Do you ever have confidence issues?

Well do you? I know this is random, and kind of depressing...but I need to know that I am not the only one who feels like "the nerd", or "the loser" sometimes? I do...and unfortunately I find myself feeling that way more often lately. I thought insecurities were something you battled in junior high, or even high school, not after?

This all stems from my home ward. Side note- those of you in my home ward, I mean absolutely no offence, please do not take this the wrong way.

I am really blessed to have a great ward, with some really great friends. A bunch of us get together once a month and play Bunko, so much fun, but for some reason I find myself feeling a tinge of inadequacy. Crazy I know, but I really don't know were it stems from. I feel like "the cool girls" are letting me hang out. It is not all the time, but the fact that it is even there! I just need to know I am not the only one. I am also open to suggestions on how to get rid of this!

MSN Games

I like to find games online and play them. Chad and I like to find games and play them till we beat them, with the 60 minute timer on most trials it is hard to beat the game. It use to be that if you opened a game on MSN and never truly closed it, just kept it open in your bar, then you could play it until you beat it! Well I think that MSN has caught on to their glitch. I can no longer do this. Steph I know that you play online to, is it just my system? Any way random I know but I would like to continue to play and with this it makes it difficult.

Back to work

I am officially back to work...i love it and hate it at the same time. I feel good getting up and going in the morning but I hate leaving my boys. I only have 48 more days till I quit (hopefully for good) and then I am an official stay at home mom.

All the boys seem to be adjusting pretty well. Michael only misses one feeding and will take a bottle so I just pump. Braxton seems to be growing faster now that I am not home, but I am sure that is just because I miss him so much. Chad is doing great with me gone. He school work has not suffered and I know he will continue to do great!

This is why i have not posted in a while! Love you all and hope you are all good! KATY

Colgate!?!?

Okay, so this is Chad blogging just because I have a short event that I want to share.

Tonight Braxton had just finished taking a bath and I had him all dressed up in his "newer" PJ's and it was time for bed. Well, we just recently started having him brush his teeth so he can get into the habit early. I got up and went to brush my teeth to show him and gave him his toothbrush to follow suit.

I started to get the toothpaste out when I asked Braxton what he wanted on his toothbrush. "Do you want some desitin? how about some Gillette or Colgate?" He stopped in his tracks and starred at me.. and you could hear Katy in the other room saying " Colgate, Colgate, Colgate, Tell him Colgate!"
That's when I turned to Braxton and said, "if you say Colgate right now, I will hug you and never put you down!" Again, he just starred at me, and then at Katy.. He turned to me and started saying" Coogay Coogay Coogay.

Isn't that just the cutest!

Hope you had a laugh

Nursery and suggestions

So Braxton went to nursery for the first time on Sunday. He did great and really loved it,and I got to actually listen in class, not fight my rambunctious little one. Which brings me to my next topic...

Suggestions-Braxton is a very good little boy...as long as he is able to run and play and go as he pleases. Chad and I tried to go to diner tonight with some friends and 50% of the time he was throwing a fit. How can we teach Braxton to be OK in public, to sit and be content sitting still? I am truly asking for help, I wont be offended or bothered if you suggest something, please do. Those of you who have seen us with Braxton in public, can you tell us if it is something we are or are not doing? I know he is a one and a half and it is normal not to want to be contained, but it is so bad I wont even go to the grocery store with him! Please help.

Ketchup HE HE

Well we have had a busy life! We went up north to bless Michael, and had fun seeing families. We came home and Chad gave me a Cricut cutting machine for my b-day. I love it! I am so excited to start using it more. I would really love to have a space were my scrap booking stuff can just sit out, but I am so grateful for the wonderful place I have got now!! Chad is so patient to let me have my stuff all over the kitchen counter for days on end. We have a friend staying with us while she is between apts so our spare room is in use at the moment. i would love to build a custom piece of furniture to have all our computer, sewing, and scrap booking stuff on. Oh did I mention that my mom gave me a awesome sewing machine for my birthday! I am so blessed!

Our boys are so good, and fun. Michael is so big, but unfortunately my camera card will not run on the computer! But this computer has been through so much I am surprised it is still in one piece! Braxton is starting to really talk, and will repeat almost everything you say! Chad is doing so well in school, and I am going back to work in a week. I am so dreading that, but it is only for two months! I can do anything for two months!

$1643.86 mistake

SUU is funny, Chad got a check form the school today for the rest of his refund that we did not pick up, it was supose to be just over $900 but when we picked up the check...2609.36???? Well ok? We called the school and after a conversation we discoved they had cut the check for to much.. no really. Any way we returned the extra and just laughed it off. I wonder how many mistakes they make with people that are not honest?
