quick update

Just wanted to make a quick update! Lets see what are we doing??? Kevin is going to Wyotech starting next week and I must say I'm excited for him to start school for more than one reason! He has been watching the kids while i work nights at Walmart and he is soooooo good at it. I usually make dinner for the family before I leave and he feeds them, bathes them and puts them to bed. He plays with them and I know he really enjoys his kids. This makes me very happy.

Thomas is moving to Cortez Co. to live with his dad. This was mostly Thomas' decision. He feels like he doesn't belong with us. I can see why. I'm always yelling or getting on to him for something. Either its him being mean to the girls or smarting off to me. He says the girls get more attention than he does and I can see that. He gets more negative attention because he's older and because he makes bad decisions. I tried spending more time with him and praising him when he does something good but the bad outweigh the good on that one. Ill miss him very much and right now I'm very sad but i think he needs some time with his dad. He also has a new step mom and I hope things work out as far as him respecting her and knowing she is his mother as well. I like Nikki (new mom's name) she has been very good for Thomas' dad and is the reason he is doing so well now. I hope she can influence Thomas as well.

Kambree is doing great! We are trying to potty train her and so far so good. She runs around in panties or with nothing on all day long and will tell one of us if she need's to go. She likes to be alone when she poo's she says "mom get out now pwease". She is such a character. Kathryn is her best friend. I'm so glad they are so close in age because they play great together. Now Kambree will be mean and TRY to beat up on Kathryn but Kathryn can really hold her own when it comes to her sister being a bully. Things Kambree's into now are makeup, Disney princess, dresses and shoes. The other day I walked into her room and to my surprise there were clothes piled up in front of her closet. She had taken ALL the clothes out of her closet and off the hangers just to find her "pretty dress". She ended up putting on four dresses at the same time and could barley move! I so should have taken a picture of it!

Kathryn is now almost 15 months old and she is mommy's girl! I love that little rugrat! She follows Kambree everywhere she goes and gets into just as much trouble! She has learned to climb up on to the kitchen chairs and up on to the table just like Kambree! Our table is next to our only kitchen window and about a week ago they were both up there pushing on the glass and it cracked! I feel so lucky that they didn't get hurt. Well now we fold up our chairs and put them away when we are done using them. Yes our chairs fold up:) Any who Kathryn says a few words that we are able to understand like"owie" and "momma" she will repeat what we say sometimes if she is in the mood. She hates shoes and dresses. I think she's my tomboy! Kambree is the prissy one and Kathryn is the rough and tough one!

As for me I am working part time and I like it so far. I really need that break from the kids and Kevin. Me time i guess. I think i function better when I'm on a schedule and that kind of keeps my moods up. I have been off antidepressants for over a month and feel soooooo much better than i did in St George. I have my own place and my kids have their own rooms and oh yeah i forgot to mention MY OWN KITCHEN!! I can clean and organize my stuff and when i go looking for something its almost ALWAYS where i put it last!!!! AAAAHHHH!!! big sigh of relief!! So in a nutshell things are good and hope they will stay that way! Ill keep ya all updated as much as possible!! LOVE TO YOU ALL!! RAY
