Updated play house pix!
Poor Marc, he works himself to death!! Seriously, I have one of the hardest working husbands around, but the funny thing is, he LOVES doing stuff like this, physically building. I don't make him, even though, I know some of you may never believe me!!!
CrAzy around here!
Lily Grace's new room, still needs organizing and decorating (old playroom)
Would LOVE to paint it, but since we just painted it this color less than a year ago. I guess I'll keep it, for now. ;)
Ava's room that now has some playroom toys in it until the play house is finished, and it still needs decorating now that we've taken all the baby furniture out! I am painting her a white armoire this week. This room will be cute once it's done. You can see, they drag out everything while I'm cleaning another room!!!
just to show you how much stuff I've got to still go through, this is what is in the baby bed!!!
Aghh... and on the changning table!!
I should be straightening this place up instead of being on the computer, right?? I will post finished pictures once it's all done, but that may be a few weeks from now. I didn't realize this was going to be so much work until I started doing it all. I always change my mind at the last minute. I tell you, adding a third child into the mix is crazy because you have to rearrange the whole house to make new storage places, etc. AND bless her little heart, she gets all the leftovers because by the 3rd one, unless you've got money, you can't afford all that cute new stuff!! AND you realize it's really a waste because they out grow it soooooooo quickly! Trying to make myself feel better, can you tell?? ;)

Azlyn & Ava..
So I had a friend tell me I needed to add some pics. of my silly little girls! Here they are...I hope to be adding some more soon!
Today...
Today I was pretty busy. I had a dr.'s appt. first thing this morning and then a trip to the Children's Museum with other kids/parents from our church. It was fun, but exhausting. At my dr. 's appt. I got an u/s and was told that Lily Grace already weighs 3.11 lbs.!!!!!!!!!!! Oh MY, I know that the ultrasound tech can be off a pound or two and I sure hope that's true! My other two were 6 & 7 lbs. I can't really explain why I am so disturbed at the thought of a "big" baby, but I am. I know, I know, you are all thinking as long as she's healthy and of course that is my #1 concern, but I would rather her be close to the other's weight than 8lbs. or more. Just me being CrAzY, I guess.
So I had a post on here before this post, and I deleted it. I just needed to vent and felt a lot better after posting it, but then later on, I decided that I didn't need to give anyone the satisfaction of thinking they upset me by their "simple minded" comments. ;) Life is full of people who will try and bring you down, especially when they are unhappy in their relationships or situations in life. Just gotta add them to my prayer list and pray for them faithfully, every day.
Do any of you absolutely love your life? I do! I really and truly feel blessed every day for the life God has given me. There was a time when I did not feel this way. I am so thankful to Him for all of the people He has placed in my life. I have the best friends anyone could ask for. I know without a shadow of a doubt that they are there for me if I need them. I have lost a few people I thought were friends over the past year, but have only come to realize they were just seasonal friends or really not friends at all. I have never been happier in my life now that I am married and have a family. I am sooooo thankful for my family. At the end of the day, when I sit in bed and read, I also reflect back on the day and I am so at peace and HAPPY. It just doesn't seem real sometimes. Anyone else feel that way? You probably do if you have Jesus in heart!! ;)
One last thing, so I have decided that I am going to start back to school in January to work on finishing my degree. I have a few classes I am going to take online before I start back at night or during the day. I am soooooo excited about it! Babies, babies, babies, have been my life for the past few years and will be for a few more, but I need to do some things for me to and it's taken me several years to figure this out and not feel guilty about it. Plus, I have a very supportive husband and he encourages me in every decision that I make. He especially wants to see me finish my degree, not just for me, but for our family. I LOVE that man!!

I finally did it!
So I've been thinking about starting my own personal blog for a while now and today I decided I'd do it! I love to write, but a terrible speller! I am excited about this new blog and hopefully I'll keep it updated. I shouldn't make any promises though. I am such a FLAKE!
~ Tonight I met a few girls from church at Olive Garden. I had a really good time visiting with them. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE being able to stay home with my kids, but sometimes I need adult conversation! Most of us have kids around the same age and just talk about mom stuff. I love being able to talk to other moms and listen to their situations or how they do things. However, I think I made all of them feel better about their parenting skills. Haha! I am NOT by the book, not even close to it, but my "parenting" works for me and that's all that matters, right?? ;) Sometimes you just have to figure out what works for you and your family and stick with it. I am not super-mom by any means and I don't try to be. I do LOVE a clean house and I can be very anal about that, but other than that just about anything goes, for now, they are only 3 & 2!!
~ I am sooooooooooooo EXCITED about the girls playhouse. Marc is building them one and I cannot begin to tell you how stinkin' cute it's going to be. I am also excited about Lily Grace getting her own room. I am already thinking of colors, etc. that I want to paint it. You see, originally I did not want to get rid of our playroom so I was going to put Lily Grace in the same room as Ava down the road some time when she got older. Now, we can put most of the toys in the playhouse because it will have electricty and Lily Grace will move into what is now the playroom. Her room may not be done until after she gets here, but that's okay. The playhouse has to be built first!! Have you ever went to TLC's rate my space website? OMG, they have some of the most ADORABLE baby rooms. You should check it out if you have time. Well, gotta run by heartburn is kicking in and I gotta take my meds. God bless!!
