The course life takes is never known

Well I thought since I have a few minutes I should give everyone an update! My sister from New York with two little boys will be moving here as soon as their house sells!!! This is a complete shock to the family as she said she would never move to Utah.... but due to the economy in New York and her financial situation this is the best option for her ans her family!!!! Hopefully all goes well in selling the house.... my mom takes care of the boys everyday so hearing this news was a very sad and devastating thing. She knows it is best but has helped raise the boys and feels like she is losing them. I am so glad this my sister decided to move here as it is hard for me to be away from my family.
As for us Ethan has had a terrible ear infection and just cries with pain all the time.... he is on antibiotics and is starting to feel better, and yes many sleepovers on the couch together did occur.(lol) He is getting so big and goes to the doctor next week for his 6 month checkup!!! I can not believe he is that old I feel like he is still a newborn!! He has been such a blessing in our life.
Dan has recently decided to purchase a t.v. We went and bought the stand last night and will be getting our 54" plasma this week.... who really needs a t.v that big will never make sense! He still is enjoying his job and doing great
As for me so much is happening. Mindy and i are starting to go to the gym together twice a wekk along with that Cambric and i are going to cycling class which is such a killer work out. Hopefully with going to the gym and dieting I will be able to lose weight! My end goal is to be about 60 lbs. lighter I know it will be a lot of work but I am prepared! School is going good just so much to and no time to do it. Dan and I got called to teach CTR7 together so this will be a new experience for the both of us. Life is good and we are loving being a family and enjoying all the time we get to spend together.

Wow are we busy!

I just started school about a week ago and man is it a lot of work. I am taking Anatomy and Physiology, and Foundations of human nutrition online. I am then going to class Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and taking Social Promotion, Women's Health Issues, Ethics and Values and Modifying Health Behavior. I will literally be doing homework all day and night. Luckily Ethan takes a good nap which will give me time to do things.

Ethan is really getting big. He now weighs about 16 pounds and is 26 or so inches long. He loves to roll all over the house and is starting to learn to crawl. He pulls his legs under him and pushes himself forward but still can't figure it all out. He is also eating baby foods and loves all the fruit ones. He eats the whole container and I am sure if I let him he would eat more. He is still happy as ever and is a great sleeper at nights. He also is ticklish and laughs when you change his clothes. He has been so fun to have around. He loves the sounds thing make so I put him in this cereal box and he loved scratching it with his nails to hear the sounds.
