our crazy month

Things have been so crazy for us since we came home from our trip from Utah. We found out that the waiting list for a house in Colorado is 6 months! We really don't have that long to sit on our hands and wait on a house so we have been house hunting online. Every time I get on the computer wanting to work on the blog I will get an urge to look at more houses, get prices on salon equipment, or look up schools and the school districts, google map the area, etc. I'll talk more about our house situation on a later post mostly because I don't want to think about it right now haha. Anyway, to escape or turn off my brain from our current moving situation I have been reading. Well....the reason that I don't read too much is that it is SO addicting to me. I have read 7 books already this month. So I have had to ground myself from reading for awhile haha.

Other than crazy PCS (permanent change of station) stuff the only other major thing that has been going on is Corey has been gone a lot because of his work. He has been having lots of fun up in the mountains basically playing a hard core version of laser tag to help some infantry soldiers train for an upcoming mini deployment.

Teyton has been the same crazy boy but I am happy to report that the only major disaster we have had this month was while I was giving a friend a haircut he decided to get the tub of Koolaid mix that was in the pantry, fill it up with water and make a paste. He then tried to pour the paste it in one of Kayla's tea sets. When that didn't work out like he planned, he rubbed the paste all over the dining room floor....I'm pretty sure we are NOT going to have carpet in the house we end up purchasing hahaha.

Kayla has been having fun at school and is soaking up everything like a sponge. I am so grateful for the technology we have these days because that girls asks so many questions about the most random things at random times. But whenever I don't know something I can just look it up on my phone no matter where we are. Kayla told us "Those phones you have are really smart....maybe that is why they are called smart phones."

McKayla Alta Abbott

Born December 29, 2004 at the McKay Dee Hospital in Ogden, Utah. Our nicknames for her is Sweetie-Pea, Kayla Bayla, and Angel Cake. She is our little "Mother Hen" whenever she sees someone who is hurting on the inside or outside, she is always there to bring a smile to their face. Her best friend is her little brother who she protects and helps to take care of. She is SO dramatic all the time and we love it! One of her favorite things to do is jam out to music in the car or Corey's/my ipod, she probably uses them just as much if not more than us. She REALLY gets into the music, it is so fun to watch. One day I will be fast enough to catch her on video. When she grows up she says, "I want to be on TV or a Rockstar when I'm a grown up....but I could be a doctor too". We love her so much are so grateful that she was brought into our lives.

Teyton Corey Abbott

Born September 17, 2007 at the Oklahoma University Hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. His nickname is Lil' Man, Bubba, and Teytanium. He is always happy and smiling. The only time this kid gets upset is when he is tired, hungry or most recently, when I take his pull-up off in the morning. He has been resisting my attempts to potty train him haha. He loves his sister so much and thinks that she is the funniest person in the world. He has such a gentle spirit in a tanks body. He is a problem solver and can get to anything inside or outside the house when he sets his mind to it. He is fearless and thinks that he is just as big and strong as his Daddy, and isn't too excited when he is reminded that that isn't exactly true haha. We love him so much and cannot imagine our life without him being a part of it.
