So it's been a really long time since I posted anything, perhaps it's becuase I have no computer at home. I have to wait til I get to work so no pictures either. Lots has happened in the last eight months. The kids have gotten bigger and have so much energy especially Rozalyn. Rozalyn is now three but she looks like she is four. Jonah is 1 1/2 and babbles a lot. In April we moved to Ivins has most of you know. The first week we were out there it took some getting use to the drive. I was late for work everyday becuase it's not a five min drive anymore. We like it here in Ivins and the neighborhood we live in. John is doing summer classes through USU online and for now he is behind. He has started a new job selling fertilizer as a independent contractor. I guess it is going well. He was sad that he had to give landscaping but physically he couldn't do it anymore after the accident. But he likes the job he has now. I have returned back to work, working part time has a teller and it has it's ups and downs. I like having the break from the kids and I'm sure they like having the break from me too. I like the people I work with in the teller area and it's nice earning some money but sad that I don't get to keep any of it. At least not yet. We have no plans for the summer just work and hanging out and trying to stay out of the st. george heat.

Wow how time flys

It's been quite awhile since I have posted anything on the blog so I will try and catch you up a bit. Well I have no internet at home so there won't be any pictures on this post because I am borrowing this computer. Lets see....Jonah had a birthday he turned one on October 2nd and lucky me I turn older too on the same day. I can't believe how fast time goes. Last year around this time we were in Michigan waiting for Jonah to get cleared from the hospital and now here we are and he is already one.

Jonah's adopted finalized in July and we were so happy. It took long enough, Michigan seems to like taking their time on stuff like this. There was one time I called our social worker just to see how much longer things would take and when we would get the order of adoption. She told me it's summer time and the judges and the clerks take vacation so it might take a little longer. It seems to me that everyone takes vacation all year long because that is how it was with Rozalyn too and we were there a different time of year. Go Michigan. All in all it's finished.
We decided to bless and seal Jonah in September which was nice to have that done with also and make him a part of the family forever. It was really nice to have family there also.

Well that about sums it up. We don't lead a fun life at the moment so it's a short post but hopefully next time I will be able to have pictures.

Hogle Zoo

this wasn't at the zoo but we stopped at a park on the way home.

Jonah liked the swing
I don't know, do you think he is
having fun?

This elephant spit water of of his nose

Rozalyn thought that was funny

So last Friday we went up to the Hogle Zoo because we thought Rozalyn would like it. It was a very hot day and being "black"and all I just absorbed the sun but it was fun anyway. Despite the fact that I have no pictures of Rozalyn by any real animals does not mean we didn't go. The few that I have of course she is not looking at the camera and it is always of the back of her head. She kept talking about all the animals she would see at the zoo three days before we went and then when we got there she only spent like two seconds there and then wanted to leave. I guess that's what you get from a 2 1/2 year old. Although he didn't say much Jonah had a good time too. It was nice to get out of town for a bit and spend time with my little family even though the kids hated their car seats and cried more the usual, I might do it again.

Cute kids!
Very rarely do I get both my kids together for a picture.
Rozalyn is always on the go.

Having fun in the rain.

Just chillin.

Rozalyn thought is was pretty cool to have an umbrella.

Mmm...Yummy

Rozalyn enjoying a good morning breakfast with her box of life and watching some cartoons.

Mmmm....so good!

Having some fun

I decided to give Jonah a pickle just to see if he liked it.
I think he liked it despite the face he is pulling.

What a cute little baseball player.

I think it's the hat that makes her look so cute.

She was pointing at plane

John decided to go and buy Rozalyn a tee ball set because she has been talking about baseball for awhile, so here's a little video of her. I think she is pretty good not to mention being so cute while doing it.

Trying the potty training thing

Yesterday I decided to try big girl underwear on Rozalyn hoping to maybe start potty training. We have every once in a while put Rozalyn on the potty to see what would happen and nothing became of it so I really didn't push it that much. So a few days ago I went and bought her underwear. I even let her pick them out, you know make her feel like a big girl. So Yesterday afternoon after nap time I decided to put them on her and let her run around in the backard. I kept telling her that if she needed to go potty to let me know. Well that didn't work so well because fifteen minutes she pooped in them. So I changed her and put new underwear on her and everyhour took into the bathroom and set her on the potty and she actually went. I was so excited for her that she went pee pee in the potty. I also told her each time she went in the potty she could have two m&m's so that was kind of an insentive. She did really well for about four hours and then she was sitting on John's lap outside and it was almost her bedtime so I was waiting to take her potty one last time. I guess i waited to long and john had asked me to take her before that but I didn't and she peed on John. A big pee pee. I just laughed because it was all down his side and got on his phone and on his big chair. He wasn't to thrilled that I was laughing at him but perhaps he deserved it. So maybe instead of big girl underwear right away I will get some pull-ups and try those first until she is completely potty trained. My baby girl is growing up to fast but at the same time I am ready for her to be out of diapers. Two kids in diapers kind of gets expensive.
