So excited for next weekend!

Next Saturday my family will be coming over to visit us. We're going to hold a huge party with balloons and cake! The kids are going to love it.

I literally cannot wait for my mother and father to come back. I haven't seen them in ages. The thought makes me so nervous and excited... After that I'll probably have Ben come over to take the kids to see a movie.

Has anybody seen the new Catching Fire movie? I believe it's still showing in the cinemas.

Happy 7th Bailey!!

Time sure flies when you're having fun! My baby boy is 7! How did that happen?  We had our usual home bound birthday and we all made his no bake cheese cakes he wanted...we may have made too many because we made 4 and still have two left...even though Jaden came home from his Dad's house and polished off quite a bit of one!  Bailey got more Skylander's (video game accessories) and a new Lego video game. Surprisingly he is not that into gaming, thank goodness, at his age we could not pry Jaden away. But he does enjoy playing for 15 minute spurts unless of course his sisters play Minecraft with him then I have to kick them off. I honestly do not get that game,  but I like it...doesn't have any violence and seems creative.

We had a wonderful Christmas as well.

Oh and here is Jaden turning 14!!! Now I feel REALLY old! ;) and yes he still loves gaming, but is doing really well now with an EIP in place and is growing up so fast it's crazy.

The above are a few pictures from Christmas. :)

So many things have happened since I last updated. Naomi turned 5, Jaden is 14! I can't even believe that one. Jaden grew about 9 inches since his last birthday and has a manly voice now, it's crazy how quickly they grow up. My Business is  growing and keeps me very very busy, I am so blessed with wonderful customers and just such a great network of friends making it very successful. of course when you are breeding dogs it's hand to mouth pretty much! And food and vet bills make for very little profit, BUT and this is huge, they are finally paying for themselves and I am not spending anything out of pocket anymore which is awesome. I honestly love what I do and it is not for everyone I am sure, but I feel it's my calling. Everyday I get a phone call from someone who has lost their best friend and needs that void filled, and I get to do that for them! It feel great!

 

Little Kobe is such a little fire cracker, he is so quick witted and smart, and get this NOT shy....he will talk to anyone and everyone, and I wonder if it has to do with us having strangers in our house quite often now! LOL. Love that little guy he is such a blessing.

 

Kai-li has been chosen to be a role model at school in an in school program for kids who are lacking in social skills. It is so funny because not long ago (preschool) Kai-Li refuse to speak to anyone or her teachers and now here she is showing children who are just like she used to be how to make friends and be more social.

 

Jasmine is still my beauty queen, she is so well liked and so opposite of me it's crazy. She is always stylish and knows everyone, not shy of adults and has everyone wrapped around her finger. Not at all awkward and shy like I was at 12...oh boy is she even mine?

 

Bailey is as usual my little bad boy, he is neck and neck with Naomi in height and weight and still in size 5. But When I look at Jaden I know that there is hope he may grow as Jaden was also the same size at the same age. Bailey has that little man syndrome though....LOL

I think I have covered everyone...

 

Me I am just sick sick sick, I just want to start feeling better and not wasting so much food! Gi Jye is at the store right now grocery shopping and I gave him very little direction except for "Make sure it's something I don't need to cook.." LOL I am awful right now, but it will end soon...right? right? LOL

We are having another baby due June 21, 2014! We found out via blood test that it is a healthy baby boy. We went to Dartmouth and got a test called "Harmony" it tests for the trisomy's as well as XY if you ask. Pretty happy baby is healthy and another boy, not sure how I feel about that at this point. But I am sure will be thrilled to pieces when he gets here! Now who wants to help me think of a name?

We got to try Hormel REV WRAPS as a Buzz Campaign last month and I was honestly impressed. I was expecting the wrap to have a weird after taste or just be a weird texture. They were actually really good. We bought several more after we used up our coupons too. These are quick on the go snacks, perfect for school snack, taking to game practices or games.

Mama #VoxBox

Pretty excited about the arrival of my Mama #VoxBox, some of the brands included are #POND's BB cream, I am so excited about this! Two bottles, also we got #Dr.Scholl's for her comfort insoles, going to try these out today. Kobe ate my #belVita baked breakfast Biscuits and you can see above and Naomi ate my #Annie's mocrowavable Mac and Cheese cup, and she enjoyed it, so I guess it was pretty good.:)

Where did the summer go?

Summer is coming to a close and the kids are gearing up for school again!
I have everyone set with new shoes and a few new outfits. We really could not go cray this year with 5 in school!
Naomi is quite nervous about going back, but she will be fine! She needs to come out of her shell!
Life in our new home is not taken for granted, we still love it here. We got to try out a couple toys through buzz agent this summer, kids were thrilled to say the least. I am not a person who likes to "waste" money on toys (anymore) and so these were real treats. The kids are growing up so fast. pictured beow is Naomi, Kai-Li and my niece Kaylah
