Violet at 31 weeks

2010-02-03T14:14:00.000-08:00

This week was my almost 31 week check up. My Mom came with me for moral support since Im having problems and needing answers. I switched Dr's and absolutly LOVE my new dr!!!! We were there for almost 2 hours. I had to have a bunch of diffrent tests done. From this pint on I will be having ultrasounds each week to check my fluid and make sure that it doesnt get too high. Which is perfectly fine with me!!! I love seeing my baby!! The ultrasound tech is so sweet and always tells me how cute the baby is....Im like ya ya how can you tell. (in my head of course) haha
Anywho while she is doing the ultrasound she says dont tell anyone Im doing this a switches on the 4D.... It was amazing!! You could really see her sweet face and she really is cute! Im so glad that my Mom was with me. Usually Im alone and dont get to share these kinds of things with anyone. (Brandon works like a dog) It was just wonderful to see my baby like this and have my Mama with me... so here she is all cute and fat!!

Count your blessings!!!

After the last post so many wonderful things have been happening!! Let me just tell you the rest of the story up to this point.....

After we sold my car I got sad for a day thinking how hard it was going to be with only one car. I started shopping around. We went to one place that wanted to finance us for a million% with a million $ down and a million $ a month . No thanks then we called carmax and they had a decent van for way too much and a high finance rate. I kept talking to my Dad about it all trying to find the best deal. He reminded me of the last scripture that I talked about said just wait the right thing will come along. Well it did!! Tuesday I found a nice van a Honda Odyssey good price good everything. All we have ever wanted was the Odyssey . We went later that night and looked at it and drove it. The lady was awesome!! We talked and talked and laughed and just really hit it off from our first phone conversation. While we were there looking at the car we let her know we couldnt really afford what they were asking. She kept saying that she really liked us and wanted us to have the car. (she was attached to her car the way I was to mine) She ended us selling us this great van for super cheap!!! Wednesday me and my Dad went down and he helped me apply for the loan. Once again we didnt think it was going to happen....We thought we would have to barrow a bunch of money or something. About 2 hours later we heard back from the bank that we were approved!! Wooooo whoooooo!!!! Well long story short (too late) Me and Livy drove home in the new van that night!!! I LOVE it!!!!

So just to jump around and tell my story out of order and all mixed up.....

Saturday night we found out that we are expecting another BABY!!!!! Just another reason I wanted to get a van right away before I started feeling super sick. So as some of you know we live in a 2 bedroom apartment. Not big enough for a family of 5 right?? To qualify for a 3 bedroom you must have 5 people living in your household. So first thing Monday morning I let our apts know that we are having another baby and to put our name on the list for a 3 bedroom. It normally is a really long wait, sometimes years because no one moves out. But nope not for us with the shower of blessings we have been getting lately, by Wednesday the manager of our apts let us know that there will be an apt. ready for us in about 30 days!!! Im just amazed by all the wonderful things Heavenly Father has been blessing us with in the past few weeks. I keep trying to figure out why he is doing all of this. With all the different reasons I come up with the one thing I truely believe is that He is doing all of this for us because He LOVES us so much!! And wants us to know it!

I am far from the kind of person I want to be, but even further from the person I was!! I am so happy to be right where I am today. Maybe He just wants me to know that He is proud of where we are heading as an eternal family!!!

I cant believe we are having another baby!! WOOOOOOOO WHOOOOOOOO

Byebye car :(

2009-07-30T23:37:00.000-07:00

We have been faced with the task of selling my car. We CAN NOT afford the payment and decided long ago that we needed to try to sell it. It is really hard for me to let go because I LOVE love love my car!! It is a beautiful green Honda CRV. We have always been really good about making the payments but the last few or so months have just been unbareable. So we made the decision and put it on Craigs list about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I didnt really think anything would happen because of the economy. I was really worried and just thought we would be screwed and wait for Honda to come and take the car back. Then we would have nothing and screw up our credit. Before I put the car on craigs list, I talked to my Mom and Dad and was upset and feeling overwhelmed by the whole situation. My Dad(Bill) let me know some good ideas and to just go and put the car on there and auto-trader and see what happens. After we got off the phone I was just still so upset and needed some comfort. So what is the perfect thing to do when you need comfort and peace??? Obviously it is to pray and read your scriptures......so thats exactly what I did.
I opened my Scriptures to where my Patriarchal Blessing was placed and started to read. At first I was a little too upset to absorb what I was reading until I read this verse, it was in section 111 of the D&C verse 5

~Concern not yourselves about your debts, for I will give you power to pay them.

I was like WOW!!! I cant believe I just read this!! I felt a strong feeling of gratitude and love and comfort come over me! I thought to myself well ok if you say so!! That was the end of my worries. How can some answers come so quickly and obviously and others dont! I thought well I better keep reading what if ther is more He wants me to know. So I went back and read more... verse 11 says

~Therefore, be ye as wise as serpents and yet without sin; and I will order all things for your good, as fast as ye are able to receive them.

I didnt think that these things would come so quickly. I guess I am more ready than I thought. The guy that came out to look at my car told me right away that he was looking for something less expensive. He was a really nice guy and talked for a while. I went in the house thinking ah man he isnt gonna buy it. I prayed and asked for something to happen and WOW it sure did!! I got the news earlier that he is going to buy it!!! Holy Crap!! How did that happen so perfectly!!??

