Life in the not so Mt. Home

Well, apparently I have become quite boring, because I have had absolutely nothing to blog about. Between my new calling and life I have been running around busy and have no idea what I have accomplished! Last night we signed Natalie up for dance class. She is so excited she just keeps saying, when do I get to go to dance class, today or tomorrow. OF course they don't start until next week but to her next week might as well be next year, because she has no concept of time! She put on her leotard last night and did some dances for us, which was quite fun but of course I forgot to get any pictures of it. That figures.
We have had some interesting things happen to us in the past few weeks. All of our money was stolen from our account and our credit cards were filled with fraudulent charges. WE found out it all came from paypal and luckily we were able to get everything straightened out and our money back. But not without at least 6 or 7 fees from companies that were trying to get our money out of our account that was EMPTY!!! Hopefully I can get all of them straighted out, but these things take time. So be careful with paypal people and do not link it to your bank account. I learned my lesson the hard way. If your credit cards are attached check your accounts frequently just in case!! WEll thats all for now from the great state of confusion. All that my brain can handle anyhow.

We're still here!

So I have been so bad at posting lately. Life has been quite hectic. I'm not sure what I've been doing, but its something really important I'm sure. So Natalie has been quite hilarious this week and tonight she was really cracking me up! I was preparing a lesson for sharing time, I'll get back to that later, and Natalie says, Come here guys, I need you. So we go back to the back room where she likes to pretend her house is (apparently she is in need of her own house, caus this house isn't big enough for the three of us!) We get back there and we're like, whats going on? She goes, "look at my river" which is apparently in the hallway which we were unaware of. So we're like, that is so cool, does it have any fish in it. She says "no, it doesn't have fish, is has shark in it dad" Oh excuse us, shark, who would have known. Then she proceeds to make her father swim down the river in the shark infested waters. Luckily he came out alive, but I can't say the same for her Barbie who was downstream. She has had some very hilarious things to say these past few weeks, such as, "What, Mickey is over, I can't believe it. You've got to be freakin kidding me", along with "Mom Dante (our dog) has a funny face. The white is all over and crazy. He's all jacked up" or "It's okay if you want to go to town mom. Its just over there, I'll drive you in my convertible car" Yes, I'm sure she is getting these things from me,well except the convertible car (I only wish!) and no I am not proud of it!

So back to my sharing time lesson. The reason why I am preparing a sharing time lesson is because I am the newest Primary President of our ward. Yes folks, you heard me right, me, Primary President. I'm not going to lie to you, I am scared to death! But, I am very excited as well! It will be an experience like none I have had before. I pray I can be a wonderful leader for all the great children in our ward. It will be quite the growing experience for me I'm sure! AS you can see from the above quotations from my adorable 2 year old, I am in need of some spiritual growth, so the Lord has big plans for me! I hope I can learn and grown and take some important lessons away from this experience!!! I think the hardest part of the job thus far is teaching sharing time! I think I'm scared of little children. When I developed this fear I do not know, but wow I haven't been that frightened in some time!
