Valentine's Day

Happy Valentines!! Two days ago!!!

I gave the girls their Valentines right when they woke up. It really got Natalyn moving as she is not much of a morning person and we had to be at church early!!

Nothing interesting happened, just pretty much ate a lot of sweets all day long. Eliana loved her new puppy stuffed animal. I keep calling it "Blackie" because it is a black dog. Natalyn keeps calling it "Pinkie" because the ribbon on the dog is pink. Eliana keeps calling it "Uck"-which is yuck in Elia language.

Natalyn is one step closer to Kindergarten

Natalyn is now pre-registered for Kindergarten. I can't believe it!!! She will be going to the new elementary school, Willowbrook. It's funny how things play out, a few months ago I would have said that the school plan was Elm Tree or Providence. And now my answer is neither of those options. I drove Natalyn by her school last week and she is alittle worried because it obviously doesn't look like a school right now since it is still under construction. I tried to explain to her that soon the building will be "pretty" and there will be grass and a playground. I'm not sure I convinced her though.

Let the tears begin...............

We are moving!!--

Oh yes! We are moving.... eventually. We decided that we would put our house on the market and see what happens. Well, 3 weeks later we have a contract on our house and plan to close Feb 29th. The person who is buying our house plans to use it as a rental property so we are going to rent our own house month to month while we build a new house. I am sooooo happy because we don't have to move twice. We will have to paint the girls' rooms before we move out. Note the very green rooms below, that should be really fun to cover up!!!

Snow day-how original!!

I am a day late at posting the girls out in the snow. I titled this post "Snow Day" like EVERYONE else did on the planet-ha!!

Last winter, Elerz was only a few months old, so this was the first snow that she was actually aware of. When I opened the back door and she walked out, her eyes got so BIG! Her expression was like "Hey-this stuff was not here before!" At first she just walked around and then started mimicking anything Natalyn was doing. Natalyn was an old snow pro and worked on snow angels and construction of a snowman.

Seriously- 2010!!!!

I talked to my cousin today and she just flat out told me to start blogging again. I pulled up the ol'blog and noticed that the last post was in 2010!!! How sad!!! I would love to have the excuse that nothing has happened in the past two years, but as you know, that is NOT TRUE!!!
Here are some highlights of the last few years-(I am totally laughing OUT LOUD as I type this!)
#1-Eliana Rose-baby #2-(whom is now 16 months old)-born Sept 2010
#2-Loss of Scott's grandma (Mee-Maw)-his last grandparent and Loss of my Pappoo.
#3-Celebrated our 10th wedding anniv......................and 11th
#4-Celebrated new cousin-Liam Micah born July 2011
#5-Friends moving away/and or moving on.......
#6 God placing mentors/friends just in the right place at the right time

I'm sure there are more things to list, but I am just going off the top of my head. There are a ton of things going on currently that I will begin to post about in the next few days.....


It's good to be back and until next time...(which won't be two years from now-I promise!!!)

Good reason to update my blog!!!

I went to the Dr's office this morning and found out my c-section is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept 21st at 7:30am. It's nice to know that there is an official end date to the pregnancy. I feel pretty good, I am just really tired! I asked Dr. Sarver if I was anemic and per my blood tests from last month I am not.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATALYN!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATALYN!!!!!

I can't believe my baby is already 3 years old!!!!

Natalyn, you are a very smart and sweet little girl!! Mama and Daddy love you more and more everyday!!!

Last week was a really bad week for me personally. I was really sick, but thankfully felt better on Thursday so we were still able to have Natalyn's little kiddo party at the house. I did have to cancel her family party for the weekend though. We will just have to have another party later on this spring!!!
Natalyn's birthday party theme was "Candyland!" Natalyn had all different kinds of candy to share with her buddies!!