I guess I just really want to share this experience so that I can express my Love and gratitude for My Father in Heaven!! How blessed am I??? He really will give you the rightous desires of your heart! These last few years have really made me see that I truely am a daughter of a loving Father in Heaven and he is always there listening to my prayers and guiding my life if I let Him. I am important enough for Him to change my life and bring me back to Him!!! I was never too far gone, a lost cause, or hopeless like I believed. He always watches over my family and will provide the things we need!! I am BLESSED beyond anything I can see or express!! And feel humbled by this experience.

I am going to miss my car but I am so grateful for this amazing blessing!!!

Olivia and Baga(thats how she says Grampa)

Our hike through the bush behind their house

Wild strawberries

Dan's homemade rootbeer

It is possable that I cant express how grateful I am to have the experience I had in Canada with my sweet husband and his family!! We had an amazing visit. I got to meet his Grandmother, step Mom Aunts, Uncles, Brother(step bro and sis), Cousins, friends and farm animals. It was great! There is so much love and support I cant even tell you. I now understand why my husband is the wonderful man that he is!! I loved every moment we were there. It is beautiful! Everything is green and clean and fresh. So many lakes and wildlife. I loved it there so much Ive been trying to figure out a way that we can live there someday.

I now have a new appreciation and love for my sweet husband. He is so wonderful! He has come from a place that I couldn't really grasp until I got to experience it. He is strong and smart, loving and caring, helpful and compassionate. I am starting to understand so much why Heavenly Father put us into each others lives. I can see now why we are perfect for each other!! I love him so much and want to make him happy. He is my miracle and the reason that I am able to sit in the temple and pray. I asked so see him through my Saviors eyes and now can get a glimpse. He is wonderful!!! I am grateful and so very blessed!!! I love him so deeply and want every one to know how great he is!!!

Here are some pictures of our wonderful trip!! The place we hope to call home someday!!!

For the last week and a half Ive been working out with Brandon at this gym in Santa Ana. He teaches kickboxing twice a week. I decided it was time for me to get into shape. It is alot of fun and a great workout!! He surprised me the other day and got me some pink boxing gloves!! Olivia was having fun wearing them and was going around hitting everyone! She is a natural! Im sure someday Daddy will surprise her with her very own pink boxing gloves!!! So cute!

I was getting tired of making dresses and needed something different. Sooooo I started sewing these cute little rompers. The cupcake on the bottom is made from taking different fabric and cutting it out shapes . Then I sewed them onto the fabric and viola a cupcake!! Im inlove. I have so many more ideas and plan on posting the other outfits that I have made. I made one with little fat birds.... too cute!!

2009-04-28T22:30:00.000-07:00

I planted some flowers about a month ago...

I have never been able to keep any plant alive. These have been here growing for a while now. Thanks to Aunt Shirley Ann she let me know that they needed more sun light. They almost died a week and a half ago when it was 102. Man I think we were all wilting. I just brought them inside and watered them real good. Poor things. They made it and I cant wait to see all of them bloom. So since I didn't kill these flowers I decided to plant some more and some basil. I will be so happy if it grows....... I love me some fresh basil!!!

These will be some pretty little white flowers

This will hopefully be Basil!! Mmmmmm

These are suposed to attract butterflies

I have been busy all week sewing these fun little dresses for Olivia. I think I have found a new passion of mine. I always like to create something out of nothing. I made up the patterns and started sewing. Some of them had to be altered a bit, but all turned out the way I wanted!!

I also made some headbands. I took the fabric and made roses. The others are just some flowers I bought from Michaels.....this is how they turned out.

These are the things that keep me sane!!

I hope you enjoy!

More dresses to come

2009-04-24T22:12:00.001-07:00

I will be posting a blog soon featuring all of the dresses that I have been sewing all week. Ive made 4 for Olivia and now I am working on some for Lili and Rosie. They are so cute and I must say that they are getting better as I go. I made up patterns myself and got better each time. Im very proud of myself. Stay tuned....Hopefully they will be posted soon!!

I was feeling like a dud so I got out my sewing machine. I made these cute little dresses for Olivia.....

They light up my life!!!

2009-03-29T21:57:00.000-07:00

As I watch my girls grow up I am just so greatful for both of them. It couldnt be more perfect for me to have a (almost) 15 year and a 14 month old. I love the time I get to spend during the day with my baby just her and I. The sweet mornings when we wake up and lay in bed together for a while cuddling. She is so happy and loving...we laugh and kiss and lay around. It is the perfect way to start my day.
I guess most parents might say that the teenage years are the hardest. I LOVE love love my teenager. I love her intelligence her personality her heart!! It has been so amazing to see her become such a wonderful young women. I always looked forward to this time with her. When we could sit and talk and be close. She is an amazing older sister. She loves Olivia so much and is usually so happy to help.
I cant even tell you how blessed I feel that they both chose me to be their Mother!!!

At the beach

2009-03-29T21:23:00.000-07:00

I guess this is why we live in California....While everyone else complains about the weather we complain about living in a tiny apartment.

This is heaven for me!! I love my girls! They light up my life!!Olivia pretty much ate sand the whole time.

My favorite picture ever!!!

Olivia thinks that just because she is so cute she can get away with stealing ornaments off the tree.

We had a very nice Christmas. Here are Aubrey and Olivia after opening presents. Aren't they so cute!!!

Time sure is flying by!!! I cant believe Christmas is already over! Soon it will be Olivia's first birthday. She has really been such a blessing in our lives.
