October....

Wow how october flew by! It seems like we just started and it's already past! Well not much going on around here. Fall break tested my patience. Oh how I was ready for school to start back! I love Zach but he's such a busy body and I could not keep him entertained enough! Lol Logan's pretty content with cartoons or color books. Halloween came up so fast I was not prepared! The boys love dressing up and this year Zach was a jail bird and Logan a pirate! Of course we planned the whole trick or treat thing around town and then church, but before that could happen this momma got that awful stomach bug. So needless to say, this pregnant woman was like a zombie from Tuesday before halloween till the following monday. It was the worse stomach bug I have had! Stomach cramps as bad as contractions, if I weren't sick I would have been concerned. Then the other back door symptom came and it was rough! Still fighting it off guess cause i have no immune system. But daddy stepped in and took the boys trick or treating so they had a blast! Not so fun for me but hey it's for the kids right! So then came November. Yay! I love this time of year. Glad the elections over, now everyone can stop talking about it and pray about it! Gods still in control no matter who is president. I love holiday meals! I know thanksgiving is next but come on! I love love love all things Christmas! Music, deco, hallmark movies!!! That started on weekends already so I'm in heaven! So I'm so excited to see what happens this holiday season! Thanksgiving always makes me feel warm and snuggly. Time for hot cocoa, fall leaves, hoodies and blankets. Families feel closer and everyone remember it's the time To remember what God has given us!
On the pregnancy side of things. I'm 15 weeks and so ready To feel good an get over this sick feeling! I was feeling better Till this bug came to visit so hopefully I will come back to life a little just in time for the holidays! I love food too did I mention that!? Love love love turkey dressing and the works! Man Oh man I can see the calories and my belly growing already! Lol love u all
And may God bless u this upcoming holiday season!

My chicken pot pie!!

Ok guys seriously this is my favorite recipe! I love chicken. I could eat chicken every meal! I love it! So I'm gonna share my chicken pot pie recipe. Of course I'm not a big veggie person, I know bad bad, but come on! At least I put one in it and you can add as many as you like! I made it today and my sister says where's the peas! Lol I was like u make it and add the peas! Lol so here ya go! Enjoy!

Cream of chicken soup- small can what is it 14oz or something. Lol
Carrots
Potatoes
2 cans 8oz crescent rolls( or one can buscuits) personally I love crescent rolls so that's what I use!
Chicken! (I use canned cause I think it tastes just as good and I'm lazy but real works too of course! Lol)

Roll out one can crescent rolls on bottom of casserole dish. Mix soup and veggies and potatoes with the chicken and pour over crescent bottom. Salt pepper to taste. Cover mix with can of crescent rolls flat and bake at 350 about 25-30 or till dough is done!

Super easy and I love it! Kids even eat it, sometimes! Lol I know I should add veggies but carrots is plenty for me! Lol I hope u enjoy! We do!

Bean casserole- yummy!

Soo thought Id share tonight's dinner with y'all! I got it from m fantastic inlaws so I don't take credit! Lol

Bean Casserole

1 lb hamburger meat or ground sausage ( could probably do ground turkey too but never tried it)
1 can pork and beans
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can rotel- I'm a big baby and can't stand things too hot so I only do half but if u like spicy then u will like the whole can!
And some tortilla chips!

Put tortilla chips in bottom of casserole dish. Not too thick but enough to cover, I usually smash them.( hubby likes them thick so up to ur preference.) Cook meat then mix all together and pour on top of chips in dish and cover with shredded cheese and you have dinner! My hubby loves it!

Yummy yummy. I love simple quick casseroles! I make several and would love to share as I remember! And you Guys can share some too!

Baby oh baby!

