10 months old..
Can you believe Kylie is 10 months old already!? Time didnt seem to go by this fast with just Carson but its sure going by fast now! He's gonna be FOUR in Sept. This is too scary already. :( Next year will be t-ball season for him. oh.my. I cant wait!
Kylie started making a new face on her 10th month birthday.. Its funny and cute at the same time.
(Doesn't she look like a Doak in these pictures.. She sure reminds me of her older(by 9 months) cousin, L. )
I wish I had some good pics of Carson to put on here but I don't, he sure doesn't like taking pics so he gives me weird looks for the camera or turns away which gets the profile view or the back of him.. Stubborn boy.. :) Hopefully soon pictures of him will be up.. For now, the picture of him on the right side bar will have to do for now!

Look!!
I've realized a few things after watching this video..
1. I know, its a mess behind me.. Clothes overflowing around the closet area, clothes that don't even fit the kids anymore.. I just haven't got to it yet.. So please ignore it.. :) I'm slightly embarrassed by it, but which is more important? Catching my daughters first steps on camera or clean that mess up for the camera? Yeah, that's what i thought.. ;)
2. Kylie has the phone antenna in her mouth and can jab it in her mouth/throat when she falls.. I DO know better than that, I just didn't realize she had it in her mouth at the moment.. This is what happens when you get too overwhelmed with BOTH kids at the same time.. If you didn't notice, watch the video again..

whats new?
Hi all! here and there I'll be in the mood to write but do other things instead. Its usually about random stuff, like the other day i wanted to blog about the Duggar family.. about how i just love that family(I secretly want to be like that family but I don't think I will end up with THAT many kids), love their values(except the skirt thing).. I'm so excited for Josh(first born) and his wife Anna, who is expecting their first child.. Makes me wonder there will be baby #19 while they are already grandparents.. see, told ya, just random blogs! :)
I've started to read again!! :D Thanks to Kindle on the Ipod touch! I'm really enjoying it! When I was in school and college, you wouldn't see me reading for enjoyment so this is a big change for me... I'm currently reading.. Rattled!:A Memoir I'm almost done with that book and then moving back on the book that Alex bought for me when he was out on a business trip for the day.. I'll Scream Later by Marlee Matlin, a deaf actress. I have soo many books I cant wait to read!
Been a while since I've talked about my kids... Carson keeps getting smarter and smarter and talking more and more.. Sometimes I wonder if he's ever going to be quiet, especially in the car while I'm driving!
He asked me a few times...(when he sees a pregnant woman) "Mommy, how does the baby get in her belly?"
Me.."From the daddy"
Carson: "Where's daddy?"
Thinking..Yikes! You're only 3 1/2 years old, you're not supposed to be asking about that... YET..
Look whos gonna be walking soon!! Where did the time go!?

i'm such a slacker!
Its official... I'm a slacker...
*Haven't kept up with my 101 books since early March
*Haven't started on baby shoes for a cousin who entered the world over 3 months ago.
*Have lots of books I want to read, but never make it past chapter 2-3, maybe 4 if I really tried.. ;)
*Still have cloth diapers to sew. We only use 4 cloth diapers.
*Sewing projects is still sitting around on the card table. I woke up with motivation to sew but never made it to the sewing chair, because I chose to get on Facebook and see whats up with everyone.
*the "C" room is overloaded with toys and VERY unorganized.. has been for months..
*I still have pictures from May 2008 to print off..
*Kylie, who is 9 months old now, still does not have a photo album..
*not making time for myself, which is why i feel like I'll lose it some days..
That tells ya something right?? I'm a slacker and don't make the best choices around here... This computer is just too addicting!
What I DON'T slack at....
*giving my kids lots of hugs and kisses..(ok my hubby gets them too.......sometimes ;))
*using the bathroom
*taking showers.. (even though it may not get done til 2am)
*brushing my teeth.. (same as above, sometimes its not til 2am)
*changing diapers
*giving my kids baths
*laundry (ok sometimes they get a lil behind..)
*dishes (again, sometimes the sink gets piled high with dirty dishes)
*eating (you can tell by looking at me)
*feeding my kids
*making milk
Yesterday, a little bird said to me... "You take advantage of your husband, you'll never get a 8am-5pm job, you've never even had a "real" job before!"
You are right, I wouldn't want a 8-5 job, but you should know.. I already do work way longer than 8-5.. It doesn't always start at 8 in the morning, sometimes later(thanks to having kids that likes to sleep in) but it sure lasts way longer than 5pm and sometimes even "get called in" in the middle of the night..
A message to that little bird, "You just wait til you have kids!"
Being a mom is a "real" job, therefore this is part of the reason why I'm a slacker! the other part is not making the right choices... (i.e. instead of getting started on a project, I get on Facebook or read a blog.. like I said, computer is addicting.. I told my hubby that we would save some $ by shutting internet off, but really, we both would be lost without it!)
Off the subject here, I should probably apologize about the previous blog, I realize that it may offend some, and some may not agree with me.. I understand. I'm just glad to get it out my system as it was something I thought about a lot(and still do).
Thank you for reading my rambling....Again this is part of the reason why I'm a slacker. (my escape zone!) :) Have a great day!

God-centered post
Wanna make God laugh? Tell him YOUR plans..
*Become an OB Nurse... God laughed and blessed me with 2 beautiful kids(so far) and allowed me to stay at home with them. (He really does know what he's doing! ;) I can't imagine being a nurse)
*Have my dream home..my dream car.. travel.. have lots of money... God laughed.. But I'm still thankful we have a roof over our heads, 2 vehicles that gets us around(luckily I have good luck with them)... Travel- we are talking/planning our first 'real' family vacation for this summer.. Money-my husband is about to take a minor 'risk' for his business that I'm actually feeling good about, but God might laugh..
Its really important to make choices with God's help instead of making the choices yourself!!
Going against God's plans? (Read at your own risk)
*Wait 'X' years after marriage to start a family... 'X' or more years comes around... Cant get pregnant.. "hmm wonder why I cant get pregnant, guess I'll need to go get some fertility treatment and get pregnant.... " God gave you your chance to get pregnant during that time it was YOUR plan to not have kids.. This happens a lot..
*Trying to get pregnant and can't? Maybe its not God's timing or has other plans for you.. AND remember God's plans are BETTER than our own plans..
*Birth control(I'm talking the pills, depo shot, that arm needle thing, the nuva ring, not the family planning method, condoms, you get the picture right?) prevents pregnancy... Think again and please do your research.. it does NOT prevent pregnancy, it terminates a pregnancy.. Life begins when a fertilized egg and sperm meets.. birth control just prevents this from entering the uterus..
*I feel like I'm going against God's plans when I say I want to wait a few years on the 3rd kid, but what if NOW is my chance to have more kids and then in a few more years, God says "no.".. Toughy!!
Of course, I'll be happy if we get a surprise in the near future! Whatever happens, happens! :D
*When a door closes, another one opens.
*If God doesn't think you can handle it, He wouldnt allow it!
*Sometimes things just don't the way we want them to but God is still in control and always has something better in mind for us!
(note: No, there is nothing bothering me to make me post something about this, I just thought about it today and thought of all those times *I* planned to do something and it never worked out. I've learned to just leave it all up to God. :) We have a few 'big' new things coming up and just not sure where we should go with these 'big' things.. I'm putting my trust in the Lord and let him lead us to where we should go.. So far its all looking good!!)
