Life sure does keep you busy, doesn't it?! I haven't really felt like I have too much to post. Most of the people who read this are family.... and they mostly know what is going on in our lives. But my babies are growing up so fast. I want to remember the little things they say and do at this age. My goal? Update more often.<br />
We've had a few changes in the last few months. Tom has changed jobs and finished his Associates Degree from UVU. Whoo hoo! WE are planning on moving to St George in the summer. Kinda freaking out about that, but it is a good opportunity for Tom and his career. I am not tending my friends' kids anymore. I am working 2 jobs now. Luckily one of them is the hospital daycare and I usually get to be with one of my kids during work. <br />
Aileah has started kindergarten and LOVES it. She is starting to read. She seems to learn things pretty quickly. She said she love math. Hope she doesn't lose that. She is still into singing, dancing, and dressing up. She had a friend in preschool named Jared. She said he was her boyfriend. She still talks about him She has told us that she is going to marry him because the Holy Ghost told her he is the one for her. One of the cute things she often says to me is, "Keep it in your brain". She says it if she is telling me something she doesn't want me to forget. <br />
Eli is almost 3. That is so hard for me to believe. He is crazy active....sometimes just crazy :) He talks like crazy. I cannot believe how grown up he sounds sometimes. He sings all the time (like his big sister). He is quite the ladies man at daycare. He tends to go after older girls (like his dad). He has "girlfriends". They are all in the 2nd grade. He chases them around the playground and when it is time to go in he has to give them hugs. Yikes.... to young for my kids to be such flirts!!!!<br />

We have been trying to keep busy this spring. Here are some of our highlights so far.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*We moved to a newer, bigger apartment about a block away from our old place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Tom quit Pep Boys and started back at Provo Airport. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Tom's truck died and an amazingly generous coworker gave us a 2002 Hyundai Accent. For Free! We now are the proud owners of 2 Accents :)</div>

We considered going to Spokane (since that is where we are considering settling after school) but I was nervous to drive north in the middle of February. So we decided on the Phoenix area. It was wonderful to get away and enjoy some family time and some WARMTH. (This winter has been brutal!) It was <strong><em>a lot </em></strong>of driving but we enjoyed ourselves. We saw a lot of new things, made a lot of wildlife sightings, and had a lot of fun! Are you ready for picture overload? Ready or not, here it comes.<br />

This little guy turned one yesterday. I cannot believe it! He is such a happy little guy. We love him so much and we are so glad he is part of our little family! Here are some fun facts about Eli.<br />
<br />
*He can say Mama, Dada, Uh-oh, and he tries to repeat I love you. He gets the syllables right <br />
anyway.<br />
<br />
*He claps when we say, "yay!" He waves. He blows kisses.<br />
<br />
*He walks around our coffee table. His little head has taken quite the beating... but no walking yet.<br />
<br />
*He LOVES to make people laugh. He is such a ham!<br />
<br />
*He is a huge flirt!<br />
<br />
*He gives really good hugs and very energetic kisses.<br />
<br />
*He ADORES his big sister! He thinks she's the greatest person ever! <br />

We haven't been up to much lately. Just kinda chillin' at home. My friend I babysit for was on maternity leave... so I had a break from work. I thought I would get so much done around the house. HA! Funny me :) Spending time with these 2 is worth a mess, unorganized house. They are growing way too fast and I don't want to miss a second! They are pretty great kids... even on ornery days. They help me smile on days when I want to cry. They make me cry with happiness (and frustration sometimes). They melt my heart many times during the day. Aren't they cute?!</div>

I have been feeling that way a lot lately. I have been feeling fairly overwhelmed, and feeling, frankly, like I am failing at many things. My situation hasn't really changed, so why am I feeling this way more often?<br />
<br />
I think a major reason is that I am stubborn. I think that I can do everything on my own, no help. This is clearly not the case. I have been blessed with a wonderful, hard-working husband. But he is often gone from home, at work and school. The kids and I are lucky to see him more than an hour a day during the school year. So, there are times when I feel very alone. I have come to realize that I need to rely more upon my Savior for His help in raising these amazing Spirits. I cannot do it alone. I know that He can and will help me. I only need to ask, to listen, to obey. I pray that I will be the mother my kids deserve. That they will remember a fun mom... not one constantly stressed, or short tempered. <br />
<br />
I debated for quite awhile about whether or not to write this post. But it has been on my mind lots lately. So please forgive me. I've heard it helps to write goals down....so here is one of mine.<br />

I don't do anything as often as I used to anymore. I don't have time to clean, bake, craft, hang out as often as I used to...but I wouldn't have it any other way. My babies are growing up way too fast. I wish I could slow it down... give them all the time and attention I have. I am so grateful to be these adorable kids' mom.

