I'm wishing that our Hi's weigh out the Lo's this week but I don't think they do....

Hi's this week are
-Stellan getting to go home finally.
-Kadence is cruising the couch now.
-My dress is being bustled.


Lo's are
-Nanuk is still pregnant and hasn't had her puppies yet so we are still broke.
-They are taking our washer and dryer back.
-Me and Josh have been arguing again.
-Money is tight and we can't afford anything right now.


There are probably more but I'm just stressed right now so I don't want to think about them!!!

I have one more request....we have hit a rough spot in finances again....it seems every time we get ahead a little bit we fall more and more behind for some reason!!!! Pray that we can find the help we need to get ahead!!!!

Time for a good laugh!!!!

So this one should crack a smile on your face......

We have a dog. Her name is Nanuk. She is a female pitbull and we love her to death. She does stupid stuff all the time and is not very bright. We have lots of funny stories about her. Like when she goes outside to go potty.....she lifts her leg like she is a boy dog.....and its really funny to watch a girl dog pee like that because she almost falls over every time!!!! I need to get a picture of it. Oh yea and another time.....she chases the laser light just like most animals do.....Josh had her running through the living room getting all excited and then he moved to light over onto the front door. Our front door is a big heavy wood door and it happened to be shut at this time. Well she was going so fast and not paying any attention and ran smack dab nose first into the door. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen her do to this day. So I hope I made ya laugh for a minute or two. Now I'm off to bed!!!!

Please be with the Freeman family

Please be with the Freeman family tonight as they are faced with a horrible outcome. They are taking Kayleigh home to be with her family in her last few days here on Earth before she goes and spends her days in heaven with God. Please give them strength to know that she will be ok and be in a better place and be better off. Please pray for the family to help them be strong and be ok through this week. Here is her sight please visit and pray for them!!!!!

Please pray for Kayleigh's family

It doesn't look good for the one pound miracle God brought to us. So everyone should please pray for the Freeman family as they are faced with difficult decisions this week. Please bring them comfort and strength in what happens with Kayleigh. Please let them not suffer too much. Please let there be a miracle that Kayleigh will wake up and have perfect brain function and will be able to go home soon. Please pray for them. They need all the prayers and support they can get right now. Just let them know that there are people who care about them!!!!

Prayer request

My family is in need of some prayer right about now. My husband's pay check wasn't really a pay check this time around and I don't know how we are going to pay our rent and our shut off notice for our electricity (which is due the 4th of May) and get groceries for us. We have been calling everyone that people have referred us to for help and it seems that no one has the funds right now to help us out. I think we are going to get food stamps on Monday I just need to get a copy of all my husbands stuff and he is out of town today. I just need some prayer that God will help us out with this somehow or someway. Or whatever his plan is I just want life to get a little better.

My Hi's for this week are
-Kadence has learned how to pull herself up and is trying to walk now.
-We will be having puppies this week or next week.
-I got my wedding and engagement rings this week and they are gorgeous.

My Lo's for this week are
-Josh's check sucked so I'm not sure how we are going to get the bills paid or rent paid this month.
-My house is a mess.
-I'm really stressed about the wedding because its coming down to the final weeks and I'm really nervous.
-I can't seem to type at all this week.

Well I'm gonna go try to get my mind off of things and clean the house and get Kadence a nap in before Josh comes home from work.

Please pray for sweet baby Kayleigh!!!!

Please pray for peace and comfort to Kayleigh's family as they have been through a lot up to now and even now as they don't think she is going to make it. She has had some brain damage and her brain is now inactive and the doctors have called her brain dead. Please pray for a miracle for the family and for that beautiful little girl. Her button is on my side bar if you would like to read more!!!!

Also please pray for Stellan as he is still recovering from surgery yesterday. Pray that he will be healthy and can go home!!!!

Being a mom

I can't believe that I am a mom. It's still kind of weird to me that I am. I love being a mom and I think its my favorite feeling in the whole world right now. However I'm not sure that I like being a full time stay at home mom. Don't get me wrong I love being at home with my daughter because I get to see her change everyday I just get bored. I wish I had a play group or something that I could take her to so that I could have some adult interaction everyday as well besides just my husband. I mean I love talking to him but he kinda gets boring every now and then and I would like some variety every now and then. I would like to talk to a girl. And not in baby talk LOL. So as for now I'm kinda looking for a job where I can have Kadence with me at like a nursery or a church or something. Kadence is really attached to her mommy right now and doesn't like for me to even go to the bathroom so I would like her to know that I'm here for her but she needs to be around other kids as well!!!!

Mommy I would like some Ice Cream

So today after my little brother's drive test we took him out for ice cream to celebrate. While we were waiting for our order we were sitting at the table and it was me Josh, Andrew (my little brother), Kyle (Andrew's friend), Kadence and my mom. My mom was asking her if she liked Andrew and she was shaking her head no. Then she asked her if she liked Kyle and Kadence shook her head no. Then she asked if she liked anyone and Kadence shook her head no. We asked her a few more questions and she kept shaking her head no. Then my mom asked Kadence if she wanted ice cream and Kadence got a big smile on her face and then shook her head yes. It was so funny because she kept saying no to everything else but ice cream. She's not even one yet and she already knows what the good stuff is. She's gonna be a handful when she gets bigger!!!!

