My family

God has Blessed me with so much!! I have a wonderful loving husband, adorable daughter full of personality,
2 babies in heaven, and one very active little guy on the way.  That is only the beginning, I have my dad, mom, brother, and sister just a few blocks away. And the blessings keep coming, I have my Mom T. Dad T, brother (Jay) two blocks away . And.... My brother and sis in law and their little girl just about half a mile away!!!! I am so so so so blessed to have so much family around! I love it!! I didn't get to grow up around my family, ( grandparents, aunts uncles, cousins) So having so much family here around my kids just blesses my heart! Kami loves all of her family, ever person is very dear to her. It is so often that during the day at random times I hear her ask where a family member is, then she will ask if she can see them :)
Kami and I were  able to visit my Grandparents, aunts and cousins this past week and boy we loved it!!! This week Chad's uncle Rick and wife Debbie are here visiting :) YAY!! and in a few weeks my Grandparents are traveling up to visit!! I am so blessed!!!!!!!!
I hope all my family knows just how precious you are to me!!!!!!I love you all!

Pretty Princess Bride

Today we went to a book store to get Kami a book.  She is very into pink and princesses.  Well we had a bonus buy today, for the same price as a book I was able to get a book and a few dress up items. she loves the vale and the ring especially.  She has been walking around the house with them on and dancing, singing here comes the bride. :) Oh i remember the days when I would play dress up like I was preparing for my wedding and looking like a princess. I remember the day that I married the love of my life and I felt like a princess. When chad asked me to marry him, the day he was on his knee, he told me I was his princess, and asked if I would be his princess forever.  I will always remember thinking ...I truely got my prince charming!!!

oh, one time kami saw a wedding picture in my room and she says," its you and you are a princess"

Coffee time !!

One of Daddy and Kami's favorite thing to do is make coffee. Well Kami's is to make it and Daddy's is to drink it. :)  Chad got this new coffee maker with our tax money this year it is a Keurig. Every time Chad says I want some coffee, Kami hops up gets her stool and prepares to help. Its pretty cool, she knows how to run that thing better than I do. In this picture she is stirring it for him with such etiquette, ( notice her fingers )

YAY Baby clothes

A friend gave me a box full of baby boy clothes!!! They were all so cute!!! I wish I could show you in these pictures just how excited kami was to look through the box! She is very excited to have a buddy come :) (that is what she calls all boys, they are buddies ) 

So we are getting ready for our little man to come. I still need to hit a few garage sales in order to get some boy blankets, nb and 0-3 month stuff :) but don't need much now!! YAY

Mouse hunter!!!!

Last night Chad and I were up working of stuff for his work at the dining room table. I heard a strange noise and knew instantly that it was one of those nasty rodents!!! Chad went to the basement got his bb hand gun and had me load it. Did i mention I hate HATE mice!!!!  Well, that noise went away for a few min, Chad opened the cabinet under the sink and nothing. So I started back working on my numbers when I look up and see this nasty thing run across the floor. I jumped on to the table so fast I didn't think I could move that fast being almost 24 weeks pregnant! Chad chased that thing around the dining room until it ran out the door into our shoe area! So Chad started shooting at it and got rid of it. I must say I believe my husband is my hero!!!!
I bet I know what I'm gonna buy kami for her birthday now! ( a cat!!!!)

Building a Bird Feeder!

Today we went to Lowes and made a bird feeder. Kami and I were so excited when I found out that they were doing this. I had wanted to buy her one because she loves birds so much!!! So now were are waiting for the pink paint to dry!

Saving my family money!!!!!

Ok some of you may be thinking what an odd picture for a family blog!!! well I just have to share with you something really awesome God has taught me!!! I have learned the fun game of couponing! I know some people consider it extreme however I consider it my part time job. I have a stock pile of toiletries under my bathroom sink that I paid no more that 2 dollars for one item and most are free!  I have a laundry detergent and 5 fabric softners that I got free! ( full sized items btw) I love being able to spend the money my hubby makes wisely or atleast save us money so that we may be able to go out to eat every blue moon or get kami something special every now and then.  Now when I coupon I don't go crazy and just buy something because I have a coupon for it!  I am the type of couponer who gets it if it is something my family uses, or needs or we will be using it oneday soon or it if will make the perfect gift. :) I have learned so much and am so thankful that God has allowed me to have my time on bed rest to discover the true way to coupon. 
This month I am going through my house and clearing the clutter!!! I figured after  5 years of living here we have lots of clutter that we don't use. may be we can make some money off it to purchase things we will need for our little man who is coming soon.
Speaking of my little man, I am sorry for not posting a picture of him. The ultra sound tech wasn't able to get a very good one cuz we must've caught Baby while he was trying to sleep what an interesting app! I have never had some one try to shake the baby to get him to move! Any who if you want to see a pic of him you can look back at my older posts I have one of him at 13w. :) also I am going to try to get Chad to take a pic of me at my just past half way mark today ! That is if my pregnancy brain doesn't take over and I don't forget again :)
Have a wonderful week!

Learning to Cook

One of my favorite things to do is cook. I love it, it is my form of relaxing :) very much my hobby. Well I have a little girl who wants to be just like mommy, so needless to say she spends lots of time in the kitchen with me.

Here are a few pictures of her helping me cook :)

We were pretty excited that our pie turned out. We also made some 7layer bars that daddy loved and started digging right into when he got home :)

Baby Boy

Well I am at my half way point in my pregnancy and I went to the doctor yesterday and found out that I am having a little BOY. We are very excited, not only that we will have a little man in our house ( I am hoping he looks just like his daddy did when he was little), but that the Lord has taken away my pregnancy issues!  The ultra sound tech had a hard time getting him to move, but after a long time of digging and shaking the guy got all of the pictures he needed to confirm that every thing looks good. My bleeds are gone, my placenta is in the right spot and fully attached. He is sizing a whole week larger, I am 20w1d, he is 21w1d, I will find out soon if this will change my due date. YAY so exciting.
I am so sorry I have not been able to update with pictures these past few days, I am having problems getting my computer to work with me. So as soon as I can I will get up some Easter pictures, ultra sound pictures and my halfway pregnancy pictures..
Have a wonderful day!!!

Daddy Bought us Flowers

A few weeks ago Kami was sick with this terrible cold going around, and I wasn't feeling too great either till I got these.


Daddy brought kami some too however she only wanted the pink ones and that made her very happy!!
