Family is the best

I still have quite a few things I need to post that have been long overdue, but I'm just going to post that we're here in Wyoming and we're loving it! The kids are constantly entertained by Nana and Papa and all their aunts and uncles. And I get a little bit of a break. Ah! It's so wonderful. We went bowling for my brother Kennan's 13th birthday. It was Lilli's first time bowling and she had such a great time. She did about as good as the rest of us. I told my parents to buy the game Quelf and boy are we glad they did! We've had so much fun playing! Lots of laughs during that game! My parents remodeled their home and it's so big now. The kids have tons of room to run around and play. We have the whole downstairs to ourselves and it's really nice.

We just found out that Lilli is #1 on the waiting list for the Pre-K program at one of the local elementary schools there in Georgia, so I've heard that our chances of getting in are very good. Here's praying! She'll be attending next fall and will be riding the bus. Is my baby girl really old enough to go to school!?!?!? She's still just a chatter-box and is still quite social. She talk to anybody anywhere, and people love her here in Cokeville. Last week was our first Sunday in the ward here and she told everyone she remembers what Heaven was like and the answer to every questions is Heavenly Father. She's a hoot!

Alex is a bruiser! He LOVES to wrestle. It doesn't matter who it's with, if you're on the floor he's charging after you ready to attack. It's hilarious! He's still a big boy. He's not quite walking yet by himself, but he walks holding on to one finger. I know he can do it, he just chooses not to.

Aidan is a full fledged walker! That's all he does and he's getting to be quite a pro. We're still dealing with weight, iron, and hemoglobin issues. We saw a hemotologist (blood specialist) before we left and his iron was really low, as was his hemoglobin. She wants us to see her when we get back. I'm pretty sure he's gaining weight ok. Everyone says he's getting chubbier in the face. That's a good sign. He's a little more reserved than his brother and doesn't like to get in the middle of all the wrestling, but he LOVES to watch.

Ben is STILL in Mississippi. He's not flying or doing anything, and hasn't for about 3 weeks. We're hoping he starts up again this Friday so he can just go and come back. While my mom was here, Ben and I were able to meet halfway between Augusta and Miss for a night. It was so fun and I was so sad to leave him one last time. Goodbyes are the worst! We're so proud of him and all that's he's doing for his country and for us!

We're hoping to see Ben's family while we're out here. We love being around family! Though I miss my friends in Georgia. They were so wonderful and helpful. They really made those 3 months go by fast, but I'm loving being here and going to enjoy every last minute of it. I'll TRY to be more diligent in posting, but don't count on it.
