Please Dont Stop the Music

Last week was General Conference. Maddy's favorite part is leading the choir, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir of course!

This video is him leading, and halfway gets bored and decides to dance instead.

Please dont stop the music...music...music..... he's too cute!

Big Boy Bed

We are all moved in to our new place and we LOVE it!!!! It is SOOO nice to have our own space. Since Maddy's birthday is in a few short weeks we decided to buy him a "big boy bed". It had cars on it an everything so I thought for sure he would love it. He has been sleeping with us since he was born, and needless to say it was getting old. Mike and I promised ourselves once we moved, it was over. The first night Maddy struggled, which I expected being in a new place, and a new bed. Halfway through the night he insisted I sleep next to him ON THE FLOOR! Not fun, but at least we were breaking the habit of him sleeping in our bed. The next night he slept on the floor with me. Now he wont sleep in his bed at all. HOWEVER... he sleeps throught the night on the couch. So for now, thats where he stays. Im to the point where as long as he is asleep, and its not in my bed, he can sleep wherever he wants. In his bed, on the couch, in the bathtub... i dont care! So needless to say, ive considered it a success that he officially doesnt sleep in our bed! Whoo hoo! Here are a few pictures of Mike setting up the bed... maybe one day Maddy will actually use it, for longer than an hour.(yes, Maddy still uses a bottle... thats our next project)

I only have 5 days left! AHH!

Alright so this month I have been in a contest with my Mary Kay unit. I need NINE more new clients by the end of the month and I need your help! I only have 1 class left this month and Im pretty sure I wont get all NINE new clients from just 1 class. So if your looking for some fun spring eye shadows, need some new moisturizer, looking for some sunless tanning lotion or maybe some new mascara, (and about any other cosmetic you could possiby think of) will you glance by my website and order?? If youre not in town I will ship it to you FREE! Thanks ya'all!

A Minute of Your Time?

Can I borrow a few of your minutes? You see, I feel like I dont have enough minutes in the day, so could I borrow a few of yours? We are moving next week (just down the street, nothing too major) but that still means there is packing to be done. Ive been working in the salon crazy hours (yesterday was 6am-9pm), laundry and the usual cleaning, Mary Kay classes to attend, and did I mention I have a 2 year who I just cant give enough attention to (at least thats what he thinks)? There is just TOO much to do and NOT enough time. So, if you have any left over minutes when your day is through, do you mind if I borrow them!?

I think its about time for an update. So much has happened the last couple of weeks.

First of all, WE'RE MOVING! Mike and I have been thinking about moving out (its about time to get out of the parents house!) and have been looking for a place the last couple of weeks. We had decided that we really loved our old ward, and we really loved our old complex, so why not move back. We made an appointment to meet with the apartment manager, and we filled out our application and made the deposit. I have to admit, the day we went I had this gut feeling that Mike and I needed to say a prayer that we were being led in the right direction. Did I listen to the prompting? Of course not! But its a good thing we get second chances. After the manager showed us which apartment we would be in, I had this feeling I needed to go introduce myself to the neighbors. I acted on this prompting. As soon as I approached a neighbor she immediately started telling me all these things about the complex. All I said was "hi", and then the conversation sounded a little something like this...

Her "I am so glad you came back around to check out the apartment and talk to me. When I saw you driving around in the cart with the apartment manager my heart sunk because I knew I needed to tell you not to move here."
Me: "Oh really? Why?"
Her "This complex has really gone downhill. Ive lived here 4 years and Im breaking my lease to get out. I am a single mom with a 7 year old and its not safe anymore. Just recently a meth ring was busted up in the back of the complex and 2 days ago all 4 of my tires were slashed. The reason why your apartment is emptied is because the tenant was drug from her car as she was getting out and into another mans apartment and was assaulted. We warned management over and over again that the guy was a creeper but they wouldnt do anything about it. For the sake of your child, dont move here."

Ok so obviously it wasnt meant for us to be moving into the complex, but I have to admit, i was DEVISTATED! I thought we had everything figured out. Fortunately one of my clients tipped me off and told me about another great complex and when we checked it out we LOVED it! Its perfect, and gated, and will be awesome for us. I was telling another one of my clients about the complex we had chosen and she told me that her boyfriend lives 2 doors away from us, and hes a cop! She said most of the police department lives in my complex. This made me feel SO much better about choosing this complex, because one of our main concerns is safety. We are so excited! So now we will be in another ward, but we are excited for the change. Move out date is April 1! YAY!!!! We feel SO blessed!

Second big news is BABIES!! Not for us, but for my sister (and I guess her husband had a little bit to do with it) She is due the end of October, early November and we are SO excited! I think its going to be a little wierd not being pregnant together this time around, but we are ready for Maddox to have some cousins to play with! Congrats sissy!

Well ok, so I guess not that much has happened. Its just been such a rollercoaster I guess it seems like more has happened than really has. Oh well.

Big Announcement!!!

Mike passed his Series 65 test!!! YAY!!! He has been studying like CRAZY for the last 2 weeks, day and night, and last night he PASSED!!!! He's officially an investment advisor! YAY!!! We are SOOOOO glad that is behind us! It has taken other people 2 and 3 times to pass and Mike passed the first time! I am SOO proud of him! Congratulations Mike!! I love you!
