22 Weeks

I have hit the 22 week mark.

Baby BOY moves a ton and is hanging out super low.

The nursery is pretty much done, that's the nice part of hanging on to the older boys things.

He doesn't have a name yet but we have a list of names we are throwing around.

Braxton is already in love with his new little Brother, he felt him move and loves to kiss my belly.

Colton is starting to realize what is going on and will put his hand on my belly as well.

We are so ecstatic to bring another boy into this family.

Christmas In Idaho!!

We were so excited this year because we decided to drive home and spend the holidays with our families. It was a good 30 hours straight through on the way to Idaho.

Boys did awesome. Braxton slept a ton and well Colton didn't but at least he was well behaved for how little of sleep he got.

It was definitely a different experience driving this time.. Braxton never asked "Are we there yet?" Which I was so grateful for.. however he did say

"I just wanna go to Grandma's house this is taking too long... and Next time I wanna take an airplane because this is a long time." So he understood it was a long drive.

So I knew the way home was going to be long because he already knew it took 2 days to get there.

We did do a lot of fun things while we were in Idaho.

We got to see all of our families. Meet Baby Rhett and Baby Ellie.

 Braxton got to play in the snow for the first time and build his first snowman.

He loves the snow.

 Celebrated Christmas Eve at Aaron's parents and Christmas Morning at mine.

 Had a family party with Aaron's side of the family at the Bounce House

 Colton and Cambrie got along this time (for the most part)

 Colton turned 2. We celebrated with both families and Pizza on New Years Eve.

We loved being home for the holidays.

Now we are back home and on to real life again.

Moved the Boys into the Big Boy room so we can prepare for the baby in July...

 



Day 5

Today I am thankful for technology.

I am thankful that even though I live 2000 miles away from my family I am able to call them every day if I want and to skype with them and see them like we are right there.

I am thankful they still have glimpses of watching my kids grow. 

Day 4

Today I am thankful for my health.

 I recently was having headaches everyday for no reason, of course I went to the doc and they stopped. Praying they don't come back.

I am thankful that my body is healthy to do the things I like and to enjoy my family.

We have family friends that are going through some pretty major health issues, and it reminds me every day that life is precious and we need to be grateful for what we do have.

I'm also thankful for a healthy family.

Day 3

Thankful for our "home" away from Home.

We have been truly blessed while living in San Antonio to have met a lot of wonderful friends.

They have helped make it a little easier to live so far away from family.

We miss our family like crazy, but are grateful that we adjusted pretty well and were able to buy a home here to make lots of fun memories in.

Day 2

Today I am thankful to my Heavenly Father for allowing me and trusting me to be a mother to his sweet children.

My life has been truly blessed because of Braxton and Colton and I cannot imagine what I would do every day if I didn't get to spend it with them.

 

The month of thanks

Today I am thankful for my Husband, Aaron!

I cannot imagine my life without him and I don't ever want to.

He is truly my knight in shining armor.

He came into my life when I needed him most, and has stuck with me for over 5 years now.

We are truly blessed to have each other.
