Here we go.

New years day we walked around the mall, played on the indoor play-place, and used our newly arranged "Entertainment" budget to get Miss Powell's Cinnamon rolls. Organizing our envelopes from last years budget I found 3 different $100 bills.  Kind of cool.  Mace got a potty for Christmas since he is Petrified of the big one. For a week he wore undies and religiously sat on little blue. Never used it but it was a start.   Since "your baby sister will need your diapers so your a big boy now and go on the potty"  Then he wakes up one day and announces "I'm a girl."  If I was a new age idiot I would say 'Ok do you want to wear a dress or pants with that' by age 5 he would identify as a girl and by 9 get a sex change.    As is I said 'No your a boy but if you want to wear a diaper today that's fine just keep it dry."  and we back off potty training for a while. 

Brody Nef arrived in the US Jan 2nd after a successful 2 year mission to Peru.  Just 3 months after BreAnn left for her mission to Virginia.   A big game hunter asked Dad to make him a Water Buffalo Gun case and Zebra Diaper Bag. My Dad can make anything out of leather.  So Talented! Axel lost his front tooth after a month of trying everything himself from string on a door, drone, Nerf gun...finally came with a cowboy hat and dental floss...."I'm grandpa and I'm brave--pull my tooth."  Also after a month of Hard Jobs Axel earned a new tablet.  His old one had a cracked screen for about a year but recently got so bad it wasn't responding.  I was impressed with his diligence.  BIG JOBS like taking the garbage to the dump trailer, unloading the whole dishwasher, feed & water all animals and doing a load of laundry from sort to fold. I to got into the spirit of big jobs. Thanks to Netflix original series I am hooked on Marie Condo cleaning method. 

Lastly the much anticipated, awaited and well protected PROCTOR GIRL!!!   Azalyn Maureen Born Jan 16 @ 12:57 PM 7 lbs 10 oz 20 in.  Cart and I can't wait to get our stork special deliveries. My last ultrasound she looks so perfect. I want to kiss those cheeks.  I can't believe I didn't post my 20 week baby reveal ultrasound either.
