Big News...

Well, it has been quite sometime since i have posted to my blog. We had a great thanksgiving, awesome 2nd brithday and a great christmas!

Our new year started really crappy with the loss of Nic's mom on 12/31/11. She lost her 2.5year battle of cancer and has since went to live with our lord in heaven...We have been left to deal with a lot of things..she had no will or life insurance...nic is the closest of age living relative so it all falls on him to get done and taken care of. pretty stressful time!

Speaking of nic he is on days right now...has been since the first of November, there are no signs right now of him going back either!

Lastly we have recently been surprised with the news that we are expecting our second child...due in early September...i say surprise well because it was a HUGE one!

life...

To think that in one single second your life or that of someone you love could be gone...Today our community lost a great teacher at a young age...it makes me remember that God is truly in control...i waste too much time worrying about what i can't control...taking things for granted and trying to plan out EVERY part of his life (well mine but God is in control of it!) Why does God have the plan he does we will never know until we are living with him in heaven eternally.

lessons for today...live life for today, don't worry about what i can't change, FROG, let him lead me where i need to go...live my life for God and only him!

i not want that....

Well, B has a new phrase...can you guess what it is?????

I not want that/it.....great...I am sooooo in love with this new phrase...NOT...everything we ask him now is I not want it. Or NOPE, I not want that...I liked it when he would just eat whatever we gave him or did whatever we wanted him to do...who gave this 21month old a choice in the matter??????

I am glad he is growing into his own person...I knew this would happen someday but really already?!?!?!? all i have to say about it is I not want that!
