Clearing progress ..

I am going to TRY to post pictures here and there of the progress and changes of the land. Josh always says "I wish we had a before and after picture of what we've done" (from our cabin) so I am going to do that with this new land. Hopefully. Ha!



Found an old coral ... this land was SO GROWN UP!


Well I couldn't leave this picture out... he is sooooo stinking cute I must say ;)
Jake is getting WAY TOO BIG also, but he doesn't let me take pictures a lot! lol

Weekend Get-Away

Josh planned a last minute weekend get-away for us and my mom and Russ. We ate, fished, played, roasted marshmallows, and just spent quality time together. I am thankful that we are able to just jump up and go somewhere like this. I’m also thankful for a husband who inspires us to get out and do something fun on the weekends. I’m glad mom and Russ got to enjoy the weekend with us. This is Will’s second time to trout fish and he’s not even 1 yet LOL! Love making memories with my boys!


 

The people who run the resort left us a goodie basket :)
 
I think he's lookin' like his momma ;)

*2015* New Beginnings ...

2014 flew by! I can not believe 2015 is here. The older I get, the more time flies. I am ready to get this year started. Last year was HARD, but it was so very rewarding. By hard I mean, working full time, taking care of my family, going to school and being pregnant. That may not seem hard to some, and I know others have their own battles to deal with, but I am so glad to have 2014 behind me. I graduated college and brought home a new precious baby boy. What could be better than that, right?! It wasn't easy though. When we had Will, he gave us a little scare with his heart rate dropping. He was in the NICU for a day for monitoring. Not sure I have prayed as hard as I did, nothing scarier than seeing your newborn baby's heart rate drop so low the monitors go off and beep bright red flashing lights. First time in 9 years I have ever seen Josh shed a tear. :( However; God seen us through that little rough spout and we just have a baby with a low resting heart rate. Which means, he will only be the best athlete LOL! Getting through finals and graduating was exhausting, since Will was due in just 3 weeks, but God seen me through that too. Since we had moved from the cabin to our in-law's trailer while looking for another house or land, our living quarters have been extremely tight and a little trying at times. HA! Wait, let me say everyday. I am thankful for a roof over my head, but I am ready to move again. I tell everyone that Jake is a bull in a china cabinet in that tiny trailer. GEEZ. It has definitely taught my entire family, PATIENCE, we are still learning too.
 
THIS year we are starting a new chapter in life. Every year is a new one, right?! This year we will start building a house. We bought some land and will begin to build in the spring hopefully. My work office has moved locations, so that's new beginnings and new opportunities too :)
 
My boys are growing and getting bigger by the day. I love watching them interact now. Lots of fun and exciting things to look forward to this year! :)

Happy 7 months to this happy little guy!

Teething at it's peak... he has about 6 coming in at once. I finally see 2 poking through the skin. It's been very rough. Way worse than Jake had it...
