Here are some things that are going on:
--Hayden is showing signs of OCD. Haha! I'm just teasing about this; but it quiet funny. Hayden will get his cars out to play with and well the pictures will describe it all. Hayden makes sure that he lines his cars up just perfectly. Sometimes we will walk in the room after we have all be in the living room and we will see that his cars are lined up. It is just fun to see how particular he is about this. One other thing he did was; he was sitting in the recliner with me and wanted me to hand him his OJ sippy cup. So after he got his drink I was putting it back next to my cup and he said, "turn mommy!" He wanted me to turn the cup around to where the sippy part was headed the right direction.
--Joey has been enjoying his time on Ober Ski Mountain. Its nothing like Jackson snow so he having to adjust to that and relearn this atmosphere. He is doing a great job though. The ski services for him are done and this weekend he will be at Dollywood for his first service there. There are a couple of pictures of him below with the chapel. He is going to do a great job. He said he not nervous about this but very excited to be doing this and have his group of people gathering for church!
--So since Joey has been going to the ski mountain, Hayden and I have been visiting some area churches. We have gone to 3 of them. I'm hoping that we can have a church home before Hayden and I really start regularly at Dollywood. Dollywood opens up this weekend and rumor is that Dolly Parton herself will be there on Friday for the season pass holders. Which I get to be included in that. So you know where we will be on Friday!
--The crowds are starting to come to the area. We saw our first glimpse of some traffic this past weekend. We have also been talking to new friends and learning the backroads to get around that! We have a feelings its because of Spring Break right now. I'm excited though cause there is more action when the tourist are here; otherwise it is a little quiet.
--Another thing is we started a new form of potty training yesterday. Its called run around naked. I told Hayden he could not put on a pull up or underwear. At first he was little upset about that but then he was fine. Another thing is when he goes he gets 1 m&m plus his one sticker. Yes I have broke down to candy. Its working though! He has been telling us he needs to go potty and he actually goes. If anything this is giving him practice at telling us!! So we decided to stay close to home today and he has still done great. This next part is for grandmas.....he was kind of holding his rear end and said poop so he is currently sitting on potty trying to poop but getting distracted with other things in the bathroom. No pictures for this new thing going on. I'll save your eyes on that.
--The last thing is we bought a new vehicle. We got an 02 Chevy Trailblazer. We knew we were going to need a new car by May. Joey had been using the ministry van. We happened upon a great deal on this vehicle and the salesman (fellow Southwester Seminary graduate) gave us an even better deal. We love it and Joey has found a site on the internet that is like a club for Trailblazers to do new and cool things to them. I told him; one step at a time....we need the clicker (to unlock and lock the car). So that is in the mail to us now. So far I am loving it and I like that I'm not so low to the ground. This is now my primary car and Joey has the Buick.
--Ok there is one more thing; we were able to join the Pigeon Forge Community Center Workout Facility. I'm so very excited because with the weather being the way it is I have not gotten to workout much. We joined yesterday and so I got to workout and got 2 miles of running in on the treadmill. So very excited that the month off that I had did mess up my distance. (Joey and I are planning on running a 5K May 1st so I'm about ready)
Thank you all for reading my long blog! I guess that is what happens when you wait too long between posts! Hopefully the next one won't be as long!
Love you all!
