No more blogging

My life has taken a turn I never thought would happen. And because of this I can't blog until I feel happy again. My blog was for memories for my kids and now I have to take care of them more than ever and not spend my time on here. Whoever reads my blog out there please pray for my family cause we need it.

11 months!

My Grace-belle turns 11 months tomorrow! Where did the time go? Can I say I love this girl to pieces! She makes me laugh, smile, cry and scream but she is the best little girl ever even though she has a temper, no patience, doesn't like things taken from her when I tell her no but those are just minor things, right?! She is a hoot and has her own personality and is the opposite of Hunter. She can play by herself or be right there by you wanting to join in with you. She loves the dishwasher, which is a no. She loves baths and you ask her "want to take a bath and will look right at you and get all excited and if you head towards the bathroom she books it with her crawling. She will come out of nowhere if she hears the bath water running and she is talking her talk the whole way there like she is trying to say "I am coming!" She loves to eat food. If she is cranky and tempermental put food in front of her and she will be a happy camper. She can also climb on the table from her highchair if your not watching her and yes this did happen and I am always watching her now! She loves to give loves to Misha and this is where she puts her head on Misha when Misha is on the couch she does it all the time. She loves her Misha dog. Her new thing is pointing her finger out and saying her talk. She is almost always happy and is a very easy going girl. I can't believe she is one month closer to being one! She is also getting more daring with her walking but isn't there yet. But can stand on her own for a few seconds.

Stockings!

I ordered our first stockings with all of our names on them and they came today. Here is a picture of them. I had to hang them on the wall cause I don't have a fireplace or mantle to hang them on so I made do. I really like them alot! I ordered them from Pottery Barn kids. I wanted to get them when Hunter was born but didn't but I am so glad I did now with both the kids. I can't wait to fill them up with crazy inexpensive stuff! Today at my work I order bandaids for the kids and adults and I asked if I could order Hunter some Little Einstein bandaids for his stocking so they said I could! He is going to love them and they are going in his stocking! Does anyone else love stockings as much as I do?

Christmas pictures!

We did our Christmas pictures yesterday! Thank you Uncle Coco for doing them for us. Larry left today for Canada so we only had a few days of him being here with Christmas decorations up. We got some good ones and some funny ones. Hunter wasn't the greatest with the photo op but Grace was a champ until she had enough or we were yelling to many instuctions at the kids. Nathan was a trooper too and we did it! I just ordered my Christmas cards last night at Costco and already have them in my hot little hands. I think they turned out pretty cute but I am biased since it is my family. I will try to post some pictures form the photo op extravagance soon but I updated my blog with some of them. Grace was the smiler of the two of our kids that is for sure. Hunter wasn't on his game and was more about where his Papa was. But can you blame him when he only saw him for 8 days?!

Here is the only good picture either I took or Larry did not sure but it came from our camera. It isn't the one on our card but I should have put it on it cause I think it is pretty cute and they both are so happy! I love their cheeks and their sparkly eyes!

Selling!

I finally got our house up on RMLS with pictures of it! Yes, we have had it on RMLS for over a week with out pictures of our house but not because I wanted it that way I just didn't know I had to post more on a different website. We are trying to sell it on our own to save money so we are using an internet company to help us and I have already learned that I gotta check out everything to make sure I didn't miss anything.

It is kinda wierd to know that people are actually looking at our house to buy it. No, no one has come by the house yet but just knowing that it is on the WWW is just crazy! I hope that it doesn't take forever to sell it we are giving ourselves 6 months and if it doesn't sell than it was meant to be and we will have to figure out what to do with Grace she might just be sharing a room with her bro.

Speaking of Grace...she has learned that it is SUPER cool to take toys and books of the shelf one at a time and throw them on the floor. Nice, huh?!

Hunter had a low grade fever tonight and had his first dose of Ibuprofen so not sure if this is the start of the sickness for him or not. Both kids have had snotty noses and coughs since last week.

Me, I am good. I am powering through. Working, cleaning, playing with the kids, and cleaning some more cause you know you gotta keep the place clean just in case you get a call that someone wants to look at your house! Only 3 more "sleeps" than Larry will be home! Yeah! I can't wait!

Tenting!

I love this picture of the two kiddos! I brought out Hunter's tent to have them play in since it was pouring cats and dogs outside and Grace loved it! I haven't brought out our IKEA tent (Hunter calls it the polar bear tent not sure if I told him that?) for about a month or so just to get Hunter more excited to play with it little did I know that both my monkey kids would have fun giggling in it and reading books. Aren't they just hams?! I think they look alot alike in this pic.

Grace standing in her crib!

Here is a video I took of Grace a couple of weeks ago when she went from an easy baby to but down to sleep to a very curious stander and not a sleeper. This wasn't the night she started this put I caught her on camera the next night. Not sure if you can tell but she thinks she is the bomb in the video cause she is a big stander. Enjoy the video and sorry I am talking in it but I was getting her to smile for you all! So please enjoy what I have to go through each night minus the sleep sack she currently uses which she can still stand up in mind you! I also got her to growl on camera too! She is such a hoot!
