Exciting Things Happening

I haven't really shared much about our house plans lately for many reasons.  It seemed like every time we made plans to moved and talked about those plans, they always fell through.  We had many different options in the house department and nothing seemed to be working out.

So when this option came about, we kept it to ourselves.  We didn't even share the information with family until we were somewhat sure of what was going to happen.  We were trying not to get our hopes up in case this fell through too.

No falling through this time.  We are moving!!! 

Currently, we live in a very small home that has maybe 1000 square feet of living space.  We only have two bedrooms so our little guy bunks with us.  We outgrew our house a long time ago and we are so excited to be moving.  We don't even have enough furniture to fill our new house be we don't care.  We are just so excited.

The house in only about 20 minutes from where we live now so it's still pretty close to my family which is exactly what I wanted.  I think the thing I'm most excited about is having a play room.  No more toys spilled all over the house because there will be one dedicated play room. 

I'm feeling a little sentimental about our current home because we've been here a long time and we've had a lot of good things happen here.  This is where all of our puppies came home to for the first time.  This is where our kids came home for the first time.  We've had a lot of friends in this house, a lot of parties and a lot of fun.  It's been an awesome house but it's time to move.

So here is our new house...


Oh and we move this weekend. 

It all kind of happened quickly.  We were waiting and waiting and waiting and them BAM!  Time to move.  It's ok because it's exactly what we need right now.  We'll be spending this Saturday painting and cleaning the house and then we move in.  Just like that.  More pictures and updates to come!

On a sad note, we might also finally be trading in the Beamer for a mini van.  Let me tell you how sad this makes me.  I love my Beamer.  LOVE.  It's the most comfortable vehicle I've ever driven.  It just doesn't have enough space.  I mean, we have to take pieces of our double stroller off in order to fit it into the back.

So, we are going to look at a dreaded mini van.  I always said I would NEVER drive a mini van but this is what is has come to.  My husband wants a Honda Odyssey so that's what we are going to look at.  If all goes well, we'll be driving away with it.

So not cool.  But don't think it's all for nothing. 

This mini van?  Yea it ensures a third child.  Oh yea.  I told my husband the only way we could get a mini van was if we had a third kid.  He said if I wanted a third kid, we had to get a mini van.  Even trade.  No I'm not pregnant and I don't know when the next child will come but when he or she does, we will be prepared!

  1. I have just love watching your little family grow on here. And do not fear the minivan- we have a toyota sienna and it is the perfect family car. It did however take me a long time to accept that I was in my twenties and driving a mini but the conveniences are well worth the "cool factor" trade off. It has automatic doors and dvd player for the girls. Plus with three in carseats aside from a giant SUV we didn't have much choice. Best wishes on your move and hope your new home is filled with many more wonderful memories!

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

So What Wednesday

So what if I have been converted to a snow hater. I usually love the snow.  I loved to see the white stuff blanketing everything.  I loved having snow days.  I loved how quiet it would get because people were keeping warm in their homes.  I loved the sound of sleds and kids building snowmen. I don't love it anymore. Snow days?  I don't get snow days.  I don't work.  I don't get to have work or school canceled.  I don't get to take the day off from my kids because of the snow.  What I do get is to have a mini van that sucks in the snow so I don't get to go anywhere and get cooped up in the house with the kids. And I also get a husband who is gone.  He plows snow in the Winter.  Go figure.  He has been gone almost non-stop for the past two weeks because of this stupid snow and he will be gone again tonight because of the snow.  So not only do I get stuck inside with the kids while my husband is gone, I also h...