Hello! It's now September 9, 2012 and Brian and I found out last week that baby number 3 is on the way! Yay! Well, those that know me know I am not a good patient. And this pregnancy has already Been worse then the last two! My tummy is constantly in knots and I feel like I've already gained ten pounds!!! In just 6 short weeks! Dang. Ok so Chinese gender prediction chart says f!!! So excited! I know I know, it's all up to the Lord but I can dream right!? Lol anyways the chart was right on target with zach and Logan and alot of friends too when they had kids so I'm hoping it comes out true! Oh how I would love a little girl! Little girl to go with my two wonderful little boys would be such a blessing! Anyways, I'm beyond blessed and I'm trying my hardest not to complain the whole time but man, no matter what I eat this baby does not like it! Last times, I could eat crackers, or ice, or peanut butter an it helped calmed my stomach done but this time everything that goes in makes me wanna run to the bathroom! So far just queezy and no action so that I can be grateful for!
I'm so excited, yet nervous at the same time. For one, Brian and I will be outnumbered! Lol we need to grow extra arms! And for two, my body is not what it use to be. I've had two surgeries since my last csection, 3 almost four years ago and so I'm nervous about the healing after this one, but I know I can do it through Christ! I pray for a a healthy baby and surgery and that's all I can do!
Zach is beyond excited! He's been wanting a little "sister" since prek last year and so now he's ready! It's all about baby. Is baby hungry, baby full? Baby cold? I wanna hug the baby! It just makes my heart swell. He just doesn't understand the waiting nine months part! Lol Logan is a little young, he knows theres a baby in my tummy but not quite excited since he's the baby! Lol he's been very clingy lately so I think he can tell. I'm just super excited what the lord will do in our family the next year! When we moved and got our house we got rid of all the "extra" we didn't need, unfortunately that included anything baby, since at that point I hadn't talked Brian into another one. So we are starting over! If and I say if!!! Lol we have another boy we will be set clothes wise but I'm still crossing my fingers and praying for a girl though. Lol I will appreciate all the prayers and cant wait to share on this wonderful journey! =)

A Year Flew By....

It seems like yesterday that we were in snowmegaden 2011! And that was over a year ago! SO much has happened since then its insane! My babies are really growing into big boys and its so sad. Im still going strong at Rose, hoping to be done with this chapter in my life soon, goal is december. After that, who knows! My oldest, my dear Zachary started Prek this last fall and Im so excited for where Gods taking him. Hes still headstrong, independent, stubborn as a mule, that comes from his father. He always wants to be active, I think he will be the one Im running around the most with to every sporting event possible. Im not ready. We signed up for TBALL so its already starting. Ahhh. He loves Zach which is a blessing. I usually dont have to fight him to get him up, hes usually up and around waking me up! He is a morning person from the time his feet hit the floor in the morning. Hes always wanting to run and play, so full of life. Can we get some of our childrens energy? That would be nice. Hes going to be a leader, not a follower like me, and Im so thrilled to see where God takes him one day. I pray daily that he will come to know the Lord, and that he will devote his life to him and his love. Logan is much different. It amazes me how different they are. Logan is soft, gentle and not near as rough as his older brother. He would be perfectly content alone, watching cartoons if brother would leave him to this. Ya right. Logan is mommas boy to the tee. Hes gonna be my clinging one I think when it comes time for him to start school. Zach just waved and said see ya later! lol. Logan is not as dependent and is so much like me its like looking into a mirror, where Zach is just like the hubby. Logan has a huge smile and its always glued to his face wherever we go. They both love going to church, and cant wait to learn about Jesus which makes my heart soar. Oh how Im blessed to have a husband that desires to know God, and takes his family to church on sunday morning. I love that. I have gone to the same church since I was 8 and feel extremely blessed. I love that church with all my heart. I hope to grow into a strong godly woman like I saw in my mother growing up. Anyways, my boys are also where I pray the hardest. I wanna be the best mom I can be and that takes patience, prayers and more prayers. I still catch myself and have to count to 10 twice because they are all boy and sometimes drive me crazy! I never had a brother, and my dad was a truck driver and so it was just me and my sister and mom most of the time so boys are all new! How different they are. lol. I just love them to peices and thank God for them everyday. I still would love a little girl, but still havent confinced the hubby to try again... We shall see what the Lord has in store in that department. I feel closer to him and content with my life right now. I havent worked since November and I feel God wants me home. Home to be the mother my kids need, and a wife my hubby needs. We shall see also where that road goes, cause I enjoy working out of the house too with the public, and miss it to a point. Yet I feel closer than ever to my kids and my hubby and my God not working. Sundays should the the lords day so I have so come to love church on that day and thats all. Its nice not to have to fight with a boss to have sundays off. Another chapter in our lives is upon us and its harder than ever. A new home to call home. Were staying with the parents, which is hard and prayers are appreciated. We are suppose to be getting a brand new doublewide moved in any day now, but something keeps coming up. I have recently given it to God and pray it comes through soon. If not, we will just move back into our tiny little trailer and be happy with the Lord.. hopefully. Im praying it happens and lets us have a place to call home again soon. Well, gotta run and do homework now.... Which proves to be a nightmare anymore. It feels good to be back writing, hopefully I can make time for it more often. Prayers be with you and your family and love abide fully! God bless!

