Will be away...

From the internet for a bit... We are set to move tomorrow and will be spending the week getting settled and unpacking... and getting Jared ready for school.

As soon as we have internet up again you can bet I'll be back, I miss you guys!

Talk with you soon...

Good times, good friends!

So Sunday we hung out with some our friends as sorta a "going away" party... anyway it was just great to hang out with our friends. Annalise got to play with Zac and Karrie's daughter Zaida and she LOVED her. She kept kissing her as you can see if one of the pics. Fun times, good friends!

I am feeling a little better about where we are at with packing and the such. I think last week I was OVERLY stressed because our landlord was coming over to look at things, and well it threw me over the edge. I'm not saying I'm still not stressed out, I mean we are moving in 5 days- AHHHHH! But all's good in the hood.

Alright I gotta go put Dylan to bed and feed Anna, so I'll try and post later!

8 days and counting...

And I have never been more stressed. My head is still spinning and I don't know what I've gotten myself into. I feel angry and frustrated and all I want to do is scream. Everything has put me on edge. Is there an end in sight?

So this is the last week for me here, a lot of things are packed and ready to go. I honestly just feel in limbo and I HATE that feeling. All loose ends need to be finished up this week and then come Sunday the 24th out of here. Now don't get your feelings hurt, I'm not EXCITED to leave anyone I'm just anxious to get done with all this crap and get on with the other things that need to be finished when I get down there.

Uhhh Jared will be starting 1st grade shortly after arriving, are you serious? This is what the next couple of months look like for us:

• Moving to Lacey
• Unpack and get settled
• Cable gets installed
• Jared starts 1st grade
• Start watching Ryker
• My 28th birthday
• Annalise turns 1
• Mike will be 31

And the countless other things that always find their ways into OUR CRAZY LIFE!

50 years!

So I wanted to wish my mother a Happy 50th birthday (her birthday was yesterday)!

All I am gonna say is my mom and I haven't had the best relationship at times. But we've muddled through all the crap and we have a GREAT relationship now. We've spent a lot of time together and it's been great. She has a great ear for listening and I truly love her very much!

To be honest I thought that she was gonna be 49 not 50. But either way I hope she knows that she is very much loved and I am glad we got to spend the day together.

Love you mom!!!

She took 4 steps!

Oh my goodness golly geeeee... Yesterday we went over to our friends house for dinner. I was playing with Annalise on the floor. Well she was standing at the coffee table and reached for me. I put my hands out but put them out far enough so she couldn't just grab them. WELL... she took 1 whole step to me. I screamed and was so happy I danced around the room. No one else saw it so they wanted me to do it again.

Sadie grabbed Anna and we set it up. She did 3 WHOLE steps and she did sooooooooooo good. Everyone but Doug got to see it, and she really really walked. It was so freaking cute. We kept trying and trying but she decided she was to tired and was just to upset to do anything, but I was satisfied with the 4 steps she took on August 10th, 2008!

Where I am or where am I?

So obviously things are a little hectic/crazy right now. We have a lot going on and I may or may not be blogging a whole lot over the next couple of weeks. 1st up is going down on the 15th to get our keys to the house and maybe stash some stuff in the car to bring... The 22nd will be my last day of watching Dylan. Dylan's birthday party is on Saturday the 23rd. We will then be moving Sunday the 24th. Mike has Sunday and Monday off. He then will be staying up north for about 2 weeks wrapping up work here in Lynnwood, while I am down south getting things ready for the family. I have to register Jared for school, unpack the house... and the list continues.

Have I mentioned that I NEED A VACATION!?!

On a side note- Anna is 10 months. Only 2 more months and my baby will be 1. I am sooooooooo sad, but no more babies for me (see previous post). I will have to live my baby syndrome through Tiana and my soon to be niece or nephew once she has the beautiful baby (I can't wait).

Ok so I must go, Dylan will be here soon. Must tend to my daughter and Ryker. I will try to keep you all posted, until then enjoy August!

Spinning, spinning, my head is spinning!

OH MY GOSH! What was I thinking? 4 kids during the week only 2 of them are mine! And mine are the ones driving me up the FREAKING wall!!!



So I have recently said that I would like to have another child and guess what, NOT ANYMORE! I'm done, 2 is enough. This was a good test this week to see if I'd actually really want anymore than the 2 I have, and guess what... I don't.



It hasn't been that bad, but I am sooooooooo tired. Alright this was gonna be longer, but really I am to tired and to hot. Peace out...........
