The game of life.....

I sure has been a while.. I think it is the season .... BUSY it just started early this year. There has been alot of stuff going on around here. So I will break it down by person starting with the littlest one.
Abbiella-Grace is creeping up on 10 months... so fast. She is growing like a weed and is finally 16 pounds and 27 inches long. She was sick for almost 3 weeks it even came to a ER visit her first one. The doctor was of NO help he just told me that she had GAS and was classified as INFANT COLIC. I asked him why and he said it just happens. What he did not bother to ask or say was that the antibiotic she was on could cause gas OR that the formula that i had switched her to was causing her tummy to HURT and her body was trying to fix that so the cough she had was hanging on because her little body could not do both.. I went to her doctor to get all this fixed and figured out! Only of course after 4 sleepless nights for all of us. She is doing much better now and we all are sleeping well
Andrew-Michael is doing okay in school he is struggling with SLOWING DOWN in his reading so he is not doing so well there. He got hit on the bus last week then he hit the kid back so now HE is suspended from the bus for 3 days next week. FUN FUN in trouble for self defense. He did not get in to trouble for hitting but did get in trouble for lying to me and telling me that he did not hit the other kid. In other news Andrew is a cub scout now it is alot of fun, we have been selling popcorn for 2 weeks and he is doing great.. if you would like to order popcorn please let me know by Saturday.

Now to Rich and myself... we have been working on refinancing and in one work it has been stressful! I have had a headache for days we keep getting surprises over and over and over again, and they are not small surprises either, they are like HUGE 5,000 surprises. I have been sick over this we thought this was what were are suppose to be doing we had prayed about it over and over and this is the best way to use our money wisely and it was not like we had much of a choice because of our current mortgage plan. On a fun note Rich and I are going to A Weekend to Remember conference in Billings next weekend, without any children... that will be fun now if we can get the house done before then that would be great. so we can focus on the conference.

This is why Summer is so hard.........

Lets see so far this summer ......

The kids and i went to Michigan for way to long... 23 days. It was fun but i would not want to do it again without my husband. That was to long to be with out my help mate. I got to see my grandma and grandpa and the whole family got to meet Abbiella-Grace.
Then when I got back i desided that we needed to have a 4th of July BBQ. oh i was not thinking because the house was a mess because while i was gone Rich was working any wheres from 50-60+ hours a week, Needless to say he did not get much house cleaning done. So rush to get house clean CHECK. Get food CHECK Time for fellowship CHECK..... However the rain also CHECKED in during this whole thing and Rich ended up grilling in the rain.... what a trooper.
Then the week following the 4th I helped some good friends Matt and Katie, out process thier house on base. THAT WAS A JOB!!! I think the military should not worry so much about the little bit of stuff left on the burners and the blinds and just be thankful that we have troops in the houses serving the military.... Sorry for that little bunny trail. That week was a Tues-Friday job but we passed!!! and they are on to Wyoming. In helping them we gained a King size bedroom set which leads me to my next adventure.............
Saturday July 11th Rich and I cleaned out our room with the queen bed and two mismatched dressers in to the living room and then Andrew reset up the bed frame down stairs and we moved the dressers in to Abbiella's room for tempoary storage.... they are still there making her room very very cluttered because I am in the middle of going threw her clothes because she is not in 0-3 mo. anymore and is still in 3-6 so i have been going and sorting them, I do have a trip to Once Upon A Child planed but it has not happened yet because.....
We have had a few days of rest if you call it that it has been busy still with silly stuff like me locking my keys in the van last Thursday causing me NOT to be able to go pay bills and other running around. And then this weekend we went to a few garage sales and had some fun at the base pool with my mom and one of her friends Jill. It was Abbiella's first time in a pool and SHE LOVED IT. I think she maybe part frog or fish but i have not determined what yet. Then today.....
Our ladies mininstry had the summer garden party tonight... we had a Cholat. Cake contest. there were many entries and they were all good but my cake did win the 1st loser position. or the 1st runner up. My cake was a 4 layer cholt. with homemade coconut buttercream frosting and inbetween each layer there was toasted coconut and almond mixture, This was also on the top and side of the cake. It was pretty good to eat and to look at. I was happy about that, however it was quite the adventure getting the frosting made today... I will spare you the details but it involved one dozen eggs *the reciepe only called for 6, one pan of burnt simple syurp, and somehow 2 burnt fingers I do not even know how that happened... but it was all worth it.
So now I sit here at the computer typing this blog very tired and you maybe asking yourself why I am up so late, so i will not keep you wondering anymore... My WONDERFUL daughter desided that tonight she needed to stay up very very late like 3 hours pasted her bed time so she did not go to sleep until after midnight and well I needed to unwind so here I am ...

You will never guess what has been going on....

Hey everybody
We have had alot going on so far this year.... For starters are baby GIRL ABBIELLA-GRACE DIANE was born on January 7th 6 pounds 12 ounces 18 3/4 inches long....labor and delivery was GREAT!!!! Adjusting to a new baby has been hard and quite an adjustment but we are all doing very well.
This is her at 8 weeks.
In March Andrew-Michael turned 8 we had a bowling party and he had 8 friends there fun was had for all. That night he went to the Guns and Hoses hockey game and had a blast as well.

Rich has been working hard because the company only has two drivers at the current time, down from four so he is getting plenty of hours any where from 40 -60 hours a week it is hard but we are very grateful for the wonderful blessing his job is. Our total bill for having Abbiella-Grace was close to $15,000 and we did not have to pay a penny.... the health insurance is GRAND!!! We do have some time to do some fun stuff......

<-- Richs gift to his mother on her 58th Birthday on April19. In April, keeping with tradition we had a massive snow storm, but the temp out side was nice so Rich and Andrew-Michael along with my parents got to have some fun.....by the way it is illegal to snowmobile in city parks!!!

Here is Abbiella-Grace in her Easter dress on Easter Sunday!!
