My Life

Ok, so I have been horrible about posting lately. Life has been crazy busy and believe it or not the last thing I want to do is get on the computer and download pictures. A lot has gone on I just have not had the motivation to post it.
I do need to vent a little about what I have been feeling lately. I feel tired, fat, unable to manuever, overwhelmed and completely anxious. My life is about to change with this next baby and I am not sure how I am going to handle it. Sure, I already have 3 kids what is one more.....are you kidding? I am totally outnumbered now and I definitely don't have time to be tired. I hope that I can hold my life together and move gracefully into the next phase of my life. Wish me luck.

Trip to Arizona

This last weekend we drove to AZ for Taylor's sisters wedding. If it were any other circumstance I would not have put my 37 week pregnant body into a car with 3 children for 6 hours, but we had to do it for family!! Natasha's wedding day was the same day as Natalie's 5th birthday. Natasha was so concerned that Natalie not feel forgotten that she made a birthday cake for her and put it on display at the reception right next to the REAL wedding cake. Natalie felt life a true princess that day...she probably did not even realize that a wedding was going on!!

Grandpa's Game

My dad came up with a cute game/challenge to play with Cooper and I just had to take pictures of it. My dad was chipping golf balls into Cooper's direction and he was to catch them and put them into the bucket. If he could do it 3 times in a row with out missing then he could have a cookie. I thought this game would be done very quickly but soon realized it is not as easy as it looks. Cooper would get two in a row and then miss on the third. He was getting very frustrated especially since the whole family was out there watching. Eventually he did it and got his cookie.

Natalie's Bike Ride

A few days ago Taylor challenged Natalie to try riding her bike without the training wheels. She was reluctant at first but agreed to at least try. After a couple of falls and scraped knees she was ready to give up. Taylor (being the loving and patient dad that he is...haha) sat her down and gave her a pep-talk. He explained that Cooper was 5 years old when he learned and that if she could learn how to do it right away than she would beat him!! Natalie jumped up with a smile on her face and tried one last time. She is now riding all over our cul-de-sac all by herself. She is very happy that she mastered this skill before Cooper did.

Our Anniversary

September 9th was Taylor and I's anniversary. I can not believe that we have been married for 7 years. I can honestly say that it has been so fun to be married to Taylor, he keeps me laughing even through the toughest times!! He is such a wonderful father to our kids and he is getting better at the husband thing...haha. I love him so much!!

Cody

With both of the older kids in school and the new baby not here yet, Cody and I get to spend a lot of time together. The other day he was bored and following me around crying so I figured I would let him do something he is never allowed to do when the other kids are home........jump off of the couch onto a pile of pillows. He had the greatest time. Oh, the things we do to make our kids happy!!!
