Bowling

Last Monday night we went bowling. We hadn't been since Conner was still in an infant car seat. We had so much fun watching the kids and Kaily won. Clint came in second, Conner came in third and I came in 4th. The kids were SO excited to bowl and we all had fun, even if I lost to my kids. =)

A quick update

Here we are at the END of March. Seriously where did this month go? I feel like the last 3 months have flown by! Clint has 3 more weeks of school before finals and then he'll start Summer semester the end of June. Kaily had Kindergarten round up yesterday where she got to meet the two K teachers. I liked them both and think she'll be just fine there. Conner has been busy and a trouble maker. Clint and I are still training for the SLC half in April and I hope to be able to run most of it. I just need to remember to stay hydrated. We had a Dr. appointment the other day and the baby is doing great. It's a little wiggle worm, so much so that we were able to see both arms, hands, legs and feet. We even saw the little profile. It seems so strange to me that this little person who is only 1 1/2 inches long already has all of these things. The heart sounded great, 169 bpm, very normal.

Thanks for all the comments about the car situation. We have decided to go with a van, now we just have to decide what van we can afford. if anyone has ideaas let me know.

The last thing to update is that I am back from FB, probably for good. I've quit all the things I used to do on there that kept me away from other things that I love to do. It felt dumb that it was hard to quit those things, but it was so easy to do. I really feel like the last few months I've been waisting a lot of time. I feel a little liberated now that I'm not tied to those applications. So look forward to more posts on here.

Relaxing Sunday

Today was quite relaxing. I was supper tired and not feeling great after church and Kaily was really ornery so she cuddled up on my lap and we fell asleep while Clint was out. Conner was asleep in his bed or I'm sure he would have been on my lap too. He hates sharing me. After a long nap and a great dinner we took the kids to the park. They LOVE going to the park and they always have so much fun. Kaily is trying her skills crossing the monkey bars and Conner is just being his crazy self.

Needing a New Car.

Because we have a baby on the way and our current car will be lucky to make it through the summer we are in need of a new vehicle. We are looking for a vehicle with a 3rd row. This doesn't limit us to just mini vans. So here's my question, what car do you like to use as a family car. I need the make and model as well as a reason why you like this vehicle?

Please leave all info in comments. I'm really just looking for some options and what others have liked. Thanks for your help.

What's new?

The daily events of the Willis family is pretty much the same thing day in and day out, thus the absent entries of my blog. We are getting ready for a great Spring Break in a couple weeks and then Clint has 4 weeks left of the semester. Kaily is loving school and is reading really well. She is sounding out new words everyday. She is developing a love for it, and I am SO happy that she is. Conner is, well he's 2, so he keeps us busy just being himself. He has new likes and dislikes every week. Lately his fascination has been Tinker Bell, if you ask him why he'll tell you she's cute.

Clint and I are getting ready to run the SLC half in April, the day after his classes end. I'm excited to be running it and a bit nervous. I've been really sick this past month with a cold and other things so I haven't been able to really train like I wanted to. Which brings me to my next piece of news. In October we will be joined by a new member to our little family. It was a surprise and now that we are over the initial shock of it all we are excited. Kaily is the MOST excited I should say. She is thinking of names already.

Our next bit of news is about the Ogden Temple. If you haven't heard yet, the temple will be shut down for a two year renovation. For those who don't know Clint works at the Temple. We are waiting to see what this all means for us. In the mean time we know construction is scheduled to start tentatively the end of this year. HR will be meeting with Clint sometime soon, we hope, to explain the options they would like to give us. I'm not nervous or worried about any of it though. I know the Lord has a plan for us and I know that we will go wherever we need to go. Things will wk out, they always do.

WOW, this ended up being way longer than I anticipated.
