Last weekend Madison offhandedly said, "I love hanging out with you, Mom." Not only did it make me smile, I was happy to hear her say it. I can't believe she even thinks something like that, let alone says it. It was quite a compliment. I am so glad. She is my little best friend.
We are planning to have everyone move to St. George in February. I am so excited. It's really only six weeks away. I know that will go by fast. I will be glad when I don't have to borrow cars anymore. Travis has let me use his truck for so long. Kim and Jake let me use my old truck for 3 weeks, which was so nice. I didn't worry about it breaking down. Of course, I don't think I drive more than 50 miles a week so I don't have to put a lot of miles on the vehicle. Travis' truck needs some serious work, so I just hope that I can make it last long enough to get Brant here. It was fun driving my old blue truck for awhile. It brought back lots of old memories. I loved buying that truck. It was the first vehicle I ever chose with exactly what I wanted at the time.
Unfortunately, Jake had to give his company truck back and can't use it to drive from home to work anymore. His boss said that it cost too much in gas for him to drive it back and forth. I guess the economy is hitting everyone hard when you have to pinch every penny and a few miles of gas is making that much of a difference. I am so lucky I have had family to help me out, because I haven't even had a car to worry about the gas part of it. I miss my little truck. Oh well, at least it went to a good home and it will get driven everyday. :) I guess it's just a vehicle and not a family pet. I shouldn't be so sentimental.
In other news...Porter started sleeping through the night without diapers. Yeah! What a victory. He has had one accident, but that's bound to happen. We down to one diaper baby. Three was a lot!
My sister Kim is expecting her baby any day. I am so excited for them and so glad they are having a little boy. It's a ton-a-fun to have boys and girls. What little miracles they are.
I am looking forward to Christmas. I get five days off. I am buying the pajamas stocking stuff and Brant's buying the toys. I love how excited the twins are about Christmas this year.

If it helps, I am WAY sentimental about my vehicles too. So excited you will all be able to be in the same place soon. Your kids are so cute - I love reading your blog! Hope you have a wonderful holiday!
In my mind I was thinking that truck was yours. Maybe it's because I'm not around everyone so I still picture it being yours. I forgot that Dad bought it from you and then gave it to Kim. If you wouldn't have posted this I would still be thinking you and Brant were driving it.
Madi has the cutest sayings. You are at a good stage right now with your kids. This time in my opinion for the next few years are the BEST. I think it's the funnest age...3-5. They are old enough to take care of themselves and yet they are so young still that they super sweet and innocent.
I am sentimental about vehicles too. I literally cried the night we sold the Saturn,
It was a sad day when we got rid of my Saturn. I still miss it. I will always think of you in that truck.
