Hello again!!!

Well, lets see...I haven't written in a while. I got my other cavaties filled! Much better the second go around! I only had 2 to get done, and they were only on the top, so my whole mouth wasn't numb! :) I was actually able to talk afterward! I think that this last trip to the dentist has really lessened my fears! :) Praise the Lord! Also...Zoe is COMPLETELY POTTY TRAINED!!! I know that she could have been a long time ago, but I have just been too freaked out! I finally told her that she HAD to wear panties! I knew that day, when she came to me and asked if she could have a pull up just randomly, that she was already potty trained, but just in her way. Ever since that day she has only had one poopoo accident, and that was because she was playing at a friends house, and two teetee accidents, and those were because someone else was using the potty! She is OFFICIAL!!! I am sooo happy! It has made my life sooooo much easier to only have 2 in diapers!!! :) (I know, that's still pretty crazy, though!) Next is Lenci! I think I'm going to do things a little differently with her, but I'm not sure what yet!

Ummmm...went apartment hunting with my sister in law! That was a riot! It was the two of us and my three munchkins! Hahaha! I know that the ladies who showed us the different apartments were thinking we were crazy, but the kiddos were ALL soooo good! They even missed a nap and had lunch late after getting up extra early! I was so proud of them! Zoe and Lenci walked most of the time, and they were sooooo zonked when they got home! :) Those apartment guides (or whatever you call them?) were walking sooo fast, and I was carrying our big little mister in his carseat the whole time! It was fun to get out of the house and have a big adventure, though! I always love seeing apartments and open house type things! We found a great place for my sister in law to live, too! Very cute and cozy, and she'll be less than 2 minutes away (when she's not working)! :) Yay! Finally someone in the family who's close again! :)

And...it's June now! And raining at this very moment...which I LOVE!!! We are growing some tomato plants in the back yard, and God knew that I would be overwhelmed watering them! I am soooo thankful to Him for this WONDERFUL rain! Our plants are doing great!!! We also have some Hyssup Bean Plants that are now starting to vine!!! Yay!!! And hopefully our little raspberries will recover from the birds eating them all!

Oh, ya! Lee and I got to go on a date! It was soooo fun! We went to the Montgomery Plaza and ate at Gloria's outside in their little patio area under the strings of lights overhead! The weather was perfect, and it was beautiful! It was very romantic! We also got to go and look around in Pier 1 (with no kids), and we bought some beautiful artificial poppies for my little French hen pitcher, some great smelling room spray , and a glass head! Hahaha! Ya...that was Lee's pick! We were having sooo much fun with it! It's this hollow green tinted glass mold of a human sized head! You can put stuff in it, and it's see through, so Lee was like "I want this to put in my next youth office!" :) It is totally him, but we were putting fun things inside it like flowers and candy and...actually, right now it has a 7up can inside the neck and it looks like it's drinking out of another cup from a straw!!! Hahaha! Pretty silly! Makes for a great conversation piece. I'm really not sure where it will go while it's waiting for it's place of destiny! I don't really want it on our table! I'll post a pic of it once I get the pics off of our digital camera! For some strange reason our PC doesn't let me save pictures to it. The USB will not recognize our camera's hardware or something. I think it's too old...but that's okay cause Lee's laptop does fine with that. I may do that in a minute...

Lee made salesman of the month this month! It's his 2nd time! I'm sooo proud of him! He sold 21 cars! Yay! I am soooo thankful for this blessing! Lee works so hard for our family! It has been so nice to be able to pay our bills and to just rest in the Lord! We both know that we could not do this if it were not for the providing Hand of God!!! Everyday Zoe prays that Lee will sell a car! One day she told Lee that he had to sell 3 cars because that's how old she is...and 2 days later he sold 3 1/2 in one day!!! She was soooo excited! :) Plus, she learned that she was 3 1/2 that day! Hahaha! Well...I think that's all I can really think of right now! Hopefully I will get a little more time on my hands, but I'm preparing to have my dad here soon, so I don't know how much free time I will have! I like my quiet late nights! :) And then I really enjoy my dark black Starbucks coffee (self brewed) in the mornings! :)

Oh, ya! I'm getting ready to try out something new! I'm going to make a wreath. It has a Shabby Chic kind of feel...made from fabric strips! I'm soooo excited! I will post some pictures of my progress on this little project! :) Well, I'm going to post this! :) Lee's a little sick right now! :( Tomorrow's his early morning, so I'm praying that he feels better!

HI! So much to write about!! First, congratulations Zoe on the potty training! That is fantastic. I don't even know where to begin with that, so when Ella's ready in several months, I'll need some advice.
I am with you on the rain. I planted my first garden ever last month and it has been great that I have not had to spend lots of time watering it yet!
Zoe praying for Lee everyday to sell a car is one of the sweetest things I have heard! You have such a precious family.
Love ya!
