Christmas Letter

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope all is going well with everyone. We are doing great. We have our tree up and presents everywhere. Indianna is very excited to open them, but she is a good little girl and hasn't opened any on her own... yet.

Indianna is doing really well with the potty training thing. She knows when she needs to go and does her best to tell us when that time is, however sometimes we don't pay enough attention and fail to let her use the potty. She gets pretty upset about it, but hasn't started using actual words to tell us. I think that one of these days she will want to tell us something bad enough to tell us about it in words.

Maylin is also doing well. She is all smiles, slobbering and talking (jibberish). Everyone says that she is the best baby they have ever seen. Karlie and I feel very blessed that we could have two beautiful good little girls to give us some excitment.

Karlie is being a good mom to the three of us and does a very good job of taking care of us. She recently had a chocolate making get together with her sister and sister-in-law (McKenzie and Trisha). The chocolate was really good and helped me gain around 8 pounds. She also has four plates of them still sitting here that has set aside for visiting teaching (they might not be there for very much longer...mmm...)

I have been enjoying learning many things at work. My current trainer will be going to a training course for a couple of months and will be leaving me to fend for myself and all of the AF tires. Hopefully I won't have too many problems with getting things done. A couple of days ago I got to test out our snowblower. It was so amazingly fast and easy compared to shoveling that I am trying to figure out why I didn't save up for one years ago.

We just want to let you know that we are greatful for our Savior Jesus Christ. We know that his sacrifices through love and obedience have prepared a way for families to be together forever. We know that his perfect example and teachings can help us have a full and happy life. We have a strong testimony of the Atonement and the healing powers that it offers. We know that Heavenly Father loves us and has given us his son so that we can be happy. At this time of year we hope that everyone remembers Christs birth and makes an effort to give back by finding a way to bless the lives of others.

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Potty Training

We are at it again! AND, I think we are back to where we left off. Indianna has gone on the potty twice in the past week and one of the times she told us she had to go. BUT, now she likes to go every 5 minutes. We bought big girl panties over the weekend and yesterday Indie wouldn't put on her diaper. She wanted her big girl panties. I told her that if I put them on her, she HAD to go on the potty. Well, she didn't go in her panties, but she didn't go on the potty either. She ran to the potty every 5 minutes. Finally at nap time, I switched her over to a diaper. Does anyone have any new ideas for me? She loves sitting on the potty and playing with stickers. I switched her over from candy to stickers.
