We're boring...I know

So I haven't posted in almost a month and figured I should update on something. We are all still alive and waiting for Spring to make up it's mind all ready. The girls have loved going out to play on their bikes again and on the swing set. Too bad is it snowing again as I type this. We are so done with the cold.
Dacia loves school and is doing really well. This month they celebrated Dr Suess's birthday and their 100th day of kindergarten. Dacia is doing great on her sight words and learning to read. She learned to read Green Eggs and Ham, which was her first big book to read all the way through. It helps that the book had alot of her sight words in it. I can't believe she will soon be in first grade. Erik was pretty sad when he realized that, because he works evenings, when Dacia goes to school all day, he won't get to see her much.
Ashlyn is growing overnight. Every day she asks "did I get bigger last night". She loves to cook. In fact a few times she has gotten into the pantry and made her own little concoctions. The first one was to surprise dad when he was sick. It was pretty funny. She used a whole container of sprinkles. The second time, not so funny, when she put food coloring in the baking powder container. We decided that we need to cook with her more so she doesn't have to experiment on her own. She is a princess and would prefer to spend her day in dress up clothes, if we would let her.
Brylee is all over the place and unstoppable. This little girl is walking now, she has been for a while, i just hadn't blogged about it yet. She was a little later than my others walking, but she has sure made up for it and now almost runs to where she wants to go. It's so fun to have another midget running around. We are counting down the days that she can go to nursery at church. She is in that extremely difficult stage of not wanting to sit through classes.
Erik and I are just pluggin away and our same routine. I am still working part time at South Davis and still like it fot the most part. It's hard to believe that's it been almost 8 months since I went back to work. When i am not at work I am home being all domestic and love it. I have been doing lots of sewing for the girls and lots of yummy cooking (the scale will vouch for that). Erik is keeping busy at the hotel and also enjoys his time to be home with the girls.
Our big news of the month....we are under contract on our house. We will be moving next month. It's still kinda weird to me. We have lived here for 6 1/2 years and have brought 3 babies home here. We love our house and neighbors. Too bad it's too late to add that basement on our house. We really want more room to stretch out and we are looking forward to the new adventures that come. We start house hunting tomorrow and hope we find something fabulous to call home.

I am excited to here your house sold! YEAH!!! There are tons of homes in my neighborhood and 3-4 of which are in my ward desperate to sell....Could be FUN!

Congrats on selling your home. The girls are probably at a good age to move. I wish it were us. Not that our house is on the market. I just want to be back in Utah. Good luck with all of the packing and the house hunt. There will be lots to choose from right now.
