I got this off of Tirsa's blog and thought it would be a fun challenge. So here we go! I pledge to send something fun and worth the wait!
Pay It Forward …..So, here’s how it works: the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, some homemade goodies from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or copy and paste like I did). Then come back, let me know you’re going to play and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your goodies! Please submit in an e-mail or on the comment, your address, if I don’t have it already. Remember that only the first 3 comments will receive a gift from me, so be quick! Have fun!

Introducing Chloe (sorry Ali, according to Aiden it was that or Wolverine)
Well, some of you have met our newest member of the family already, and some of you have not, so I thought I would introduce little Chloe to everyone. Chloe was brought into our little family on the 16th of February.
The choice to bring another member into our little family is one that Sarah and I had been discussing for sometime. We were both a little uncertain about the additional responsibility that would inherently come with bringing Chloe into our home, but she had such a sweet personality that she immediately melted our hearts and cuddled her furry little way into our lives.
Aiden loves her almost as much as he loves Laila, although he has learned very quickly that unlike Laila, Chloe will bark at him if he is too rough. Because she is still just a little joey, we have a lot to get used to. And for those of you who are still wondering what I am rambling about, Chloe is our baby sugar glider. Our new family pet. Here are a few pictures that I took today so everyone can see her.
Typically I will take Chloe to school with me each day so that Sarah doesn't have to worry about Aiden trying to play with her cage, or squeezing the life out of her. After I get off, Chloe will stay at home while I am at Golds Gym working the evening shift. Typically this will be after Aiden is already asleep and so Sarah can play with Chloe and get familiar with her while I am gone. I think that I may be a bit more excited about Chloe than Sarah is, although she is a very good wife and is willing to indulge my various crazy whims.
We missed having Dot, our old kitty, around and since we cannot have pets here in the townhouses that we live in, at least not traditional pets, we have been trying to figure out a viable option. We both wanted something but I was not to big on the shedding and stuff that come with cats and dogs-though had the kitten been more cute, I probably would have gotten it for Sarah on Valentines Day.
Anyway, I am very excited about our new pet, and I have had a blast showing her off to everyone that I work with. I have had a few people freak out about her, two girls that I work with at Golds were especially weird about her, that is why Chloe cant go to Golds with me as well, but my students all think that she is the coolest pet ever and all they want to do is hold her. She has peed and pooped on a few of them, it has provided me with a great measure of enjoyment.
Right now all she does is climb on things, in about another week (hopefully) she will start to get a bit more brave and will begin to jump and glide (that will be awesome). She is a very sweet little girl (Thank you Alison and Troy) and I look forward to introducing her to all of you in the near future. So, for those of you who don't take hints, come and visit, or we may just stop by to see you.
Cheers,
Price

Move mountains!
I just wanted to share something that I have been focusing on lately! I am reading The Power of Positive Thinking, by Norman Vincent Peale. It is wonderful and I am enjoying the learning experience. There is a lot I need to work on to change my thinking process, but I am working on it and that's a good start. Anyway, I wanted to share an experience we had this week.
I was reading and Dr. Peale referred the reader (me) to Mark 11:23," Whosoever shall say unto this mountain be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith." To top that off, Liam and I are reading "Where the Red Fern Grows in school. I don't know if you remember that book or not, but it is definately one to revisit and read often. Billy the little boy, has had his first coon hunt and his dogs have treed the coon in the biggest sycamore tree in the river bottoms. (the tree behind the detwilers house is a sycamore, they are huge) Billy wants to give up, but decides that he owes it to his dogs to finish the job. He is exausted after three days of chopping and can't hold his ax for all the blisters on his hands. He turns to the Lord and asks for strength to finish the job. A strong wind stirs the top of just the sycamore tree and soon the top overbalances the bottom and the tree is felled. I look at the challenges that we face as the mountain talked about in Mark or the sycamore tree. With God all things are possible and we can move mountains, we just have to do our part, give it our all and put our faith in the Lord and he will provide a way. I testify that this is true. I've seen it happen just this week in our lives and I am grateful! Paying off our car is small, but it reminds me that as I keep working on it, the Lord will help my chip away at those mountains and provide the means whereby we can move them.! I love you all.

Movies, ballets and sick days
This has been an exciting week for us! We paid off our van! Yes! Five years of payments are now over with and I am a happy camper. The other night ago, Liam decided to follow in his dad's footsteps and direct a movie. The kids got all dressed up, Liam wrote a script and then they filmed. Unfortunately, there was no battery and it wasn't discovered until bedtime, but I got some cute photos anyway!
We also took a trip to the library. The girls wanted ballet hair and Isa wanted to dress up just like a ballerina. I really do need to get her some lessons. Em is showing interest and asking about taking ballet as well. Funny girls. The ballet was Ferdinand the Bull and the costumes were designed to be Pablo Picasso style. It was so fun!
Lastly, the last two days have been full of laundry and buckets and soothing sweet girls. Isa and Emery weren't feeling well at all. I love their pink cheeks and am happy to say that both girls are keeping everything down and feeling much better!

One big Bed!!!!
So Tim and I decided that it was time to get a new bed. 
After purchasing it we began to worry that maybe it wouldn't fit. It's quite the monster!
These are the pieces that didn't make the cut...just not enough room in our little trailer.
We also had to improvise by inverting the canopy portion of the bed, we just couldn't get it to fit the right way
The was just us enjoying the new posturpedic mattress (it's the generic version of a tempurpedic). Yay for sleeping in comfort!
According to Jesse, all we need is twinkle lights! 
We also purchased a vaccuum. This one is supposed to be really good for pet hair, which should help out with Chewy's shedding problem :) It's fun to be settling into our new home. The only sad thing is our first night with a new bed and I have to work a grave shift so Tim gets the whole thing to himself!!!!
