New Look

As if there wasn't enough new change coming to our house.  I decided to go with a Rachel McAdams look.  I saw a picture of her with this type of hair style and decided to give it a try.  It is so easy, I just wash and put a hand full of moose in it and it is dry in about 15 minutes.  The simplest hair style ever.  Which has been convenient for me since I have no energy with carry my little nausea machine and keeping up with my 3 little bouncing beans.  We will see how long it last before I grow it back out.  That is usually what happens every time I cut it short, it doesn't last long and then I grow it back out. 

 

This is the new me for now!

 

 

4 is the New 3

I love this picture of the kids playing with the doll house.  It is never really played with the correct way. It just used as a climbing toy.  We are going to have to get a bigger doll house, there isn't room for 4.  Yes you read correctly we are expecting our 4th little bundle of joy.  4 is really the new 3, haven't you heard?

 

Ironically Payton has been asking for a baby sister for the past 6-8 months probably.  She has even prayed that God will give her one.  I have explained to her that we might have a boy or a girl.  She will tell you " God is going to give us a baby girl."  I don't look forward to the conversation to come if he doesn't. 

 

We are very excited, and boy or a girl I am sure the boys will make sure it is rough and tough.  We will find out what we are having, being I am such a planner(or obsessive compulsive some would say) and it will make all the difference of who is in what room.  Payton has already been kissing my belly everyday saying hello, or goodbye to the baby.  She will be old enough to hopefully be a big help.  I know it sounds a little crazy to have 4 kids 5 and under.  Payton luckily will turn 5, two months before the baby arrives.  I like chaos and I wanted them close in age.  They will grow up with interest in the same things along the way and play together so well.  Ok and fight over everything but you know I am looking at the positive!! 

 

I am offically 8 weeks along and remembering why I hate being preganant, with waves of nausea.  I have my zofrane (nausea pills) thank heavens for that.  I think it will be the fastest pregnancy yet with the distraction of taking care of 3 children everyday. 

Pictures will come later, I also did another fun change, next posting!

 

 

 

 

Preschool

Today was the day.  The last first day of preschool.  Payton was so excited last night.  She ate breakfast in a hurry filled with excitement about getting to go to school.  It is so hard to believe this is her second year of preschool already.  Her Nana took her shopping to pick our a bow to match her shirt.  Oh.. the fun picking out accessories to go with your outfit.  She was proud she got to do by herself.  We also learned today they have a new rock climbing wall and you can only climb it if you wear tennis shoes.  That was the first thing she wanted to make sure I knew so she can climb on Friday.  Growing up so fast.   

 

I love that cute little ornery face.  Such a girly girl!!

The August Rundown

Seeing as I didn't do any posting all last month, I though I would do an overview. Mainly for my own records of events that went on. The month was so packed and busy it just flew by. Of course more chaos awaits the next couple of months.(the more for you to read) That is what I love, doing school, bible study, small group, soccer, play dates, gym, date nights, and football games. I don't think you can squeeze any more fun into the fall. Here we go with pictures:

Fall Beginings

Well since I have taken the entire month of August off.  I didn't really plan it like that,just kind of happened.  I enjoyed waking up to rain this morning, and getting to put on jeans.  As much as I love summer I am looking forward to saying good-bye hot days and hello to football, jeans, and Starbucks mocha's! Last week Payton had meet the teacher at preschool and getting to enjoy this holiday weekend.  I am excited for what this fall will bring.
