Update!!

So tomorrow is the big day! It's moving day!! We pick up our U-haul at 9:30am and then its go time. My grandma is taking the boys to see the movie "MegaMind" in the afternoon. We figured it would be a nice break for us and something fun for them. We are all very excited to get moved in!! Here are a few other things we've been doing since I blog last....

-I've decided to take a full time job at the truck shop and not go back to school next term.
-Kenny has decided not to ref for the boys and girls club this year, he is going to play city league basketball instead
-I had a girls night with 5 girls from a&w. We all met at one house and hung out for hours! We laughed until we cried and it was a blast!
-Taylor is sleeping better! We have had to cut all dairy out of her diet. Levi also was lactose intolerant until he was around 18 months, so I hope she also out grows hers too.

Yawn....

UGH..that sums up my week..

Taylor is still sleeping horrible and its KILLING me! The doctor can't get her in until Monday..so I still have some hell to go thru. We have tried everything with her and nothing seems to work, if you have any ideas, PLEASE let me know!

Her new haircut...just her bangs :)

Riley had had his check up on Monday and he is doing great! He is in the 95% for his height and weight. His BMI is on the healthy range, the doc says he's just going to be one BIG boy! He knew his colors and shapes and passed all of his 4 year old tests. He even got a new book, which he loved! He did have to get 2 shots, but he is now all done and both the boys don't need shots again until they are 11!! Phew!

Levi is doing awesome in school this year! We are so glad we decided to hold him back a year, it is proving to be a good choice. He is working on writing his first and last name, while the rest of the class is still working on writing their first names. Its been a good boost to his ego that he is doing so well, especially since he struggled so much last year.

We have a little over a week before we move..let the packing begin..(a lil late of a start, I know!) We are SO excited to get moved and settled into our new farm. We have some fun plans and great memories ahead!! :)

I'm Back..

Well I just got home from Arizona earlier this afternoon. It was a quick trip, but nice and relaxing. It was in the mid 80's during the day, perfect weather if you ask me! Kenny the kids survived while I was gone, although I think I was very much missed. I had good flights to and from AZ and I took a few pics of us flying into Portland today.



I have a very busy week ahead (shocking..I know). I've got school, some major catch up to do at the truck shop, 3 night shifts at the dub and a wedding Saturday. OH and Riley has a check up tomorrow annnnd he has shots :( Not going to be fun!

Happy Halloween!

Another Halloween has come and gone. We got up this morning and went and got some more pumpkins..I think that makes 14 we got this year! The boys love drawing faces on them so Kenny can carve them. We are going to try to plant a pumpkin patch at the ranch next year, then we can have as many pumpkins as we want! :) I worked this afternoon at A&W and we had to dress up..ugh! So I braided my hair in 2 braids, put some Oregon stickers under my eyes and threw on a football jersey. Wa-la..I'm dressed and totally sporting the best team around! Ha! :) Kenny and the kids picked me up after work and we headed to the Boys and Girls club trunk or treat. The kids got lots of candy..it was pretty busy! After that we headed to the Avenues and stayed out till it was way past dark. We have SO much candy now..enough to last us until next year that's for sure! I will post pics of the boys later.

I can't believe that Christmas is just around the corner! Kenny and I were talking today about what we want to get the kids. I think we decided that we're going to get them a power wheels gator to use on the farm! They need something to get themselves around that place! lol We have to find something that will fit all 3 of them, so we shall see! I'm dying to get the boys some little dirt bikes, we have a perfect place for them to set up a little track...OH there is so much fun ahead!! :) We are AMAZINGLY blessed to given this awesome experience we are about to embark on!! We felt like we were down and out for a while there but since I have left Lowe's and started school, began the journey of bettering myself, things just keep getting better and better! I can't wait to see whats coming up!

 

Beautiful Chaos

Last soccer game of the season..

Today was our last soccer game...YEESSSSS!! We let Riley dress down and play with us today, he did such a good job!! Here are some pictures of the game..

Our Dogs :)

Updates

Well the lactose free milk is a hit! Taylor slept SO much better last night! Poor lil girl has had a gut ache the last 3 weeks. Levi was on lactose free milk until he was 18 months old. So we'll probably try to regular milk when she gets to be about that age.

We turned off our cell phones a few days ago because I was tired of paying so much money for them. We got a land line and I thought all was well..nope! We had a few family members not too happy with us about our decision..so we are now getting the cell phones again..lol We jumped onto my moms plan and created a family plan. So now we will have basic cells for "safety" reasons and a land line. We have the same numbers on the cell phone, hopefully that will ease some of the confusion, since I already sent out a email saying we had shut off the cell phones..LOL

We also are getting a new bed!! We are so totally stoked about that! Its been a long time coming! We decided "new ranch life..new bed!" Kenny really needs a nice bed for his back, and I was starting to hurt from our mattress..which btw is like 20 years old!! So our new bed should be delivered about the time we move to the ranch..I can hardly wait! :)

We've started packing up the house again..not so fun! Good news is, a lot of our stuff is still in boxes and we reserved a U-haul for this move..so that will be SO much easier than using our durango. We had a walk through of the new house yesterday and Kenny got a tour of the ranch. We have some big jobs ahead of us but we also have some FUN times ahead! I am excited for the kids to have 37 acres to play on!

The new ranch

This a cabin that is on the ranch. It was built for the previous owners grand kids. It has bunk beds in it :)
