MOVING!!!

We closed on our house yesterday! We bought the paint for the girls' bedroom and their bathroom. I'll be moving a few things today and tonight we'll shampoo carpets and get started on the paint. We are all so excited and ready to be IN the new house!! I'll be posting before and after pics so check back!

LOVES!!

Haaaallelujah

We paid rent for the FINAL time this week! We are just 10 short days away from closing on our first home. The inspection was on Wednesday and it went well. There are a few things that need to be fixed but overall I think we're getting an amazing house. Of course, I thought that already! I'm busy getting all the utilities turned on and pack, pack, packing!

Have a fabulous weekend!!

LOVES!!

Busy

So, its been over a month since I last posted and in that month we decided we were ready to buy a house (no more throwing our money away on rent!). We found a house and we'll be closing on March 16th!! So much to do and not much time to do it in. Our lease is up at the end of the month so we'll have two weeks to move. My Mom and sister are coming up March 2oth and staying until the 24th. My Mom and sis are going to help me paint and my Mom will watch the girls while us young folk do the heavy lifting!

Prayers and fingers crossed all things go smoothly. Our inspection is tomorrow (well, today since its after midnight...I should be in bed!) and if that goes well then we'll get the appraisal set up. We don't see any reason this all won't go very smoothly and without hesitation but you really never know. I'll post pics as soon as we are in. There will be lots of before and after pics because I have big plans in my head! We'll see how much Cory is on board once we get in there...LOL!

Kaydence also had her 2nd birthday. I made her a monkey cake. No party...she's not that into groups of people anyway. We did take her to Red Robin and they sang to her. I don't think she really knew what to think of that situation!

LOVES!!

New house!

Catching Up

Since I haven't been around for a while I thought I'd catch everyone up! We had a wonderful Christmas. We stayed home and it was so relaxing! I really missed my family but it was nice not having to pack and travel.

We got a puppy!!!!! He's a black & white border collie and we named him MacGyver. We're working on housetraining...he peed on my foot yesterday so I'm not sure how well its going!

We are taking Kaydence's paci...that isn't going too well either. She goes around saying "paaaaci, paaaaci!" She only gets it when she's sleeping and she gets really ticked when she wakes up and can't keep it. We also think potty training is riiiight around the corner. She tells me after right after she pees or poops. I hope it happens soon! Two in diapers is expensive.

Bridget is doing well. She's up to 14 lbs 14 oz. She goes back to the doctor in April for her 12 month check up. She is sleeping through the night and is learning to use a sippy cup! She makes a mess with it but likes whats in it (we always use diluted juice to help with the learning process).

Katherine is little miss sassy! I don't know how my Mom put up with me and my sister's smart mouths. One minute I want to hug her she's so sweet and the next I want to send her off to boarding school in Switzerland. Seriously...She'll be starting Mothers Day Out in the fall...maybe I'll get some of my sanity back!

Cory and I are doing fine. He has been back out in the garage building furniture...yay!! He's building me two coffee tables/storage cubes/ottomans. We designed them and they are going to be awesome...I can't wait. I've been working on my MK business and trying to keep from pulling my hair out during these cold winter months.

I'll post pics soon!

LOVES!!!

Its 11 pm, do you know where the cops are?

They were at MY house checking to make sure Bridget had the right prescription! Yeah, you read that right.


I am really ticked right now. This evening we picked up a RX for Bridget for an ear infection. Well, here I sit at 11 pm and there comes a loud knock at our door. I get Cory out of bed and we answer the door to find a police officer. Apparently the pharmacy screwed up and gave Bridget's RX to someone else (when I picked it up it was "missing" and I had to wait on them to fill it again). Our original RX went home with another man whose daughter had strep throat. Luckily he realized before he gave it to his dd that it had OUR daughter's name on it (along with our home address...talk about a personal safety issue!). I guess he called the police and gave them the info, I don't know.

I'm calling tomorrow and giving someone a piece of my mind but what else? I am beyond pissed! I'm sitting here at 1130 pm still trying to get my heartrate to slow because 1) a policeman was at my door at 11 pm, 2) I was freaking out thinking I had given my child the wrong Rx and 3) someone has our home address and knows we have a young daughter (I don't think this is a danger but it COULD have been, ya know?).

At this point I'm shaking I'm so mad. You have to trust your pharmacy as much as you trust your doctor (if not more so)! We're definitely changing pharmacies but I feel like this could have ended so much worse!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, trying to get on top of that!

Bridget seems fine by the way. We only knew she had an ear infection because she had her 9 month check up. She's finally up to 14 lbs 14 oz and growing! My littlest monkey is doing well.

Katherine's 4th Birthday!!!!

We were in Arkansas for Katherine's 4th birthday so we had a party at my Mom's. The theme was Transformers! She went back and forth between Princess & Transformers--Transformers won. She was so excited her cousins got to come to her birthday party. They even went to my Mom's neighbor's to see his donkeys! Thanks, Dr Justice! She was exhausted at the end of the day.



I can't believe my baby is 4 years old already! Four years ago today we brought her home from the hospital and it seems like just yesterday! She is growing into a very smart, beautiful, independent little girl and we are so proud of her!



Here is a link to a slide show~Enjoy!



Katherine's 4th Birthday!



LOVES!!

Thanksgiving

We decided to head to Arkansas for Thanksgiving this year instead of Christmas. Much less stress for us! Anyhow, we had a great time. We left the boro at 7 pm on Wednesday (the 26th) and got to my Mom's in Malvern at 2 am! By the time we got unloaded and settled into bed it was 3 am. We spent Thanksgiving Day at my Mammaw & Pappaw's. This was the first holiday that all my my siblings were together in a long time. We took lots of pics so I'll quit boring you with words and let ya have a peek! I made slide shows because I took nearly 200 pics just on Turkey Day! ~LOVES~

I think you'll have to click to see them. I couldn't figure out how to get them to actually load in the blog...one of these days I'll have it all figured out!