My beautiful Aileah. She loves dressing up, riding carousels, and pretending to be characters from her favorites movies. She is also becoming quite the little photographer. She takes my phone from me all the time so she can take pictures. She says the funniest things. I have no idea where she comes up with these things. She just had her first sleepover. While I am glad she had a good time, I was sad too. I feel like she doesn't really need me anymore. She is getting cuddlier (yes, that is a word), which I love! Such a sweet girl.<br />

My handsome Eli. He is still army crawling, although he can crawl the other way. He is pulling himself up to standing on furniture. He is fearless... and has had the bumps on his head to prove it. He is a calm little guy, usually. He says "Dada" when he's happy. "Mama" when he's sad. He does a funny, long intake of breath when he is excited. He likes to laugh when we do. Such a good baby.</div>

Seems like just last year I was in high school. Just last week I was in the singles' ward. And as if yesterday, my beautiful daughter was born. Thinking back makes me think about things I would do differently, lessons I learned from my mistakes. Here are some I wish I had learned a little earlier in my life.<br />
<br />
Don't be afraid to look silly. (Actually one of my greatest fears) People are rarely watching you to see if you look goofy, dumb, whatever. So go ahead and be crazy.<br />
<br />
Try new things. Don't be afraid of new experiences. You may find something you love because you try something different.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the stage of life you are currently in. I wasted so much time while I was single wishing I was married. I forgot to enjoy it. Bloom where you are planted.<br />
<br />
Make friends, be social. It's so easy to stay in your own little cocoon. But you only grow when you stretch yourself. I learned so much from my friends and roommates. I am so lucky to have such amazing friends.<br />
<br />
Family is the most important thing. I love my family, always have. But I take them for granted. They are my best friends. I know they will be there for me no matter what. But I need to take time to strengthen my relationships with them. <br />
<br />
I wish I could go back in time and tell myself these things. But I can only take the lessons I've learned and move on from here. <br />

Why? Because we actually see him for a little bit now. The summer was rough, really, really rough. Tom was working 2 jobs and was home less than ever. It was hard on all of us. Tom created and started an internship, hoping to get some real-world experience in an auto shop while still getting class credit. It didn't take long for us to realize this was not an option for us. He was NEVER home. Never. Gratefully, he quit the internship so he would have time for homework and family. Whew. <br />
We took a quick trip to Ogden and Elko. Here are a few pics from our trip.<br />

It was nice to just be together and to get away... even if it wasn't a "real" vacation. I love the times when we are all together. I wish we had it more. We are all a lot happier :)</div>

For some reason this birthday was kinda bummed me out. 30? Loved it! 35? No big deal. So why the random 36? I think because I am no longer in my mid-30's. Now it's my late 30's. Silly, I know. But, this birthday has got me thinking about my life and changes I'd like to make. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
For as long as I can remember I have struggled with my weight. I finally was getting a hang of it before Tom and I started dating. I swore, up and down, that I would not go back to where I was before. That I would keep the weight off. Yeah.... that so did not happen. Here I sit, way too close to my highest weight. Grr! How did I let this happen? I am so annoyed and frustrated with myself. So, I have decided it is time to make some changes. It will not be easy, this I know. But it is possible... if I work at it. I will cut back on soda, I will eat less sweets, I will exercise more, I will eat more fruits and veggies. I will look like this again! <br />

A couple of things pop into my head when I think about trying to stay positive in the face of adversity. <br />
The first is a quote by Marjorie Pay Hinckley. “The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache.” <br />
The other is a song that I absolutely love. "Smile"<br />
<br />
Smile though your heart is aching<br />Smile even though it's breaking<br />When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by<br />If you smile through your fear and sorrow<br />Smile and maybe tomorrow<br />You'll see the sun come shining through for you<br /><br />Light up your face with gladness<br />Hide every trace of sadness<br />Although a tear may be ever so near<br />That's the time you must keep on trying<br />Smile, what's the use of crying? <br />You'll find that life is still worthwhile<br />If you just smile.<br />
<br />
So this is what I have been trying to do. Some days I am more successful than others. But here are a few things that make me smile.<br />

