YAY!!




















For some many reasons, Yay!! First the beautiful weather we have had since thursday. We have pretty much gone to the park everyday since then. Friday we went to the park and Hunter did AMAZING!!! He didnt run away, he listened to me and obeyed!! It was wonderful! And he has continued to since. That week where he was testing limits and me having to stick to it totally paid off! When i say stop, he does!! He has just been doing so well, its like he has grown up! So any mother's out there thinking "what has happened to my sweet boy" Stick it out, be firm, and the sweet boy will come back! And i think it helps that we can go outside too. Its hard being cooped up inside the house all day.

A rain storm is supposed to be heading this way, so i am glad that we have been out of the house as much a possible.

Saturday evening we had a bbq to enjoy the weather. It was great fun and enjoyed everyone's company that came. I loved watching all the kids play in the yard. And then afterwards we burned some boxes in the firepit. It was perfect because it wasnt that big of a fire and lasted about 30 minutes. Just in time to put the kiddos in the bath and into bed. It really makes me excited for the summmer!

We started the family ward on Sunday. We went to this ward from when Hunter was born to when he was 18 months. It was fun to see our primary kids older and passing the sacrament!! It just felt like a good fit and I think we will like it there.

Yesterday Brad started his real job at the JCC in St. Anthony. His schedule is definately crazy. Today and tomorrow he works from 2-10pm, thursday he has more training and so works 8-5 and saturday is midnight to 7 am!! It was hard for Brad to leave today. He has some apprehensions about the job right now, but it could be because it is new etc. So we went to the park as a family today at noon, came home and did scriptures and prayers as a family and then Brad had to leave and Hunter went down for a nap. WHen he told hunter "bye buddy, see you tomorrow" he kind of got choked up. Change is hard! Especially when it is this drastic of a change in schedule.

Sorry we missed you at the park yesterday! It was a totally impromptu trip to the zoo, but was so fun! Glad to hear things are going well!

Oh good for you for sticking it out and being firm! I hope I'll be able to do it with Brady...
