January

So my parents looked at a house during Christmas break that was 1.5 miles from where they were living on the farm. They instantly LOVED it and moved mid January. For us, that meant that we got to move into their old house- the house I grew up in! I never really loved where we were at in Richland because we never saw my family. They lived 30 min. away so we only went out there once every week or two. Plus, we didn't have a fun yard for the kids. Chris and I have always wanted to live out in the country where we grew up and were SO excited to be able to, and all of the sudden!

So January started normal, we didn't know we were going to move. 

Girls night with Trisha and Amy!

Chris' yellow truck. The kids LOVE it!

Addysin said, "I look like Hannah Montana!" Okay?! She remembers everything she sees even once.

She LOVES to color and draw.

Her first time holding a baby on her own! She was very happy about that.

We left this view behind.

The bed I make on the floor every night so they dont have to sleep with us. Yes, they used to come into our room every night to sleep with us until recently (April). Addysin was/is much worse than Caiden. I would make the bed before I went to sleep and Addysin would be there in the morning, sometimes Caiden.  This pic is at nap time.

Just before we began packing, I found out I was pregnant!! I wasn't sick at all so I packed like crazy hoping that "today" wasn't my last day of good health. But let me tell you!! My lower back KILLED during all of the packing and moving! It was pretty painful at the end of every day.

It only took 4 months after having my IUD removed so we were really blessed. I buy my pregnancy tests at Dollar Tree. They work! I take one if I have a tiny symptom of pregnancy. I wasn't having any symptoms but felt like taking one. Negative. Like 3 days later, I was so anxious to take another one for no reason. I just kept thinking I was pregnant. Sure enough, I was. 4 weeks and 3 days (Once I had my ultrasound and they determined the due date, I calculated back and realized that). We are SOOOO excited. We got moved, unpacked and decorated in a few days and right when things were done I got sick! I was so blessed. And then to top it off, I was only sick for 2 weeks!

Here is my little mischievous boy. While packing he destroyed my wedding bouquet.  RRRRR. Serious, he can be such a stinker.

Oh, but he is so sweet too! 

Caiden is saying, "ho, ho, ho!"

January 25- 5 weeks, my waste was already expanding! I thought I was 4 weeks further.

We have loved having family and friends over to our "new house" on the farm. Its huge and has a gigantic family room with a pool table, an indoor pool, and tons of space for the kids to run around and not bother me :) And outside we have a playground! Addysin LOVES LOVES LOVES this house. Whenever we would stop at our "temple house" for mail, she would freak out thinking we were moving back. And when she would misbehave, I would threaten, "we're gonna move back to the Temple house if you dont stop that!" Worked EVERY time.
