What's Been Going On Here ?

A little bit of everything !

First off my dh got a different job ...whoohoo ! He has this week off to try and do a few things before he starts there. (I guess we will see about that ) We need to do a few things around here and then list our house. It's about 40 minutes away and I know alot of people do drive that daily and have for years,but we haven't liked this house since we bought it anyway . We always planned even if he got a new job here we would eventually sell this one.

I know it seems weird we bought it not liking it ,but we had ours sold and after looking at 30( I kid you not ) we just took the best out of what we seen . We still had to paint the whole house and put all new floors in and there are still things we would do if we were staying .

So the dh is excited about starting the new job and I hope it really is great and he's happy with it. I can't wait to start looking at houses, but I worry about if this one will sell since most of the places here have laid off a lot of their employees.

The baby is doing great and I find she's really starting to stay awake longer and look around more. She's even talking a little and smiling more and more ! The other kids all love her and surprising enough Brody is pretty good with her...at least a lot better then I had pictured in my mind !

In other news...I finally met my first blog friend ! whoohoo It was Heather from A Big Boy, A Baby Girl,and a Precious Pug ! If you haven't been to her blog go check it out ! For awhile now she's been kicking cancer's ass and she's been talking about it on her blog along with the daily fun of being a mom of two great little ones !

I have to say on the way there I was kind of nervous about meeting her , but once I was there and seen her and her family walking towards us at the zoo ...it just went away . We had a nice time with the kids walking the zoo and looking at the animals . Brody even gave Ella a little kiss on the arm , but we didn't catch it with the cameras . We did get some pictures and even some with us in them,but I don't know if I will be brave enough to post those...she looks wonderful and I on the other hand look like a beached whale next to her ! haha

Boy seeing those sure smacked me in the face..... I need to lose all this weight I gained since moving here and being pregnant for the last two years ! I use to look thin and not half bad...now it's fat and bad both...not good !

I would love to do it again sometime when the baby gets older and can sit up and look too ! Plus then Brody and Ella will be older and we won't spend most of our time giving them snacks and drinks and putting them in and out of the strollers and can actually walk along and talk to each other ! haha

We came home and I was cutting a piece of ice cream cake for Tanner and sliced my finger ...that was fun ....NOT ! To make the night even better when we got on our street there was about 30 cars parked on both sides of it and the woman that just moved in next door was having a big party ! Her backyard was all lit up and there was a live band playing ....which would have been fine if it was out in the country and not right next to where my kids sleep ! Finally about 3:00am it was quiet !

Yet another reason moving won't be so bad...here I was thinking some single woman in her 50's would be a better neighbor then the two 20 something year old guys that had been living there would be ....now I'm think I was very wrong !

Yesterday was a nice quiet day here with the kids, my dh bbq'd steak for my birthday and we just had a nice family day .

So what did you guys do this weekend ?

How neat that you and Heather got to meet! I follow her blog to and check in with her occasionally to make sure that she's still kicking cancers ass.

I'm glad that the baby is doing so well and congratulations to you and your dh for the new job!

As for us, we had a great weekend with the circus and a friends son's 1st b-day party... a great quality family time weekend.
