House 4 Sale??

Ok-so we have had our house on the market now for 2 years. We have came down on the house quiet a bit and now are at a point where we can't come down anymore. We have done everything that has been suggested to us rather than adding a garage. The one reason we haven't done that is because we wouldn't get the money back for it. We have updated almost every room in the house. It has a new roof and siding on it. Not to mention that we have also put brand new central heat and air too. It is just getting very frustrating because we have a house already picked out to buy. I'm not sure what to do next. I'm pretty much open to any suggestions. It amazes me how people can be so picky about things that they could change themselves, like paint colors. I guess I'm asking for you all to pray that I will get some kind of sign that says that we will soon sell or that we should stay where we are. The bad thing about staying is that we are running out of room and we would like to have another baby. I do have to say that we have more showings in the two months than we have had all winter. So please, if you have a comment or suggestion please let me know, like I said I will try anything.

Molly's Birthday in Georgia!!

Molly had a great birthday here in Georgia. She loves to have parties. When we left to go to Georgia she made me pack up all of her party decorations so that we can decorate down here. She is so funny!!!
After the party was over she was playing with her new "Happy Birthday My Little Pony" set and was singing Happy Birthday to them. She even made me put the birthday table cloth out so they had decorations. Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Craig got her a new Princess Scooter, which she loves. She has been riding it around all over the place. I had bought some small gift for her back at home for her to have down here but I had forgot them, because I hid them so well. So when we got down here I had to go back out and find something for her to open for her birthday. That was a real challenge. I did manage to find a few things one being a Princess CD player.
I was really surprised that I didn't cry on this birthday. I have cried on all of her birthday. I don't know if it was because we were somewhere different or what. I was talking to Michael about this and told him that it is ok that she is turning 4 but I know that when 5 comes around I will be so upset. I know that it is around the corner and will be here before I know it.

Molly @ the Spa!!

I took Molly to a nail salon to get her first manicure and pedicure in Georgia. It was so much fun!! She loved it. Michael said that I am ruining her. The lights in the water in the pedicure chairs changed colors. She was very fascinated by this. The little ladies asked if she would like to get a flower painted on her nails and she was so excited that they could do this. Although, the lady had to re-due her big toe twice. It was a very fun experience and I plan to do this again with her.

Georgia Here We Are!!

So we made it to Georgia!! We are so glad to be here. The trip here was ok! We got to leave around 11 pm. The drive went fairly well except that we hit some traffic in Chattanooga, TN. The was a bad wreck and injuries. We had to sit in non-moving traffic for hours. The girls did ok during this time. The woke up about an hour into it. And of course when Molly woke up the first thing she said was, "Dad I have to pee!!" So Michael had to hold her out the door and let her pee on the interstate. The best part of it was when the traffic started to move again you could see on the road that we must have not been the only ones who needed to pee. We got to Jennifer's house around 10 am. Molly kept on say "Mom I just want to get to Aunt Jennifer's house!!" She didn't understand why the sun was up and we still wasn't there. It was funny to hear her talking about it. The weather here is GREAT!! We are in shorts and t-shirts. The girls are having a blast playing with their cousins and Mom and Dad are enjoying time with Jennifer and Craig. I'm sure I will post more later.

Hooded Towles!!

I love these hooded towels from Khols!! We have five, I think. The girls love them and so does Mom.

Updates!!

Ok-I told you all that I wouldn't take so long to post something again so here I am. We are still pretty busy around here. We are getting ready to leave to go to Georgia for 10 days. We are all sooooo excited. Molly can't wait because we are going to be having her 4th birthday down there. Aunt Jennifer is going to make her a castle cake. She knows that she is going to be having a party down there and thinks that it is sooo cool. We will have another one here when we get back. It is so hard to think that she is going to be 4. It doesn't seem that long ago that I just had her.
Carly is doing well also. She is so funny. She cracks us up all the time. She is getting big. She is starting to loose that baby bell and getting taller. She has surprised us twice this week with getting out of her crib by herself. I had thought that the crib was down on the lowest setting but I guess it isn't. Michael told me that it wasn't last night. He does all that kind of stuff with the kids things. Needless to say, it will be put on the lowest setting today when he gets up. I'm not ready for her to be running free yet.
I've started those online classes I mentioned in the last post. It is going pretty well. The start of it was pretty boring but now it is getting more challenging. I love learning new things. I love taking these classes like this because I'm able to do it at my own pace. With two kids, a husband, two dogs, one cat, and three other children I watch that is a GREAT plus.
As you can tell I haven't got to mess with my computer to see why I can't download pictures yet. As a matter of fact I'm typing this on Michaels' laptop. I'm going to look on here to see if there is any pictures I can post. Even if they are older ones, at least there will be some pictures. Right?
Well I will post more later, but for now I have to go. Again the kids got quiet!!

