Been awhile

Hey, its been awhile!  Guess i have a few min. to update those who check this :)  The girls are doing great!  Julia only has 7 more days of school and she is sooooooo excited. She keeps saying she will be a 2nd grader right after school gets out next wed.  And Madie keeps saying she will be a kindergartener then too.  Ella is such a good talker, when she wants to be.  Otherwise, she is pretty lazy with how she puts her sounds together lol.  Aubrey is crawling all over the place and pulling up to things.  If i hold her hands, she will walk on her own.  I think she is still months away from walking though, and will most likely be my latest walker.  I dont care though.  

The weather has been slowly creeping up the high temp. lately.  We hit over a 100 last week, and today will be around 94.  The lows are usually in the low 70s! HAHA weird.  But its better than when summer is fully here and the lows are in the 90's...ick.  I'll be looking at Oregon's weather then and be jealous.

Took the day off from working out to Insanity.  While i have noticed changes in my arms and slight toning in other places, its not enough!!  Im so frustrated!  I watch what i eat, i've always eaten pretty healthy.  My problems were not eating often enough, and to big of portions when i did eat.  I changed that, and did Insanity for over 3 months, with no change on the scale.  Talk about bummed.  "It will happen, it takes time, dont give up" are all things i've heard and repeated to tell myself.  But when skinny people are telling you those things, it doesnt help much :/  I could go on more about how upset it makes me, but i remind myself that others may read this lol.

Ugh, im so sick of the backyard of this house.  I didnt really have a choice when it came to picking this house, since we were signing the lease to it from the hospital, when i was having Aubrey.  And since we were leaving to head here when she was only 8 days old, i wanted to have an actual place to come too :)  The house size is fine, im OK with it being a Ranch style, which i really dont care for usually.  I dont like the layout though.  We gave up one of the bedrooms for the playroom, because it is the first room when you enter the house.  It has 3 tall windows in it, and i was not comfortable having one of my kids sleeping in that room.  Not using that as a room, is making Madie and Ella share a room.  Which actually is fine.  Madisen is the only one that can fall asleep to Ella's talk-til-she-passes-out nightly thing she does.  I let Julia have her own room since she is the oldest and wanted her own space, plus none of the rooms, besides the master, has enough room for a bed AND a crib, plus 2 dressers.  So the baby is in our room, on my side of the bed.  Its worked out ok because she has been little.  But she is getting bigger now and im ready for her to share with her sisters or have her own room. 

I think when our lease is up, we are going to find a new rental,as much as i HATE moving, one that is bigger and has an actual yard.  My dream after having kids, was to have a back yard that i could have a play structure in, a sandbox, and a water table for the little ones.  I wanted to make the back yard a fun place to hang out in, and just be able to watch the kids play.  Cant do that here!  And no, not because its too hot.  Its only to hot for that about 5 months out of the year.  Perfect otherwise.  Anyways, the dog cant even enjoy the back yard in this house.

Kinda excited to start a new job soon (not sure when).  It will mostly be from the house with possible going to the office on the days Jeremy is off work and can be home with the kids.  It will be working for my Realtor (the one who helped us get this rental) and some other guy.  Not sure the pay or anything, but im sure he will be fair.  He's a nice guy.  Possibly be able to get a second car if the whole job thing works out.  We are thinking about getting Jeremy a scooter thing this week.  They are only about $1000 and he can pay it off with his work bonus in July.  That way i will have the car to take the kids and pick them up from school.  They start back at the end of July and its waaaay to hot to walk them all then.  I did it at the end of Aug. last year and it was 119*.  Not gonna do that again! 

The two youngest are up now, so gotta go!!
