Today Landon and Korbin were downstairs playing. Korbin reached over for Landon's stick horse and instantly Landon grabbed it away from him. I gave him a little talk about sharing. He wasn't impressed, so I said to him, "What would Jesus do?"
Landon thought about it and said, "Well, he'd share the horse, but I'm not Jesus."
LOL!!!

Too Funny
Well, our family has been very sick with the flu. Landon seems to be over it, finally, and Chris is doing much better. Korbin and I are still struggling, at the moment. With this nasty flu comes a horribly head splitting headache.
Yesterday, as I was massaging my head, trying to relieve the pain Landon turns to Chris quietly and says, "Look Dad, Mom's doing something girly...like entertaining her brain or something." LOL! I just couldn't help but laugh, despite how rotten I felt! Thank heaven for funny little boys!

Unpacking
Well, we've had a nightmare come true! We got a phone call Saturday morning to tell us that the VA wouldn't give our buyers a loan on our house and also said that they have determined the buyers can not afford that much. We were so upset, if you can imagine!
After spending 4 weeks packing, getting excited and finding a new house, I now have to unpack. I held it together pretty good for a while, but today it finally hit me. I was in tears! Luckily, I have a great mom, who dropped everything to spend the morning helping me put the house back together. I'm not quite done, but we knocked out a good portion of the work out. I'm so grateful for such a helpful and loving mom.
I've been working non stop, so I've stopped to take a little computer break, which may have been a bad thing, as I'm not sure I can get up now! LOL! But the show must go on!!!!
We have one family interested that lives out of state. They've asked for very detailed pictures of the entire house. So, we'll see if that pulls up any interest. One thing we have going for us, is that the mortgage rates have dropped and housing in Utah has dropped, so it is expected that their will be a lot of good activity for northern Utah homes this Spring. So, let's hope.
Anyway, I'm just trying to unpack, redecorate and find some peace to this confussion! Once my house is all together, we are going to go forward with Foster Care. We put it on hold to sell, but sale or no sale, we are ready to move forward with it! Wish us luck!

St. George, UT
As most of you know, we have been trying to sell our house. It has been very frustrating because our buyers are doing a VA loan, rather than conventional. So, to escape from the stress we headed to St. George Saturday night. We got there at 2:30am.
It was soooooo nice!!! It was 69degrees F and we were able to swim in the outdoor pool on Sunday. It was just heavenly. The boys loved the pool. Landon can touch in the shallow end now and Korbin just thought it was great to float.
We were, also, able to go over to Cedar City for the evening to visit with one of Chris's mission companions. They had a fun time recalling old times and remembering their adventures.
Monday we spent at the Wildlife Center. It was pretty interesting and full of all kinds of animals and insects to look at. My favorite was the wall of butterflies. Part way through the lights went out and a "thunderstorm" came....inside the center. Landon was a little scared, but it was pretty cool. They had good sound effects and the lighting was good, too.
We spent a lot of time just relaxing next to the pool, playing at the park and doing a bit of shopping. I got to buy a new camera, which was very exciting for me!
Anyway, it was nice to refresh ourselves, but I'll tell you what....I am ready to go back! LOL! I miss the sun!

Korbin
Korbin is at a very, very fun age. He is so interactive now and is always ready for a new adventure. He loves exploring and loves to pull apart anything...including his diaper.
Yeah, well, today I went in to get him up from his nap. His diaper had been pulled off, he'd pooped, played in it and yes, even tasted it. EWWWW!!!! I was sooooo grossed out! There was a cute, but poopy (head to toe) little baby looking up and grinning at me with poop around his lips! Needless to say, it was a mad dash to the tub and then I go the joy of cleaning up the poop. Great.
Besides the poop, which babies do come with, he is such a joy to be around! He is so dang cute and always wanting to show off his new skills, whatever they may be at the time.
Right now he is loving the fact that he can stand unassisted for long periods of time. He will sit down, stand up, sit down, stand up over and over and he just thinks he is "all that". Sometimes when he isn't noticing, he will let go and take 2 or 3 steps. Then he realizes what he's doing, freaks out and sits down with a grin on his face.
He is too much fun! We love having him. He has brought his peice of the puzzle to the family and while we aren't quite finished, his peice is so important!
