Thanks Jen for the reminder of updating our blog! I have thought about it lately but just haven't had the time to update it. We are as busy as ever! Who would have thought that 2 kids could keep you so busy but oh how our days fly by.

Troy just finished his first test in the CPA exam and we are waiting to hear if he passed. He is starting to study for the 2nd part now. We will be so happy when he is finished. He has 3 herniated discs in his back so he has been having a hard time with that off and on. We are hoping he doesn't need back surgery becuase he doesn't have a lot of vacation time from all the trips to Guatemala.

Jenifer (me) I have been keeping very busy with the kids during the day and then Troy helps out a lot at night. I am also an Inpendent Demonstrator with a company called Uppercase Living. They are a vinyl lettering company and I go and do openhouses. That is keeping me busy becuase it is a pretty new product here in Arizona and I was the first demonstrator to sign up down here. I am having fun with that and it brings in a little extra money to help out with the extras. I love being home with my kids. They are growing so fast and I can't believe it. I'm so thankful that I have the opportunity to stay home becuase I know a lot of people would love to do it and can't. Lauren came up to me today and said "mommy I love you". I can tell you that melted my heart. Then Reagan woke up from his nap and gave me a big kiss on the cheek. I just love our kids so much.

Lauren just started preschool a three weeks ago and is loving going to school. She had to go get a new backpack and one was not enough according to her Uncle Chad so he bought her a second one so she doesn't wear the same one every day. She is learning her alphabet and learning how to trace her letters. I can't believe she is going to be 3 next month. She is the best big sister and loves her little brother so much. When we get ready to go in the car she has to pack a bag and she puts a toy in it for her and one for her brother. So when Reagan starts crying in the car she will get his toy out and he does stop crying. It's the cutest thing ever. Also when you ask her what kind of birthday she wants she says a "trampoline birthday". She is determined that she is going to get a trampoline even though her Dad is a bit hesitant to get a trampoline for a 3 year old. She was trying to talk her into a swing set but we went swing set shopping and they are over $3,000 for a basic wood swing set so now he is thinking a trampoline isn't so bad :)

Reagan is growing like a little weed. He is almost crawling but still gets around to where he wants to go. He just rolls everywhere. He now has 4 teeth but still doesn't have his 2 front teeth so the more those teeth grow in the more he has a vampire smile. :) It is so cute. He is a little mamma's boy and doesn't let me out of his sight for too long before yelling at me to come back and he's got some lungs. But over all as long as he gets his own way he is a happy little boy. We are just so lucky to have the 2 kids we've got.

Talk to y'all soon.
