Update!

So here goes... Well Dakota is crawling on all fours now and getting into everything. She is quite the explorer and she climbs. We are in trouble. She is much happier now that she can move around and she is getting feistier. She is really fun and loves to get you and tease you! Owen is potty trained!! Yippeeee! He now will say, "I pee in my panties!" When he has to go pee or poop! He thinks it is funny to tease me about it. He is a toad. They both are, but they are dang cute ones!! The Border Patrol is doing an extensive background check on Nate. It is getting tedious! They have to talk to 2 of our neighbors in every place we have ever lived in the past ten years or 7 I can't remember. Same with all of his employers. They have to find people to verify that we lived their. And they have to verify that he worked the jobs he did! It is insane, I understand why, but man it is annoying and a long process. They guy keeps calling me and asking me if I know of anyone that knew we lived in the certain places. WE HAVE MOVED ALOT!! SO IT IS ALOT OF PEOPLE TO INTERVIEW! Poor Guy!

NEWEST NEWS

So we have some news to tell all and thought it would be easiest to do it through the blog for a few reasons:
1. We know everyone has their opinion and that is fine, but the expression of it is not always welcome in some situatutions. Such as this one. We would love to hear good positive things and congratulations, but negative and discouraging ones are not welcome! We say this as nicely as possible we just don't want to hear negative things.

2. Being that it is easier to let everyone know by saying it once and letting them read it when they want.

We are doing good and we are expecting our 3rd baby. We have an ultrasound tomorrow to find out how far I am. Yes, we are scared as you are with any new change or addtion, but we are happy about it. We are doing what God wants us to do even though others may think they know better than us. We have always found a way to follow Gods plan and have things work out the way He has planned. After the 3rd baby, we may be done, but we don't know. It is up to God.

We love you all and welcome any good, encouraging and positive comments. We realize Dakota and this new baby will be under 2 years apart and it is scary, but we felt strongly that it was what God wanted even though we tried to ignore it. The way I see it is that our children will be good friends and out of the house quicker to give us grand babies, which I here are much better. LOL :) We are happy and will accept and love this new baby!

It has been a while sice I have blogged. Sorry! Nate has been working out on that New Harmony fire alot! I missed him, but now he is home for 3 days. We went up to my families cabin on Cedar Mountain last night. Owen loved it up their, He just would wander off and he didn't care if he got lost. He would just explore the mountain and play with dirt and sticks not worrying where he was heading. Sounds familiar...Hmm... Dakota loved it too. She is crawling all over the place. Her favorite place to be is in Owens room. She loves to pull all the books off the bookshelf and then move on to his toys.

They have been really goods kids this week with Nate being gone as much as he was. The second they both they see their dad they get really excited and start bouncing around and they both want all of his attention. Friday night Owen didn't go to bed UNTIL 11:00. He heard Nate come in at 9:30 and he came and sat on Nate's lap and just talked away to him about everything. It was pretty cute. Dakota is a tease. She will grab my hair or my face and turn me towards her and just laugh. She is sure a cutie. well I have to get ready for church, I am giving the lesson in R.S. today!!
