Where has the time gone?

I feel like I am running around like a crazy person. I am so close to being done with my Christmas shopping and am getting ready to start wraping as soon as I am done posting this. Allot has been going on here at home.

Chase has desided he is alot more indepent and now really only want Dad and Mam-Maw. AARRRGGGG.... I don't know how much more crying for them I can take.

Tate is going to be starting preschool January 5th. He got to met his teacher today and is so exctied to go to school and to ride a bus.

Jocleyn is being really helpful with every thing that I need her to do. I can't belive what a great big girl is is starting to be come! Of course she is still full of drama but I don't think that is going any where any time soon. She is so excited to give gifts to all our family and is excited for what she knows that others are getting. I am so greatful that is.

Bryan has been really pretty busy with work and we have had work Christmas parties the last two weeks. It is always fun to get out for a fun work party. Hopfully we will be getting the pictures from the big one so you guys can see how pretty we looked all dressed up!

I am doing pretty good most days any more I still have times that I get hurting really bad but it hasn't been as bad as it was at first. I am so greatful that Heavenly Father has awnsered my prayers and is leting me be able to take care of all the things that I really want to for Christmas. I have cut back on what and how much I am doing and doing at one time. It has been really hard for me but I am just so greatful that I am able to do as much as I am. I am so counting my blessng!

I am so excited that Josh will be home in less than a week! The other day Jocleyn and I were talking about this broken shoe. It can't be fixed but she was sure that if we save it for Uncle Josh that he would be able to fix it when he gets here. He can fix alot of things but that shoe is not one of them. It just made me Laugh!

Hopfully I can get better about posting and updating again I jsut get so busy with life I for get too!

Under 100 days to go

I am so excited I am in the double digits now. I have less that 100 days before this wonderful baby boy-still unnamed- get here. I have never started a count down this early that I kept track of but with every thing going on this pregnancy I have been counting down the days. I am doing pretty good most day but when I am not I am really not good at all. With the Christmas coming up fast I have been over doing it allot more. I know I should take it easy but I only have so much time before Christmas gets here and I have to mail some things out. I think we are alittle over half way done. Thanks to Black Friday! I was exhausted but all in all it was a good day.

Jocelyn has been a huge help with cleaning and helping out with the boys. I guess this is a great time to teach since I can't do it all for her she is really learning to do a lot.

Tate is going to be tested for he's speech on Wen. I hope he gets excepted. He is like Jocelyn and will have to qualify strictly on his poor speech he is right on or above for every thing Else.

Chase is trying to be a big help but is to small to be much. He can say dinosaur now and all the sudden has falling in love with all dinosaurs. Which is great since we didn't know what to get him for Christmas. Mam-maw brought him back one from Florida and he has been carring it around ever since.

Bryan has had stomach flu 3 times in the last 1 1/2 the rest of us just once. But I am hoping he is finally over that. He has been a huge help and every day just keeps becoming more help.

I want to tell every one that I am grateful for all the love and support that has been shone to our family. And to give a spacial thanks to my Mother in Law for coming over and helping get caught up on laundry and all the help cleaning. It is much easier to stay on top of now.

I hope every one is doing well and having a great Holiday season so far!

For sale or trade

My mother in law came over today to help me go thought all the kids toys. I am so proud of my self I got rid of over 1/2 of their toys. I thought I would try to sell some of the better ones that I was getting rid of and before I put them up on Craig's List I thought I would see if any one here wanted to buy them or trade them for other goods such as crafts.

Tater bug

I feel like I never post pictures of Tate. The other day when mom was taking pictures of Jocelyn's missing teeth she snapped a couple of the boys too. Tate loves to play with cars, trains, planes, rockets pretty much anything with a engine. Well he was playing with a plane and a few snap shoots turned out to look like a well thought out photo shoot. I don't know how she does it but she always seems to capture the kids the way they really are with a pro look to it. I LOVE this set of Tate! It is so him!

Another one bites the dust

Last night while getting the kids ready for bed Jocelyn asked if her tooth was ready to come out yet. So I was wiggling her tooth and it was really loose. So she asked me to pull it she wanted the tooth fairy to come again so we tryed for about 5 minutes and I was ready to give up when she asked me to please try one more time ....

And it came out! And the tooth fairy come again and gave her another dollar. She is so excited to go to target with dad tomorrow night to get some thing out of the $1 bins. ANd to get Wallie.

She is just growing up to fast

So happy to be alive

I woke up this morning in as much pain as I went to bed with normally it isn't quite as bad in the morning as it is at night. Any how I woke up so happy this morning I am not a morning person so anyone who has ever been around me int he morning will understand how weird that is for me. But all I could think about was how luck I was to be alive. I think the small things in live are what keep me going.

Yesterday Jocelyn clean her room with out being asked and did a really good job. I had told her the night before that I couldn't come in and tuck her in to bed and kiss her goodnight in her bed because I can't step over all the things on the floor. So she cleaned her room so I could tuck her in to bed. It really meant allot to me.

Tate has been so cuddly lately he use to be all the time but now he is only some times. But he will just climb up and sit with me at least a few times a day now. I love the the cuddles from him.

Chase has been giving kisses like crazy. They are wet and sticky and some times gross but he always knows when I am really needing a kiss. He also has been helping Jocelyn clean up. He love to clean the living room with her. He calls it WOO-WHO-ING since we always say WOO-WHO when he puts things away where they go.

My mom has been helping a ton with kids and driving and has even started cooking again to help us out she cooks 2 nights a week for me so that it isn't so much for me and Bryan to do. I can't stand up real long at one time so I am can't cook allot of things any more. I sure do appreciate all her help.

My wonderful husband has really stepped up. I didn't know that he was could handle and do so many things. I am love him to death and every time I don't think I could love him any more he does something and I fall even more in love. He now does all the dishes and laundry and is cooking at least 2 nights a week. He is so much more help with the kids and is so kind and loving with me. He is also more understanding that he has ever been before about the pain and all the things that I can't do. He is always reminding me that I have to take it easy so I don't over do it since I push my self to much. I am having a hard time not being able to shop as much. I love him and am so lucky to have such a great guy!

I am so grateful for all the wonderful people I have in my life that are so supportive to me and my family. I am so happy to be alive and spend every day with my kids and watch our family learn and grow stronger together. As painful as this is I am gratefully for all the things that I have learned from having it and the love that is growing because of it!
