Carving pumpkins

So Monday night we decided to carve the pumpkin,yes a little later than normal for us but life is as crazy as it gets right now with school and work so here are my kids and husband making a mess!!!!!

Update: Just for Amy!!!

Im so horrible at getting on the computer to update my blog, but I have been thinking about my little preggo friend Amy and how she is always telling me to update this little thing so I figured I would give it a shot since I have a moment!!!

I attended Kaylin's field trip to the pumpkin patch on Wednesday and I must say Mrs. Dowdy You are amazing !!!!!!!! I couldnt do it on a daily basis. The five little ones I had to watch over were enough! I cant even imagine 17 everyday.
Here are some pictures of the field trip and our day......

Kaylins Gymnastics

She attended her awards ceremony for the end of the year ( before graduating on to the next team level). She is now in Level 3 which is the first year they compete....kinds scary for mom !!!

Here are a few pics from her awards......
Keep in mind the little girl Jenna, who is standing with her is the same age as Kaylin, check out the size difference, and sad thing is Jenna is little for her age!!!!!

Update on the House

Well We got it!!!!!!! Move in on the 24th, So I have been packing boxes and boxes of stuff!!!! Just wanted to give you a heads up..............

By the way I am putting up pics of brysons bday and my moving boxes!!!!!

Brysons Birthday

Well it was a truly eventful day. It was Bryson's 2nd Birthday. It doesnt seem possible that my baby is two. Boy oh boy, he is sooo infatuated with John Deere and he got nothing but tractors and more tractors for his birthday. His favorite present was the Motorcycle chopper power wheel he got!!!! He would not get off of it, finally I had to tell him it was "night night time" for his "bike, bike". I will post pics once I get home from work.!!!! Toooo cute

April Fool's

Soooo yes today is April Fools Day, but some of you dont know its also my anniversary. We have been married for 3 years today. I know its funny, people are always like "what you got married on April Fool's day, thats crazy". He will never forget it and we always say we are fool's in love !!!!
For many people its the day to go out and get someone really good with a joke, so today I have decided to play one on my husband, but I will have to come up with a clever one for our anniversary!!!!!!

My house

So for those of you who dont know we are in the process of selling our house and buying a new house. Boy has this been a crazy event. We sold our house to a man who owns a construction company and we are buying his new home just built. Basically we are trading homes, only he is going to rent out our current home. This is the first time this has happened with my realtor and mortgage company. WE have literally jumped through some hoops to get here. Now we are just waiting. I hate this part. We have a close date of the 24th of April, and we have half our house in boxes, but I am soooo scared to pack up more and then something fall through. Mortgage companies have become sooo strict with lending they are asking for everything but the color of your underwear, and we arent done yet so that maybe coming!!!

Please pray for us that everything works out so we can move and get a bigger house. I will not know what to do with more than one toliet in the house, we currently have only 1 bathroom, the new house has 2.5 and one ready in the basement, so possibility of have 3.5.......thats a toliet for everybody!!! Im usually dancing outside the bathroom waiting for someone to get out. Without this guy that is buying our home, this would not be possible !!! We would still be here.
So again please please please pray for this to work out and I will post pics once we get there!!!!
Thanks for listening to my worries.

How much it means

Isnt it funny how now that you have kids you dont realize truly what it means to just use the bathroom in peace..........it doesnt happen. I dont ever get to sit down and pee for two seconds without having some little person peeking in on me like I am running away or maybe the toliet will make me disappear.....who knows. ...

I have forgotten what its like to sleep in, or sleep for that matter, anymore I would take two hours over nothing, but most of the time I settle for nothing minus 85 hours and counting. (no really!)

I have forgotten what its like to go to the grocery store without having a little one in the buggy or grabbing things off the shelf......driving me crazy!!!

I have forgotten what it is like to not pick up toys, clothes, and make 3 beds every morning, do 3 loads of laundry in a day and still find some sanity left in me to get a shower and actually fix my hair ( and atleast hope for the makeup).

Whats even funnier is that I wouldnt trade any of this for all the money in the world .......

Friends

Well today I read a certain blog that caught my eye. It touched my heart and made me cry. For years I had never known why we grew apart, why things ended so suddenly, and what happened. Now it all makes sense, 10 years later, it all makes sense. We were best friends, inseparable, probably would have shared underwear if you let us, we even had the same birthday. Got into way more things that we ever should have !!!! But then it stopped and our lives went different ways. We went to school and got married and had kids..........but not together, not this time. Never knew why. I always thought about you and you never left my heart. I still love you just like you were my bestest friend more than a decade ago.

I hate finding out things about someone when you cant do anything about it at all. I hate to see people suffer, hurt, cry, or be in pain. I just want to say ...............
I'm sorry Amy .................................... love ya!
