The Homec Life

I started to do a weekly review of what we were up to a while back and didn't keep up with it.  My goal is to be better about blogging about the everyday stuff we do.  I think it will be nice to look back and see what we were up to.

Trent left on Thursday morning(4:00 a.m.)to go to Salt Lake for the day.  Then from Salt Lake he flew to New Orleans.  He will be there until Sunday night.  That means that I was left to hold up the fort on my own.  Which I hate!  I don't like having him gone for 4 days.  I can barely handle  1 day.  I can't sleep very well when he is gone.(I think I've mentioned this)  Not only that when he's gone it makes me realize just how much I rely on him to help me out.
Madisen had her last swim meet for the season today.(There are still 2 more meets but we will be missing them.)  The swim meet was very stressful for me because I had to work it.  You have to work at 4 meets during the season.  Which normally would be fine, but, Trent was gone, so, I had to take all 3 of my kids to the meet which is like 5 hours.  Some how keep an eye on my baby and my 4 year old and "Shepherd" 7-8 year old girls (which means I have to line them up for every single race.) It was not fun!  But I managed thanks to some great friends who helped me out.  ANYWAY!  On to my little girl:  She is such a good a little swimmer.  I'm glad that she was able to have the experience but I will be glad to not have to take her to swimming every morning.  I'm sure she'll like that too.  :)  Madisen also had a play date with a little girl that was in her class last year.  She had a great time and can't wait to see if they are going to be in the same class this year.(She starts school in 2 weeks)  Madisen is growing up so fast!  I can't believe that she will be turing 8 this year.  Where did the time go?  Where is my little baby girl who would crawl around (like a stink bug) and get into everything?  Oh how miss that little chubby thing.
Jaden is such a sweet little boy.  He loves both his sisters so much.  He looks up to Madisen and loves to play just about anything with her. (Including barbies!)  They are such good friends and it makes me so happy that they love each other so much.  He also loves to sit on the floor and play with Tatum.  He is so sweet to her.  She loves to wrestle with him and just the sight of him makes her giggle.  Jaden and I had a little date this week.  We went shopping and then I took him for Ice cream.  I enjoyed talking to him.  He always has a story to tell.  And it is so fun to listen to all the details.
Tatum is 14 months now.  Wow!  I can't believe that my baby is that old already.  She is in such a fun stage right now.  We call her "The destructer".  She crawls(not walking yet due to injury)

everywhere and gets into everything.  The dog food and water, the movies, the crayons, the Gatorade in the pantry and much more.  She is such a happy baby and she is finally sleeping more than 30 minutes at a time.  As she gets older Trent keep asking if I am sure that I don't want another baby.  His argument is that our babies are just so cute, and how could I not want another little baby just like Tatum.(He would have a whole army if he could)  Well, I must admit I do think my babies are VERY cute.(I'm partial of course) I have to remind him that unless he wants to raise the kids and the baby by himself(I was in the hospital 3 times with my last pregnancy) that it might be a good idea if I not have another one.
