Since I'm pretty much terrible at updating!! I'm at work and it is a really slow night so I think that I'll just type you all a note since no one actually reads this but I should have it for yours truly anyhow!! life is crazy now but wonderful I'm trying to figure out how things can get more crazy then they already are but I'm sure they can so I'm not complaining!! the london life's largest changes are: Mark getting put in as first counselor in the bishopbric so now I'm what we call a bench widow!!! I'm thinking I'm going to wait to have any more kids until he is released!! Soo I guess I'm done having kids ha ha!! I'm way proud of him for being worthy to hold such a calling and this calling even makes him in even more of a hurry to move back to utah so that he doesnt get put in as bishop. And for the bench widow my toy bag is just about to burst at the seams with my childrens attention span getting through sacrement without loosing it is .... difficult! oh well live and learn.
But because I'm such a wonderful sain person Mark and I our treating ourselves to a mexican cruise and we leave in 3 weeks for 7 nights!!!! ahh I cant hardly wait. Thanks to my mom for watching kids and our friends that are coming with us it sould be a good time.
Kensi was getting easier as a child for a while then lately has started getting worse going back to 2 year old age where she throws these fits. So we are trying to deal with that with a smile and trying to walk away from her at the grocery store wondering who does that kid belong to!! Ha ha she isnt bad all the time she is quite the little artist and I'll have to put pictures on later but the other day she drew 2 people holding hands( and these arent just stick figures) full fingers and everything. and even pictures on their shirts. I loved it. she is my little distressed artist. but still very caring and sweet.
As for avy for some reason I have a hard time getting mad at her maybe her chubby face or something. she is a very stubborn child and doesnt speak hardly at all(completely opposite from kensi) she is best at having selective hearing it works beautiful!! it all depends completely on what mom is saying to determine if she is going to listen or not!! she is my logic child. the girl can find movies or her favorite games on my phone or ipad no matter how I arrange them. and she can figure things out quickly like putting the soap in the dishwasher and starting it. (now if I could just teach her to load we would be golden) we do rescan her this week to see if her reflux is gone so hopefully it is cleared up!! and hopefully we wont have to have any more surgery!!
As for me well I really think some days I sit down at the end of the day and wonder why I just feel so tired!! I have the proplem lackofsayingnoitis. that is the disease that I have to please everyone and never turn people down if they need help cleaning or painting or need a ride a long or picking up kids or picking up food. and the list continues!! on a little more serious note there are days that I think mann I give my whole self to my kids, and I give my whole self to my friends when they need me and I give my whole self to my husband when he needs me and I give my whole self to my YW when they need me and I give my Whole self to my Patients when I'm at work and I start to wonder how many selves to I have and when will I be whole again!! then I quickly realize that by doing just what I'm doing I'm giving my whole self to him who gave his whole self to us!! and how selfish am I for feeling like i give and do so much and I want more to be done for me when I have a savior who gives all and expects very little in return!! I'm truly grateful for this time of year for the resurrection of our savior!! and I like to look at it as new beginnings!! a better outlook and a hope that I can start being a better me!! one much more like him!!

wow I think we have been forgotten!
Well it has been quite some while since we have posted so sorry for that our card reader is not the best and I'm not a very good story teller to just write hence the delay!! Things in our home are good but we did have a couple stressful weeks starting off this this little stinker.
We had surgey scheduled for the 22nd of december and because there was a large change we would still be in Mesa on christmas I asked if we could be on call if any other kiddos called in sick for surgery! and so of corse the week I called them I shortly got a call back on a wednesday afternoon that they had an opening the next day! so because we had a heathly child we decided to go for it! Surgery went well and shorter than they thought good thing!!! I can only imagine it taking longer then they thought and waiting for word. Because Cardon's hospital was short on patients they put us on the oncology floor and I tried my best to ignore the sick kids!! There was lots of worn out mothers and crying kiddos. I was truly grateful that we was only in the hospital for a little surgery!
By that night she was running and squeeling expicially when she saw kensi! she got so excited. We were able to leave the next day but the doctors wanted us to stay in Mesa if possible incase anything happened. and because of the snow in flag and a wonderful hospitible Aunt Joy we stayed until sunday. we shopped and played almost just like we were there for a visit. so I'm very grateful for an incredible hospital and really left the experience without any bad feelings!!
This picture is out of place so come back to it in a minute!!
Posing for christmas card pictures if you didnt get one and want one leave me your address and I will get you one because I have plenty so you dont have to feel left out!!
Of course Avy does everything that kensi does so they were both practicing a little ballet.
Right before Avy joined in
love this picture too bad there is the haze over it!!
Such hopeful eyes!
K so now you can refer back to the other picture. This was my summer project well like a year project it is my first quilt and it took a lot more time and money than I ever thought it would. but thanks to my mother helping me quilt it and taking it home to bind I was able to finish to give to my grandma for christmas!! Adn thanks bec for the idea and the many many phone calls to figure out what in the heck I was doing. My grandma has always made all the grandkids a quilt for their wedding and each greatgrand child a afagan and I though I dont know if anyone has ever made her a quilt so I did just that and I will let you know what she thinks after I give it to her for christmas.
Next we had Kensi's birthday and this is pretty much how she spent most of it. we had friends over and one friend gave her a huge pile of hand me down books and of corse instead of paying attention to anything else she just wanted to read that is what whe loves to do. we finally had to take them away so that she would blow out her candles.
Sorry random picture thrown in the middle this is after we were discharged from the hospital and the kids were playing on everything even though avy doesnt look happy she was very excited to leave that place!
Kensi's cake it doesnt look all that fancy but it was sooo good mark made rasberry cream cheese frosting and a twinky cake(well that is what it tasted like anyway) and it was soo good!!

AS for me really nothing just doing projects to keep me busy and I'll update pcitures of my lattest!! Kensi is keeping busy and still nice and winey! ha ha her lattest is she brought me a letter A that she had written on a piece of paper and cut out she gave it to me then said here is my letter to santa!! after that we talked about how there are different kinds of letters so now she calls it her note to santa. And Avy finally started nursery and is not sure about it nor is the leader but oh well she has to learn sometime to hangout with someone else for a while. and this sunday mark and I both got to enjoy lessons for once in a while!! well I hope that is an ok update and I'll try to do better next time.

Avy is finally one well last week she was!!
This post is all over and I apologize for that!! you would think after how long I have been blogging I would learn how to put the pictures in the right order but NOPE!! so here is Avy's first birthday all out of order and stats are... 19.1 lbs, not sure how tall but she is 45% for hight and head! she can say ma ma and dada, sleeping through the night most nights! and started walking at about 11 and a half months!! and what a mean mom am I we went in for her well baby check up only to find out that she had double ear infections!! but for all of you that know we are grateful that surgery will most likely not be until she is 18 months old instead of next month!! yeah but we will know for sure the 3rd of june!(for all that dont know she has massive reflux in her kidney and will need surgery to re insert the ureter into the bladder).
