Hair-Do

I'm wanting to get a haircut but want to keep my length, its just right above the shoulder right now. Wanting a bob cut with bangs... On the pic above, you cant really see much bangs, but i dont want to go too dramatic with the bangs, soooo i think i will just do it a tad bit shorter than hers.. AND I'm far from being a blond(i have my blond moments but color wise, 100% brunette!!) I want your honest opinion! Can you picture BANGS on me... I'm sure most of you have seen me with a bobcut style but with BANGS, i've never done that before!....... Throw in your ideas/thoughts/suggestions! No, i wont change my hair color! :) Thanks!

Carson's birthday

Here comes the cake!!
Hurry up with the birthday song!! I cant wait to blow these candles out!

I'm STILL waiting!! There goes one candleThere goes 2....There goes 3!!!! And then we had cake and it was yummy! Ice cream cake roll in case if you're wondering what that cake is.. I use breyers vanilla ice cream..

it only took ONE sentence........

Been M.I.A for a few days... Sorry to disappoint some of my readers! :) We celebrated Carson's birthday on Tuesday evening.. Just alex, me, kylie and my sister. I made an ice cream cake roll that day and it was one of those days when i was stressed out and my fuse was running short.. unfortunately that had to be on Carson's birthday.. :( But it had a great ending! It was fun watching Carson get all excited about getting a cake with candles on it.. he could hardly wait thru the birthday song to blow the candles out(on the pictures, his hands says it all!!). We have pictures of him blowing his candles out.. he did it one by one.. So cute! I'll post pictures soon!
Last night, I went to bible study and glad I went, I almost didn't go b/c I had cleaned the garage out all afternoon and needed to shower and bathe Kylie before bible study but i made good timing so made it to bible study a little late.. but I came up with an idea of what we should do for bible study, b/c we have a book we are reading but umm... we hardly get to it b/c we talk too much! :) Well actually.. my mother in law had came up with an idea and then i threw in my idea that i have thought about for a while but just never brought it up! that is asking questions(bible study related) when you are struggling about things.. My struggle was.. I wanted to know where God stands at when it comes to personal issues.. It took one sentence that felt like all my questions were answered... God doesn't do bad things to us, its the CHOICES we make.. (it wasn't exactly worded like that, that's in my words..)
I got pregnant with Carson before marriage and I wasn't sure if this was God's plan even though we weren't married and I felt like I disappointed Him and others as well... I do believe that Carson was planned by Him(God does not make mistakes and NO ONE is an accident, maybe for the parents but not in God's eyes!) but still it was a choice that Alex and I made.. We knew we shouldn't be having premarital sex but that's nothing we can change now.. plus, where would we be without Carson!?! He is our BLESSING! If we didn't have Carson, I don't think we would have Kylie either.. (since this is a public blog, i wont get into details about that.. if i feel its right, I'll post a blog about that, but right now, i don't have that much time to blog about it) Carson and Kylie are our blessings! I've never had so much faith in God til AFTER I had Carson. Carson is the reason why I became a strong believer in God, sure I always believed in God but it wasn't enough! I try to live in God's way... (unassisted childbirth(with God as my "doctor".. *drawing a blank on a better word*), avoid unclean meat, homeopathy lifestyle, etc) I thank Him for my kids and my future kids if we continue to be blessed with more kids! And thank you Alex for helping me create Carson and Kylie.. ;)

weekend adventure..

We went to the zoo and met Diego.. the highlight of our zoo trip!! Carson went to Grandma Lisa's after the zoo while Alex and I(and Kylie!) went out to eat, and birthday shopping for Carson, while Carson was with grandma, they went to Menards and grandma got him a sandbox!! So Sunday we got that set up and Carson loved it.. which i will have pics of that later as those pictures are on a different camera card that i havent uploaded on here yet.. been a busy day! Carson is going to be 3 tomorrow!! (Tuesday)...... That feels weird as I still call him my baby boy.. he'll always be my baby boy, carson claims he's not a baby boy anymore but to me he is... :)

random-ness

*i just realized that kylie weighed 12lb 9oz on 9-12.. she was 7lbs 12oz on 7-12..
*i really should be sewing some diapers but i'm such a slacker or lack of motivation.. what is up with that??
*found some books i want to check out at the library.. they are... this and that. Will i agree with those books? i don't know.. i will find out!
*found out today that my uncle has a disease(myositis) that his immune system is attacking his muscles which is causing him very weak.. I'm tempted to do research, to find the cause of that and see what alternative meds i can find for him.. I doubt he'll take me seriously but i can at least print off papers for him and let him read it. The thought counts right??
*i think you should read Traci's blog.. :) Nice to have a birth junkie in the family to feed me some info..
*i made mash potatoes tonight in the crock-pot for the first time. I want to use my crock-pot more often. makes life easier!
*i cant wait to start working on/making Alex's gift for our 1 yr anniversary.
*i LOVE having a son AND a daughter, they're my world! my family is complete..... for now!
*i want to BUILD a house.. guess we should start making more $$ first and pay off our debts.. but doesn't hurt to dream!
*on the same night, alex had a dream that he won the lottery, i had a dream he cheated on me with a girl i know... perfect combo huh?? i wanted to push him off the bed when i woke up in the middle of the night after that dream....but i didnt...... i realized, just in time, it was a dream.. :)
*ok, i'm done! can you tell i was bored? avoiding the diaper sewing for no apparent reason..

Carson and Kylie

Carson is my blond haired kid... Kylie, believe it or not, is my red headed baby.. Thought I'd shard this as they somewhat look alike. Kylie does remind me of Carson at times. :) By the way, Kylie is 2 months old now! The pic below is one of her 2 month old picture. On the 12th, she weighed in at 12lbs 9oz!! 2 weeks before that, she was 11lbs 9oz.. She is doing awesome!!
