We are having a BOY!

Yes another Boy!  Im so very excited!  I personally have 2 Daughters and 1 son. I also am a mother to my 2 handsom step sons. This will be my second Boy but we will have 4 in the house.. haha LOTS OF BOYS!!!
They really are an adventure I will tell ya. Recently My 1 year old has shown me just how fun they can be. He has been pushing the nipple of his bottle through the bottle and then shaking the milk all over.  Doesnt seem to matter if I tell him NO or take it away so now its time to finish the bottle era for him and graduate to only Sippy cups! yay!


Preparing for a Baby is always fun. No matter if its your 1st 3rd or 6th. This new little life that you are about to bring into this world is an amazing Joy! We are all so very excited to have little Conner Join our Family this winter. Baby should be here anywhere between Nov 30th and Dec 5th.   The only thing that worry's me about Winter babies is the RSV season. My first to children Amber and Talia were born in January and Talia the second child at 2 weeks of age got RSV. Her Father and I practically lived at Primary Children's for 2 weeks while we did our best to pray that she would pull through. It was a very scary time one that yes will help me to be much more cautious of where I take and when I take my little baby out in public. But with 5 other kids at home 4 of them all in school I fear this is going to be harder then it was even then.  So lets all pray we can keep baby Healthy and the Other kids healthy too this winter season. 

I decided that I really need to branch out and be more creative. Learn more things to do and more craft ideas especially for my boys.  So any suggestions and or thoughts be sure to let me know, and for now I will just start watching the CREATE channel again as it has already been too long.

Take care! Happy End of summer to you all!

Life, Choices, and 2 more days of anxiety!

Our Independence day was amazing! The entire weekend was filled with events of love and joy. First my step son was baptized, and what a great experience this was as we were all filled with the spirit and joy of our heavenly father,  Second we enjoyed some paintball fun and atv riding along with fireworks at a friends house later that night. It was amazing to watch the kids and how excited they were to be involved. Next we enjoyed the 4th of July, Parades, BBQs, Family, Friends and of course FIREWORKS! What a blast this was. However I was deeply saddened by how the kids and even adults were more excited to see the kids floats then the troops and groups of service (military, police, firemen etc) at the parade. I believe this generation is loosing is sense of pride for our country and this saddens me and yet gives me inspiration to teach my kids and be more involved in supporting our great country! How lucky we really are to live here and be given all that we have. I love Independence day!

Life is always interesting and often throws curve balls our way. Brian has been struggling to find what he wants to do for the rest of his life and what career is going to make him happy. We THINK he has found that joy. But I will fill you  in on that a little later when things are in motion. In making these choices and discovering how our lives could/will change has brought us out of our thinking boxes! Exciting yet unknown which is always a little scary. But as I once told my sister, if it isn't a little scary it wouldn't be as exciting! I am anxious and happy to take on the changes and challenges that our future brings.

Now on to more current and anxious news. WE find out on WEDNESDAY if we are having a boy or a girl! And I cant WAIT! The ability to know that my baby is healthy is one of the most reassuring and exciting things out there. The bonus is that we will find out the sex of the baby as well which will allow me to plan and prepare. So excited!  Our family is growing and we are all so happy to have each one of our children. I am still amazed at the support we receive from Family and Friends. We are so lucky to have these people in our lives and so truly blessed with their sincere support.  Thank you!  I'm sure in the months to come I may need to lean on my friends and family a little more and I'm so glad to know I will be able to do that because of the great people you each are.   THANK YOU

Sending my Luv
