Update

I feel like I haven't written much lately.  I use to be pretty good about posting at least once a week...honestly I am getting board of  the same old. My posts are normally motivated by cute pictures I take, but I have not gotten many cute ones lately. Sure my kids are changing and stuff but I don't seem to get very good pictures lately   Drake fights me, he wont even look at me when I call his name, especially if there is a camera in my hands.  Plus nothing goes on in my life anymore.  Now that I live in podunk, I don't do anything but the housewifemom thing and wait to go into town once every two weeks...

Basically nothing to update, except small things that I am not sure if I wrote about or not.

School starts Monday :(  I am only going half time this semester, because that was as many online classes as I could find.  Still unsure of how i will proceed after this semester.  GRR I wish I always knew the answer.

Our family keeps getting sick since we moved into this house.  Part of me worries about how the dishes get done and if they are getting cleaned.  I only have one sink in the kitchen, so I have to wash and rinse in the same sink :(  So I am going to try to rinse in a water/bleach solution to see if that helps our immune systems out.  I REALLY DON'T KNOW

We are all unpacked and the house is almost put together.  We have to have a storage unit because of the small space...I hate having to drive to a unit to get things....I also hate not knowing if I lost it in storage or lost something all together.

Our renters in IF moved out today, so now we have to fill the vacancy or pay double rent....
Praying it will all work out.

Oh yea, we have a new dog.  Her name is Roxy and she is a miniature doberman pincer.  She is cute, and cuddles so much.  Hopefully we have better luck with her then we did with the other dogs.

Here are some pictures as of late.

Drake and his "gun" screwdrive

on the phone every chance he gets

loves watching movies in the car!

PUPPY TIME

So we tried to go on a picnic it was fun for a minute....until the bees came out

So we ate our KFC in the car instead, and watched a movie on the small screen!

kind of a tight fit

Uncle Tony giving Drake a ride on the motorcycle 

Drakes new trick....climbing on the table

the puppy loves Addyson's room and is always sitting in her chair.

The puppy loves to cuddle...LOVES to cuddle 

Drake decided he wanted to wear a hat

Watching grandpa playing with the horses

Addyson, being a big girl, sitting up.  She is so LONG and skinny. 

Addyson 8 Months

Not sure what I have written about...

I KNOW THESE ARE RECALLED, BUT ONLY BECAUSE PPL R STUPID

she loves her little bumbo LOVES it...even Drake climbs in it from time to time.

Addyson is getting her top 4 teeth and the last week has been H*LL!  She has never been so cranky.  Towards the end of the night when she is tired she just SCREAMS.  If you want her to stop the only thing that helps is walking around with her, and not everyone can walk with her, it has to be her mommy.  I get a sad baby 24/7 without much help.  But she is cute and so worth the crank.  :D

She still wont crawl, but she likes to roll.  She pretty much can cross the room buy rolling or pushing off with her toes and scooting.  She gets into a crawl position and pushes with her foot...very strange.

She loves our dog and the cat, she is so happy and smiley (when she isn't teething)

She is starting to dance when she hears music, getting good with clapping\

When I rock her to sleep and she is so sleepy and almost dreaming she starts to sing...so amazing

She says mama and dada and baba....like i mentioned i don't think she knows what they mean.  But I noticed her saying mom before dad, but im pretty sure she said dad first, i just didn't notice (how sad)

She loves to sit up and play like a big girl.

she hates rice cereal, one day she just wouldn't eat it anymore...DRAKE LOVES IT STILL

she loves fruit and bread and basically another food that isn't for babies.  She is so jealous around dinner time, and she will cry until you treat her like a big kid.   It reminds me of me.  When i was younger i just wanted to be a big kid and do what all the older kids did, she just wants to be big.

she can hold a bottle, she has been doing it for a while not sure when it started.

she loves attention, if you are not giving her time she will let you know...basically needs to be loved just like every other girl i know

pretending to crawl

She got cranky so we had to stop and feed her

then she fell asleep!

Happy Left Hander's Day....and Happy BDAY Oakley and Kaitlynn

Okay, so my excuse for breaking down and buying this was for left hander's day, LOL.  I am not 100% sure that my kids are left handed, but they eat with their left and throw with their lefts...yeah both of them :(


Someone was selling this on FB and when I saw it I couldn't help myself!  I have never seen one like it and I fell in love.  SO, I got my kids a gift for left hander's day, because I have to have an excuse to buy things....that is just how my mind works, plus I didn't want to store it and wait a few months till their birthdays, so they are just being spoiled.

Also, Kaitlynn Sauer, my oldest niece turned 12 today....and Oakley Kunz turned the big 8 yesterday.  Happy birthday to my two oldest nieces on separate sides!  Love you girls to pieces 

Long time, no see

I have not realized how long it has been since I blogged!  Like a month, WHA??? Well we have been living in this rental for almost a month, but it is still a mess.  I have not moved since before I was married, so this whole moving with 2 kids is WAY hard!  Plus when people come to "help" I never know what they can do, cuz I really don't trust anyone to put away or go through my things.  Basically, we have gone through all the storage unit and filled boxes with stuff we want to store and stuff we want with us...LONG process.

Anyway, I feel like because we didn't do it all in one day it has really been drug out.  We have unpacked boxes about 3 different times.  Once I get everything where I want it we go and get another load of things to sort through, not to mention the last occupants of this rental left a BUNCH of stuff, so I went through it.  Got some cloths for both thing kids and some SWEET toys out of it, SCORE!

Craig and Patti, Kade's parents just left.  I finally broke down and asked them to come over.  I have had Nikki come and help me with my kids, but this way worked better because I had 3 adults here other then me.  So, Kade and his dad worked on putting together our cribs, sad I know....no more port-a-crib, YES! And the girls went through and sorted boxes.  It was so nice to have other adults around.  Normally Drake unpacked as fast as I pack, or in this case he would put things back into boxes.  He just wants to help.  He is becoming so independent and big....sad.

But the kid's room is finally all together and things are where I want them.  Just a few finishing touches and I will be happy with how things are looking.

I am still wishing I knew all the answers.  I am doing this semester online for ISU, but I'm not even full-time because they don't have all the classes I need through online study.  SO...looks like I will be transferring :(  Either to some online school or maybe BYU-I....not sure anymore where life is taking me.

Well I just burned a cake...I can't hear the oven beeper in this dang house!

Hope to post pictures and updates...not that much has been going on!

Cars, AGAIN

So sad to report we traded in our Prius.  I will so miss that car and its gas mileage.  But I won't miss the lack of space it gave our growing family.  No, I am not pregnant again, we just decided to get a van, for the DVD player (SUCH A LIFESAVER) :D

Plus Kade has been really wanting a full sized truck for a while, it isn't the prettiest but it is big enough.

We got rid of one car and got two....making it a total of 7 vehicles that we own right now....yeah he promised he would sell a few if we got him a truck.

So, hopefully in a few weeks we will be proud owners of only 3 vehicles, and I sure hope they are all running vehicles...knock on wood.

New Hair!

Yeah, not such exciting news for anyone but me.  Suzi my best friend is getting married in a few days, so I traveled to Blackfoot to get my hair done.  it was great, my mom watched my kids and I enjoyed a few hours of alone time.  I think it looks GREAT.

BEFORE, the sun was really bright, so no judging!

After, just plain and not done

All curly and cute!

I was really impressed with it.
