the joys of family

I often find myself having more fun spending time with family rather than out partying. I will be able to look back in a few years and be thankful that I spent most of my time with my children and family. Yeah I do like to have some alone time sometimes with just me and the hubby. I know growing up I don't recall much family time except for around the holidays. I feel as though family is more important than drinking all the time. I'm not writing this to affend anyone. If you fee as though I am I guess you must be one of those that leave your kids with a sitter all the time to go out.
Lately we have been spending a lot of time outdoors and at my youngest brothers house. We didn't get the house we were wanting. We have to try again in a couple months and hope and pray it is still up for sale then.(it's a long story)
For now we are going to be putting a fence up in our backyard for the dogs and making a flowerbed out front. There is not much grass there so I figure why not plant the flowers I got before they die.
I got my 4D ultrasound on Thursday. The baby is weighing in at 4lbs 9oz already. I so hope I go early! Otherwise she is gonna be a big girl. Her feet are even huge! I have pics up on my myspace page of them if you would like to look. Well better go.

life in my fast lane

Well as you may have guessed things are getting pretty busy. I get up everyday with just enough time to feed the kiddo's ,take the dogs out ,yell at the kids to get dressed a hundred times before the finally listen. Then get Aurora dessed and out the door to get errends ran. I hope I don't forget anything half the time!
Felecity is getting excited about dancing at the park in july and her recital will be in july also. July is going to be a busy month already and it's not july yet.
We have done a lot of outdoor things with the kids lately. It's good for them to be active. We did get a chance to go to the park pool one day this week. That was fun. Preaton did get burnt though. I thought Aurora would be fried but she was good. The water was still a little cold but it was refreshing.
I just hope the weekend is nice enough for us to do some outdoor activities.

progress

Ok so far so good. The bank excepted our offer on the house we have been looking at. Now we just need to go through the rest of the process and with any luck we will be moved in july.
Besides the flood around us everything has been good. We didn't get any damage or flood water in our house or basement. It was all around us though. We got lucky. I just hate all this rain we have gotten. Not that I want an drought but rain like every day now come on.
My pregnancy has went well so far. I am now seeing my doc every two weeks. It's getting close!
The kids have enjoyed being able to play outside almost all day. Preston's hair is already turning blonde and felecity is already getting tan. I'v already been asked if I take her tanning. Come who would let a 4yr old tan in a tanning bed. Chandler is growing up so quick too. Some of the things he does and says makes me derl so old.
Until next time.

schools out!

Wow! This school year came bad went fast. Chandler just barely missed honor roll for the whole year. We are still proud of him though. I also had him thinking he was going to take 1st grade over again. I finally told him he gets to go to 2nd grade though. Preston is excited to get to go to 1st grade next year.
The kids like the summer off but I kinda like the break from them for the afternoon too. Since they have been out they have got me up at the butt crack of dawn every morning. By the time the day is over I am exhausted.
Today I spent most my day cleaning my truck. We are thinking about selling it since gas prices are so high and I am kinda wanting a car. I won't prolly be able to fit all the kids in it but I can barely take the truck right now with gas prices so high. Besides we have the van so it't won't be too bad.
We are still waiting to see what goes on with the house we are looking at. I hope we get it,but I hate the thought of moving again. It will be worth it though if we get it. Lots of room for everyone. Well that's it for now.

can't sleep so I'll write a little!

Ok well I think we may of found us a house that is big enough for us. It is big enough the kids can all have their own room plus more. We are crossing our fingers eveything goes good from here on. Wish us luck!
I have had so much on my mind lately that I havn't been sleeping well.with the new baby coming soon and trying to find a bigger house things are just racing in my head. We are also selling our quads since we havn't had much time to ride lately. The kids will still have theirs we don't plan to get rid of those. We do plan to get new ones later but right now we are focused on a lot. Also since I made a deal with the hubby the only way I will sell my quad is if I get a tanning bed. So I am going Saturday to do that. At first I was going to trade it for one but another deal worked out for us.
The kids are all doing great and learning how to use their heelys. Aurora now has 6 teeth and more trying to come through. She's is so close to walking now that I can't bleave how much she has grown in a year. Where does time go?
We are also thinking about breeding our yorki poo. I'll let ya know how that goes. Well I can't think of anything else so later.

Struggles in life

Lately things have been so busy! We have been running around getting so much done. The kids party and lots of other things. There is never enough hours in the day. The kids are almost out of school so things are about to get busier. We havn't planned anything yet for this summer but I'm sure we will have fun. There is never a dull moment around our house.
Not too much longer and the new baby will be here. I can't wait to meet her. I was hoping we could find us a little bigger house by then but with the econemy things are not going our way. We really love where we are at but wish the house was bigger. There are so many empty houses around us now but noone can get the loans for them. well guess that is it for now until next time............

Finally a name!

Well as you may have noticed we finally picked out a name for our new baby due in just a couple months. It's long but she will be named after a few family members and close friends. Are you ready? Trinity LynnLee Jo Nuckols. I love it! I guess that's all that matters.
The hubby is done with school finally and will soon be a licenced plumber. Yeah more money! We have his graduation in a week or so. I'm so proud of him. The kids are doing well for the most part. Chandler is still doing great in school as far as grades go. Preston is done with wresteling and got a trophy for that. He's already asking when gr gets to go back! Felecity is doing great and loves these nice days. She plays outside like all day! Dance is also going well for her. She got her outfit and can't wait to wear it. Aurora is almost walking and still as rotten as ever!
The kidos just had their birthday party this past Saturday at the scuba place here in town. The loved getting to swim. The boys got heelys for a gift from their mama and papa. So the next day I went and got felecity a pair since she tried on Preston,s and she did ok with them. What can I say they are spoiled! Well that's it for now. I'll try to post more soon!
