Finally, a new post.

Yes, I am alive. I know I haven't blogged for a while. Chaz's computer broke last week so I haven't had any motivation to blog since he can't even see it. My sister Kylee texted me today to see if I was still alive since the blog has been neglected and after I told her why I hadn't blogged she said, "but other people still read your blog!" She's right. So she motivated me to blog :) I also got a comment from Chaz saying he will check the blog on his roommates computer. SO, here is our newest post. There isn't a whole lot to catch you up on other than the fact that:
1. Ammon is growing. My cousin, Britney, gave him his first hair cut the other day. His hair got so knotted in the back that he had dreads and I couldn't get them out so Britney decided it was time to cut his fine hair so it wouldn't knot anymore. Problem solved! He looks so cute with his hair all tamed now :) (In these pics he still has longer hair)

2. Marek LOVES to color people pictures and put stickers all over them. He always asks to color and put his picture in an envelope to send out in the mail. If you haven't got a letter and would like one from Marek just leave us your address because he would LOVE to "write" you ;)
3. I took Marek, Ammon and Eli out to the park and to Burger King. I hauled them all into BK and everyone and their dog was staring at me. No doubt thinking, "Has she EVER heard of birth control??" It was a sight to see. They all behaved rather well though and the boys loved their BK hats and nuggets. How sweet was that big burley motorcyle dude who came up to me when I was leaving and asked if he could carry Ammon out to the car for me :)
4. I started potty training Marek. It is a hit and miss. Sometimes I put him in his underwear and sometimes he still wears a diaper. I think I am more just warming him up to the idea and trying to get him WANTING to go potty in the toilet and wear big boy underwear. He did pee in the toilet the other day! I was so proud! And here are his new slippers he loves that we got at our favorite second hand store "Once Upon a Child."
5. I bought Marek this doodle pad thing. I forgot what it is called. Anyway, I bought it for him because he is obsessed with writing on EVERYTHING. He just wants to color and write! I remind him that he can do whatever he wants on this pad of his. He really loves it. I also got him a bubble blower. That thing is awesome too but I only have captured all the fun on video, no pics.
6. Britney and Casey (my cousin and her husband) moved to Nashville! They are staying here with me for a while until they can move into their home. It has been really fun to have them both here. I have been going to bed super late cuz I stay up and talk to them. It is fun finally having adults with me past 8 ;) It is so good to have family around again.
Chaz- I have a ton of videos for you to see on youtube. I'll start downloading them even though I am sure you won't be able to see them for a while. Also, I'm thinking I would like it if you just bought a computer at your PX even if they are overpriced. Just get the cheapest one. I think that would be better than waiting another MONTH to talk to you. I really am not the happiest person alive when I don't get to talk to you for days on end. I was much more better off talking to you on a daily basis!! Lots has happened and I just want to talk to you!!!
I think it is an understatement when I say I miss you.
I don't know if you will check your email so please just call me! I've been waiting and carrying my phone around for days. Call me!

The boys are so adorable. Awful brave of you to venture out with 3 little ones, but I use to do it and I survived....Yes, bless that wonderful biker that offered to help. Where was everybody else's mind (rather than just staring.

Anyway, Grandpa and I would love a Marek picture/letter. We will answer back also. 649 N 65th St Mesa, AZ 85205.

Sara I know you miss your hubby alot. I too would encourage him to buy a computer so you don't miss a minute from each other. It has to be double hard on him being away from all of you...

We are hoping to see you and Chaz for just a second when he is home and you are in Utah. What we need to do is set up a place where everyone can meet you guys for a couple of hours and then you two and the boys disappear for some alone time while he is home.

We love you and I also was really concerned when you weren't writing. Next time I will call. Bless Kylie...