Sooo Busy!!

Hello to all!! So sorry for not being able to post more. I've been really busy with my pampered chef things, kids, husband, pets, babysitting, showing the house, cleaning up the yard for spring, and I could go on and on.
We are all doing well. I've been having some trouble with the computer not letting me upload pictures so that is also another excuse why I have posted in a while. So to make Rob happy, I told her that I would post something. So here you go girl!! No get off my case. Love ya!! I hope that Michael will be able to figure out why I can't post pictures. I do have a ton of cute ones to post so when I do, hold on it will be a lot.
I am happy to say that I had a wonderful thing happen to me last Sunday. My family joined the church that we have been visiting for quiet some time. Lincoln Hills Christian Church. I also got baptized on Sunday as well. I was a wonderful day. I feel so very blessed with such great friends and a wonderful family. Rob has posted pictures on her blog about it, so please feel free to look at it.
I've also taken on another adventure of taking some online classes. I hope to do well at it. Michael takes classes online and loves it. I thought that I would give it a try. So please pray that I do well with it.
OK-so I will try to update more often but now I must go...the children are being to quiet.

BIG BABY!!

This is the name of the new baby doll that came into our home at Christmas. Carly Beth got this baby doll from her Uncle BOBO and Aunt Teresa. We all love BIG BABY!! Carly wants us to love on her and change her and feed her. I think it is so cute to see the girls take care of her. Here is these pictures, Mommy was fixing dinner for the REAL girls and they were feeding BIG BABY. Don't know if you can see that BIG BABY is eating green olives or not. But that was what Molly said was her favorite.

Puffy Paint!!

While I was in Denver my mother-in-law bought the girls some puffy paint. Molly really loves it and she does about a dozen pictures a day. Just here in the past week or two, Carly Beth has been picking up on it. She is soooo funny to watch her try to squeeze the paint out of the little tubes. Here are some picture of her doing it. I was laughing so hard I could barely get the pictures taken. Then of course when she saw the camera she would say cheese and grin from ear to ear.

New Years Eve

I'm trying to get caught up here!! It is almost the end of Jan. and I'm posting New Years pictures. Hey at least they are on here right? OK...as long as I can remember I've always spent New Years with Rob. We always have a great time and what other way to celebrate the new year with the people closest to you in your life. This year we went to Matt's house. Michael helped Matt put some furniture together and do some odd and end things. I had to share the best part of the night, and I know Rob you are going to love it too....Michael got the honors of hanging up Matt's Boar in the living room. For as long as I've had my husbands deer head on MY living room wall Rob has been disturbed by it and I love it that now she has a Boar on her wall. After we got it up it really doesn't look bad!! LOVE YA ROB!! As the new year drew closer, some of Matt's friend showed up and they got a game of cards going. I'm not in these pictures because I was really sick. Right after midnight I had my shoes on and was ready to go curl up in my bed. The rest of the weekend, we were all sick. But regardless of not doing anything crazy for the new year....I wouldn't do it any other way, then to spend it with my husband and my best friend!! Thanks Rob!!

Pictures of Denver

Here are some of the wonderful pictures I got while I was in Denver. I was soooo pretty there. I loved the ones of the sunrise with the capital building in the view. That was taken from the hotel window. Can you imagine that view when you woke up in the morning. I would love to go back there so that my husband can see it. I just don't think that we will fly.....ROAD TRIP!!

Christmas Pictures

I know...it is the middle of January and I'm just now getting them on here. But at least I'm getting them on here.

