Update

Wow! I am a slacker. My sister has asked me for weeks to update my blog. So here you go Muddy....(Don't you love it when I call you that!?)

Anyway. Life has picked up speed a little and I am now a PE Specialist at an elementary. I love it and the stories that I have to tell my family at the end of the day are precocious and hilarious. I have also learned of some interesting names. Some that I love and some that boggle my mind. Seven, Ransom, Anahi, Gentry, Trigger, and a few others made my day when I heard them. They are all such precious children and I am so blessed to be able to work with them and teach them about the benefits of being active and taking care of their bodies.

We also sold our truck and got a Scion Xb. The Scion is much more environmentally friendly. But the best thing that Richard loves about it is that the Scion has a large amount of head room and space in the interior. I love the fact that I don't have to take a running leap to get in. We got it for an awesome price, too. The title is a salvaged title but the engine is brand new and it runs great. I have had to brush up on my stick skills but other than that I am very pleased with our new cars.

Beau is growing and progressing so rapidly. He is now quite confident on his feet. He can stand up on his own and run in place, doing a baby version of "fast feet". He walks around everywhere and his favorite place to explore it the great outdoors of our front yard. Beau is also know to go and visit the neighbors. Most of the neighbors now look out their windows to see if Beau is walking by their door. He also loves to knock on doors to see if someone is home. That has caused some interesting situations. Today he biffed it on our porch stairs and now has a long scrap near his left eye and going up onto his forehead. But other than that he is as fit as can be.

The Lord in our Lives

Today is Easter Sunday as most of you know. It was so spiritually uplifting to hear some very beautiful talks in church today. President Friedli and another Brother gave some heartfelt and touching remarks today. It was amazing to be reminded of Christ and his sacrifice for us. He died that we might live and rose again to concur death. It is humbling to think of the love that he has for all of us. I love my Lord. I love my Heavenly Father. I love the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Here we go again.

Well here we go again. The Morrey family will be on its way to Wisconsin for the summer in about two weeks and we are so excited. Our friends and family constantly remark that we are always on the move and it is true. Before I married the love of my life I had moved a total of 3 times. Since I have been married it will be 6 times this summer. And we will be married for two years in August! But it has been a blast and I love meeting new people every few months. I have heard that WI is a great place to live during the summer and that the people are very nice. I am working as well this summer. Since it is an administrative job for the company that Richard works for I am able to work from home and do all of the paper work and equipment pulling form there. This allows me to have Beau there with me while I work and that is a huge blessing.

Richard

Richard went roller-blading today. He loved it! It was a bit chilly but he didn't care. Richard is such a free spirited man that the winter months are hard for him. He loves spring! This spring has been teasing Rich by giving him glorious days of 60 degree weather and then snowing the next day. I am perfectly content to sit and read a book on any day of the week but Rich can only take so much of Sports Center so he thinks of reasons to get out of the house...DI, roller-blading, and all sorts of interesting things. I love his enthusiazim for life! He infects me with joy.

Hidden Treasure's

Richard, Beau and I all went to Deseret Industries the other day to find Beau some pants that fit him. We were able to find a pair of overalls that are so darling on him, a pair of 18 month jeans that are long but fit him perfect other wise, a pair of swishy sweat pants, and a nice pair of grey church pants. I found two pairs of practically brand new jeans that fit amazingly well. Richard found a pair of skates that are normally 250 dollars and in pristine condition for only 5 dollars! His was the best find. Over all we spent 25 dollars on 6 pairs of jeans and awesome skates! DI ROCKS!!!!

A mother's bond

So I have officially stopped breastfeeding my son. It has been a momentous change in my life and I find that I miss it. When Beau first arrived in my life I remember thinking that a year was such a long time to be personally feeding my baby but now that it is over I wish that we could go linger. But it is time for him to start exploring new foods and learning the joy of well made rice and bean. I shouldn't have been surprised to find that my son loves anything that I put in front of him. He is such a wonderful baby and is always excited to try new things and explore new options.

Army Baby

So Beau had finally joined the ranks of the baby army. Lol It is true! He had been rolling around for forever and he just stared to army crawl everywhere. His little elbows pull him forward and his butt sticks up in the air and then he shoots toward his destination with the determination of a man on a mission. But this new development has caused me to keep a much closer eye on him now. One day I put Beau up on the couch and placed a mound of pillows on the ground so that when he envitably rolled off he would be safe. But he didn't stop there. We followed a trail of books to the kitchen where he was single-mindedly reaching for something that was under the stove. Since that time his new favorite stomping grounds are found in the kitchen and dinning room where many cheerio's and all of my scrapebooking supplies can be found.
