3 Months

Bryson turned 3 months the other day and here are some pictures showing how big he is getting.

Recent Pictures of the little ones playing

We were being lazy this weekend so Alexis pulled out TJ and he was reading to the kids.

His first smell of popcorn I don't think he liked it

Look what I was doing at 11 weeks

Time for Prayers

Since I started this blog it's been mainly filled with the good times we have spent as a family and the kids always smiling and having a good time, but it's time to ask those that read this blog to please say a prayer for our family right now.
Right before going back to work I proposed my new hours to the bank and since I was part-time and still working the same amount of hours and considering part-timers always change up their schedules I figured it would be no problem...boy was I wrong they basically told me that if I didn't work the entire day on Fridays they would be forced to put my position up.
Since After school care is an issue with us and basically I would be working for free on Fridays after paying for 3 children in Daycare I told them I could not do that so I was forced out.
I was offered to come back to work but be placed on the travel staff and I couldn't afford to do that either since the amount they give you for travel would not even cover the gas at this time.
So I was forced to quit.
We have been getting by this last 3 months by cutting corners but the worst scenario has hit our family.
Devin's position has been eliminated.
His company has restructured and his position is gone.
Those that know me know that I am strong and have been through a lot of things but this time I am scared.
I know Devin has so much talent and experience but I can't help but wonder how long we will make it especially with the Economy right now the way it is.
Please pray that things will turn around for us I don't think anything else can go wrong :)

Pumpkin Patch

Tyler had to go to Bloomington for a soccer game so he asked us to pick him up a pumpkin since there was no other time that he could go with us. There was some huge pumpkins out there! We ended up picking up just some small ones for the kids.











He did not appreciate this at all!



Waiting for the Hay ride.

Halloween Party

The Bounce House was a hit with the kids. Alexis loved doing the crafts.
Once the sun went down they put a little light in the bounce house and it looked like one huge haunted house and it didn't stop the kids from jumping for hours!

I have been tagged :)

• Thanks Melissa for the tag.

So I am now supposed to share 7 random and or weird facts about myself.
I don't know if these would be weird and I'm not sure if I can even think of 7 things to share but here it goes:

1. I crave sweets, Ever since being pg with Bryson I wake up wanting chocolate. I could eat candy bars for b-fast and be just fine but that would be so unhealthy so I have to fight my cravings everyday.

2. I have OCD when it comes to leaving dishes in the sink overnight. I blame this one on my mom( I know your gonna read this but sorry it's true :) If Devin cleans up the dishes after dinner and fills up the pans with water to soak them I have to go back downstairs after putting the kids to bed to wash them out just so I don't think about it all night long. I have left them overnight before when being overly tired but it bugs me so bad.

3. One dream I have is to move close to the Ocean don't care if it's the Pacific or the Atlantic just as long as I am by the water I am going :)

4. I hate to dust, this is 1 chore I give to Tyler and luckily he hasn't complained yet I'm sure he will complain when is gets older :)

5. My favorite Holiday is Christmas, just seeing the excitment in the kids eyes on Christmas Day speaks for itself.

6. My goal one day is to run a marathon, right now it's getting too cold to run outside and of course we don't have a treadmill so I have to put this goal to the side again but one day I will do it :)

7. Hmmm can't think of anything else but if I do I'll add it here.

Now I have to take some people so here you go.....Tag your it:

Brenda
Cassie
Daron

And anyone else who wants to play along (Bryson is crying so I don't have time to add anyone else)

Sunday's B-day Party and Colts Game

Sunday we went to a B-day party for Ella. Alexis had a great time playing with all of Ella's toys! They did a Pinata and of course Alexis brought home as much candy as she could get her hands on.
One of Ella's b-day presents was a doll crib for her little baby doll and Bryson had fallen asleep a couple times over there so instead of laying him down on the couch we used Ella's new b-day present (HA)!
Devin thought it was so rude us putting him in a baby doll crib with a PINK blanket but he didn't know any different and he slept so good in there LOL
Bryson ready to watch the game

Final Game

Lexi's final Soccer game was this past Saturday. She really tried her best. Her attention span was really short during this season and she liked to play with the kids or do flips or even run around in a circle more than she did playing Soccer so I think we will pass on Soccer for her next year and then see if there is more of an interest on her part when she is tad older.
Couple pics from her final game

Baby Laughs

I love when they start laughing out loud it's so cute!!

Being overly Tired has hit my kids

Especially Tyler!! Last night he was so mad at me that he had the nerve to say "I have the worse life ever"........I said Excuse me? You have the worse life huh how about we take a trip to the Homeless Shelter and I will show you who is having a bad day or a bad life!
He was having a rough day yesterday, he has to be on the bus by 6:40 am, he then had the mile run yesterday (came in 3rd place out of 26 kids I was so proud of him). Then 2 hours of homework last night and then an hour and a half of soccer practice and then by the time we had dinner it was 8pm.
He came home and was so snotty and rude to myself, Devin and Alexis so I told him he had TV taken away for 1 day till he learned how to talk to us with respect.
That really set him off.
I had a talk with him after his shower and told him he is probably doing too much and if he is stressed out he should not play indoor soccer coming up...he said he was ok and still wanted to play.
Now I have to decide by Thursday if it's a good decision to sign him up for indoor, I don't like how tired he is getting.

Baby making days are officially over!

Looking at my kids I thank God everyday for what I have been provided. He has blessed me tremendously. But we are officially done.

I took Devin to his Doctors Apt. yesterday. They gave his a couple valium to calm his nerves and the procedure took about 15 min.
When he came out to the waiting room he spread his arms and said all done I'm ready to drive home....I laughed and said no you are not, his eyes were supper glossy and you could tell the valium had kicked in because of his slurred speech.
He was feeling fine so we went and got something to eat and he was so calm even after getting hit by 2 cars on the way to the restaurant he didn't even bat an eye LOL.
After getting home he slowly plopped down on the couch and Alexis helped take his shoes off and he slept for awhile.
He needed help getting up yesterday and he said it felt like he had been racked real hard but I think he is doing much better today :)
