It's been forever since I posted anything on here. We have been good but busy. In March we moved to Herriman to live in our old farmhouse. The house is over 100 years old. It is complete with an old cellar and and cute white porch. We have a half an acre fenced in and the boys love it. Every day they get to go out and have adventures. We are surrounded by farms and have cows and horses in the fields next to us. It is great and we are loving it. Now I am just trying to convince Stephen to help me plant a garden. For some reason he thinks that planting a garden will turn him into a slave!
The kids are getting so big! Grant is finishing up first grade and is such a good reader! His favorite books to read are non fiction. He loves learning about animals, tornadoes, and anything else where he can learn something new. He wrote a poem for school last week about vampires. It said- "I see blood, I smell blood, I hear blood, I feel angry, I taste blood." It was pretty disturbing until he told me it was about vampires! He continues to be too smart for his own good. You can almost see the wheels turining in his head when he is thinking of something. His eyes get big and you can tell he is processing!
Theron is a big ball of love. He is almost always happy and loves giving his brothers hugs and
kisses. Although, they are not such fans of receiving his hugs and kisses so it usually causes fights. But he has great intentions! Last week we took him to a candy factory with his old preschool friends. He was so excited to see them and talked about it all week. He is actually pretty sick right now. He has croup and a high fever. But even being sick he is still really sweet. He is seeming so much older in the last couple of weeks.

Most of it I still don't understand, but he says it with so much 
convicion that I just know he means something. This morning he came up to me and said "Mom!" (He always says that really loud. I think he worries I won't hear him if he doesn't yell it!) "Acha boobee" and then he walked over to the TV, turned it on, and started grabing for the DVD's. So I put 2 and 2 together and realized that the translation of "acha boobee" is "watch a movie. " Lincon thinks life is wasted if he is not outside, playing with trains or eating. He is almost as big as Theron and likes to exert his presence. He loves Grant and calls him Guy. He'll walk around the house yelling "Guy Guy" trying to find Grant while he is at school. He loves to tackle Guy and give him hugs. And Lincon is the only one who can get hugs from Guy on a regular basis. The rest of us would have to tackle him down first.

Stephen is working for the Post Office and really likes it there. He
is one of the fastes Keyers and the only people faster than him have worked there for 10 years or more. He is a freaky fast typer. He also just finished his worst season of Fantasy Basket Ball. He just had too much going on at the begining of the season. By the time he had a chance to work on his team it was not salvagable. We haven't gotten a chance to play any tennis yet this spring and I know we are both a little ansy to get out! But he is keeping in shape with his daily WWF wrestling matches with the boys. Doing battles with Dad is a favorite past time in our house. Grant is in charge of strategy. All of his plans involve sending in Theron as the distraction and then coming in and throwing some cheap shots and getting back out before the retaliation occurs.

I am loving the fresh air and space out here! It is so nice to have space for the kids. It is a little far to get anywhere, but it is worth it. I am going to Dallas next week for the Inner Circle Weekend for Mary Kay. The Inner Circle National Sales directors get together to do a weekend training event. They are the top people in all of Mary Kay and they each get to bring 5 of their directors with them. I am so excited to get all of that training from the best of the best! I have been staying up way too late to read! It seems like it is the only chance I get to read, but I have read some really good books lately.
Here are some books I have read in the past year.
1. Great Expectations
2. Oliver Twist
3. All of the Twilight books twice
4. All of the Harry Potter books
5. Anne of Green Gables
6. Anne of Avonlea
7. Anne of the Island
8. Anne of Windy Poplar
9. All of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books (okay so that one is embarassing, but it is true)
10. Pride and Predjudice
I think there were some others, but I can't think of them right now. If anyone has some suggestions I am open to it because I am just now deciding what to read next.
