L-I-F-E

Whats going on in the Lindsay life? LOTS! So here goes...

MICHAEL- Works at World Class Auto in AF and loves it, he has been there since end of December and it's seriously been the best job ever, he has a great boss, he gets paid well and the hours are awesome. They close at 6 p.m. and they are closed Sat and Sun which is great Mike has never had a job where he can be off on Saturdays. I can't wait for it to be warm so we can take full advantage of him having Sats off! He works alot which I'm so greatful for him for providing for us. He is a WONDERFUL DADDY, Ethan is his shawdow from the second he walks through the door to the second he falls asleep. Brock honestly lights up when he see's Mike, he gets so excited and flaps his arms HA it's sooo CUTE! He still LOVES to work on cars and do anything OUTDOORS, mowing the lawn, planting flowers playing fetch with the dog etc...Between work and daddy duties that pretty much is what he does...fun huh :)

ME- I still work at Outback which I might say I LOVE! I work 2-3 nights a week and it's so nice to get a break from the kids (and hubby hehe) I love everyone I work with I've made great friends and have the BEST BOSS ever! Plus the extra cash...who can complain about that right? I'm loving our house finally! We got back in our OREM house, we re-carpeted the whole thing, re painted pretty much the whole thing, and got new hard wood floors...so pretty much it's like being in a new place. We still have little things here and there to do but for now it's great! I love being a mom, sometimes it's so hard but in the end it's SO WORTH IT, my boys are the best! Nothing beats hugs and kisses from little Mr. Eth, he is such a lovey kid loves to cuddle and watch movies and randomly will just say "I love you mom" or "your pretty" ahhhhh melts my heart! I've been doing WEIGHT WATCHERS and it's going pretty good I've lost 18.8 lbs thus far...pat on the back for me! Losing weight is NOT easy especailly when you have a hubby who loves junk food and can eat anything and not gain an ounce! Plus I love to BAKE cookies, cakes whatever so that is hard when I just wanna bake and eat LOL. All my pants are starting to get big...which is good now I just need to finish losing weight and go on a SHOPPING SPREE. I wanna lose 19 more pounds then I will be at my goal weight so I guess I'm half way there! Hopefully I can make that by Brock's 1st birthday!

ETHAN- Just turned 4 can you belive it, I CANT! He goes to preschool 2x a week and loves it, he has made some new friends and can write his name...most the time anyway. I'm so glad I did preschool this year it was WAY worth it especailly for his social skills he is a shy kid but preschool has helped him a ton! We just bought him a full size bed and a new dresser so now his room is all "big kid " ha. Mike bought him a fish... his name is DINO and he will stand in his room and STARE at it for hours! He LOVES TOY STORY, 1, 2 & 3 oh my heck he would watch them a million times a day if I would let him! He has got Toy Story 2 down he repeats everything they say usually before they even say it! TARZAN is on top of the list too. He has become way independent he can sit and play with CARS for days, or he will just sit on the couch and watch movies. He does pretty good with BROCK...Eth is starting to get a little protective of "his" toys though I have to remind him Brock is a baby and he can't hit, pull his hair or whatever. But watching them PLAY TOGETHER is awesome I find my self just sitting there watching Eth give Brock a car or show him something or whatever, it's so sweet when he is NICE to him... he calls him BROCKY and I love it! I'm going to sign him up for soccer this fall that will be fun. He loves STAR (his dog) she sleeps with him every night, Eth would DIE without her! He is such a DADDY'S BOY!

BROCK- Mr. man is 10 months old...holy smokes! He has 4 teeth, 2 top 2 bottom, he weighs 20 lbs and he crawls everywhere fast too! He sleeps through the night about 8 pm to 8 am YAY once in a while he will wake up around 5 or 6 just give the kid a bottle and he is set. I weaned him about a month ago...so nice, so he just takes forumla which by the way i'm alreay sick of buying dang that stuff is expensive! He eats baby food too, he LOVES bannanas! He takes at least 2, two hour naps a day. He also is a DADDYS BOY, unless he is sick then he wants his mama. He has had 4 ear infections since Christmas gah...2 more and he will get tubes, Eth got tubes when he was 2 so I'm just waiting cause I'm sure Brock will get them as well. He is a pretty happy good baby, not as good as Eth was he seriously was an angel baby. But all in all I'm LUCKY with 2 great KIDS!

So to sum it up we are GREAT! Life is busy with two kids and a working daddy and mommy but we wouldn't have it any other way. We can't wait for SUMMER...the zoo, park, swimming pools, camping trips are all callin our names! Eth is especailly excited for EASTER he is at such a great age for holidays!

I loved the update! I'm so proud of you for losing that much weight. (I wouldn't have thought you needed to lose any in the first place!) But you're awesome! You're my inspiration! ;-)
It sounds like our babies are doing about the same thing. Your little guy is a month older than my daughter but we're going to have to be doing tubes here soon too. No fun!
Hope things continue to go well for ya!!