We had such a good Christmas!! My sister-in-law Jennifer from Georgia came up to stay with us a few day and with her in-laws too. I was so nice to see them. We had a great time Christmas morning when the kids woke up. There was so many presents under the tree between my two kids and her three kids. Molly had a tree in her room, and when she woke up she came running to us and told us how Santa put 2 presents under her tree. It was so cute. Then the night before we spread reindeer food outside that she made in preschool. She even made some for her cousin Jason. We go online and got to see where Santa was, and when she saw that he was close, we ran to the bedroom, read some Christmas books, and then she was out. After opening the presents at our house we pack up and go to Nana's in our Christmas PJ's. We open present over there and have Christmas lunch. Then we go home and I start to get my house, and myself ready for my side of the family to come over for presents and dinner. It is a little crazy and a lot in one day, but I love it that we all get together. I felt very blessed this year. I have a great husband, two gorgeous kids, and some wonderful friends. What else can you ask for??

I'M BACK!!

OMG!!! I'm so glad to be back. I had a GREAT time in Denver, but that is going to have to be another blog. Getting there and getting back was awful. Like I said before I can't stand to fly. I was able to get some medicine to come my nerves. The bottle and the nurse told me to take it 1-2 tablets 30 minutes before flight. I did. We had to get on a LITTLE, what I want to call a toy plane, that we had to board OUTSIDE!! It was cold raining and it was about 6 am. The were in no hurry to get us on, so I had to stand there outside one the steps to the plane for quiet some time. I did get pretty upset. Stephany and Dennese suggested that I go ahead a take another pill because it seemed as it wasn't working for me. So I did. We got up in the air and things went Ok. The rest of it I don't remember. LOL!! The girls said that I was walking very, very slow. I didn't say much, but when I was asked if I was ok, I just smiled and said yes. I don't remember leaving Chicago to go to Denver, and pretty much most of that day. BUT....the best part of that is...I don't remember flying at all and to me that is GREAT!!
Now coming home wasn't to bad. I got on the plan to go to Chicago fine (with the help of 1 pill). Once we were in Chicago, we had a little of a lay over. When it came time for our plane to leave it couldn't because of a maintenance problem. The were trying to tell us that they were going to get it fix and we would only be delayed for 1 hour. My nerves really didn't like that. I didn't want to get on ANY plane that was having ANY kind of maintenance problems. I was really upset last night. Finally, they did canceled our flight. The airline put us up in a room and gave us a food voucher. We were able to get a flight home at around 7am this morning and I pulled into my driveway around 11:30 am.
I was never so excited to see my children's smiley faces!! When I came into the house and was finally able to put my arms around their little bodies tears of joy ran down my face like never before. I was also so glad to give my husband a huge kiss and enjoyed so much to be wrapped up in his arms again.
I know to many, flying isn't anything to you. But it is too me. I hope that the next time you fly and you may noticed that there is someone over there in the corner crying or pacing, that maybe my story will help you to understand maybe that they are going through the samething I did. Anyways, thanks for all of your Prayers!!!

Denver

I'm leaving for Denver tomorrow morning. I'm going there for a conference for Pampered Chef. I'm excited about all the new stuff I will get to see and learn. But I'm also very sad, because this will be the longest I will be away from my children. I know that they will be ok because my husband is wonderful with them. I love him for that. Tonight I told Molly that I was going to be gone for a few days and I wouldn't be hear when she gets us. She said to me "Mommy will you call me?" I told her that I would and that I would miss her very much. Then she told me, "I'll be ok mom. I'll tell you that on the phone when you call." So then I asked her to come sit with me so that I could hold her. She doesn't ever fall asleep in my arms. She has always been like that. Even when she was a baby. She always goes to bed on her own. Not tonight, she fell right asleep in my arms on my lap. It was so sweet. My heat is still hurting because I will miss them. Another issue for me is that I can't stand to fly. Robin can vouch for that. I'm the worst to fly with. There isn't anything that I like about it, at all. So please keep me in all of your prayers.
I will let you all know when I return safely.

Molly and Santa

Molly and Carly got there picture taken with Santa. Molly was so amazed by him it was so cute. As you can see there is no picture of Carly. She did not like him. I couldn't get her picture taken with them. We go up to Harrison County REMC every year to do this. I love that they let them get their picture taken with Santa. They also have the Easter Bunny in the Spring. Another thing that they do is they send the kids a letter from Santa too. Molly enjoyed me reading the letter so much that we were reading it every night. It was too cute.