I was trying to catch Eli's smile. It is tricky since, unfortunately, it usually disappears once a camera comes out. I will share a few pictures with you. Eli is growing up too quickly! He loves to stand.... so he is very content in his little toy. He is a happy boy. He likes to give kisses, talk, suck his thumb, and play with his feet. I am lucky to have the two cutest kids ever :)<br />

My sweet baby girl turned 3 today! She is such a funny, sweet, sassy, stubborn, loving girl! She makes me laugh and, yes, sometimes want to pull my hair out. But I love this girl and am so grateful I get to be her Mom. I know I mess up A LOT... but she has somehow turned out pretty great so far!<br />

She LOVES to sing. Some of her favorites to sing right now are: The Veggie Tales Theme Song, God is Bigger Than the Boogie Man, Do As I'm Doing, When I am Baptized, I am a Child of God. I have tried to capture her cute little singing voice on film, but she is not cooperative!<br />
<br />
She LOVES Peter Pan and Disney Princesses.<br />
<br />
She loves to pretend to be other people. Today she was pretending to be Darth Vader, "Give yourself to the dark side." (Complete with Vader breathing)<br />
<br />
She is scared of owls, and birds and sneezing puppies and kitties, and grass and sticks. I don't know why she is afraid of most of these things but we have to pray everyday to be kept safe from them.<br />
<br />
She loves people! She makes friends so quickly.<br />
<br />
She is fighting potty training like none other. GRRRR! She will do a funny walk after she has peed in her diaper now. <br />
<br />
We found out today what an adrenaline junkie she is! We went to Trafalga and she was ready to ride all the rides all by herself. Her favorite was the Frog Hopper... it lifts you up high and then bounces you up and down. She rode it at least 5 times. Then as we were walking to the car she said, "Oh... we forgot to ride the big Frog!"<br />
<br />
We like her a lot!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> When Elijah was born I thought he had a look that was totally his own. As he's gotten a little older (since he is only 5 weeks) I've seen some similarities between him and his big sister, Aileah. I don't think they'd be confused for each other.... but i do see some resemblance. I think they are both adorable. So happy to be their mom!</div>Heather and Thomas Mannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10039960783107082197noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921769439805582217.post-74066329912315929562012-02-16T15:51:00.000-07:002012-02-16T15:51:56.217-07:002012... so far<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Aileah had been waiting for it to snow for so long.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">And our BIG news!!!!! Elijah Thomas was born on Feb. 9th. He weighed 8 lbs 6 oz and was 21 inches long. His big sister weighed the exact same... but was an inch shorter. He is a good sleeper during the day. Such a sweet little thing. And although I'd forgotten how exhausting having a newborn is.... I wouldn't trade it for the world!</td></tr>

Life has been keeping us busy. Tom took some time off of work so we could go on a mini vacation. I loved spending time with him. I really miss him while he is gone all day. I'm so looking forward to the day he is done with school. That's only like 2 1/2 years away. Sigh. <br />
<br />
We had a second ultrasound. Elijah seems to be growing big and strong. I can't believe I am 7 months already. I am anxious to meet this little Mann. I am also worried about how Aileah will do with him and sharing my attention, how I will handle 2 kids on my own, ..... the list goes on and on. I know if I rely on the Lord, He will give me the strength to do all the the things I need to.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures from our most recent adventures.....<br />

</div>Aileah loves to sing. Her favorite songs right now?<br />
*Just The Way You Are- Bruno Mars<br />
*Firework- Katy Perry<br />
*Hey, Soul Sister- Train<br />
<br />
Aileah is talking like crazy. She wakes up in the morning talking and sometimes falls asleep talking.<br />
Some of her most commonly used phrases:<br />
"Let's get outta here." She says this when she is bored and wants to leave stores.<br />
"I need kisses" and "You need kisses?" This is pretty adorable.<br />
"I so funny!" <br />
"Everything ok?"<br />
One evening I was getting dinner ready and feeling awful. (When I am sick I get weepy.) Aileah came into the kitchen and asked me if I was ok. Through my tears, I told her I was ok just sick. She went to her room and got her big panda bear for me to cuddle. What a sweet girl!<br />
<br />
Some of Aileah's other favorite things:<br />

I can't believe how fast she is growing up. Even though money is tight, I am grateful to be able to be at home with her so I don't miss a thing!<br />
