Packing, Packing, Packing

Well I have been busy packing all week long, and now I am tired, of course I woke up at 330am and had trouble going back to sleep.  But the house is about as packed as it can be without taking apart the beds, electronics and the last of the food and dishes, now onto the barn to sort and decide what I am keeping and what I am not keeping.  I have been told I need to condince down what I have and just buy replacements later when I need them rather than holding onto things for later use.  Irene now has her first tooth so both babies have been a little cranky, Irene is also running a fever and has a runny nose so that dosn't make things any easier.  But I am excited to go to Utah this next week and see our new place that Dan has picked out for us and also to see him, I miss him so much.  One more week and we will be togther again!  I am counting down the days!

Tired

Well I am tired, the twins are teething, and Ruth got her first tooth yesturday.  So as such she has been very cranky.  Today the kids are going to different peoples houses for 2 1/2 hrs so that I can focuse on packing without them here demanding my time, I just hope that this is enough this week, so that we can be packed.  Well this is short as now that the kids are getting up I need to get them ready to go in the next hour.

Until next time,

Horseback Riding!

Yesturday I went horseback riding for the first time since I was 14 years old.  I went for 1 1/2 hrs and had a blast! I told my mother in law that I wanted to go before we moved since when ever I have been here to visit or since I had moved here I was pregnat or didn't have anyone to watch the kids while I went. Thank you Katie for watching them for me to go last night. I was sore when I got off the horse Princess, but I have been fine today, but then I took a really hot shower before going to bed. Here are some pictures of my time.

Bedtime

Well it is bedtime and I am unwinding after a day with the kids. I am getting tired being by myself a lot with the little ones 24/7. It will be nice to join Dan in Salt Lake City in 2 weeks and have him home at nights and on the weekends to help with the kids. I feel that the Lord has blessed us at this time with this job that brings him home and not traveling so much. I have been struggling with getting Jennilyn and Dillon to go to sleep for awhile now, I had watched a clip of "The Nanny" recently and I decided the other night to try the technique that they suggested in helping the kids go to bed without to much trouble. This is the third night in a row and it has been working. It is nice to have them either going to sleep or at least staying in their beds by 930pm, it just takes a little more effort from me then I had been wanting to give before, but now in 10 min of sitting by their bed singing to them they are out.

Today I took Dillon and Jennilyn in for their first dentist appointment. They did really well and found out they have no cavities! Well it is getting late and I need to go to bed as the twins will have me up early.

Until next time.
