Update...

We are having another baby for those of you who do not know. I am 22 weeks along and we can't be more excited.

No, we do not know the gender of the baby since we have decided to not find out this time! It is definitely testing my patience but it is really fun at the same time. I figure that you have to wait almost half your pregnancy to even find out the gender what is just a few more weeks. HA!

New things???

Hmm... well, I got braces put on just over a week ago. So far so good. I thought they would hurt much worse but so far I don't feel anything but annoyance.

Randy: He has been doing a lot of projects around the house. He built some more shelves in my pantry. He also is making some saloon doors going into my laundry room. That room is soo small and there are three doors in that room, two of which open into the room. My poor washer and drying are so claustrophobic... Speaking of washers and dryers, Randy bought me a new set.

Aren't they beautiful?! Oh, I do love them. They are the new models with no agitator in the center. I was really concerned about how they were actually going to work without an agitator but honestly, they clean better than my previous front loader. I really like them and I would recommend them to everyone.

Kiera: She is the busiest 16 month old. She never stops moving and she NEVER stops eating. She is the cutest ever and we sure love her! She has been battling a crazy morphing rash since September and it is finally gone. After consulting with her Pediatrician as well as a Naturopathic doctor and many many tests, we have come to the conclusion that it is some kind of food allergies. I do really want to put her through a bunch of pricks to find out what the allergy is. So, we are just carefully watching what she eats and when and if it comes back we hopefully will have a better idea.
We switched Kiera to a toddler bed about a month ago. I was just so sick of bending over the crib so we decided to switch her over and honestly, it was the best decision ever! She has been so good and only got off the bed once or twice. She is really good and loves her bed. She actually has a huge bed that looks like a house. I will try to remember to take a picture of it for you! I think 14.5 was the perfect age to switch her over.

We went to the park the other day. We hadn't used out gift cards to Sonic from my Granny so we went and got dinner and then went to the park. Kiera had a blast although she hated the slides.

Christmas Failure....

I can't say much until after Christmas, but did you know that there are different types of Olive Oil for different things. I always but the same Extra Virgin Olive Oil and I use it for everything; baking, salad dressing, frying, EVERYTHING. Yeah, not to self; Learn the types of Olive oil and what they are used for! :( Now I have to restart and throw what I've made out. Dang, I hate you EVOO!

Shopping, Shopping and Shopping!

I cannot even begin to explain how much shopping I have done lately. For Birthdays, Christmas and craft projects. I have been shopping online, in-store, pinterest and everywhere! I was beginning to have those days where you feel like you are not accomplishing anything. Than you begin to get depressed and sad because you feel like a bad mom, wife and human. I couldn't take it any longer and tried to fix it by going shopping. We all know that makes us feel better. Needless to say, even though I have shopped A LOT lately, I haven't really bought much. I have shopped for mostly ideas and we all know how well I do at following through with ideas. I swear each post promises to be better at posting and every time I fail.

All in all, I am working on making all of my Christmas presents this year. It has been a lot of work but it is going to be great. I can't wait to show the products with you. If I remember...
