So I feel like we have been sick around here for a couple months straight. Okay this might be a bit of an exaggeration but when children are involved it really feels like it drags on and on. We have had everything that has gone around. Adalyn had the flu a couple weeks back, thankfully no one else got that and hers was mild. And we had the stomach bug when that was going around, we all go that one. And this past week and a half the girls have awful coughs and Adalyn has had a fever along with some vomiting. The worst part though, NIGHTTIME. I feel like a walking zombie, with Adalyn waking up in the middle of the night and staying up for two hours or more. So ready for warmer weather.
On that note, I feel like pediatricians are a waist of my money and time most times that I take my kids. I pay to have them listen to their lungs, look in their ears, and mouth and tell me well they just have the crud that's going around. Maybe I am just stupid and don't know what I need to take my child in for, but a nasty cough that sounds like their lungs are coming up and a fever, I assume they may have something. They didn't even test her for flu again, even though I have been hearing that it is coming back after a wek or two with a lot of people. Anywho, I really want a pediatrician that is the same each time I go and really knows my kids, so needless to say I am shopping around.
All that said today was a nice day weather wise, so we got out to enjoy!! I am looking forward to the summer time. Adalyn will be walking and we can get back out doors. Yay for that. I hate when we are so cooped up because it is so cold.
Next Saturday Adalyn turns ONE! I can't believe she is that big already. I still look at her like she's a baby until she does one of those more grown up things like climb up in a chair and sit and rock in it, or try to mimic what we say. She also likes to get markers and crayons her sister leaves down and open for her. Needless to say magic erasers are my best friend in these moments. Every mom should have a small stock of these puppies because they are a life saver at times, but be careful sometimes walls don't like them depending on the paint. Oh and I would add bleach to what you need in your home, it always makes me feel like the house is truly clean.
I'll post pictures later!

Brand New!
I've been reading some blogs and decided to start my own. I have things I'd like to share, but don't feel that facebook is the place. SO here I can say what I want and it doesn't show up in your face like a facebook post. Not all of my "friends" on facebook would always agree with my opinions, so I try to be respectful of that and think of them.
SOO, if you read my posts it's your fault if you dont like what I say :)
Another reason I wanted to blog was to have a journal of sorts. I'm bad about writing in mine and maybe this I will be better at. We shall see.
I am a mother of two fantastic girls, and a wife to an amazing man. Our children are 2 and a half and 11 months. We live in northwest Arkansas and love it here. I grew up in Houston, Texas and moved to this area when I was 11. Aaron (that husband I mentioned) has lived right here his whole life. We love northwest Arkansas though and are glad our home is here. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I joined the church when I was seventeen the summer before my senior year of high school. Best decision I have ever made. Who knows where life would have taken me without it. It is a major part of my life so of course it will be mentioned. I am opinionated though I try to be respectful of others opinions and know that someone will always disagree and that's okay. To far either way is bad, you must find a balance in all things.
A little about each of us:
Me: I am a stay at home mom for now. I have my degree in early childhood education and still have a great passion to teach, but felt it was more important at this time to be with my kids. Being a mom is a tough job, but one with many rewards also. I love to work on my genealogy and find out about my family, there is a certain thrill that comes with it. If you've never researched your ancestors you should!
Aaron: Owns a business called NuFangled images. It is a video/multimedia company. He does lots of work transferring home videos from multiple facets of old technology, and much much more. Check out nufangledimages.com NOt to mention he works for a logistics company on top of that. He works a lot, but it's a tremendous blessing. He loves filming and editing. If he could do anything he would write and produce films,t hat is his real passion, but for now this is his road.
Kayla: Wow. She is 2 and a half right now, and such a joy. I can't believe she is already so big. We enjoy her sweet spirit. She loves to dance and sing, but her greatest joy READING! She has been a book worm since she was 9 months literally. We could lay her down and read a book to her and she would just look at the pictures and be into the book. Her favorite songs are twinkle twinkle little star, the itsy bitsy spider, Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam, and Come Coe ye Saints, We sing these every day.
I am so grateful Heavenly Father blessed us with her.
Adalyn: 11months old, and wow does the second grow ten times faster than the first. I feel like I just brought her home yesterday, then again I wouldn't do those first three months over again. She is about ready to walk and goes anywhere and everywhere she can. Especially the stairs. If the gate is not up she knows and she beelines it for them. She says mama, dada, and bye bye while waving. SHe tries to mimic other words but these are the clearest. Her tooth count is up to 6 now! If she hears music her body starts moving. We love to watch ehr bounce and dance. Her favorite food is vanilla wafers.
Each child brings a new joy and she has definitely added that to our home. Kayla is her favorite person and they get along great!
Have a fantastic week!
