Lots of Things going on.....

The days are going by faster than we like....but I wanted to take a minute to recount a few events. Tim is the forever student, studying both Chinese and his military Major's school (4 test on Monday....2 to go!) But don't worry his makes time for basketball! Sadly he would have more time, but Air Force can't pull it together and lost to that team Wyoming. Now he didn't have to make time to for a game, but he is keeping track of all the other games to see if somehow Air Force can still make it in to the Big Dance.

I haven't had time to tell a few stories about Grammy and Gramps. First, we will say how much we loved having them here. Tonight as we were reading Adayla's Book of Mormon stories, we were talking about Zormamites and the Rameupmtom....she kept saying the Grammeupmtom. It was cute. We asked Adayla what her favorite part of having G&G here and she said, "Dancing with them in the morning!" She would sneak upstairs and get her toy (the steering wheel with transportation noises that Kevin and Spencer used to play with) then push buttons and they would sing the song and do actions with her. Her favorite song is ....Dinah blow your horn....blow your horn and so every morning they would blow their horns together! Adayla also like to pick who was going to say the prayer....everytime it was Grammy!! (which they said was a good balance because Julie always picks Gramps)

We didn't go too many places because they had lived here for such a long time before, they had seen most of the sites. We had leisurely breakfasts and lunches. We drove to thier old houses and they were surprised to see how much had changed. Their were roads where there used to be houses and/or trees. We went to check out Springfield Mall which was The shopping place back then (not so much anymore...). We went to the old ward they left on their mission to. They (including Tim) were able to see many old faces and do a bit of catching up. They all have many fond memories about Lakeridge. We love Grammy and Gramps and added a few more fond memories of our time with them!

Today was Adayla's last day of dance class....: ( She loved every bit about it. She loved her teaches, her friends, the songs, and the dancing. She followed right along with everything her teacher did, some of the girls would get side tracked easily. Adayla would listen and do what Ms. Rachel said...now if we could just get her to do that at home. Her favorites new things she learned were Step-Kick and flex your toes-point your toes. It was good for her to be part of a group, we'll find something later for her to join!

We were late to dance class because Tally had to go to the doctor this morning. Her crooked head is back. It started about 3 days ago. (We noticed it when she was about 4 1/2 months old and took her to the doctor, we did some exercises and it healed very quickly.) So I was shocked to see it back again. The doctor called it Torticollis, essentially she has a bump on one of her muscles and so then she favors to hold her head to the right. So we will do some physical therapy and hopefully it will heal for good. She definitely does not like anyone messing with head, we are supposed to do it about 1 time every hour.

Tally is no longer complete fang woman, she is starting to get her middle teeth on top!! We are going to miss that smile! She continues to eat and eat. She only weighed just under 18 pounds today and the doctor, so she isn't as big as you'd expect! My friend, Crystal has a daughter a few months younger than Tally and gets the biggest kick out of watching that girl put the food away! She did spit something out this week for the first time, we gave her a bit of Tylenol to break a fever, and she wouldn't swallow it for anything. She only has 2 more weeks of the really good food ie. ME! She does her little milk sign, but when she decides it is time to nurse she comes up and starts beating on my chest. Hopefully Little Grandma and Grandpa enjoy her!

Just a few short blurps:
We went to the post office on Monday to apply for the girl's passports....7 people in front of us...we were only there 3 HOURS! (the girls were troopers!!)
Adayla got 2 more da zhen (shots) on Wednesday....not as fun this time, she barfed all over herself afterwards. We had many more errands to do and we were a ways from the house...so she got a new outfit.
We are getting sad as Binx Kuehne has less than a week before his two year vacation to the Waldmanns starts.
We applied for our Chinese visas on Wednesday, the realization that we are moving very soon is coming!
We are prepping for the move, getting rif of this and that, the big project for the week was getting the green car listed. Hopefully we sell it before we go to China in a few weeks.
The girls continue to delight and entertain us!!
