Life has been starting to get CRAZY! Jan/Feb was soooooo slow.. and seemed like spring would never come with all it's exciting things to do. And now that it's just around the corner I am saying "Ahhhhhhh!" Pretty wild time of year.
We have been VERY blessed this past month to get 2 things we had always wanted, but never thought we'd ever afford to! The first is a new 60" Flat Screen TV (Yes, you read that right!) from a friend up in Josh's home town for only $50! Talk about INSANE! They just wanted to get rid of it, and gave us a 99% markdown special! :) lol.
The 2nd item is a Nintendo Wii game set! When our tax return money came back we had much more than we thought we'd get (yay!) and Josh & I love playing these, and so we decided to splurge! It has been soooo fun, and we have really busted Cabin Fever with it.. it is sooo great! :)
We also FINALLY have updates on my parent's house progress next-door.. My dad finally finished the wiring (This took a lot longer than anyone ever thought) then the insulating and Josh & Ken's crew came back this week and sheetrocked the whole upper level! It looks amazing!!! Things are really moving along fast now, which we are so thankful for! But it will still be at least a month and a half (my guess) before it is finished enough for them to move. This week the mudders/tapers should be coming to finish up the sheetrocking. Then the flooring and appliance people I think. :)
The girls have been doing great! Leah all of a sudden started learning lots of songs and sings them over and over! It's like all the teaching I tried to do with her when she was 2 suddenly paid off and she knows lots of cute songs! I need to get some videos of her singing and post them. She is also very excited for her birthday party, coming up later this week!
Bekah has been WALKING! Yes, she took her first step this past week, and walks a few steps before falling down. She is sucha big girl, and is really babbling a lot as well. No specific words that I can tell, but its pretty cute. :) Her hair is finally starting to grow as well, making her look less like a boy! lol But she will keep her red hair and blue eyes as well!!! I was never so happy for blue eyes in my whole life! SOOO beautiful!
Next month, we will be going on a family vacation to Atlanta, GA to visit Josh's aunts & uncles and their families for 8 days! We are super-excited to have been given a great deal on plane tickets by Josh's brother James, and we are excited for the time to visit family! Plus I hear GA's weather right now is in the 80's! YES! We will be flying for the 1st time as a family, with both girls, so I am researching lots of "flying with kids" websites getting good ideas. :) Anyone have some tips?
Hope all of you are having a good spring, aside from the yucky muddiness and water in "lakes" around our house, lol, we are having a great and busy spring! Blessings!

My tip---bring lots of snacks! When the toys, crayons, and games get old, kids still love to munch! This has always kept us occupied on long trips and flights. Good luck!
