Once again, I have been a blogging slacker. I will try to sum up the past three months as best as I can.
- Keegan is a busy, busy 3 year old. He is almost totally potty trained finally.
- His vocabulary is rapidly growing. His current favorite phrase involves putting his hands on hips and yelling out: "I am BOSSY!!!"
- His love for trains is undeterred and his collection just keeps growing. He spends a lot of time with his train table and can name all these different varieties.
- He loves his baby brother so much. He likes to hold him, hug him, kiss him, and play with him. He is always saying that Connor is his baby.
- He loves to read, his favorite books right now are about ladybugs, the only bugs he can tolerate. He is the only little boy I know who hates bugs.
- He loves to sing and dance. His favorite songs right now are "Call Me Maybe" (ugh) and "How Bad Can I Be" from The Lorax.
We went on a brief trip to Seattle in July. My parents took care of the boys while Craig worked in Boise and I went back to some specialists I had seen in high school at a hospital there to make sure a medical condition I have was fully under control and that my health was 100% after the difficult pregnancy with Connor. We didn't have much time to do anything but we did take Keegan and Connor to the lake which was a lot of fun and we got to spent a bit of time with my family.

- Connor is almost 4 months old now.
- He is teething super early. His poor little gums are swollen and he gets so cranky.
- He can roll over and lift his head and shoulders up like a little champ.
- He is mostly sleeping through the night now which is soo nice!
- He can grasp and hold a lot of his toys now which I think is so cute.
- He grins so much. His smile is beautiful.
- He is starting to laugh as well which is the best sound ever.

Our big exciting news is that after working extremely hard the last several years, Craig was accepted to Arizona State University. It's been his goal since he was a little boy and I am so proud of him. He is going to finish his last year of his BA and then pursue his Master's degree. This means we'll be moving right after Christmas to Mesa, Arizona. We just got back from a trip out there to look at the campuses (there are three) and look at housing. The Polytechnic campus in Mesa has married housing and is where most of my classes will be (I am in the process of applying). We checked out the houses and they are simple but will fit our needs perfectly and save us a significant amount of money. We were not sure until this trip if we were going to take the leap and move but after much prayer, reflection, weighing of pros and cons, and spending time in the temple we know it is the right choice for us.

So happy to finally be a Sun Devil!!!

As for me, I just got back into BSU now that my health is back to being 100% and I am thrilled! Since Arizona State does not have a Canadian Studies minor (few schools do) I switched to History with an Anthropology minor and am excited about that. This semester I get to take Introduction to Archaeology which I think will be really interesting.
This weekend we finally blessed Connor. It was Stake Conference so we did it at home which was a very neat experience. It was wonderful having my family and Craig's family there. Connor didn't cry at all and looked so handsome in his outfit.
Good things are happening and we are so grateful for our blessings and the new opportunities that are being presented to us.
