Our life as we know it!

So we are pretty boring lately but what has been happening in the life of the Phifers'. Well Jaycee got a new bedroom set. She has the one that Josh and I used when we were first married. She calls it her Queen room because she has a queen size bed. Last night when I got home from being out with my friends I went into Jaycee's room to give her a kiss goodnight and she was laying on the floor with her pillow. So I asked her why she was sleeping on the floor and she told me it was because her bed was too soft. She liked her other one better because it was harder. She is so funny. She doesn't like change very well. After we moved into the house she told me she liked our condo better because her room was painted and this one isn't. I am going to have fun with her!! She still says some of the funniest things. We went to Kohls the other night and Jordyn asked what we were going to do at the store and Jaycee replied "uh shop"! I was so glad that she knew what we were going to do there!

Jordyn is still Jordyn. I haven't found anyone that will take her until she grows out of this stage she is in!! Her bedroom door doesn't close anymore because she has slammed it too many times. I am so looking forward to her teenage years. She is still covered in scratches from Sparkles,but don't feel bad for her. She tries to put Sparkles in her doll's stroller, she picks her up by her neck, she carries her all over the house, she makes her sit on the couch and if she jumps off she will put her right back and she uses her for a pillow. I don't blame Sparkles one bit for scratching and biting Jordyn. I am trying to work on getting Jordyn to leave her alone. The other day I told Jordyn to put Sparkles down and she said "but mommy she is so cute and I love her". How can I argue with that? She also still wants nothing to do with the potty so I have told her that the Diaper Fairy is going to come on Nov. 1st to take all of her diapers and give them to the babies that really need them. And in place of the diapers she will leave her some big girl panties. So we will see how that goes. I am going to take the week off of work. I just hope my carpet and furniture will survive.

Sparkles is just like Jordyn. I am really glad that we can't have any more kids for a while. I don't think Sparkles or myself would survive it. She has eaten all the corners of my baseboards. She likes to eat and spread all the moss out of the fake tree we have in our living room. We have to keep the shoe basket and all of the garbage cans in the bathrooms up on something so she can't get into them and pull everything out and eat it. She will only eat soft foods. And the big topper for me is when she ripped my patriarcle blessing to shreds!!! She was put in time out for that one so that I could calm down and gather the hundreds of pieces of paper that were all over the living room. She still doesn't sleep in very late. She is up for the day by 6am. But she sure is cute.

Josh had been working really hard lately. I am very proud of him. He has been playing softball this year and really enjoying it. He wasn't able to play at all last year because of Chemo. So it has been really good for him. He is finally able to do all of his honey do's that would have been nice to have done when we first moved in. The house is still a work in progress but I am happy that it is in progress now.

I have been really busy lately with work and I also started taking a zumba class and actually using the eliptical machine that we bought over a year ago. My goal is to lose all the weight I gained through out Josh's chemo treatments. I am off to a good start. I have all ready lost 5lbs. My goal is to try to lose it by my birthday. I know that is a pretty heafty goal but I will try. I still don't have a home for work yet but hopefully I will have one soon.

That's about it with us for now.
