Another update from the three of us

I guess I should do another update, even though not much has happened.

Tevan continues to amaze me. He crawls, moves around and climbs on things. I shouldn't be suprised I guess...he tries something and goes for it. His second tooth is still trying to break all the way through, and the first is just fine. He is eating big people food now and today had pancakes for the first time. He loved them.

Daeson is ready to come home. He cries for Troy and is wanting to be in Idaho Falls. He misses his friends, but made a new one yesterday at church. His name is Johnny Vannoy. He is a cute boy and a fun friend for Daeson.
I also met a friend yesterday at church. Her name is Cody Farmer. She is my age and is absolutely amazing. She has five children ages nine to 3 mo. What an amazing woman she is!!!!!! I guess she really got me thinking about a lot. I look at other moms and constantly compare myself to them. I am a woman and that is what we do. As I talked to Cody...I spent most of my time in the mother's room with Tevan...I asked her how she did it all. She seemed so organized and together. Her husband goes to school in Lewiston and stays there all week. So she is home with her children (5) by herself Monday thru Thursday night. She has so much to do. They live on a little farm and I am sure she has things to help with that as well as take care of her children. She was an inspiration to me. She admitted to not having her laundry folded and on some nights giving her kids corndogs for dinner, but otherwise she was very put together. I look at my life and I think I often use motherhood as an out. I use it for my excuse as to why things are so hard. But, no more. Yesterday morning I didn't want to go to church because I spend most of the time in the mother's room, but I am so glad I did yesterday. I was inspired. Not by what was said in the meetings, but what was said to me in the mother's lounge as I listened closely to this amazing mother. I decided I am no longer going to make excuses, I am going to try not to complain, and I am going to be the woman I was sent to Earth to be. I am going to bump it up a notch ( or two) and just do it!! I am a woman and I have the strenght to pull it off...it being life. I can do this. I know I can.

Now that I have pep talked myself, I will close. We miss you all and we are so ready to come home. Troy has been staying busy, and I am sad he will be really busy when we get home, but we miss him soooo sooo much. I am ready to be home.
