catch up...

****Life has been, well, busy I guess...just haven't had the time to sit at the computer and catch up on things...and of coarse since life has been busy, there is a lot to catch up on, which makes it even more difficult. Anyway, I need to post about our Christmas trip still and our trip to Kansas for Brandon's cousin's wedding. Those are the major events that have happened in the past couple of months...oh not to mention:

-Madyson is going potty some now

-Madyson started climbing out of her crib, which led to not going to sleep very well...ah! We took off the side rail and she is staying in bed better, but has now started to come into our bed around 5 am. She has NEVER slept with us her entire life at all, unlike the other two. It is an adjustment that we're all still working on.

-Madyson climbing up the piano, yep up on the keys...she likes to play the piano with her feet.

-Madyson climbing on the end tables and jumping onto the couch

So if you haven't gathered already, Madyson has entered the toddler phase of her life...she won't be two until June!

-Sarah amazing me everyday with her very intellectual self...("Mom, did you know that the sun was a great big star?"..."Mom, did you know that there are rocks on the moon?" ...Mom, why this?, why that?, why?, why?, why?) Mom: "Sarah, why do you always have to ask so may questions?" Sarah: "Cause that's how Heavenly Father made me."

-One day I was trying to help Kaden get a snack after school...he is always starving when he gets home. Sarah was trying to get my attention...Mom: "Sarah, I'm getting something for Kaden right now, can you just be patient please and then I'll help you?" Sarah: "Mom, Heavenly Father didn't make me patient!" (Yes, she is still just 3 years old.)

Kaden is happy and doing just great with all that life has to offer a little 5 year old. He has handled the all-day Kindergarten very well, but he does get worn out after those long weeks and looks forward to the weekends. He is also staying an extra hour after school once a week for some tutoring with his reading.

We are currently trying to buy a home...very exciting, but still in the works. We'll keep you posted on all of it! Brandon has recently registered to take the GMAT at the end of March. He would like to start his MBA part time in the fall at UT-Dallas. Hopefully he gets in. We feel like it's a great fit for him and he'll be able to continue working, so hopefully it works out.

Hopefully I'll get the pics posted soon!
