Updates...

It's been a little while since I've posted so I thought I would post a few updates. Unfortunately, we are having issues with our computer and it is taking FOREVER to load pictures lately. So, you will have to live without seeing pics of my sweet girls for a while.

Here are some highlights of what we have been up to:

(Side note---after reading through these, I think these highlights are just about all I ever blog about. The girls, organizing and decorating, my 20 year reunion...sorry to be a broken record!)

- Went to Grandma and Grandpa Rigby's last weekend. Great trip except that Lexi loathes her car seat now. Otherwise, the girls loved playing with Grandma and Grandpa and getting spoiled all weekend. I'm so glad that my girls have great grandparents. They absolutely love them.

- Speaking of the girls, they are doing great. Lexi is still naughty. So naughty! :) She pulls hair, bites, screams, all out attacks us. Lizette and I both have battle scars to prove it. But we are coming up with better strategies for handling it. She had her first appointment today to find out if she will be eligible for speech therapy through the Idaho Infant Toddler Program. She is still not saying many words at all, so I worry. She also has a little bit of a walking malfunction. Her right foot turns in when she walks and causes her to stumble all the time. They might be able to help her with that too. We'll see. Lizette is doing well. She just finished up her first term of gymnastics and enjoyed every moment of that. She has been lucky enough to have tons of play dates lately, which she also loves. Can't wait to post more pics of them both soon.

- Organizing and decorating our home. Well, heavier to organizing, but I am excited to post a picture of a new wall arrangement that just recently came together. I bought a fantastic piece of iron work at Graples in Nampa and then added some vinyl lettering around it that says "Find Joy in the Journey." All you LDS folk have heard this phrase I'm sure. I like it very much. Jeff and I have been talking a lot lately about how we need to DO MORE, HAVE FUN, and ENJOY LIFE. Hence, the "Find Joy in the Journey" quote on our wall. That is what we are doing now. Finding joy. In the journey.

- Ahhh, and then there is my 20 year reunion that I am in charge of. Did you know I was the senior class president at my school? Surprising to many I'm sure. However, I am learning that the reason that I was elected is because I was the only one dumb enough to say "Sure, I'll plan the reunions!" Silly, silly girl that I was. This is a stressful thing for me. To the point that I haven't even been excited about the reunion. I just want it over with! But, as you read in my last bullet, I am now finding joy in the journey. So, I am trying to have a better attitude. I am looking forward to seeing dear friends that I never get to see anymore. Anyway, stay tuned for more details as this event unfolds. Yikes!

- I have decided that I am done with crafts. No more beads or hair bows or home made cards or paper scrapbooking. I'm done! Cold turkey. No more. I have found that I get extremely frustrated doing craft projects. I end up spending way more money than I plan on. Take way more time than I plan on. And then I just get frustrated. So this is my plan. I'm getting rid of most of my supplies. Only keeping a few things for projects with the kids. From now on my focus will be what I enjoy most. Decorating and organizing our house and digital scrapbooking. Those are going to be my "thing" now. Just so you know.

And, that is all I have for now.
