It's Official

So we have been debating on moving again because this place is kinda scary that we are living at right now. We found a place just down the street that is about the same amount, which is nice.
Reason's for Leaving:
First someone stole a hubcap from one of our car tires. Then they stole a lug nut as well from our car after I had replaced them. I think maybe they had tried to steal them before because I had to get all of the lug nuts replaced because they were all stripped but that could have been anyone...next Kandie was fussing one morning. It was pretty bad I must admit, she was crying for 30 minutes and some neighbor came pounding on our door to tell me to make my baby stop crying. Ya that made me feel good inside... Let's just face I don't care about the neighbor it makes me want to let Kandie cry some more because they party all the time all night long, but I don't want to replace anything else on our car. We've already spent $120 to replace all the lug nuts and and extra $30 for the hubcap. This other place has a garage so I won't have to check on the car every time I wake up to feed Kandie and it has a washer and dryer in the apartment that I won't have to share or get quarters to pay for it. Yipee!!! Lets face it I am excited!!!

Hopefully we will be able to move in before December. Our move out date is officially December 5th but I think we'll be able to move out the last week of this month. Hooray!!!

Here's some updated pics on the girls:

Grandma Shaffer got us some new dresses


KD let me use her chair for her if I take good care of it



We had fun painting our faces. Myra even painted mine. Good Halloween clearance sales!!!

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween this year. I made Myra's costume and we had Kandie dress up in Myra's old costume. I was a pig and Mason a Rooster. When Myra saw us in our animal outfits she changed her mind and wanted to be a pig with us so we changed her outfit and she was a pig with me. Good thing her outfit fit her from last year. We went to a couple of houses and decided to go home early because every time we got candy from a house Myra would cry because she couldn't have any right then. So...I'm sure you can just imagine the frustration.
We went home and watched Switched at Birth...Kathy and Darin got us hooked. There are only 10 episodes so it won't take us long to finish. As a matter of fact I think we only have 3 episodes left and we started Saturday night. FUNSTUFF!!!

I'm makin' cheese

What a Weekend

This weekend, my dear grandma Lois passed: She lived to be 90 years old, lived a fulfilling life. She was a school teacher, mother, grandmother, missionary, and was known for her service. Such a great example to me and others in her life.



Daniel Busick, still young in life, yet having a significant influence on those who knew him, just graduated from high school, was in a freak accident on his way to Utah this weekend. He remains in a coma with his family by his side. The Busick family is in our prayers and thoughts. We love them and hope the best for them.



I feel a little overwhelmed right now, if I can just remember the Lord is the Gardener here, he knows what is best for all of us however difficult it may seem.

On a much happier note, our good friends the Elgueda's welcomed another healthy girl into their lives, Elsie Jane. We are thrilled for them and can't wait to see them all again soon!

A hard day at work

Myra has been potty training that is why she has no pants on. But she has been pretty cute lately. I can't stop myself from laughing when she get's frustrated. She tells me not to touch the TV or tells me she'll be right back. In the process of her saying this she is waving her hand in front of her like off from Dora the Explorer when they tell Swiper not to swipe. Is it bad that I laugh at her?
The other day she helped me vacuum, I think she has been wanting to do that for a while but was scarred of the noise. She finally built herself up and can now vacuum our floor. Need to train them while they're young right? She also has loved getting into my jewelry box and wearing my necklaces. I need to put that up higher even though I thought that my dresser was higher. That is okay though.

Yesterday I noticed she was quiet so I went looking for her and found her on the bathroom sink putting eyeliner in between her eyes, blush on her cheeks and whatever else she could get her hands onto. I am just glad I don't wear lipstick... She also had her rubber bands on her thumb cutting off the circulation, so her thumb was dark purple by the time I got them all off.
She is learning so fast and is always trying to do things that I do (including putting eyeliner in between my eyes...jk) I better whip into shape and start doing the right things because I know I have a little girl always watching me.

Rock Star

I was taking picture of Kandie and she automatically did this. I was beginning to wonder if she was doing it to impress her aunts Kathy and Karey because those are the only people I know that do this a lot. Hum...

Blessings in our lives

Potty training has been going better. Myra hasn't had any accident for 4 days now. She is so funny. When she has to go she runs into the bathroom. When she is finished she comes out yelling "Mommy I went potty potty potty!!!" She get's so excited.
I have been able to see some of the blessings in our lives. So we have been searching and searching for a house to get. We have probably put in almost 50 offers on houses and we finally got accepted to one. Well we went and took a look at it and after 2 hours of looking and talking about it we both talked ourselves out of it. The numbers weren't adding up and it just wasn't a good house. Mason had met with a different lender and found out that the price range we have is actually a lot lower than what other lender's had said. So I am really glad that we didn't get accepted to any other house because it would have been a mess to deal with once we found out our actual price range. So it has actually been a blessing to not get a house yet.
Updates with Kandie and Myra: They are both growing up so fast. Kandie is almost sitting up, I have noticed Myra is getting taller because a lot of her dresses are above her knees. They are so cute together. Kandie just loves Myra to death. She is always laughing at her, even when Myra is in trouble. It is kinda hard to be serious though while Kandie is laughing at Myra, but I don't mind too much ;)
