Big News and Such

Gosh I'm feeling really bad about my lack of blogging lately! I think about it but then just haven't been following through! But in the past week we have had some big news! Why don't we start with the bad and end with the good!? Taylor has pink eye :-( My little girl was not a happy camper at all and I had to stay home from work on Wednesday with her because it was still contagious until she had been on antibiotics for 24 hours! She was not a happy camper waking up looking like this but honestly who could be!

Her eye was so red and swollen but luckily it didn't stay like that for long because today she looks much healthier and happier!

The younger two were so cute tonight watching Moe and the Big Exit! Taylor absolutely loves that movie! Once it is on it has her attention for pretty much the whole 40 minutes!

And now onto the even better news! I am so excited because starting Feb. 4th Connor is getting back into school! He has been out of school since July and I am so ready for him to get back into a school envioronment and he is actually going to be going to the Montessori Center that I work at! So he is super excited and we already went and picked out his lunch box and then his slippers because each child who comes to school needs to wear their own slippers once they are inside the classroom. The owner of the school is seriously one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life and she told me that since she has never had an employee's child come to school she wasn't sure of an approiate employee discount so for now Connor gets to go to school for free! I feel so blessed because that saves us $500 bucks a month! And onto the other great news that I am so excited about as seen by this picture!

Asa and I are moving into a new house!!!!!!!!!! I am beyond excited because this house is so nice and we got really lucky to find it! We move in two weeks! The house that we are in right now is around 900 square feet, one bathroom, no dishwasher just overall way to small for a family of five. So this new house I found has four bedrooms, plus an office, two and a half bathrooms, over 2100 square feet! And a dishwasher!! Whohoo! I can't wait to move in! Here is a picture of our new house!

There you go that's what's been going on in my life from bad to good! Sorry for my lack of post lately I will try to do better!

Snow Day

It's finally started snowing here! And because I am not always a good mom about taking my kids out into the snow yesterday was the first time Connor had ever been sledding! We had such a blast though. We had my brother and his girlfriend over for dinner last night and we decided to bundle all the kids up and take them across the street to this little hill. Taylor was not at all happy with her snowsuit! She couldn't crawl and she was getting so frustrated trying to figure it out but it was so cute to watch! Once we got outside though she was fine. Connor and Zachary had so much fun and it was so cool to see their faces just light up being outside playing! We ended up having an awesome night with my brother. I just love watching him play with my kids! It's nights like these that I am extremely grateful for the family that I have in my life, couldn't ask for anything more!

Everybody getting ready to go sledding! And just a little FYI all the stores that I went to yesterday were sold out of sleds so we improvised and pool toys instead!


Zachary's having fun here!


Connor's first time down the hill!


He's looking so cold here!


I thought this was such a great picture if only the snowflake didn't cover my face! I still like it though!


We even managed to get video of the boys sledding adventure!
