Busy Busy Mommy!

Awhile ago we had a post about a busy busy Daddy. Well he is still extremely busy, and now Mommy, (me), is some how almost as busy!
I got a new calling in church, I had it at our old ward, but this ward seems to be more active, so my calling is in action. I am the assistant weekly activities coordinator. I am enjoying it because this coming activity is going to be CRAFTS! We all know how I feel about crafts. (=
Another great thing keeping me busy is the girls home pre-k. We are doing it with some friends, and the girls love it! I love that Bea gets to be involved as well. She loves being grouped with her big sister. She so badly wants to be a "big girl". She's been working really hard on going potty. But she has no consistency, so maybe not  working that hard, but she still tries.  So that is another thing that is keeping Mommy busy, the potty training. (If you have been through it, you know the mommy works just as hard as the potty trainee does).
Anyway another great and exciting busy activity that I have been enjoying so much, is I joined Close To My Heart company. It's a direct sales scrapbooking business! I love it! I already have a craft show coming up in Oct, and my up-line is going to do it with me and I cannot wait! I am hoping to raise enough money to 1 support my scrapping hobby, so it doesn't have to come out of Ki's check, 2 to buy a new fancy camera because mine is so sadly dying a slow and painful death, then 3 to head to the CTMH convention in Dallas this year! I want to go so so so BAD!! But I need to save my pennies, which if you know me, is not that easy!
I am also trying to keep the girls really busy with the library activities and play dates, mall trips to play on the play set, and so on.
Today another great busy activity got added to my agenda. We got a baby cow that needs to be bottle fed 2 times a day because she is supposed to be nursing right now. But she is a twin and her mommy didn't have enough milk for both calves, so sadly she was the one that got the boot. But her previous owner was very good at giving her her bottle and handling her, so she is super sweet and great with people.
My girls love her and I do too. She is so sweet and gentle, I think she will be fun to have around!
So I am responsible for half her feedings and if I had to, I would do all her feedings just to pet her. I know it sounds weird, but I think her and I bonded LOL. Plus she was named Reba and we decided to keep her name. I mean come on, who doesn't love Reba?!
Little baby Reba.
2 months old and weighs about 100 lbs.
 I felt it twice  today when she stepped on both my toes. they are still sore.

The girls are going to be in some dance classes again this next month, and we have birthdays coming up! Rae is going to be 5 in 8 days!! I'm shocked, that I am old enough to have a5 year old girl! Bea will be 3 on Nov 4th! So I'll have a 5 and a 3 year old! How does that happen?
 I'm still crossing my fingers for my 3rd baby and hopefully it will come sometime soon. But until then I need to keep my mind off of it by keeping busy. It's just too depressing to keep thinking about it every single day.
We went to the Temple though and I did get the confirmation that we are not done. So it's just a waiting game for us now, but it is hard because no patience in me at all. Ki on the other hand is super understanding and supportive about the whole thing. He always knew that we weren't done, and I love that. I love that he is so in tune with what Heavenly Father has planned for us and what we need to do to get to where we should be.
I'll continue to stay busy, love my girls, love my husband and care for my family the best I can. I love my life and I'm glad for everything and everyone in it!
