1)We went and picked out carpet in Mesquite for our place in Logandale. (Also picked out counter tops but don't know when we will be able to do that). We have been unable to clean our nasty carpet in Provo due to someone not sealing the floor beneath that carpet....hello!! Who was the dummy that did that? N-E ways we are not going to stand for crappy carpet anymore. If we will be in this house for a while before we are able to build we want it nice. We found a beauty on sale, and they are supposed to measure our place today. Yay!!
2)Lyla Jane turned 8 months old. Can't believe it. She is attached to me by the hip lately. I can't leave the room and she wants me to hold her at all times. Sometimes its hard to get stuff done but I love it. She digs her face into my chest and just sits there. This is my most favorite thing of all. I can't get enough of her cuddles with mommy. She is so sweet.
3)Evelyn is at a point where I can feel she is officially POTTY TRAINED!! Hooray, all the hard work payed off. I am pleased we got her to this point before she turned three. Trips are oh so fun now, helping her go potty on the side of the road. Hey, at least she isn't going in her pants.
4)We bought a sweet hot pink Wii controller Evelyn and I picked out and got Wi-Fi which is amazing to have.
5)Got a visit from a very dear friend, Chelsea Greaves yesterday. It had been way to long and was so great for her to see how the girls have grown and get some much needed girl talk in. Love you Chels!
6)Got to show our house to a couple that will most likely become the new renters for a while. The girl was average height but her hubby was 6'6. Wowzers, he had to duck his head in order to walk into the other rooms. I haven't seen someone have to do that since my Grandpa Askeroth passed away. He was also 6'6. SO TALL RIGHT? And he used to be taller and be an amazing basketball player. Miss him and his wonderful one on one talks. It's was his b-day yesterday.
7)Attended our ward Relief Society's yearly birthday dinner last night. It was so nice to get out by myself and be with other sisters. The RS program is really awesome and I am so grateful for it. I am very grateful for visiting teaching and how much we help each other out. It has been really fun being in this married student ward for these past 4 years. We have made sooo many friends and it was a great break from the traditional family ward. You are all in the same boat with school and kids. Its so easy to associate with other couples. On to the Overton 4th family ward for the rest of our lives soon. We are excited for the changes moving will bring.
8)I bought and received Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld from ebay. It is the best cook book I have ever opened. It teaches not only how to incorporate veggies and fruits into every day meals, but how to get your kids to eat raw fruits and veggies better. Can't wait to dive into the whole thing, & get moving!
9)Trent had 2 more days of working at Autozone...and so close to being done with school. And since there is an end in sight it is hard to stay focused and want to go to work for even one hour. But, he always has a great attitude about everything and goes with a smile on his face.
10)Ended my very successful shopping spree for spring/summer clothing. And man I did good. With the amount I had I really got lots of great things. And it payed to look, look, and look some more. I was very picky with what I bought. I found some amazing deals. Ok the place to buy great skirts that are way on sale and great quality. Ebay. So awesome I think I got one skirt that was regularly $40 for $20 and a skirt that was $79 for like $8. I also found some amazing swimming suits at Modbe on sale for $10 per top and bottom. Oh I never buy new suits cause they are so expensive. But I was able to get 2 new ones with this deal. And they are super duper cute. I got a shirt online that was regularly $21 bucks for $2. SALES ROCK. I finally am going to feel normal and cute once again after having my 2nd baby. Plus I was stoked while trying on jean shorts and capris. I had never fit into any of those sizes before. It was a miraculous feeling, even after 2 C-sections. I guess all the hard work of doing pilates daily, lifting weights, & the Zumba Wii game is working. It really is possible, and anyone can do what they put their mind too:D
*One more thing is we received a new niece, and cousin. My sister Elliah had her baby girl a few days ago. She was able to have her 1st epidural, and she had a very nice delivery, pushed once I think. Her sweet baby girl is named Kinley Paige Terry. Paige comes from my lovely Aunt Paige (Askeroth) Olsen who is so the sweetest/neatest person. We are so happy for Elliah, Jeremiah, Breya, & Nolan who get to welcome her into their lovely family. Newborns are so neat, whenever anyone has one you get that same warm/fuzzy feeling inside. Nothing beats it.

Great job on potty training Evelyn! It is such a relief. And I know how you feel about the potty trips on the side of the road. Savanna had a period in November when she was scared of public toilets because one automatically flushed when she was on it and she refused to go on a public toilet. Of course we took a 10 hour road trip to Washington that month so she was peeing on the side of the road in the snow in 20 degree weather. Gotta love it!
Hey Tara! I just saw your comment on my blog! My blog is private, but I had to go public for a couple of days because I had some family that couldn't access (didn't know how) my blog and wanted to see Evelyn. Did I send you an invite? And, I know, I love that name too :0). We picked it 8 hours after she was born. I wanted Claire, and Seth said, what about Evelyn Claire. We were sold. Such a beautiful name. We know how to pick 'em ;).
That's exciting about this next new phase in life for you guys! It'll be so fun to see updates and such on your lives out of school. I can't wait!
