a NEW blog Post!!

So, tonight I checked my blogs like I always do and I had an urge to write a blog!! I went back to see when the last time I updated on the blog and it was back in March. Holy cow. so much has occured since March! Just a brief update on the past few months.
- tara got married!! we went to georgia for about a week and it was alot of fun but alot of work as well. Mikel wasn't able to go so I went with the two youngest. we got to fly, so Anna liked flying in the airplane!




-clint got married! we went to destin, fl!! we had a family vacation the week after so we got to spend some time on the beach and lots of fun stuff. truely enjoyed the time with aunt and uncle and cousins! it was a great family vacay and Mikel was able to go so it was awesome :) how could you go wrong with being in FL for a week and a half!


-the girls started school in early Aug. they both seem to be loving it!

Mikel just started a new position at work and so far he is loving it. and so am I! he comes home early some days and has a flexible schedule.
Ashlee just started back tball for the fall season! this will be her last season playing tball. her team is going to move up to machine pitch in the spring!! its going to be fun! we are looking forward to the fall and some good things coming up. We are planning on going to the great wolf lodge for fall break. I am also looking forward to our anniversary sunday/mission conference at church in October as well. My little man is growing up so fast. He is talking in his own language with a little bit of english every now and then...hehe! i'm finally starting to see the difference in having a boy. he is a boy for sure! he loves playing in the dirt and throwing things. anything he picks up lately, it gets tossed at his full strength. he has got into trouble several times for throwing toys at his sisters. I think we are both loving the time we are getting to spend together while the girls are at school! he can be such a sweet boy at times if he wants! that's all my rambling for now. I just type my thoughts as they come to me while I'm writing a blog, so you see why its so random! lol.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
It has been a great year for me! Of course, it's had the not so good moments but overall I would say that 2010 was pretty good for me!
2010 Highlights for ME
1. JETT's arrival in April
2. New house in Feb
3. many, many more little blessings

We had a great Christmas and enjoyed spending time with family and friends throughout the season! The girls were so much fun this year as they are getting older and got so excited! Jett surprised me. I didn't think he would have much to do with opening gifts, but he LOVED it! He would just tear into the paper and play and play with it! He didn't really care about what was inside the package but loved the tearing of paper.LOL
This year my cousin Tara was able to come home from Georgia for over 2 weeks. It has been so much fun hanging out with her. I miss her so much and wish one day she would be able to move back home. We grew up together and hopefully one day we will be able to live close again!

I am looking forward to 2011 and all it has in store for us! Back to normal routine in just a few short days and I'm not looking forward to it. As the girls will go back to school, the holidays over, tara goes home, and I go back to work........doesn't sound like much fun to me but its life and look forward to the next year ahead of us as we begin 2011!
Happy New Year!

So its August 31st...

So its August 31st, just one day before the beginning of September! As I sit here thinking of how its already almost September, I look back on this year so far and all I can say is that I am blessed!

At the beginning, back in January I remember feeling down and wanting so much and just trying to be patient and wait on the Lord's perfect timing. I was so very anxious to sell our house and move. April was getting close and we were still in the same house and my baby was going to come soon and would have no nursery. Ever since the shooting just a couple houses down the street and we were awake for it all, Mikel and I didn't really sleep one peaceful night again. I just felt scared and unsecured in that house/neighborhood from November until we finally got a offer on the house at the end of January! Praise the Lord. I look back and am SO very thankful because the way the housing market is right now we could have been still waiting to sell the house. I am so THANKFUL God provided a buyer for that house and we SOLD it without any problems! Although, I do miss my grandma just right around the corner.

Another thing, as I look back at this year so far. I remember looking for houses the next weekend after we got the offer. The price range we started looking in, I found NOTHING I would be happy with and thankful I didn't settle with one of those houses. After looking the whole weekend, I had an eye on 2 houses in my neighborhood now that at the time was over our budget. I decided I just wanted to go look at them so we did and the minute I walked into our house now, Mikel and I knew this was the house! Praise the Lord we were able to afford it and are loving it and still amazed at how God works because I would never imagine I would be living here. As a child, I lived in apartments, trailers, very small houses and so even through my house today isn't huge, I feel VERY blessed to be living here and my heart is so thankful because its in a great area and we are in a great school district!

Then soon after the move, my little baby boy came along! He is the BEST baby ever!! I am so thankful God gave him to Mikel and I as well! He completes our family!
So there you go, just a little bit of how thankful I am today as we begin the fall of the year. Thus far, God has blessed me and pray the rest of the year goes as great! I know its getting ready to get better too, cause its almost my birthday on Sept 7!! Yea, I will be 26! LOL
I can't wait to decorate for the fall in our new house!!! I love decorating for fall and Christmas! my 2 favorites!

Summer is Over....

Summer is offically over for Ashlee. She has now started kindergarten!! Her school has ALL DAY kindergarten! She is loving it. She has already made several new friends and seems to be adjusting to it well! She does have 2 small complaints...lol she doesn't like "brain break" or as she says it is "nap time" and she says the cafeteria food line smells so she won't eat in the cafeteria food and demands she take her own lunch everyday.
I am adjusting to Ash being gone the majority of the day. We leave for school at 8:30 and go to pick her up at 3:30 so pretty much I feel she is home for just a few hours before she has to go to bed :(
Anna and I both miss having our Ashlee around the house during the day. Although, it is nice not having the constant fighting and arguing between the sisters.
Jett is doing very well. He is 4 month already. Time really does pass so fast. At his 4 month check which was 2 weeks early he weighed 14 pounds and 2 ounces. He is doing well! He is now rolling over and reaching for things to put in his mouth. He is an amazing good baby! hardly ever does he really cry out. sleeps through the night....just a all around great baby. 3rd time is the CHARM! LOL
