Life has been a bit crazy . . . . but we are trucking through. This past month has been and adventure as it seems to be all year. In Feb. Cory came to a halt with his job. We were asked to move to Utah and because of some very serious issues that we had with his boss in previous months we chose to not continue with that company. Cory literally quit with no other job in sight or plans. So we have been going on faith. It's really weird to me because although there is no real money coming in except for unemployment --- oddly I am okay. I feel like things happen for a reason and Cory's decision to stay in Washington and not pursue his old job in Utah seems like the right step for our family. 2 years ago we felt a true pull that we needed to be in Washington and now that pull to stay is still very much there. He has been working with an old co worker to continue in the renewable energy route because he absolutely loves it and is good at it. So our plans are to continue to pursue his dream of doing his own thing with that and hopefully finding a new job! As I said . . . Faith is what we are going on right now. He has a few prospects for some jobs that would be great for him and will find out in the next week if he gets it. Final interview is on Friday. The day that everything came to a head with Cory's old boss which ended our 
employment there -- Cory got a random phone call to go sell insulation back east. We kind of took it as a sign to go because of the timing. Because the company offered to pay for the ticket . . .we had nothing to lose so Cory has been in Minnesota for the past almost 3 weeks. It has been a real reality check for me. Having 3 kids is definitely a hard thing for me - - I have been spoiled the past year to have a husband who has been able to be around to help me. I had a pretty good reality check on my first outing with all 3 kids--- and EVERYTHING went wrong. But it didn't help my stress levels were out of control on top of it. Luckily this whole thing worked out so that I did the first week on my own, then I left and went with Lacey to Idaho for the Spring Break for a week and then came back and its been 3 days. He comes home tomorrow. So we got through it! He may not have done everything he went out there to do --- but I feel like we have learned some things and put our lives in perspective of what our goals are and what we want for ourselves and our kids. I can't wait to have normal back.Our trip to Idaho was eventful as always . . . . I don't think I have ever been so frustrated with Canden as I was on this trip. He kept being SOOOOOOOOOO naughty. Between him and Parker I was truly ready for the trip to end by the time Sunday rolled around. Having TWO 2 year old boys feeding off each other was exhausting. It's always nice to see family though and spend time together --- and as always the girls day shopping was a breather for me. And I must say. . . Livee was an absolute angel the entire time. She started sleeping through the night there and frankly every time I need to take her somewhere she never made a peep. Perfect angel. Speaking of my little Angel--- did I mention how chubby she is? WOW. . . seriously this little girl is growing like crazy and I am loving every roll that pops up! She is so cute and her cheeks are just munch-able. Canden has been pretty much potty training himself lately. Since we got back he has been wearing underwear. He does pretty well . . . . we go through a few pairs a day whether he has a accident or a dribble --- he has to have new ones. Pooping is usually messy because he doesn't tell me when he has to go--- in fact he is very private about that. I usually know when he is in the bathroom with the door locked that he is pooping. . . by the time I get in there is usually quite a mess all over the toilet. But that's ok cuz he is learning. I am about to go register Araleigh for Kindergarten on Friday ---- I cannot believe my little girl is starting into the school system. I am really going to have a reality check when we can't just up and leave on a trip like we usually do. Well, thats all I can think of right now --- but I need to get some pictures on here soon.
