Finally Settled




This week has been crazy, but I finally feel like I have things mostly under control. For starters, on Monday Makenna went to her first day of preschool. She was a little nervous, but she came home saying nothing but great things about Bobbi Brown her teacher. However, the con to her growing up is now she thinks she went from a little girl to a big girl over night. She gets the juice out of the fridge and a cup then pours her own juice; also, she climbs on a chair so she can change the DVD's herself and push play. She refuses to have me help her with anything unless she is so frustrated she is crying. I am starting to miss my little girl already. With Makenna away for 2 hours Autumn and I get to spend some quality bonding time which is nice. I love playing with her she already does make believe and talks incredibly well if your her mom and can understand her!! I thought she would soak up all the attention, but only after 1 hour of Makenna being gone she started asking where's kenna? She loves her sister!!! Secondly, that night I went back to work for the first time in 5 years!!! Yikes, it was actually really fun. I am teaching dance twice a week for 3 hours each night. I have to admit I was nervous, but the girls were all really sweet and I had a lot of fun getting back into the swing of dancing. Then, on Thursday Makenna started her first dance/tumbling class on Thursday with Josie and Tami as her teachers I think she likes it so far. She is always shy when she first starts something. So life was moving smoothly until that night after I taught dance I came home and started vomiting. The other dance teacher had the stomach flu and I am assuming I caught it from her. I threw up every 2 hours for nearly 24 hours. It was aweful! Thank goodness for a loving mom who came and got the girls. I was lying on the bathroom floor when she showed up to find them dancing on the table and spilled juice everywhere. After she took the girls I slept and and had an entire day to lye on the couch and have nothing to do. To bad I was sick!!! But now that I am back to health and it is Saturday we are soooooo excited to watch a BYU football game, Go Cougars!!!! We are having our cousins, Troy and Emily, over we just wish that Jon was here to enjoy it with us. Only one more week until vacation time for him!!!! Love Ya Jon

You are lucky you have your mom around to help. I will have no one other than friends for the next three years-crazy huh? Anyway, that's great that you are teaching dance. I bet that you are really good at it:)
