Last week was very long for me because I worked 4 days instead of 2. It is nice that my manager allows me to pick up extra hours if I would like. I have been working for almost 3 months now and it seems to be going fine. We are trying to figure out what to do with the kids once our babysitter goes back to school. It is kind of a stressful thing but I am sure we will figure something out!
I can not believe that it is the last week of July already. Where did the summer go? My trip to walmart was not cool, seeing all of the school supplies out. Yuk!
On Saturday Phil and I and the kids took a day trip to Phil's parents new house. We got on the road around 7am and got there around 11. It is very beautiful out there and relaxing. I like driving through the country looking at the mountains, horses, cows, and farms. We enjoyed BLT's for lunch and shish-ca-bobs and sweet corn on the cob for dinner. The trip home seemed like it took forever because we were all very tired and ready to crawl up and fall asleep anywhere possible. Esmie slept before we got out of town and slept the whole way home, which was nice. Chance on the other hand got hungry about 45 minutes into the ride. We still have our car so one car seat is on each side, my wide hips had to squish in between them so I could feed Chance without us having to stop. While I was feeding him we were listening to a few dixie chicks songs and I can't remember right now which one it was but as I was listening to the words and feeding my baby, looking in the mirror at my dear Husband, and to my right at my daughter, I could have cried. I am so lucky to have my own little family, to be the best Mother I can be to my two wonderful kids. To be the best wife I can be to Phil.
If you don't have kids it is so hard to explain how this kind of love feels. The way your kids look at you, call out your name, smile in return, giggle. It just warms my heart! I am extremely thankful for all that I have.
I love being a mother and wife. It is the best job...and of course sometimes hard but we learn right? Sometimes the hard way. Esmie still does not listen to me much when I say "no". She has attitude for sure. But even though she can be a little drama queen and thinks she runs the show, I still love her to pieces! I could go on and on but I wouldn't want to bore you any longer. ;)
Anyhow, this Mommy is off to bed. Who knows how early the kids will wake up in the morning. Have a great night everyone!
Take care.

Once a Teen and now an Adult
Today I turn 20 years old.
Do I feel old? No, not exactly. I do have two kids and a wonderful husband that makes my life happy. I am still employed and enjoying my job, although, some days can be stressful when my boss is snapping at me one minute and laughing with me the next. Later on today we are going to sign a lease for a duplex which we are very excited about. We have lived with Phil's parents for just about a year now and it is time for us to move out. We really appreciated them letting us stay with them, it means so much to us!
I have many things in my life to took forward to. Another year has passed but really, what is 20? It's nothing. Well, actually that means I am an adult. Does this mean more responsibilities? Become more wise and intelligent? I guess I have another whole year to figure this one out.
I'm off to feed my 3 month old and listen to my 14 month old walk around the house saying "momma, momma, momma, momma" and then walk over to me and babble something off and then walk away. :)
Take care!

I think it is time...
To update my blog again. I still do not have my camera fixed, in fact I still have not sent it in. I am kicking myself in the rear because I have missed so many opportunities to take some great shots of my kids.
Here is a little update on Esmie. She is a full time walker now and it is quite funny watching her make turns. It looks a bit messy but it's too darn cute. It's even funnier when we start chasing her and she lets out this low laugh like "ha! Mom you can't get me" type of laugh. She is starting to get worried when Chance cries and tries to give him his passy, which normally ends in him crying because it is being smashed in his face. I just can't even enough of Esmie knowing what is going on. For instance, She loses her passy every time I turn around which is sort of annoying to me. She will play without it for awhile but when she starts getting tired and we can't find it, we both get frustrated. I always ask her, "Esmie where's your passy?" and she holds her hands up like "I don't know mom" she will actually crawl around the floor and pick up toys trying to find it. At least she knows what she's looking for! Those things are like GOLD!
Onto our baby.
Chance seems to be growing two inches every day! Every time I put him in the car seat his head seems to move further to the top, well obviously, but he is growing way too fast! I think he might pass up his big sister if he keeps this up. Oh, don't you just love when your baby coos at you and gives a big belly laugh. Ok, actually I have to work hard to get a laugh out of him and only sometimes do I succeed. Phil on the other hand just looks at him and he laughs and laughs! It's so cute watching those two. Phil is going to have a blast teaching him how to play hockey and what not. :)
I need to get some sleep though. I work in the morning and I have a feeling that it is going to be a long day. Have a great night everyone!
Take care!
