School Already

It is that time, for my oldest C to start pre-school. He is SO excited! He wants to ride on a school bus and everything. How many kids this age actually want to leave their parents? Me on the other hand. I do not want him to go. I am having all the mommy worries. Will he make friends? Will they like him? Is he ready? The answer to all the question is a yes, but it still keeps me up at night.  He is so smart for his age. He loves learning. 

It literally feels like yesterday we were just bringing him home from the hospital now he is going to go to pre-school. I am a stay at home mom, so C and A are always with me. It is going to be so quite with out my little man here to ask me a million questions in a minute. Who is going to be my lent thrower-away person. 
I know he needs to go and make friends other than his mommy. I feel like the mom out of the movie Jack. I want him to stay home and play cowboys and Indians.

Memorial Day

What does Memorial Day mean?

It is day to acknowledge all the men and woman who lost their lives fighting for our country. Whether it was 100 years ago, 20 years or yesterday they all should be acknowledged and in some way thanked. 

I am so grateful for our men and woman who serve this country. They sacrifice their lives to protect ours and some people can not even respect that. I think we all know one specific group of individuals that do not support the service members, but that's a whole other topic.  

God Bless all of men a women who serve this country. 

Thank you!

New Additions!

We have added two new additions to our family! Buster and Sadie, they are beautiful Boxers.A couple of days ago, I was just skimming through some Facebook posts when I saw a post for these two dogs. I immediately was interested in them. The owner could no longer have the dogs due to medical reasons.Mr. E was a worried that two Boxers might be a little much. The instant we got there, there was no doubt we were not bringing them home. We have been looking for a good dog to get the boys, but we never thought we would get two! They are 3 and 5, but they are the best dogs. They are very well trained and have very good manners. I have always loved the Boxer breed, but since are kiddos are still young I wasn't sure how they would handle the hyper-ness of the breed. Buster and Sadie have definitely proved me wrong. They are so gentle with the boys and the boys absolutely love them! C has been doing such a great job with them. He loves to help mommy feed and walk them. And of course give them treats! 

Sadie Girl ~ So gentle and kind

Buster Bear ~ A huge teddy bear 

Dogs are such a treasure in are lives. I am a huge animal lover! So the minute I saw that these precious babies needed a new home, I couldn't help but not want them. And look on C and A's face when they get doggy kisses is priceless. 

We made it!!

After a long 3 days we have finally made it to Colorado! The trip definitely had it's trying times. Traveling with two young kids makes for a challenge, but by the grace of God we did it. 
After arriving to the beautiful CO, although making prior arrangements for a condo we were worried that it might be a little pricey for us.  After long discussion and watching the new to find out this place a high crime rate, we decided to talk to the housing office and see if we could be put on the waiting list for housing. When I had talked to them a week prior it was a 3-6 month wait. That was a little worrisome for me. After about 5 minutes of anticipation, they nice lady told us we could move into a house as soon as Monday. I was overjoyed!!  
We have settled in for the most part, we are definitely loving the new place. 


My birthday/Mother's Day
This was my first birthday and Mother's Day away from my family. It was very hard, but my husband made it the best he could. I got a new Nikon camera for my birthday, which I am loving! and he made a very delicious dinner for my mothers day. Sometimes, it seems like he may not be paying attention to how I feel and then he goes a blows me away with the little things to lift my spirits up.


Our journey thus far has been amazing, complicated and overwhelming but I am absolutely loving it.
