3 Down 0 to go!!!

I had a goal to accomplish by the end of the year and I am happy to report I succeeded!!! 

My first Goal was to Get Audrey potty trained. Audrey was so easy to potty train. Seriously everyone that I talk to say I was beyond blessed. This makes me nervous what my next child will be like potty training. 

My Second Goal was to get Audrey in a Toddler Bed. Audrey adjusted quite well. She is really easy to put to sleep so we made a huge deal of having a big kid bed and she bought into it

My final goal was to get rid of the bottle. I know I am way behind when it comes to this subject. However, it was so hard because the bottle is a total comfort to her. I felt like I was taking that away which was not an easy thing to do. At least Audrey sleeps in her own bed and potty trained really easy. We are still having issues with the bottle but she is almost over it... I hope. 

Audrey's Best Day!!!

This was a day that was priceless for both Audrey and I. Audrey loves trains. She gets excited when we go over train tracks just to give you an idea. I found a local train company that was running some holiday train routes and could not resist. When we pulled up to the train station Audrey was beyond excited she was yelling a train a train look Grammy a train. It was so cute she sounded like she just won the lottery. And in her little world she probably did! I will let the pictures do most of the talking...

They had carolers on the Train. They asked Audrey what her favorite song was and she told them Jingle Bells. So they gave her some bells and she sang her little heart out. 

Audrey and Santa on the Train. She LOVES Santa this year!! 

Audrey and Santa at the North Pole! (She kept pulling on his beard it was pretty funny)

Audrey and Santa at the North Pole. They had a little village for the kids to see, cut outs of snowmen and the reindeer, Milk and Cookies, Mrs. Claus dancing with the kids, a bon fire. 

What a priceless Day. When it was time to go Audrey started to Cry. She said she wanted to stay. She loved the Train. The only way I got her off was by telling her that we need to get a Christmas tree so Santa can put some presents under it for her. 

I never realized how big a train really was. It's huge!

I'm Convinced

I have finally decided that life is not going to slow down for awhile. I feel like I have a million things on my plate. Just as soon as I get one crossed off two more things get added to the list. I always tell my self when I get caught up I can call my family and chat or read other peoples blogs. I have realized that I am going to have to slow things down a little and make time for what is really important.  I am grateful for a HUGE family. I am realizing how blessed I was to live so close and now it is a little harder to see everyone. So starting Monday (just kidding I am one of those who likes everything to start on Monday) starting tomorrow, I am going to be a better daughter, wife, parent, sibling, and friend. I am really blessed. I need to not take advantage of what Heavenly Father has given me. 

Update

I finally found our housing. What a pain to say the least. I have been looking for months. I finally had a place all lined up and I drove up to rexburg with Audrey and my mom to sign a contract. I met the lady the night we got in a was suppose to meet her the next morning but she backed out. When I got the call from the last place saying that the owner decided to sell the place instead of rent I wanted to cry. I was so frustrated. I had one back up place picked out just in case but it also got rented out. So you can see the frustration. If you have been to Rexburg you know that it is a small town. There is not a whole lot to choose from which makes it all the more fun. We found a house the next day that I love. It has tons of upgrades. It is everything that I was looking for.

Things have been going good here. I have been able to get a lot of school work done which is great.

I am really missing Dennis right now. It is hard being away from him. I defiantly appreciate him alot more after being away for so long. I can't wait to see him in a week in a half. Audrey is doing great. She is really grouchy right now. She got a cold and she is someone you want to steer clear of when she is sick. Luckily she is not sick that often! I will post pictures soon. Audrey is going to see Santa tomorrow. I love this christmas season. Audrey is understanding more and more. I am excited for christmas to see the look on her face! I know this post is random. My brain is gone though, I have been staring at the computer screen all day.

My best friend from college is also staying in Rexburg for awhile which I am beyond excited about. We are actually in the same ward. Which is crazy considering how many wards there are. This was not planned it just happened.
