Continued updating and I even include picitures this time

Honestly I cant wait until Ive caught up with updating. Tired of talking about the past. 

However, yesterday in Sunday school our lesson was on keeping a journal. Made me feel better I started the bloggy up again. At least for the kids sake.

 Typing is more practical for me instead of pen and paper. 

Finally updates to March. Here in our condo. Not huge. Cozy. Making it my own. One step at a time. March hasn't busy. AT ALL! With the unpacking and cleaning Ive hardly had time to decorate. Its taking me for longer than I had anticipated.

Note to self: Walmart sucks at matching and mixing  paint. NEVER go there again. Our once envisioned dark grey walls now look like "an old blueberry threw up on here"says the mister. Id post pictures of the bedroom, but you dont wanna see it. The room at the end where no one goes into and everything gets shoved in there. Yup thats ours. For now!

I will show you my kitchen though!

See? Also seee the craft mess on the table. Ignore that. But I love it. Its where I spend most of my time. 

Ready for picture over load? Really thats all anyone REALLY cares about right?

Xander, sis, and me. After our swim in the pool. Oh how they love to make mom take pics with them

Xander and my cute 7 month old nephew Joseph. Xander is my little hear of gold kid. Whiny, but man this kids heart is bigger than most peoples.

 

Little stinker of a kid Zac. I really do have a major hot head on my hands. Worst temper and has magic hands. How?  Into everything and magically things disappear when he's around. Anyone wanna babysit him now?

 This month my sister came to visit me for the weekend. She brought her month old baby Xavier with her. And I ate it up. I {heart} this little boy...

 Xander, Zac, and Alex (Paulas little girl) Spring is finally here! And feeding the ducks was sooo much fun!

More pics to come....

Continued...

Long post. So if you are going to check my grammar and all that..STOP READING. When I write- I don't care. I just type. 

Oct/November: Our close friends ended up getting a condo in another town right before she had her cute baby. When we went over there Alan fell in love with the clubhouse which includes a pool, hot tub, work out room, etc. And it's sooo much of a step up from the little basement apartment we were living in. Its not a huge place (the condo) but boy did we wanna jump on it. After all, there was no way we'd be committing to a regular house while Alan is going to school and us not knowing where we will be in 5 years. Long story short, we ended up settling on this condo. Smelly, pet urine infested carpet. Worst smell ever. Its only cosmetic...right? AND it was right below our friends!!! We kept our purchase on the D.L. really not wanting to cry wolf just in case nothing worked out, but 2 days before Christmas we got the word that it was all ours. Oh I couldn't get out of that basement soon enough!!!!! (Oh I almost forgot, there are pictures of the condo from when we looked at it on my FB if you haven't seen it yet-viewers beware)



December: Blah blah blah. Waiting. Packing. Cleaning. Christmas. Half Christmas? Barely felt like one. A. This year the snow was at an all time low. I HATE, no seriously....H-A-T-E snow, however doesn't everyone dream of a white Christmas? Honestly, I'm suprised the tree even made it up. Our little stinker Zac tore down most of the ornaments anyway, so the poor thing looked hopeless (the tree, not the child). B. Our abode being half packed was awful. If you've moved. You feel me.Oh and I had a birthday. Turned 25. Not so old. Totally forget how old I am ALL THE TIME. Never thought that would happen.

January: Had to be out of the basement apartment by the end of January so we got to go move in with my in laws for a few weeks. Dreaded it. Ended up not being so bad. Actually kind of nice.....oh she helped me soo much with the kids. Makes me second guess the whole "sister wife" thing hmmmmm....

February: And we get word to move the weekend before Valentines. I'll spare you boring moving and cleaning pee carpet details. Needless to say it is end of March now and we are STILL working on that.


More to come. Again. Keep reading. Oh how I love to keep you hanging. Oh shoot I forgot to add pictures to this one. Makes for an awesome post later.

Another one of those cliche posts about catching up

Seems like the start of my last couple blogs have been all about "catching up on my little family" While I seriously think it'd be dumb to do yet another one of those, it is a must. While I'm committed to blogging once a week again. First thing I should really do is update our picture up there. Way outdated.
Last I wrote was October. Soooo much has happened and I got caught up in "life" so to speak. I left blogging world for a while to live the life I write of.
October 18th: Sissy's birthday. Her 5th. Arrow to my heart strings. Baby girl is growing up. Her party wasnt a big one, but her princess cake made it for her. How I wish I would have blogged about it when it happened so that I could write down memories from it and what she got. All I remember is the cake. Little lady was beyond pleased.

October 22:  I recall this date with bittersweet feelings. Woke up that morning thinking my lucky number is 22. Not sure why I remember that. By this time I was around 8 weeks pregnant. Could be more excited. I hadn't really told anyone but a few friends and family. I usually shout it to the whole world but something inside of me kept it mostly to myself. Later that day I was feeling weird and my back and stomach hurt. You see, I have had miscarriages before so I am very paranoid. I called my midwife for some reassurance and she has suggested that if I feel I need to I should go to the ER just to make sure. While I really didn't wanna cry wolf- something inside me said go. So I called Alan and made him come home from work and off we went to Payson. After getting some tests done and given morphine through my Iv ( best stuff ever by the way!) the Xray/ Ultrasound guy came in to get me. Lo and behold it was the same man who wheeled me in not less than 2 years earlier when I found out the bittersweet news that we had lost a baby I didn't know I had but we still had a strong heartbeat from another. Drugged I lightly made a joke of him being cursed. He made a joke I cant even remember. Something like he hopes he has good news. I was confident, after-all, last time we left with something....right? After getting an external US he said he couldn't see anything but that maybe it was too early to so an internal Ultrasound was needed. Yahoo. Glad I was drugged. Again the screen was blank. Nothing. An empty uterus. Long story short, tears were cried (drugs never help any as it is) and slowly we went home. Confused. Lost. Hurt. I don't even know. The 3rd miscarriage. I have come a long way since then. After all it has been months. 5 months exactly actually in a few days. Still no success on making another little one. The "fertile Leah" is now.... feeling very infertile. This makes 7 months of trying to have a baby but zero luck. I, however, am feeling extremely blessed. I can say I actually have children. 3 to be exact. 3 little blessings.  Some can't even have kids. I am beyond blessed with family and friends. I have come to realize that things happen when they are supposed to. The LORD is really in control.

MORE TO COME! KEEP READING!!!!