baby or no baby?

I am thinking about having another baby. i would love to have a little girl. ! A girl to go shopping with, teach to cook, sew, scrapbook and dress up! yet on the other hand, I am very content with my too loving boys. Zach will be 4 next week. I think im in shock. That means he will start school in the fall! This begins a whole new chpt in his life that doesnt revolve around me or his daddy..... logan will be 2 next month so he isnt a baby either anymore. Maybe im having baby syndrome.?
And... school. I love having the opportunity of going back to school....I apply for the radiology prg this semester and will knw in June whether I am chosen. they only take 25 students so im crossing my fingers.... !
Brian n I discussed having a baby if i do not get into that program this spring. Yet, do I wanna have another baby and then try again next year for the program only to have a newborn at home? We have already decided if I did have another baby I would no longer work and that means probably no school either... do I want that or wait?? But if i wait then that puts more years between the kids and how many years are too many for them to be close? If i wait that means my two boys will be well out of the baby stage would we want to go back and start over then? I really would love to have another baby yet my mind right now wants a degree! I guess all i can do is pray that I get into the program or decide its Gods will to have another baby. Gods will be done right....
it would be nice not to have to work but can we really afford another baby with only one income? Brians income pays the bills but what about the extras we enjoy now. I dunno.. im torn on this...

WHat does everyone think??? I would love opinions and advice! My scatterbrain is just scattered on this!

NEW YEAR 2011!!!

HEY EVERYONE!! Wow already another year! It is crazy the older I get how time flies! 2010 was an overall good year I believe. I started school again, hoping to enter into the Radiology program this fall... that is if i can make a good score on that dreeded MATH compass test! Urg.... math is not my friend! I like school this time around. I find it challenging, and I actually like what im learning. In high school, there was so much drama and useless bs that I hated it. This time go round, im a little more mature and I actually wanna do this for myself and my family. I wanna get a degree so I can help support my family and get out of working dead end jobs. I go to Rose State which is smaller then UCO where I went for a year after high school. I like it alot and I started online classes as well and i really like how you can do it when you have the time.... It is very convientent since i chase two little boys, a husband, and work part time.
Overall 2010 went by way too fast. My boys will be turning 4 and 2 this month and next month! Zach is being very stubborn in the toilet training dept. but is getting it better if he would just go number two in the toilet! Hes very determined, independent and loves to be outside with papa and the animals. He is a very outgoing and strong almost 4 year old. He will be starting prek this fall, which Im looking forward to so he can learn and grow but yet will be a very hard thing... which many of you already know. Logan is turning 2 in Feb. Hes also getting indepenent and growing up way too fast! Hes more like me in everyway... he milks it when hes hurt, sick and just not getting his way. He loves to play with bubba when bubba lets him. He also loves to be outside. They are all boy in every way. Logan is more sensitive then Zach but he stands his ground when he wants something or bubba tries to take his toy! They both have that stubborn quality from their daddy! lol... Brian still works at Kimray, going on 5 years in october.... wow! And this year will be our 5 year wedding anniversary in April! Where as time gone! Time sure flies when your having fun. I just hope 2011 brings the joys and laughter that 2010 did..... may God bless you all!