What a day or weekend rather

So today my little brother passed his drivers test and now has his license....its kinda scary. I feel old. I'm gonna be 22 this year and I just feel really old. This weekend wasn't too bad. Easter was yesterday and we didn't really do anything for it. We just went and had dinner with my mom's family and thats about it. We didn't hide eggs because Kadence isn't quite big enough for that yet so maybe next year. I gave her her Easter basket on Saturday too because I just can't keep anything a surprise really. Not that she really knew what it meant anyways so I guess it didn't really matter.

We finally have a meeting set up with the lady who is going to reside over our wedding too so I'm excited about that!!!! And I think we pretty much have everything done and paid for for the wedding as well. I think pretty much everything else is all little stuff that we have to do!!!! YAY I'm so ready for this wedding to be over with!!! Not that its a burden that I'm marrying the man I love its just the planning part is a burden LOL.....another long story.

But anyways Kadence is cutting (and this is no lie) 4 teeth at once. They are all on the top too. And besides that I think she is cutting 2 molars on the bottom as well. So she is really C-R-A-N-K-Y!!!!!!!!!! Oh yea and last night the little one decided to go to bed early which was kinda weird. So she fell asleep around ten or so and woke up at about midnight, well usually she goes right back to sleep but instead she decides that its play time and didn't go back to sleep again until about 3 this morning. So I'm kinda tired today LOL. Oh yea and she pooped in the bath tub the other night. She wasn't playing in it thank God but she did poop in there so.....

Anyways I think I'm done for now.....

Wedding bell blues

I really really really really really really really really wish that this wedding was over. I hate that everyone is fighting over everything that doesn't really pertain to anything really. I hate that my family just can't get along for at least the next 2 months. I hate that people have to tell other people things that are none of their business. I hate that everyone has to have their noses in my business. If I wanted your input or needed you to butt in about something then I would tell you. I don't want or need my families problems aired out to the public. I don't care what everyone thinks of everyone they just need to get along with each other for the next 2 months. If that doesn't happen then I think we will just elope and do it the way I want to do it and exclude everyone who doesn't need to be there. I'm just sick of everything. I am way too stressed out about this wedding and I don't need to be this way. I have a ten month old that I need to take care of and this is getting in the way of me being able to do all that I can do for her because I'm so stressed out and tired all the damn time. I just need a break. I need a wedding vacation. I need to go to a spa and relax and have some time to just think about things. I'm tired and my body aches from all the stress. I need a massage.

Oh yea and to top it all off....we will have puppies at the end of the month and I'm somewhat excited but then again I'm not excited. So hopefully Nanuk will be a good momma. And I won't have to take care of puppies this time around. I'm just tired of it all!!!!!

Today is Tuesday

So today is Tuesday. Not really sure whats going on today. I know that I need to finish doing my laundry and cleaning the rest of the house. I need to finish going through Kadence's clothes today and finish getting her big ones put up. I have a baby shower to go to tonight. My friend is having a little girl and is having big problems with her pregnancy. I guess she only has a 2 vessel cord and the baby is pretty small. She has been stuck on bedrest for the last week I think. She's not having a good time with that.

We picked up Josh's wedding ring last night. Oh yea and my wedding dress yesterday. I guess my dress has been in since the 1st of March and they said they emailed me but I never got an email. I told them you should have called me and let me know that it was there. Oh well though I have it now. So tomorrow I'm trying it on with my shoes and my bra and hopefully I don't have to get too much done to it alterations wise.

Kadence finally cut a tooth on the top and I think she is trying to cut 3 more at once up there too. She is really crabby!!!!! We are dying Easter eggs tomorrow and I'm really excited!!!!! Thats my favorite thing to do!!!! Well I think thats about it for now.....oh yea and keep praying for Stellan and Kayleigh both!!!!! Stellan finally got a second opinion and Kayleigh is having more problems!!!!!! Just keep praying that they are both healthy!!!!!

Need to finish my spring cleaning

So I've kinda been slacking off lately in doing my Spring cleaning and I need to get it done because my house is a MESS!!!! But its hard to do when your daughter is a big time and I mean BIG TIME momma's girl its kinda hard to do stuff like that with her. So maybe I will have to have her go and spend a day with her Grammy so I can clean the house and get some stuff done here that I need to get done!!!!

Wedding stuff is going pretty good for the most part I believe. We have figured out my centerpieces and have started on those. We have to get invitations done and sent out soon and finish up getting the tuxes reserved and just some littler stuff I think. But really for the most part its coming along. I'm just ready for it to be done so I don't have to stress about it anymore.

We bought our wedding rings the other day as well and I'm really excited because mine is GORGEOUS!!!!!! Josh just got a simple Titanium band for him because he's not really that extravagant.

I'm going to try to start weaning Kadence this month. I don't want to still be breastfeeding when the wedding happens and she will be a little over a year old then so she should be ok. She's really attached to me right now as well and I'm not too sure what to do about it. She seems to cry every time I leave her even if its just walking out of the room.

Kadence is finally crawling now. So she's a crawling fool and loves to go everywhere now. She does all sorts of stuff and its making me sad because I wish she could stay this little forever. This is my favorite age I think. But I still have lots of time before I can say that it is.....

Anyways so this was just kind of a babble blog.....
