Update

Hello all-
It sure has been a while since I've posted an actual blog/post! I just havent been in my blogging mood lately, been wrapped up in Christmas preparations and baby preparations, now that both is over with... Baby is here now!! Jackson Evan Tyler was born at home on January 7th, at 8:23pm after a quick, relaxing(yes, I said relaxing), peaceful labor! I've been DREADING labor/delivery but having a positive mindset during labor helped a LOT! Also a few tips from a few online like-minded friends helped as well! Tips for the pregnant moms out there, think about your child(ren) during labor! Give it a try and see if that helps! Anyway, back to baby Jackson, he weighed 8lbs 9oz, 20 inches long.. A bit bigger than i expected.. :) Looking back at the belly pictures, that big belly explains it all!
I cant believe he's 3 weeks old already! Weighed him today and weighed in at 9lbs 8oz. He's been a joy around here. His big brother and sister sure love him! He gets more kisses than I do!
I still haven't got to the birth story, hope to get on that soon along with a few other things I've been slacking at!
Jackson's newest pictures can be viewed here. Enjoy!

perfect country??

Sometimes I wonder if i somehow messed up on my flag page test. I figured I'd be perfect country but I guess its not my top 2 countries. As of right now, its driving me nuts seeing crumbs up against the walls on the floor that will require bending down to gather that up, seeing a spot I missed after I had just dusted like 15 mins earlier, all this stuff that has accumulated in this house since Aug which means I need to declutter AGAIN(the WHOLE house, attic, shed and the shop), seeing that the carpet needs shampoo'ed and have a garage sale, and I can just keep going on and on...and its all driving me crazy!
Does that sound like perfect country to you? Wanting everything to be perfect but its nearly IMPOSSIBLE with 2 little ones in the household. Yea, so why is it bugging me so much when I'm aware of all of this?
I will admit that i do have days when i just don't care if I see dirty dishes in the sink, seeing laundry piling up, etc.. Just leave it and do it another time is what I do, but it doesnt happen very often.
Do you guys have days like this when all of this never-ending stuff just gets to ya? I want a maid! I'd rather play with my kids instead or sew/do projects!

Ah, the joys of being a grown up..

Anyone need toys? Theres some stuff going in the garage sale.. When will this garage sale happen?? who knows.. :)

Britax anyone?

So.. here MAY be a chance to actually get to be a Britax carseat owner!

to post or not to post about??

Well I'm going to do it but its NOT in my words(link below) and I agree with it.. Once in a while, my husband and I will get the question..... "so do you guys vaccinate your kids?" We don't... For biblical and health reasons.. it's the PARENTS job to keep your child(ren) safe/protected, NOT the FDA's, that includes doctors too.

Aborted fetuses as one of the vaccination ingredients really gets to me.. Don't you think that would be linked to HIV/AIDS?? I'm just saying......

Why we don't vaccinate

And theres more info on the right side bar under the vaccination category..

...and I'm happy to be your Carson...

9.4.09

Me: I'm happy to be your mom. I love you.
Carson: and I'm happy you are my mom.

9.5.09
Me: I'm happy to be your mom.
Carson: and I'm happy to be your Carson.

awww.. Gotta love that kid!

Carson also is starting an interest in reading time on the clock.. sometimes he'll say its 10:2 o'clock when the long hand is pointing at the 2 and the small hand is pointing at the 10 and same with other numbers.. Not bad for a 3(ALMOST 4 year old), right? Guess I should teach him how to read the clock but I feel that's going to be a challenge for me..

i.don't.know.

Where you gonna go after the house sells?

Do you have a house lined up yet?

Are you going to build or get another house?

Wish I had an answer for ya.. Only God knows what's going on....

My answer is.. i.don't.know

We have NO idea what path to take... We have NO idea where we'll be living at when baby #3 arrives... We don't know..

The answer I CAN give you is... God has a plan and HE knows whats going to happen.. My job is to:
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Psalm 3:5-6
