Updates

House Update
Well we found out yesterday that we will be able to build the house that we want!!! I signed all of the papers and faxed them back today! That means that we officially have a contract on the house and that it belongs to us. It will take 6 months to build, but we will be able to pick out all of the colors, countertops, flooring etc. I was really excited because the lot that we got is in a culdisac, I love the idea of being on a road where the girls can ride their bikes (when they get them) and not have to worry about a lot of traffic. I had to do all of the signing for Beau since he is still out on the boat. Hmmm the things I could do with a Power of Attorney!!! Just kidding babe! The down side to this house is the time frame of 6 months. We are working on few options of where to stay from August until the end of October when the house is done. We pray for the best situation.

Job Update
Ironically just after we found out we were moving I got a job promotion! Since they new I was leaving at the end of June the asked me to fill in until they found someone permanant. It is sad because they really wanted me for the job ( a little self esteem booster!). For those of you that don't know what I've been doing. I've been working at the local YMCA. I originally started working in the kids play area (child care while the parents workout called the Kids Zone), then on top of that I was working at the front desk in membership, and every other Thursday I run a pre-school progrom (we've had a tea party, teddy bear picnic, race car party etc.). It is a great job because the girls come with me and I get half price on all of the programs so Olivia's been able to take swimming lessons and spanish for a really decent price.
Anyway, so my new job is as Kids Zone Coordinator. What this job entails is all hiring, staffing, and over seeing of the Kid Zone. I have about 15 employees (ex-co-workers). I have to do all of their payroll, take care of any problems and basically just run that department. With that title I also take on all of the pre-school programs that we have and facilitate birthday parties . We currantly have 4 seperate pre-school classes plus soccer, which I'm not incharge of but have helpped to iron out the kinks in a new program. I really enjoy it so far even though it is a lot of work. The girls still come with me, but I don't interact as much with them during the day because I am in another office. It's not very far from where they are, but before I was in there with them all day long and it has been an adjustment for them. I am a little sad that I won't be able to keep this job for very long because it is a great opportunity for me, but I of course am more excited about Beau being home everynight and owning our own home.
Baby Update
So far thing with the pregnancy are going well (shh! I shouldn't say that too loud). Olivia now says that she wants a brother, but I think that is just because I keep telling her that's what we want. :) I won't find out the my exact due date for a couple of weeks because Beau wanted to be home for the Drs. visit. Isn't he the best husband ever!!!! I am extremely tired with this pregnancy already. I don't remember being this tired with the girls. Everyone says it's because I have two other kids, which is probably partly true. The girls especially Taryn keep me on my toes.
Speaking of Taryn......today when I put her down for a nap she climbed out of her pak 'n play (which is a regular occurance these days) found one of my purses that had a pen in it and colored all up and down her legs with a blue pen! I didn't even think to take a picture of it, but thank goodness the baby wipes took it right off! She sleeps in her pak 'n play for her naps because she would never sleep with Olivia in the same room, and Olivia has to have quiet time while Taryn is taking a nap. I get a good 2hrs of quiet in the afternoon. Olivia doesn't always sleep, but she can if she wants to and today she did, it was very peaceful around her for a few hours.
Sorry the updates were so long, but I also have to keep Beau updated along with everyone else. And Mom, please just ignore all of my spelling mistakes, I don't have the desire to go back and read through this again. Love to all!
