Its almost CHRISTMAS!! :)

I know its been awhile since ive updated this. A lot has gone on these past couple days. :/

Well lets start off by saying MERRY CHRISTMAS! 

Only a couple more days. :) Im so happy to have my husband home this year! This will be our first Christmas as a family. He was deployed to Iraq for our first and Braes first Christmas in "09" and then he deployed to Afghanistan during our second and Brae's second Christmas. SOOOO this is our first Christmas as a family!!! :) And to make it all better his son will be here also :) Which makes us extremely happy :) 

Tuesday Vent. And some other things.

First!!! I love my blog layout!! Yes i made the header :) I love it! and i found the blog background  [HERE] :)

Well for the past couple days I've gotten phone calls and messages from family about a lil girl that will remind anonymous but ill put her name as Jodi. Well I've had problems with her in high school which i thought you know would end (i graduated in 08). But still haven't ended. She ended up dating my brother. Ok fine ill put a smile on my face when I'm around you ill talk to you but i don't have to be your friend. Well since i guess they are finally finished (shes supposed found someone new) idk. I'm 6 hours away i don't have the full scoop haha. But i get pulled into the middle WHY. Because she has the nerve to put my family into first it has to deal with my daughter then myself and now my husband. I'm disgusted. I don't understand why being 6-7 hours away she feels the need to run her mouth. Knowing i wont do anything (I'm not putting my prego self on the line and i no everything i do my husband will get in some trouble for it). But yes i want to go home and slap he silly! 

I'm not perfect. I don't claim to be. I don't get everything i want (but if my husband had the money he would buy me everything, so he says) but I still know my rights from wrongs. And bringing another family into something doesn't need to be brought into is on of the wrong things to do. She is head for no where land. She got charges on her from a previous relationship where she was put in jail and my brother bailed her out (i would of left her there haha). Shes probably going to get charges on her from my brother but hey i don't blame him. 

People back home wonder why we don't visit often. Yes some of it is because we don't have the money and other is because I'm tired of going home and then coming back and next thing you know more dramarama!!! 

Anyway!!!!!

Tomorrow i have a cookie exchange to go to. I'm excited. Only because I'm trying 2 new recipes. Spiral Cookies and Pizza Puffs! Um FOOOOOD! Yay! lol. I'm also excited to meet new people. It been awhile since I've hung out with these people due to something in the past forgive and forget and move on and that's what has happened. I'm excited for Brae to hang out with people her age and i get to talk to adults! YAY!!!! 

Also, this morning Brae woke up with a faucet nose and a weird cough so she has an appt tomorrow morning hoping its just a cold nothing serious. :) I hate when she is sick she babies it all lol. But hey ill take the cuddling. :)

Hope everyone has a great day and week :) 

guess what tomorrow is

ill be 30 WEEKS!!! YAY! Lol. Officially 10 weeks left maybe less. Hopefully not many less. :) Everything has been going great! This pregnancy is almost exactly like my pregnancy with Braelyn. I'm not complaining. Just hope labor is the same way lol :) The past couple week have been hell with heartburn. But its normal. Kinsleigh better come out with a lot of hair! But Anywho, the nesting has started all i want to do is clean my house and re arrange it lol. Braelyn makes the nesting easier since she makes a mess as soon as i clean up the last one so i just clean up the same thing over and over. Also, I feel super huge but when i go back and look at all my pictures it doesn't look like i have changed much in the last couple weeks. Ill take it but i don't want it to hit me in the last month. Lol. Wednesday i had my last iron transfusion apt and when they weighted me i was reaching 160 :( Ive never seen that on a scale even when i was pregnant with Braelyn :( I am hoping i got back down just like i did with Brae. We can only hope thou right.

NO more diapers for Braelyn! Yay! We have only been putting her in diapers at bed time and when we leave the house. But last night when we put a diaper on her she took it off when  she had to go potty and i woke up to a dry bed and baby and pee in the potty. :)  so yup you guessed it diapers are going BUH BYE!!! :) She still has a couple accidents but hey one child in diapers is better then 2 :) And to top it all off. She rather go in the big potty and not her lil one :) I cant believe how much she has grown in the past couple months. She not mommies lil girl anymore :(.

Cookies and Cream Cookies

Well i was searching thru some blogs and i stumbled upon this recipe. I had everything to make them so i figured id try them. They are delicious but gave me heartburn haha. Damn you chocolate! 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup shortening (Butter Flavor)

6 tbsp sugar

6 tbsp brown sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

1-1/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

12 Oreo's, broken up into small pieces

Directions:

- Preheat the over to 350 degrees.

- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the shortening and sugars until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

- Add egg and vanilla and beat until well mixed.

- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

- With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.

- Gently fold in Oreo pieces.

- With a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet about 1-2" apart.

- Bake for 5-8 minutes, until the edges JUST start to brown. Let cool on baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. (I only put mine in for about 5 mins. So make sure you keep an eye on them)

Recipe yields about 30 cookies.

I hope everyone enjoys them. We sure did :) 

This and that! All over the place!

 Officially 29 weeks. If feel like just yesterday i found out i was pregnant! Holy cow. Well i must say the 3rd trimester is now easy at all. Heartburn is crazy. I have it 24/7. My nausea has come back to haunt me. I'm so ready for Kinsleigh to be here thou. I have everything ready. Just need to get a few more things and ill be set. December and January better fly by! 

Today we got some good news! Finally my husband was able submit his package for re-enlistment. Fingers crossed it gets approved. He is LAT moving from CH53 Air framer to CH53 Crew Chief. Should hear by the beginning of the year if it was approved and when he will go to school. Were hoping he wont have to go to school for long since basically qualed in everything for crew chief and all he is doing is moving from the left window to the right window in the bird :) Once he finishes the last finally class we will know if we are going to get re stationed. I'm hoping we do but then again i don't. I just want to get outta base housing if we do end up staying here.

So yesterday Braelyn was doing so good on the potty. She is actually going to the big potty and using that one instead of her little potty. She has learned that she needs to pull her pants down and go (actually she takes them off them puts them back on). We have decided not to put undies on her underneath her pants because she has figured the concept of pulled them down to. Well last night we went to walmart diaper less made Brae pee before we left and then walked around walmart got what we needed at check out i took her to try and go potty (she didn't need to go). She didn't have an accident the whole trip! I think she is getting the hang of it although she has had a couple accidents today she has still made her way to the big potty :) I'm so proud of my little girl who is not so little anymore :(. 

Kinsleigh has be quite active the past couple days today she decided to let her feet be known and stick them out. Brae finally felt her and it freaked her out. I don't think she'll be touching my belly anymore lol. Ive been playing with her feet all day long. :) Tomorrow is my last Iron/B12 apt hoping my blood levels are back up and i wont have to get any more transfusions. 

 Christmas is right around the corner! I'm not too excited for it just because thing have been tight this year. But my family is coming down to spend it with us. So it will be special and we get Kinder this year. :) We will have Kinder for about a month so were hoping to get family pictures in January :) This will be our first Christmas as a family together!!! How exciting. :) I hope nothing goes wrong. Well there isn't much more to write about. Ill be posting some recipes here soon hopefully. I just need to take pictures of the finish product lol :) 

And ill leave you with this :)

Holy COW its December!!!!!!!!

Why hello December!! Where has this year gone? It feels like just yesterday I was welcoming my husband home from deployment. :) Since i had Braelyn it feels like the days are going by so much faster! Please SLOW down. I don't want to miss anything. Recap of this year! Kinder turned 4 in January. February, Danny finally made his way home from deployment. YAY. Excited he doesn't have to leave in January for another tour! :) May, we convinced another Lil girl, Kinsleigh May, who will be here in February.  Also, Danny turned the big 2-2. (He's getting old!) Braelyn Cadence turned 2 in August, shes getting to big and to smart! Slow down baby girl! And i turned 2-1. We had a great Halloween and Thanksgiving. Danny's parents and Kinder were able to come down and surprise us the weekend before Thanksgiving and my parents were here for Thanksgiving. So far that's about it. Were hoping to get Kinder for Christmas but that all depends on money. :(. But we will see. 

 

Well as some of you know :) I have recently start college! Going for my Associate of Arts in Business. Time to start doing something with my life. I am only on week two and I'm still getting the hang of making time to do homework and assignments but i will get there. I plan on making my way to majoring in Business and on day owning my own. But we will see that's a long time from now. :) 

I will soon be getting back into photography. Ive been dying over here. And a note to self stay away from water! lol. I cant wait to start helping friends out again. Having people come to me asking for help trying to find photographers in hard and every time it makes me upset knowing i once could help them. BUT this is soon to change :) Hurry Up January! 

 

Hello DRAMA. I think this year has been hell. Between x-friends back home starting stuff, n ex trying to get a hold of me when we have a no contact order, and immature childish wives around here. Ugh! But i will no listen to the quote above. I will always be myself, if you don't like it so be it LEAVE! And for the ones that stick around thank you. I wont change myself to please you. I wont try to fit into your "clique" i don't expect you to change either just to be yourself. Everyone has their flaws that is why everyone is different. :) 2012 will be different. So many things will change and a new beginning will start :) I'm pretty ecstatic about it to!
