I really have gotten out of the blogging spirit lately. I guess other things have taken precedence. My conscious is getting the best of me though and I know I need to write some things down before I forget.
Brayden pooped in the toilet for the first time! It was a week ago today, and it hasn't happened since. I made a huge deal out of it though when he did it so he has been asking to go potty but it's always just barely too late. We'll get there...someday.
Asher cut his top right tooth on Friday. This morning he woke up at 4:20 screaming hysterically. Nothing would calm him down. I tried nursing, he wouldn't have it. His paci he took out the second it was in his mouth and chucked it across the room and got even more mad. He wouldn't take a sippy cup with real milk in it (which he loves usually.) Sean was awake too and came down to help and after 20 minutes of him not calming down, I finally gave him tylenol. We sat him in his booster and fed him raisins and a banana and then he seemed fine. It was super weird though. While I was feeding Asher, Sean fell asleep on the couch. After A was done eating, I crawled onto the couch as well and just let Asher play. After about 20 minutes he climbed up and fell asleep on his daddy's tummy. I laid a blanket over them and went upstairs to fall back asleep. This was at about 5:45. Brayden woke up at 6:15 and Sean and Asher were still asleep downstairs (until about 8:30 actually) so I plugged in Lion King in my room and let B watch a movie. Nothing like Disney to save the day! Anyway, it's going to be a long day!
Yesterday I decided to forego my regular workout at the gym and go for a run instead. We have been having beautiful mornings here lately and I wanted to take advantage of them before it got too cold and miserable to run outside. Well, that was the hardest, fastest workout I've had in a long time. I haven't really been running lately (I'm blaming it on my Nike+ dying) so I think I pushed myself harder to try to make up for lost time. I only ran 2 miles, but I had a pretty good clip the entire time. I didn't realize how long it had been since I ran until last night really, when I noticed my quads were getting sore! Then this morning...the fun begins :) Yep, they're sore. But I am so glad I went.
I was able to go to the temple last night and do a session for the first time since A was born. I was able to listen and learn more than ever in the past and for that I am so grateful.
My sister Lisa is due with child #5 in 8 days. I can't wait to meet the little guy! I'll probably be going up to WA for a week within the next month to go see him. I'm so excited!
Managing is going well. I really like it actually. We are still learning how everything works and the correct way to do everything but we really are just so blessed to have this gig!
My work is also going really well. I like it a lot. Basically what I do is if someone's software isn't working, or if they can't get in to view their accounts, they contact me to fix the problem. Also, it is my job to research new programs and software and applications that can better serve our company. Currently, I am researching a better way to track time. It is fun to be able to get paid to look into the new fun things out there online!
I've been going out on splits with the missionaries a lot. I've probably been 5 times or something. I LOVE it. I love the sisters that are serving in our ward right now. Sister Bennett and Sister Martin. They came over for dinner on Monday and I just love them both! They're a lot of fun but work hard. It makes me wish that I had served a mission, but I will, someday!
Funny story: Sean always makes fun of me and says "you're related to everyone!" and it's kinda true. My extended family is HUGE. That's what happens when 4 generations of children all of 9 kids each :) "Harston" isn't a very common last name. And I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that every Harston that is out there is a relative (unlike the millions of "Smith" lines). I was at college in a friend's apartment and a guy yelled "Hey Harston!" and 2 of us turned and said "what?" I had never met the other girl before, but it turns out we are second cousins. Our grandfather's are brothers. She was from Illinois and I had never met her or her family before. I went home that night and told my roommate and her sister that story and Andrea said "I'm related to a Kim Harston." Well, it turns out that her Mom's sister (am I right Andrea?) Kim, married Jim Harston, who is my dad's cousin. Super small world...anyway, so on to the current funny story. (Danika, you might have to correct me!) Danika was on facebook trying to show her mom the cake she made for my birthday. My facebook name is "Kimberly Harston Janeway." Danika's mom said "Her middle name is Harston?" and Danika said "No, that's her maiden name." Then her mom said "I'm related to some Harston's." So we did some research and it turns out that Danika's Mom (Jeannine) and I are 3rd cousins, making Danika and I 3rd cousins once removed. How weird is that!? I LOVE it! Danika's great great grandfather, and my great grandfather are brothers. I love geneology :) And I LOVE being related to Danika too because now I can call her "cuz" :)
Alright, I think that's it for now. I am impressed with how much I came up with to write! Here are some pictures in no particular order.
