In case you don't already know we are having a boy!

This week I'm 22 weeks now and I feel him moving and kicking all the time! 

Hes very active right at meal times and right before bed Joel thinks he just likes to eat and stay up late like his parents, but I just think its a coincidence,  but a funny one!

Ultra sound

ultra sound tech made a guess about a week ago at our 14 week ultrasound! I can't wait to find out for sure at 18 weeks but Its really given me some thing to think about until then!

So just feeling very Happy to be a mom just wanted to share some photos of Adelynn, in no particular order...

Great news!

OK so I have been away a terribly long time and for good reason too!

So if anyone out there cares to know, Joel and I moved again! We are back in AZ now in a apartment/duplex. ha ha its a very tiny split house that feels more like an apartment with a small back yard. Anyways we moved because we felt like it was the right time even though we had just moved into another house for a short time. Joel is back in school and we are dirt floor poor again lol that has been a very hard thing for me to adjust to again especially with a little girl now I have to do everything so cheaply and eat in every meal and pretty much no shopping ever for anything other than necessities. No new clothes or shoes or crafts. ha ha I hate having old clothes but what can yeah do, its a sacrifice we made so we could get Joel going in school.  I wouldn't take it back. Its been incredibly great for us! No matter what people say we are doing so much better in our marriage and just life in general and it has nothing to do with my parents and brothers & sisters being close, even though that is so nice I think and  I love being able to see them. Joel and I feel  like we are on the right track again and  doing whats right so we are in a better place and that = happiness and blessings.  We are expecting another baby come august! Funny thing until we got our life more straightened out I don't think this would have happened for us. I just think its too big of a coincidence. Anyways we are so glad to be back in AZ and if anyone knows of a good paying part time job 12:30 pm on let us know lol until then I will be tired, hungry (but nothing sounds good) stomach sick and craving junk food! haha I swear all I've wanted to eat was either tacos or cinnamon rolls or fried chicken. lol

Seattle

New post coming soon!

We visited the Seattle Aquarium !

& saw this lovely city!!

Halloween favorites

I love white pumpkins & just pumpkins in general but I love pottery barns pumpkins this year they are fantastic! My husband  lost his job recently so I cannot be purchasing these beauty's this year  not that I need too lol I have plenty already, but its so nice to dream! I love what PB did with the front door of the house I love the crows and the lanterns. I  have one lantern like the ones on display but wouldn't it be cool to have tons on the walk way like that for a party? If only... lol. I love fall and well the holidays in general are always so exciting I love the decorations!


ALSO we just moved into a new place that's more north end of Richland. I would show pictures but there is still so much in boxes and very few things actually hung up! But I can tell you its a duplex house (look up Richland WA. "ABC houses") a "B" house its yellow with white trim around the windows and has a huge front and side yard with a giant shade tree that's parallel to a drive way up the side of the house.  Its got tech 3 bed.  2 upstairs with wood floor and a bathroom across the hallway. I love that our house it is not a two story home! Ahh I was so tired of that! Anyways, we have a family room downstairs that we keep the TV and our old couches down there and the third bed is more like Adelynns new play room with a big window :)

Adelynns 2nd Birthday

Happy 2nd Birthday!

We visited the birds and fed them some bread, adelynn loved that so much & after ward we got baskin robins :) At about 6 we ate at red robin where adelynn had a great time eating dinner with some of her relatives and surrounded herself with plenty of balloons! Then after dinner we went for a quiet walk to the temple grounds; it was peaceful and sweet. Adelynn had a good time pointing out all the different plants and rocks she saw. It was a great day all in all.

Hey ya'll

Hey everyone its been awhile! I hope you have all been well and allot of good has come your way sense the last time I posted.

I guess I'll start by telling you something about me...
I am an emotional person  it affects everything I do.
I don't always like that about myself, in fact most times I despise it but I'm realizing is Its part of who I am and maybe its not always such a bad thing if used in more possitive ways? As my mother and also my dear sister in law would describe, I'm a tender hearted gal.  I read the other day Busy Bee Laurens blog, she had a post where she talked about herself in a very similar way, I found it interesting though that she described it as her "gift" I had never thought of it that way before.  It shead some light on me, helped me feel less like a silly problematic woman. lol 
Anyways the point that I'm trying but have been failing to come to is,
I've had  allot of struggles in my life namely, Depression, Adhd that have greatly affect my life and made things just so much tougher PLUS Ive always been a introverted, in my own little world, emotional, sensitive  kind of girl but I'm thinking now that maybe that does not make me weak? Totally strange? Maybe its making me into something better? Anyways Just been on my mind. Totally random self help talk.

 Also I want to share why I have not been blogging or emailing... I don't really care who knows at this point but my husband & I have been going through some big bumps in our marriage and its kept me from pretty much doing anything online that's worthwhile. But being even more honest,  when I could get on,  I just didn't care to share anything. Do you know the feeling? I think particularly it was hard because I still needed to sort out my feelings from all the things I was going through and also because I was just too upset with myself and our situation to think about opening up. I just want to say, thank heaven we are doing better and getting help that we have needed, and we are getting on the right track to having a more happy loving marriage.

words I've been reflecting on

Consider the lilies of the field,


How they grow, how they grow.

Consider the birds in the sky,

How they fly, how they fly.



He clothes the lilies of the field.

He feeds the birds in the sky.

And He will feed those who trust Him,

And guide them with His eye.



Consider the sheep of His fold,

How they follow where He leads.

Though the path may wind across the mountains,

He knows the meadows where they feed.



He clothes the lilies of the field.

He feeds the birds in the sky,

And He will feed those who trust Him,

And guide them with His eye.



Consider the sweet, tender children

Who must suffer on this earth.

The pains of all of them He carried

From the day of His birth.



He clothes the lilies of the field,

He feeds the lambs in His fold,

And He will heal those who trust Him,

And make their hearts as gold.
