3 more months.

6 months a long and 3 more to go. I swear it's a boy if my intuition tells me anything. My sweets craving is back ten fold. Give me lucky charms, ice cream, and Oreo's double stuffed dipped in milk. My mouth is watering just writing it. I feel quite big, but don't feel like I look that big. I'm really feeling the extra weight now during my sleep and especially going up and down stairs. I am definitely in a don't touch me mode. Which is not like me because I am normally very affectionate person. It's not obsessive I still want to hug and comfort my kids, or give Travis a kiss good by, but I that is enough. I have heart burn and am starting to feel my energy drop a little more every week. The count down is on. I'm ready to meet the little guy and not be pregnant anymore.

Helping out at Grandmas.

Fortunately my mom got a new job, unfortunately after her first week there she slipped in their bathroom and broke her wrist. She is having surgery on Monday and will be fine, but the Holidays are probably one of the worse times to lose you dominant hand. No wrapping presents, no putting up lights, and many other delights and responsibilities are missed out on if your not able to use your hand. So me and the boys have pitched in and helped my dad do the things my mom takes care of, like putting up the tree. Once the tree was assembled and the lights were on we let the boys have at it. They had a blast putting all the ornaments on. I can be a bit of a perfectionist, so normally having clumps of ornaments on the tree would bother me, but instead I think "oh there is one of Hayden or Coy's favorite spots." We are looking forward to doing our own tree this weekend.

From There to Here.

From this one bedroom living quarters at Grandma Ree Ree's to our own home watching the first snow from our new front windows. We are so grateful for our space and now that the house is settled in, pictures are being hung and soon our home will radiate with Christmas red and greens. Travis and I slept in the bed with the orange and white blanket, Coy slept on the bed on the floor, and Hayden slept on the other bed. We were grateful to be together for the almost 3 months we were there. It was an experience we will never forget.

Moved In.

Well we finally made it into our new house. I was a complete nightmare and we are glad it's over and so happy to be in our own home again. We are still settling in with little organization project, but all the big stuff is in it's place. There are pictures of our new house on an old post called Hopeful New House in the October section. Sorry for the delayed update it took the phone company over a week to set us up with phone and Internet. I sent out an email with all of our contact information, if you didn't get one and would like out contact information please let me know.

Opportunity Knocks

Last Sunday Travis was extended a calling that he accepted and this week was the first week the responsibilities started. We are so excited for this opportunity and feel it will only bring more great blessings into our lives. He was called as the Second Counselor in the Branch Presidency. His blessing was so strong and wonderful. We now know for sure we were led to where we are today and we are on the right track in the Lords plan for us. I am so proud to have a husband like Travis. He continues to light up every room he walks in and continues making people fall in love with him where ever he goes just by being himself. May we all be so fortunate to have someone like Travis in our lives, but I feel especially fortunate to have him as my husband. We love you Travis.

Delayed

Despite what I told every one we did not close on our house yesterday. We were suppose to be moving today but yesterday about and hour and a half before we were suppose to sign we got a phone call saying it was not going to happen because no one ordered the survey of the land. The communication between our processor and our lawyer is awful to the point that I'm doubtful they'll even make the the new date set, which is the 7th. Everyone cross your fingers because we all really need our space back. Although I am grateful for my parents generosity, we have all had it. So here's to the 7th and finally having our own house again.

Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween! My little Dalmatian and Dinosaur were so excited to go out. Between the church trunk or treat a couple of days earlier and actual trick or treating they got a slew of candy. We went the old fashioned way. I'm a sucker for tradition I feel it's so important for my kids to experience walking in the dark, seeing all the other kids on the street, and knocking on every door lit. Both of the boys held my hand tightly the whole time and listened very well, so what could have been a nightmare turned out to be a very pleasant night. And on top of it all I don't think I have ever had such a beautiful night to trick or treat in. Hayden actual was starting to sweat by the time we got home. The best part was when Daddy drove by on one of our last houses and hurried home. Next thing we know we see him walking towards us so he could meet us for out last stop. This is the first Halloween Travis was able to see the kids. In the past I have had to stop at his store on some other Halloween party night so he could see the kids in their costumes but this year he got to enjoy seeing the kids actually trick or treating even if it was for only one house. We had a great Halloween and are looking forward to many more great ones like this.
