Kody is so happy they finally moved into a bigger house. This house is still two stories, with a finished basement and two and a half baths. There are five bedrooms in the house, and the kitchen is extremely roomy. It wasn't very easy, because Robbie is only five months old and extremely needy. Diana helps when she doesn't have Cameron to deal with too. In all it's a very difficult situation trying to get the new house settled with two children who need constant attention. Cameron is starting to get potty trained, because it's just too expensive to have two in diapers at the same time. He's still too young, in Kody's eyes, to go to preschool, but she's teaching him, through games, certain things like colors and shapes. Kody and Oliver are planning on throwing a little birthday bash for Cameron. All Kody's and Oliver's cousins are invited, and of course so are their brothers and Kody's parent. With the new house came a huge backyard and they're going to rent a couple of tents to put over the large area, just in case it's too hot or if it rains. Cameron wants everything and anything, he's a very easy to please boy, though he loves being read to so books seem to be the best choice for everyone. In other news, Kody's brother Jeff just announced that his new wife is pregnant. Kody thinks it's a terrible idea. She figured her brother could do so much better, but Jeff and Kody never had a great relationship so she wouldn't tell him that to his face. It seems that Diana is very content to live with Kody and Oliver, which has sparked many arguments between the couple yet again. Oliver thinks it's about time his mother finds a place of her own, and Kody doesn't have the heart to push the woman away. Because of this, Kody has taken to sleeping in the baby's room, with Cameron and Robbie because she doesn't want to be in the same room with him, afraid of what she might do in front of him to show him how weak she really is. Cameron adores Brody. He finally acknowledged the cat's existance and Brody couldn't be happier to have a playmate, it seems. Besides, Kody and Oliver are always too busy with Robbie and Cameron to pay much attention to Brody other than to feed him and clean his litter box. That gets old after a while.

We finally moved to a new house. Vicky's lovin' it... Except when it gets dark. Then she will NOT sleep by herself. She usually climbs into bed with Momma and Daddy but sometimes we send her to Nonna's room if she's being too loud. We tried moving her in the middle of the night but then an hour or so later she wandered back into our room. I think part of the reason might be that Nate gets more attention than her. Don't get me wrong she loves him but she loves being the center of attention as well. On that note we have started potty training! And she's doing so well! Again I think she enjoys the attention and the fact that everyone treats her like a million bucks when she goes in the "big gurl poddy". We have not tried to send Vicky to preschool or daycare because I'm not working and Kathy is at home to help. Vicky does enjoy educational activities, so I try to incorporate them in our day to day life. We are still in the works about Vicky's second birthday party. We are thinking of having a tea party. I haven't asked Vicky what she wants as a present, but it will probably be stuffed animals or some kind of doll. She's totally in too being a girly girl. Vicky has a two new friends named Nora and Teddy (Theodore) from gymnastics class. They are twins and super adorable!!! Vicky's also friends with my godchildren Peter (he's Vicky's age) and Natalie (She's a baby). Kathy doesn't seem to want too leave, and right now I'm okay with it. She's very helpful to me. Oh and big news Laura and Tim are having a baby! I really don't approve of it, because they aren't married and besides I really despise Laura. Laura now wants to get married but Tim doesn't. But whatever happens I'll still support Timmy and the baby! Jeff and I still haven't talked about more. But I still long for another little bundle of joy. Of course Maggie doesn't she doesn't like when Vick picks her up or steps on her tail. Thankfully she's declawed
