BOYS, BOYS AND MORE BOYS!!!

So, most of you know I am doomed with boys all boys. We just found out on Monday we are........................................yep having another boy!! Go figure. Of course we were expecting a little girl and to our surprise, it's a boy. Chinese calendar says girl, we went through certain steps to have a girl and still a boy. I know I am just destined to have boys boys and more boys. So, last Friday I had to mentally start preparing myself that my ultrasound on Monday was going to tell me I was having a boy, so what do I do. I decide I am going to get all the fun girl things out of my system and Krew will be my guinea pig. Here's what I came up with:

Trust me that is not a smile at the top!! He hated my guts for doing it!! In fact they are still painted and he comes up to me everyday, lifts his foot up to me and says, "Mommy, OFF!"

I love it I love it I love it!! Here is the face afterwards:

Once again, not a smile!! Adam hates me too for doing it, and then posting it on the internet to show the world that I painted my sons toes PINK!! Haha

Pretty Proud

So, I have been doing good keeping up wouldn't you say. Alot has gone on this weekend and I can't really get into it a whole lot. Let's just say it involves my mother and an attorney.

Sometimes I sit here and ponder on how grateful I am for Adam's family and my father. I feel like these are the only people in my life that would never do anything to intentionally hurt us, besides my close friends. I have learned so much in life and sometimes cutting people out of your life, including your mother, is what the Lord has planned for now. It seems as though, every time I "take a break" from her, my life is so much more simple and easy going. The problem is, she is my mom and there isn't much I can do about that. As I sit here and look at my little guy, he looks at me with his huge brown eyes with trust that I would never hurt him and I could never imagine doing/saying some of the things my mother has done and said. This is like my online journal so if there are people reading this that don't like it, then I guess don't read it!!

I have actually tried being the bigger person and mending things, however, after speaking to a handful of people, it seems as though this relationship is not salvageable for now!! Damage has been done way too deep to imagine. It's amazing to me though that the people she has slandered me to, have actually defended me and put her in her place to say the least. I am truly blessed for those people that have stuck up for what is right!!

I feel like I am constantly reminded of my past when she is around or when we have a disagreement she can only shoot me down with my past and I think that everyone is just tired of her role as the "victim". I have just learned in life that there are more important things to cherish and I am not going to sit around and allow anyone to make me seem like I am a bad person.

I am always the first to say, I am not perfect and I have made mistakes, BIG ONES!! However, when people change, others need to allow them to forget about the past and move forward. Still to this day, I have not said nor will I ever say 1 bad thing about my mother to defame her character. I choose to be a bigger/better person than that.

Other than that, life has been ok. It's 8 pm, my little guy just went down for bed, no problems and I am on my way to jump into bed for a much needed 12 hours of sleep. I have a long week ahead of me.

First Week Back from Vacation

So, this is our first week back since our vacation and the week has flown by. Being pregnant can be the best and worst thing at the same time. I have pregnancy brain and I now forget everything. It's kind of funny. We had an amazing trip in Utah. Sometimes I think I want to move back there, but then I get here and it just fits too. Adam has been working for the same company for 2 years and there is a position possibly opening up that will take us to Salt Lake. I have been thinking about it and wondering if things would be good there. I miss all my friends back there and it seems like the air is cleaner, however, I have mixed feelings. I absolutely hate hate hate the snow and refuse to live near it.

I shot some pictures of Adam's sister Callie and they turned out pretty dang good. Callie and I were super close before Adam and I got married and we had a falling out at one point, but who hasn't been there done that!! Well, I can honestly say that we both had a lot of growing up to do... ALOT!!!! We have been able to mend our relationship and are closer now than ever before. I love that girl.

We have a baby appointment again on Friday and we get to hear the heartbeat this time. I am really happy and really nervous as always. I have really got to get a grip on my emotions with this baby. GEEZ thanks Adam!! LOL. Well I am heading back to Utah the first week of July, can't wait!!

I have also had the opportunity to reunite with an old friend Mandi Jean. It's amazing how much you can love a person you haven't seen for almost 2 years. She stayed at our house while away in Utah and she is there for me whenever I need her. She is truly my BEST friend!! Thanks Mandi for all you do!!!

Really I haven't blogged since November!!

Wow, how time flies by eh!! Alot has happened since my last post and I am going to try to be better at keeping up like I use to. My photography has just hit the ground running and it has left me little time for blogging and my family. I have decided to limit my photography time to "once in a while" if you will. My poor husband has been Mr. mommy for a while now and I have to step in and help out.

We also just found out (the day before April fools) that WE'RE EXPECTING. I will have to post some prego pictures soon.

Krew turned 2 on May 30th and is growing like a weed. He is talking now and his favorite things are cars and balls. He is definitely taking after his daddy.

We are spending this week in Utah with family and it's been such a fun vacation. I miss Utah and all my friends here, but reality is we live in good ol' arizona.

Once again with my pregnancies, come issue after issue after issue. If you read my whole blog you would see that I just have issues with pregnancies! Well, this one is that way as well. It started off with me needing my apendix removed and then getting hyperthyroid disease. Thank heavens that is temporary. So, this may just be our last one. We will decide after I see what we are having. 3 boys might not do it for me just yet.

I can't believe that it's 2010! Adam and I will be married for 5 years this December and I can't believe how time flies by. It's so funny to see old friends and where they are now and I can't thank God enough for my husband. I am so glad we have one another and we love each other so much. There is so much divorce and craziness happening in the world.

I will be posting a little more now so until next time......
