It's now official...we're moving to Chanute!!! Last week Dave signed his contract with the Ashley Clinic in Chanute, Kansas. He starts in August of 2010. So we still have a year left in Salina, and I have a whole year to get things ready. Now comes the exciting stuff. I'm going to start talking to a realtor in August to kind of see what's out there and to have her keep her eyes open for us. We're still trying to decide whether to buy or build, so we'll see what happens. It's just so nice to know where we'll be living...forever!!!!
ps. the kids are so excited!

IT"S A BOY!!!
Yes, that's right...baby #4 is a boy!!! Jacob was way too excited to hear the news. He even said, "I will definitly take care of that baby. Mom, you won't have to do a whole lot because I'll be helping out." Did I have a tape recorder handy? No, so I'm sure this wonderfully, good intentioned comment will be forgotten. But that's ok. :) Now it's time to come up with names... Any suggestions?

FABULOUS!
The cruise was FABULOUS!! We had a blast just doing a whole lot. We sat around, read some great books, went snorkling, hung out with some sting ray, went to a pirate museum, ate some fabulous food, climbed a waterfall, saw some dolphins, hung out with Quentin and Jess, and got some good Dave and Heather together time. It was GREAT! We are definitly going to go on another cruise. (in a couple of years) Pretty soon I'll figure out how to put pictures on my blog, then maybe I'll post some. :)
The kids had a great time with Aunt Heather. No lies though, I was glad to see them again. (Dave was too) Around Thursday I kept thinking, "Oh, the kids would love this"...and so on. That's how I knew I was missing them. I love those kids!!
Now we're back and there's only 1 more week of school left. (actually 2 days) I'm super excited to get Jacob all day again. I've already got an action packed summer planned. It involves swim lessons, art classes, gymnastics (for Jeanette), canoe trips, fishing, and Indiana trip, and trips to Chanute. It should be FUN!
Last but not least...my sister is moving to Utah!!! Jennifer will be interning for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints doing some design work on temple interiors. (am I right Jenn?) I'm super excited for her, but I'm totally going to miss her. I hope she doesn't mind lots of phone calls...

It's Cruise Time!
ok, ok...I know I'm horrible at this blog thing. But I promise I'll work on it so all my fans will know what the Guernsey gang is up to. (i pinky swear)
anyway...6 more days until Dave and I leave for our cruise!!!! I'm so excited!!! I'm also getting a little anxious. I know I'm going to forget something, and I know that about 2 days into the cruise I'll miss the kids. But I also know we'll have a fabulous time and Dave and I really need this vacation. I was trying to remember the last time we really went on vacation without the kids. The answer...our honeymoon. ha ha ha
The kids are doing fantastic. Jacob is a rock star at reading and writing. I also have a super cute story I have to share about Jacob. In about 2 weeks Jacob's teacher is having a BBQ at her house to celebrate the end of the year with the kids. Jacob was really excited about this. There is going to be a trampoline, tie-dye shirt station, basketball, etc. The only problem is that the BBQ is on a Sunday. Dave and I decided we would let Jacob make his own decision about whether he could go or not. So yesterday we talked with him about it and let him know he needed to make a decision and here is what he said, "I think the BBQ is going to be lots of fun, but I also want to keep the Sabbath day holy, so I'm not going to go." We are so proud of him for choosing the right and making such a hard decision!!!
Jeanette is doing well. She's fully potty trained now, which is awesome!!! She's starting to want to do big girl things like write her name. (although it looks like chicken scratches!) Jeanette is also a little chatter box. We love it!
Ella is running everywhere! She loves to be outside and already has a healthy glow. (i.e. sunburn-because mom's cool and forgot to put sunblock on her) she's saying little words like 'mommy, daddy, baby, bunny', and she can point to various body parts. my favorite-her nose. i don't know why that's my favorite, it's just cute.
Dave is in the last months of his second year of residency. I'm so glad because I've heard that third year is much better. I'm not really sure what that means, but I think it's good. :)
Me...believe it or not...my baby bump is definitly there now. i'm debating on whether i need to start wearing my maternity clothes or not. i think the fact that i'm thinking about it probably means that i should. (and maybe the fact that it's getting hard to cover my stomach)!
ps. what should I bring on the cruise?

Potty Training Funnies
So...I'm trying to potty train Jeanette. So far my favorite dialog between the two of this goes something like this:
Me: Jeanette, let's go potty!
J: I don't have to.
Me: Let's try, just in case.
J: No, maybe later.
about 2 minutes later
J: Mom! I went potty in my underwear!
Me: Uh oh, next time let's try to make it to the toilet.
J: I did!!
Hopefully this won't go on much longer. :)
