Isn't she pretty!

I love and I mean love my new shark steam mop. Having an entire floor of hardwood and tile makes mopping quite the chore since it has to be done every other day, but this beautiful machine has cut mopping from 1 hour to about 15 minutes and it is fully sanitized. My favorite part is not having to wait for my floors to dry, it happends instantly!

It's a....

So we went and got an ultrasound and are super excited to report that we are having a GIRL! When I found out it was a girl I got a little emotional thinking how excited I was that Maycie was going to have a sister, and how important my sisters and sister-in-laws are to me. We have a couple names in mind but we need to see her before we decide. I was stressing out about not finding any boy names that I loved so I am glad that I don't have to worry about that. The kids have been asking for a couple months now if it was a boy or girl and when we told each of them they really didn't have a reaction, other than Maycie she wants to name the baby Maycie #2... We have been so blessed and are excited to welcome this new little baby into our family.

My Kitchen Project

Since the day I moved into my house I have HATED and I mean HATED my kitchen. With red walls and the white formica counter tops there wasn't much to love. So as a Christmas present to each other we decided to put our money towards fixing the kitchen. I have to say I love it! My parents came over to help and teach us how to properly install tile counter tops. I love the way they turned out. The week prior I painted the kitchen from blood red(that took two coats of primer to cover, oh how I hated the previous owner by the time I was finished) to a vibrant green with an accent wall a couple shades darker... I love it! Thanks to my parents and especially Adam for all of his hard work, he literally worked straight for 3 days to get it done.

Spam, Rice and Ketchup

YUMMY! That is all I have to say. A couple weeks ago at my parents they made spam and rice for dinner. I was so skeptical of how it would taste but let me tell you it is my new favorite combo. We seriously eat it a couple times a week for dinner and I'm loving this easy delious new combo...mmmm this post is making me hungry for more!

Christmas Gift

Just so all of my good friends know I'm giving you a preview of what your getting for Christmas next year. These babies are awesome! I put them on for the first time when we remodeled the kitchen. I just simply told my kids I couldn't hear them when I had them on and magically my kids didn't come crying, complaining, or bother me the entire rest of the time I was working. It was magic!! Anyway I know they are not the cutest accessorie ever but man do they work!

What to do?

Okay so I really need some advice as to what to do next with this?

Last week we tried little tiny baby pigtails...not so cute!

I really want to cut it into some sort of style, but there is a part of me just saying....let it grow!

Let's go to the movies....

Grandpa with Maycie and Grayson
Going to my Dads Company Christmas Party has become a tradition for the kids, they rent out Jordan Commons and show a family movie. This year they chose UP. I loved the movie the first time I saw it and so I was excited to go see it again. When you get there they hand you a bag of candy for you while you watch the movie, and then after the kids get to see Santa and get a treat bag. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for inviting us we had a great time!

My Grandpa

My Grandpa was a great man! I have so many fond memories of him. When I found out he passed away on Tuesday night I was so sad, only for my own selfish reasons of always wanting to have him around. When I found out how he passed away, knowing that he had spent a fun filled night with family I some how am at peace with losing him, I wouldn't have wanted it to happen any other way. My grandpa baked the BEST chocolate chip cookies...whenever we were coming over he would have a batch ready for us, he was patient, kind and gentle. I remember him hunting, playing and doing what he did best which was watching golf! I always knew that he loved me and I know that he knew how much I loved him. I will always wish I could have seen him one last time but I know that someday we will be reunited again. Grandpa thanks for being the best, I love you!

So Lucky

So I know that a lot of my post are funny things the kids have done or just boring happenings, but today I want to post about what awesome kids I have. Yestersay as I layed on the couch feeling overwhelmed by everthing that needed to be done before I started work Maycie came up to me and said "mommy does your tummy hurt? I want to help you". Then she proceeded to go into the kitchen and start to clean out the dishwasher. It took her almost an hour doing a chore that would only have taken me 5 minutes, but she was so happy to help me. Then after she asked me what else I needed help with, she went upstairs and got Grayson and asked him to do the dishes. When I got home from work last night and walked into my clean kitchen I couldn't help but feel so grateful for my wonderful children that I have been so blessed with. Thanks to them for their hugs, kisses and daily random mom, I love you.....they are my pride and joy and I am so grateful for them.

Our latest news

So life has been a little crazier than normal lately. A couple weeks ago I thought I had the swine flu....feeling nauseas, feverish, and not good. To make a long story short...we will be welcoming baby number 4 in late June or early July. I feel like poo and I am hoping that I start feeling better soon! If anyone has any anti-nausea secrets let me know!
