Baby on the move

I have been overly worried lately that I haven't felt the baby move yet. I'll be 20 weeks tomorrow and I swear I would have felt the baby...
2 days ago I FINALLY started feeling it move. I was so excited, but now it seems like the baby is ALWAYS moving...lol. I love the feeling, knowing that my baby is alive and well in my belly but holy cow settle down child. Just hoping this isn't a sign of when he/she is born.

Holiday madness almost over...

This last couple of weeks has been crazy for us as I'm sure it has been for all of you. We are still slowly getting settled into our home but kind of put it on hold due to getting ready for Christmas.
Christmas was the best Christmas I've had in years. We went to some great Christmas parties and had a blast and I made an awesome meal including honey glazed ham, scalloped potatoes from scratch, green bean casarole, rolls and salad. I was very proud of myself, not only because I made a meal from scratch but because while cooking this meal I was watching 2 additional kids and doing gingerbread houses and such... but the best part was Nathan came down to spend time with us! Nathan, Khaliah and I made cookies for santa and left carrots out for the reindeer. Dustin and I didn't really do anything for each other since we had just bought a house, but we did get some family gifts of a kitten and puppy. The girls of course were loaded up with stuff from us, santa, Nathan and Melinda and grandpa. Jaysen was of course spoiled again this year as well. We got to pick him up Christmas early afternoon.
Now I'm back on the house decorating planning. All I can think about is painting walls, finish carpentry and furniture. Every room I'm in I can't stop picturing what its going to look like. AAHHH, its driving me crazy! lol.
I hope all are enjoying your holidays as much as I'm enjoying mine. Have a great New Year!

Best Weekend!

This weekend was one of the best weekends I've had in a long time. It started off with Dustin not having to work Friday so he did so much work around the house. He got all the furniture put where it goes, hung up wall decorations and organized a couple of rooms. Our house looks like a home thanks to him!
We decorated the tree and put up stockings! YAY! It snowed a ton on Saterday, but that night the girls got to play at their cousins house while Dustin and I watched the Ultimate Fighter Finale.
On Sunday we went sledding. The girls had a blast. Taysiah didn't care too much for the sledding part, but she loved just playing in the snow.
It was such a relaxing weekend and I'm so thankful for having the best family in the world!

Finally a moment...

The last couple of weeks have been insane busy! I haven't had a chance to get on here to update everyone on everything that's been going on.
We tried to go up to Provo to have a great Thanksgiving with my siblings but on the way our trusty Durango blew up. So Thanksgiving was terrible. We had a broke down car, no food and nothing to do. Not to mention on Thanksgiving day our laptop hard drive crashed. Not fun. The week and a half following we wasted money and time on trying to fix the Durango just to find out the block had cracked and we'd need a new engine.
Life was so frusterating trying to run my errands and get Khaliah to school. We did however close on our house Dec. 4th, but due to not having a car we didn't move in right away. This past Saturday Dustin brought home a Jeep Cherokee Laredo for us to use until we buy a bigger car for when the new baby is born. Then the Jeep will be all Dustins.
Things are looking up because not only did we figure out our car situation but we are now in our own home. I LOVE it. It needs so much work, but its ours and after the remodeling its going to be adorable!
We have put up some Christmas decorations outside and the tree is up and we will be decorating it tomorrow. There is still soooo much to do unpacking wise, but I'm trying not to stress myself out about it.
The kids are doing great. They love their new rooms and now have all their toys back. And I have to mention that I LOVE my new room as well. Keep in mind I haven't had my own room for 6 months.
Well that's about all the time I have to update, sorry such a sloppy post.
P.S. Christmas cards are coming.
