Our happenings!

Londyn started dance two weeks ago. It was a HUGE disaster. In fact, I thought the first week was a fluke because she was sooo excited to start. So, we tried it another week. She screamed and cried the second week too.

So, we will try again in six months or so. I was bummed. She sure looked cute though.

We took the kids swimming this weekend, and they had a blast! I love how warm it still is in St. George! Dan is one of the kids when it comes to stuff like this. Me?...I'd rather sit on the side of the pool and read.

Things are going good with baby number four. I have an ultrasound this Friday, and I'm excited. Those are always fun.  I am more than halfway done, but I'm pretty darn huge. I'm pretty self conscious already about it. BAAAA. I have been asked TWICE already how close I am to my due date. It is embarrassing to say I'm only 21 weeks. I'm more emotional these days, so I'm sure I'm just being sensitive.

On a lighter note...All Things Thrifty is going soooo good! I am quite proud of Dan and I. A.T.T. exceeded 6100 readers this weekend. This is the amount of people that read the site from their e-mail. Then, I have about 3,100 different people that come to the site every day. Dan got his first "how to" phone call at his office the other day! Funny. We are keeping busy, and have a few projects in the works.

Thank heaven for Dan. One of my neighbors made the comment to me this weekend that I am lucky to have a husband like him because most husbands would NOT help their wives with projects like Dan does. I am VERY aware of how much Dan helps me, and there is no way that All Things Thrifty would be as successful with out his expertise. I'm lucky to have him to go to when I have an idea. He's REALLY good at figuring out how to make my visions a reality!

Here are a couple other highlights of what is going on right now:
*I am enjoying being home this semester, and I can honestly say that it has been a relief to not be teaching right now.
*We are in FULL Halloween mode, and have already started decorating!  YAY!
*Naming this baby might be the hardest one yet. Darn.
*Our backyard project was suppose to be started, but things haven't worked out on the money front. Having this baby is EXPENSIVE, so, we may not get done as quick as we wanted. (This is the part where I wish I would have taught classes...that extra mula would come in handy...but our lives would be mass chaos).

As always we are staying busy. Things are good, and we are very blessed. I'm looking forward to October, and it will be a busy, eventful month!

Sounds like Londyn's dance lessons went over about as well as Madelyn's swim lessons did this summer... Pure torture for all involved! Sigh. (She does look adorable, though.) :)

I am so excited that All Things Thrifty has been so successful for you. You always have the best ideas! Keep 'em coming!

Teaching classes or not, you are still one busy Mama! I love your All Things Thrifty site and maybe someday I'll attempt to try something crafty. Your family is so cute and it looks like you are always having fun. Good luck with choosing a name for baby number 4!

What a bummer the dance classes didn't work out. It's definitely NOT worth it though when they get so freaked out!!

ATT is AWESOME!! I am always so impressed with everything you guys do on it. I don't know how you have the energy to do EVERYTHING you do!! You are wonder woman!!

MAN-Londyn is a big girl now! I can't believe how different she looks from when we moved!!! So much blonde hair! I'll bet she'll start liking dance-she has to, she's your daughter ;)
Wish I were there to help you google baby names-remember helping me? Seems like you had some way cute names picked out but they were girl names I believe.
