Months of Craziness in a Nutshell

I realized there are some things I haven't blogged about. Some not blog worthy and others definitely!!! There really is no Readers Digest version so sit down and relax. :)

Taylor- see post that I had to backdate to November of 2009 for record-keeping sake. What a fabulous blogger I am!!

Tay is getting so big on me. He is growing up into a young man and it frightens me. (Don't tell him I said anything, but he's got a very small mustache trying to surface!) No way am I old enough for this. He thinks he's so funny because it won't be much longer and he's going to be taller than me. He's certainly not my little boy anymore! He loves hanging out with friends, going to mutual, having sleepovers, and I can't forget tormenting his sisters to no end.

Hollie- My sweet Hollie has had some challenges lately that we're really trying to work with. It's been and continues to be some stressful & emotionally exhausting times, but at the end of the day she is still my same sweet caring girl whom I love so very much!

She loves playing with her friends and Kami and is very ready for Spring weather so she can get out and play! She was recently awarded 'Student of the Month' at her school and I'm so proud of her! She got her picture taken for the Box Elder News Journal along with a certificate signed by the principal and a certificate for a free kids meal at Burger King!

Kambri- Wow I'm quite behind with updates for Kami! She was potty trained shortly before her birthday! Yay, no more diapers for us ever again!!!! Just after Christmas we moved her from the crib to a toddler bed. (Yes, I realize she was plenty old for it. But I have this thing with not taking them out a minute earlier than necessary! It boils down to the fact that all control feels lost with bedtime, but she's been excellent since Day 1. *See other blog for bed pictures*)

She talks a ton now and it seems crazy to think there were many days that we were so worried with her speech.

Our Family- The Bess children are being force-fed a new discipline & responsibilities program. Time will tell how the results are coming, but so far we are on the right road and are showing some signs of improvement. All I have to say on that note is that kids are super hard and I should've had a 'Master Plan' of what our disciplining was going to look like. Once the kids got old enough to need discipline we were quite late getting that ball a rolling so we're now trying to do some clean-up work!

Shaun has been working on his 'man cave'. (Pictures still to come along with a bazillion other things.) He will begin some additional training with the fire department next week which will continue for a month. This month with having him home at nights has gone by so quickly, and I'm really dreading him being gone again. But we will manage, it's only a month, right?!

We are trying to get some projects done and now that it's more like Spring weather we're working more outdoors.

Other than that, we're just keeping plenty busy with day-to-day life!!
