Some exciting things...and not so exciting things

Well, We've had a big week! I'm not sure where to even start.

I have been working A LOT!!!! I am worn out and tired and so excited to finally have my weekends and evenings back!

Cameron has had a big week too, are you ready? He learned three signs to help him communicate better, learned three new words, spent three hours in the ER, had his first set of x-rays, had his first sprained ankle and is almost potty trained!!!! Busy, busy week for a busy, busy boy.

First let me explain the sprained ankle, x-ray's and ER. We learned the trampoline lesson early!!!!! He DID NOT fall off! He did however get hurt, not sure how...he was on with Caleb, Jared and Dallin and all of a sudden started screaming. His foot turned purple and was swelling fast. I took him to the ER to make sure it wasn't broken, thank goodness it wasn't. Of course they x-rayed his whole leg, hip down. The doctor didn't see anything, called it a sprain and told me not to let him walk on it for a couple of days. Not that he would have anyways, he has refused to walk on it. Today, two days later, he has started to walk again, he has the cutest little limp still though and really favors it when just standing still.

Three signs and three words: signs- potty, all done and help; words- scoop, help, the noise of a chicken (yes, we consider it a words, we take what we can get!!!)

POTTY TRAINING!!!!! Finally! Cole was the one who really started this again! Before we moved I had Cameron going number 2 on the potty chair, after we moved I let it go! So, we have started again and are having success! I may even curse myself and take Mr. Monkey to church in big boy undies tomorrow! He has been wearing big boy undies for 3 days now and has had 2 accidents, odds are in my favor! He even wore big boy undies during nap today and woke up dry! I know I am bragging and getting my hopes up, but I'm a happy mommy!

Cole is on spring break!

There you have it!

Our Valentines Day

Our Valentines Day was spent moving and fighting. Don't you hate that? I had everything organized for easy transport....everything in here goes to the farm everything in there goes to storage.....yeah....it didn't work like that. Cole wanted everything he wanted and nothing else. But, honey, we need this stuff too....it's fine, Amber, we will come and get it later....well we just got it and it's been 3 weeks.

Anyhow, My husband surprised me the week before Valentines Day with a romantic night away. We left Cameron and Grandma and stayed at the beautiful Ashland Springs Hotel in Ashland. Thanks to Autumn and Jared Doshier for the wonderful room, and for the company. Us married folk aren't sure what to do with our selves when we are alone so we invited Autumn and Jared up for some Wii and laughter. We went to Standing Stone Brewery and had a wonderful late night dinner and some yummy Ginger Ale. I had the best nights sleep that night in a really long time and although we were only gone for 12 hours I was relaxed and refreshed. Thanks Emily and Shelby for keeping Cameron and Grandma (it was our first time leaving Cameron over night, I've left before and so has Cole but not both of us). And thanks Cole for listening and planning and being you! I appreciate all that you do for Cameron and I!

A new month already???

Can you believe it's March? Spring is right around the corner. I love spring! Lots of updates and good news so here we go!


Cameron: Is as cute as can be still!I know I'm partial and I hate bragging but there are moment throughout the day that I think to myself you are way too stinkin' cute, little man! And that's just what he is, a little man. We stayed a the Schultz family's home this past week with their four kids while mom and dad went on a mini vacation. We as a family got our exercise everyday with a two story house and the flight of stairs you have to take every time you go upstairs and downstairs, Cameron was a pro by the end. He would start at the bottom and count two, four, two, four, two, four....it was pretty darn cute and then he would start over once he was to the top and count four, two, four, two, two, four (yes, sometimes he'd get mixed up and repeat himself). He's had a nasty little cough for a week and a half. And yes, we are trying to teach him some new numbers I think one and three will be next.


Cole is good. He had an exciting week last week. His welding instructor asked if he'd like to be his assistant for the next three or so terms! Yay!!! Cole is psyched and can't wait for next term to start, only three weeks.


I am exhausted! With four extra kids for five days, and all of the running around that entails it was a long weekend. However they are incredible kids with incredible parents. we were honored to be able to stay with this family and get to know them better. I am now employed. I had my second day of work this morning. I work mornings 5 AM (yikes!!!) to noon or so. It works perfectly with Cole's school schedule, no babysitter required! I am fighting allergies and a sinus infection, with that comes a nasty headache and icky ears. I am holding up though.

Things are good with this section of the Henderson family. We are looking forward to being home, stake conference (Elder L. Tom Perry is coming to speak at our stake conference this Saturday and Sunday, Yay!), spring and most of all---the money that comes from both Cole and I being employed, Yipee!

I will try to be better about posting, life got away from me for a while and I'm excited for things to slow down.
