Love this Crazy. Hectic. Beautiful Life

I thought I would take a quick minute to update everyone on how things are going in our lives these days. There have been a lot of changes but for the most part all good!!

I finally moved into my first house!!! Well, first house I am buying that is. Which is really exciting and totally stressful at the same time. I never realized how much stuff that myself & the 2 little ones have until I started packing! I haven't finished unpacking everything because Friday (7/3) my older than dirt rusted out lovely water heater busted! Leaving 3 inches of water in my utility room & kitchen! Thank GOD that my cousin was watching my kids at the house & was able to contain the water so it didn't get past the kitchen! So, we call the insurance company. But guess who you can't get out to your house on the friday before a holiday weekend! Yep, you guessed the insurance company! So, we have been stuff at my moms apartment! Yes, apartment! A 3 month old (todayy!!), 3 adults and a very hyper, curious can't stand to be inside 18 month old in a 2 bedroom 2nd floor apartment! Thank God for the POOL!

Other our major house issue we've been pretty good! Brynlee is getting big, but still looks so tiny cause she's almost 24 inches long!! She's cooing and smiling so much. She rolling over from her stomach to her back & starting to reach for toys on her floor gym! Kolton is doing well! He loves the swimming pool and is no longer scared of it, which makes for one nerveous wreck mommy! But I am glad he is enjoying it and can't wait to get ours for the house!

Well that's it for this time! I hope to have internet when we get back to the house, I have lots of cute pictures to show you!

Lots of love till then,

Lovin' Me Some Zebra

So, I don't really have much to blog about today. Well actually that's a lie! I need to blog about the new house, Brynlee's 2 month check-up and about a couple things coming but I just don't have time to sit down with a detailed post today. I am only getting to post this right now because my accounting software is updating!

So, wow I think I use So in almost every post....maybe I should stop that, anywho! My reason for the quick post is I just had to show off my super cute new shoes from Payless! I spent a whole whopping $8.00 on them... I know big spender , huh? Well, payless was having their wonderful BOGO 1/2 off sale. So, I went in for a cute pair of work sandals and 4 pairs of shoes later I came out with these....

I know! Super Cute right?! It's okay, be Jealous..I understand! Don't you just love them! I know I do! Well, that's all I wanted...just to show off my super cute zebra shoes!

Till next time.

Peace. Love & Chicken Grease!

Just plain Rude!

So, I wasn't going to blog about this but it just really got under my skin today. Maybe it's the lack of sleep, maybe it's the stress over moving or maybe it's just the stupidty of this person.

I don't know about most people but I do know some moms who use their blog to interact with other mothers, friends and family. It's away to vent things that frustrate you, praise things that make you happy and raise awareness of things that effect you. So, why is that irrogrant people have to come out of the wood-works and make stupid comments.

I've followed MckMama's blog since I started my blog, which mind you hasn't been super long ago, but I've grown attached to her blog & MSC. She makes me want to do better for myself and children. Her son, Stellan, makes me appericate my kids more! The fact that I have God to thank that they are happy, healthy, thriving children despite their rough entrance into this world. So, why must their be people who get their kicks out of despitful just plain Rude, pointless comments! (i.e "Oh, and BTW, that little "press release" you "issued" to your faithful cult followers?Lame. And quite arrogant. To put yourself on a pedestal like that was simply embarrassing. For you. Be careful. I see a fall coming. Long and hard.")

What is the point of this? Does this really make you feel better? There are more comments, but this comment was on the same blog post comments about 15 times. The others just as much. I just really bugs me that people make themselves feel better by putting others down. I am not going to take my self to this certain person's level and post their blog information. Because it's really them that I pity not MckMama. I know there are going to people who try to bring us down, and that we have to be strong enough to pay them no mind. But we are still human and things still sting, ya know?

So, to the blogger who feels we are a cult. Jealousy is the greatest form of flattery! So, I am flattered that you seem to think we are cult followers! I also pray that God will warm your heart & you will realize that we are all here bigger and better things than what you have become!!

Moving on...

I had a wonderful baby shower Sunday. Thank you to all my friends and family who came out to make the day extra special. I will upload some pictures tonight, if the stormy weather allows my power to stay on tonight. Yep, that was me who woke up this morning at 735 to no power (since about 330, which I was up when it went out). A cold shower & getting dressed in the dark!

We are Moving!

Just a quick update, plus I wanted to try out my new signature! We sold our house and will be making the move just 5 minutes down the road the end of this month! Its super fast but so exciting!! Can't wait!
