RaNdOm

*I haven't really posted anything lately so I thought I would do a little update. A lot has been going on with lots of changes. First of all, today was Ashtyn's first day of preschool!!! I can't believe she is already old enough for school. I am doing a "mother-taught" preschool with four other ladies in our ward. I teach every 5 weeks which isn't too bad. We have it on Tues. and Thurs. morning for 2 hours. This week is my week, and I think it went pretty well. We have really good kids in our preschool, and I think it's going to be a good experience. I know Ashtyn is really excited about it!

They just grow up too fast!!

Here are the kids making their "egg carton ants."

*Next, Chris has had to start a new job. It has been a little stressful, but for the most part it is really working out ok. The company he was working for had to shut down :( We really liked working there and were way sad, so we are trying to have a positive attitude and look forward to what this new job will bring. He and a friend are starting another cabinet shop together. They have been working like crazy to get everything set up so they can start production.

*I am now 6 months prego! I can't believe how fast it has gone, and I know the next 3 are going to go even faster. With everything that's going on, plus holidays, and 3 birthdays it really is going to go fast! We are so excited for our new arrival. Everything is going perfect with the pregnancy so far. (knock on wood) I am starting to get a little uncomfortable, but nothing too bad. Oh, and I think we have finally chosen a name.......

Collin Michael O'Connor!!!

Cute, huh!? We just like the name Collin and Michael is Chris' middle name. I can't wait to see his cute little face and kiss it!!

*As for Camden, he is just as sweet as ever. He is starting to talk so much!! He says tons of words and small sentences. He is also starting to show interest in the potty which really gets me excited. I know it will still be a few months before we start trying but atleast he's headed in the right direction!
