Last month Eric took his 2nd of 4 CPA tests. He was so sure he didn't do well at all. Even though he studied hard for this test he felt that he went about it the wrong way and didn't do well at all.
Well last night he looked up his test scores expecting a very low score. To his surprise he passed! He has had this huge smile on last night and this morning. He was in complete shock because he was not expecting to pass at all. I am so proud of him! We are celebrating over here.
This morning he signed up for test number 3 the end of May, right before our trip to Texas.
That is right. We are finally going to Texas. It has been over 2 and 1/2 years and we miss our family back there. We are so excited to see everyone. We will be there from May 28th - June 12th. I am excited that we will be there over my birthday so we can party. We hope to see everyone so you better clear your schedules because we are coming!

Playing on the porch
When we first moved to Bakersfield we first lived in a house with a big backyard. I loved it because Aaron loved going outside to play and I could keep a close watch on him without having to go out myself. We have since moved to an apartment that does have a good patch of grass behind our unit but it is not completely fenced in so I need to watch the kids more closely.
We do however have a closed in porch. It is not that big but the kids love play on the porch when they want to go outside. The kids love to play outside all the time. Here are some pictures of their fun today.

Pics of the kids
My kids keep growing so fast. Especially Kaylee. I can't believe my baby will be 2 in just 2 more months. This girl seems so much older than she really is. She is talking a lot and learning all sorts of new phrases and words everyday. She is starting to learn how to sing her favorite songs. She is still super obsessed with Barney. Most of all she loves to play with her big brother.
Her hair is finally getting long enough that I can start doing stuff with it. Now if only she would stop taking her hair out every time I do it. I am surprised if she leaves her hair up for more than 5 minutes.
The kids also love to see their daddy. Sometimes they don't get to see him much so whenever they do they have so much fun with daddy.
Aaron still loves his new trains and train tracks he got from Christmas. He gets upset anytime we mess up his train tracks. Because they are on the floor they constantly get stepped on or kicked. Aaron will tell everyone, "Step over my train tracks. Don't step on my train tracks." He usually doesn't like Kaylee playing with his trains or tracks but sometimes he will share. Just a minute after I took this beautiful picture Kaylee ruined his train tracks and he freaked out.
I wish I had more fun pictures of us out on adventures but things have just been busy here that we haven't had a chance to get out. Eric is working so hard lately that he has had to work the last few weekends. A couple of weeks ago, Eric took his 2nd of 4 CPA tests. He didn't feel like he did that well so hopefully he will do better next time. Whenever he has a test coming up he has to take every opportunity he can to study. I feel so bad for him sometimes when he works and studies so hard that he hardly has anytime to relax or just be with his family.
As for me, I have been keeping busy these last few months with tutoring. I had such a hard time finding students in the fall but January hit and I quickly picked up a few more students. I believe I am up to 5-7 students depending on the week. I usually only tutor one or two students a day. I just get one of the young women in my ward to come babysit so I can go tutor. It is kind of refreshing to have an hour or two a day when I can actually use my brain again. Most moms know that when you become a full time mom your brain is full of ABC's and 1,2,3's and lots of Barney songs that you feel like your brain is turning to mush. Plus the extra money from tutoring is a huge help. :)
I do love spending all my time with my kids. It is so fun to play with them and take them out on a walk or to the park. I think we have a lot of fun together.
I can't help but think how cute Kaylee is when she gets upset. Her way of pouting when she doesn't get her way is to lay face down on the floor.
