It now fits

Hooray! It now fits. My Mom and Kristin were at Bukoos and found a really nice kitchen sink. I gave Kris and my Mom the measurements of the old sink but gave them the measurements of the under part of the sink as opposed to the upper part which she measured. So instead of double checking the measurements I pulled out the old sink and found out the hard way that the new sink was to small for the sink hole. Well, we had two choices, we buy another new sink that fits the hole or put new counter tops in. It came out 6's so my friend Dave & I put new counter tops in. There was a big burn spot on the old counter anyway so why not. It was fun and really cool to learn something new, and I believe well worth the effort. I bet you all are wondering, why didn't you put the old sink in? And to answer that I banged it up pulling it out.

Mornings - Yeah!!!

I love mornings!!! There is nothing better than to wake up to the sun shinning and open every blind in my house, make all the beds and sit in my room in my rocking chair rocking my little Kamryn. It's not to much later that Lauryn and Madalyn are sitting on the arms of the rocking chair or laying on my bed with their blanky's watching cartoons. I usually have a big mug with ice water and also an ice cold cup of Diet Coke, with a straw (I love straws). It's not too long after that the girls are asking for the famous chocolate milk. This is a typical morning for me. I do have some mornings I have to be a certain place so things go a little different but I love mornings. I usually get ready about 11:30 or noon just because I love to relax. I don't get much done in the mornings because I enjoy relaxing so much. I do all my chores before I go to bed so I can enjoy the next morning. I'm probably the opposite of a lot of people but I wanted to share because the sun was shinning so beautifully this morning. I love the sunshine and mornings!!!

Nursing Stinks!!!

SHE'S SO DANG CUTE!!!

I am having the HARDEST time nursing. I know this may seem like a weird thing to be blogging about but it has been really HARD for me. I think I'm going to stop. Kamryn treats me like a pacifier. It's so FRUSTRATING. She wants to nurse every hour and I feel like I'm ALWAYS feeding her. It's not fair to me or to my other girls. I didn't have this HARD of a time with my other two. It was easier to nurse when I pumped for the day and just nursed at night. The babysitter got them on a schedule and I just CAN'T seem to get the hang of things. Kamryn has been my FUSSIEST baby yet and I think it will be easier for her too. I HATE to stop because it's just getting to be winter and I WORRY about all the good stuff she gets from me and not from formula but she's had a good start. Anyway, give me your opinion on what I should do or at least make me feel better about my decision. I'm really STRUGGLING with it (The nursing and the decision to stop)!!!

I love my family!!!

I've been organizing my pictures and came across a few pictures I wanted to share. I can't believe how fast time flies. Just 4 months ago yesterday I was in the hospital giving birth to my little Kamryn.

She has grown so fast and is such a blessing in our lives. She has the prettiest smile I've ever seen. I can't believe I am the mother to three little girls. I hope in the short amount of time I have them in my home I will be able to teach them to believe in themselves. That is such an important thing in life. I want them to be happy and grateful. I am so glad that they have each other to lean on through life. I can't think of a better gift I could have given my girls than each other.

They are so special. I can't imagine not having them in my life. Life is so precious and you never know what might happen tomorrow. Every once in a while I think about that and try to live each day to the fullest. I am so lucky.

Fun Halloween!!!

I've decided that I'm not very good at getting pictures of my girls all together on special occasions. I don't have one good picture of the girls together on Halloween. It's hard with a baby to get them all together when we're out and about. We had a really fun Halloween. We went trick-or-treating with our cousins, Taylor, Cayden and Hannah. Taylor's friends asked him to go with them but he new we were coming so he decided he would have more fun with Maddie. I should have got a picture of them two holding hands the whole time. Maddie thinks the world of Taylor and he thinks the world of Maddie. They are so cute together. Maddie was really grumpy when we were taking pictures so this is the best picture I got of her. I'm holding her and if you can't tell she's a butterfly. Lauryn looked adorable in her cat costume. She has the brightest smile and must have felt like a million bucks in it because every time I looked at her she was grinning from ear to ear.



For some reason I never dressed up Lauryn or Maddie like a pumpkin when they were babies but I always wanted to. I finally got my pumpkin baby and she was a cute one. She's so much fun. Lauryn and Maddie can get her to laugh so hard. It is so cute.

Our new puppy, Sadie!!!

Just last Sunday we got a new puppy, Sadie. I love dogs and have my whole life.

Last November, our black lab, Katie, was hit by a car and killed. It was devastating. I still cry when I think about her and my girls still mention her in our family prayers.

Anyway, I was finally able to come to terms with her death and decided it was time to move on. Sadie is a yellow lab. She's about 12 weeks old. We are loving having her around. Madalyn and Lauryn are so good at taking care of her and as much work as a new puppy can be we are thrilled to have a new addition to our family.
