We are out of the sickness slump!!!! Woohoo!!!! What a HUGE relief! My kids have been sick for about the last month, and now we are all healthy! Since we have been healthy for a few days, and the weather has been amazing (minus the couple rainy days) I have been trying to get the kids out a bit. Yesterday we went for a walk/jog. It felt so good to jog, although I could only make it about 1/3-1/2 mile (didn't want to push myself, and having not jogged in 5 months). And the kids have been so much happier getting some fresh air. I just downloaded my pics to my computer, so these may be random, but I'm just excited to have clear pictures that I have to post them.
Last weekend we helped my sister move. Well, as much as a prego lady with 2 kids and no husband can help. Glenn has had a trillion projects due lately (so he says, hehe), so he's been gone most Saturdays. But we had the next best moving helper...Dallin. He LOVES to help people. It doesn't matter what is being done, he wants to help.
There he is taking one of his "loads" to Papa's truck. He did seem to favor moving the toys...
Papa and his beast of a truck. I think this flat-bed is now being considered the "ward moving van" since it doesn't get used for anything else. It has an automatic lift gate on the back. Pretty fun to play on.
Aubrey just kicked it enjoying the warm, beautiful day. This picture is for Brooke and Shelley. She's learning the "ugly face" at such a young age!
Later, I took the kids to the park to give Glenn some quiet study time.
She loves to play in (and eat) dirt and sand, but couldn't handle it being in her shoes. Random sidenote: Aubrey is always grooming her nails. She will come to me showing me which nail needs to be clipped, and won't stop until I fix it. She is going to be such a girl...I'm scared!!!
Having fun!! (or maybe not)
Monday for FHE treat we decided to make some cookies. Dallin LOVES to help make cookies and always pulls his little chair over to stand on. Aubs finally figured out how to get her chair over by us so she could help too. She was so proud of herself! She has helped me make pretty much every meal since. My kids are so great! I love that they love to help. Random sidenote #2: This morning I was scrubbing the kitchen floor. Aubs went and found a towel to help scrub. Dallin's favorite job is the dishes! He loves washing them, then starting the dishwasher.(after I have put them in) I hope they will always enjoy working!!!
Aubs was being so funny while we were playing outside. She was having a blast crawling through the ivy. I was afraid she'd get eaten alive by black widows, but I wasn't willing to go in after her if there were spiders. She's still alive. Here's to the next 24 hours, and hoping that Glenn will never, ever have to leave us again for 10 days.
Example 2: Dallin can wash his hands and get a drink from the drinking fountain at church ALL BY HIMSELF. Now, he has been able to do this for a while, but for some reason it just hit me today that he's getting to be such a big boy. 
Example 3: Dallin went to primary without clinging to Gia's legs. (my mom is in the primary presidency) He sat reverently and when it was time for classes, went willingly. This is a big deal considering he has cried every time they have left for classes since he has been a Sunbeam. Example 4: Aubrey LOVES nursery. I know, I know, she's not even 16 months, but they have banned babies from Young Women's and Glenn has had to attend different wards for their ward conferences. She practically bangs the door down to get in. She sits when it's lesson, singing and snack time, and gets along well with all the other kids. As sad as it is that she's growing up, I welcome the independence. These are just a few examples of my kids growing up. Aubs has been listening and obeying what we have been telling her. It's been heavenly! And Dallin loves learning how to spell different words. Also, it amazes me how quickly Dallin is learning songs in primary. See clip below...
