Catch up!!

It has been a long time since I have posted anything, we have been busy busy.......well Jake has. A couple of weeks ago, I had been having a rough couple of days and was being pretty homesick and so my Mom and Dad decided to, at the last minute, just whisk me home and take care of Addi and I. It was such a fun trip and it was so nice to get away and not have to think about or worry about anything but spending lots of time with my family! Thank you sooo much Mom and Dad you made my whole year! While we were there we didn't tell Jake's family we were coming, so we got to go and surprise each of them! It was also Terry's birthday and we were able to go on a great little family vacation to Island park! Both sides of the family spoiled and took great care of us. We are so very thankful for very loving families that do so much for us, thank you so much. While I was away Jake called me one day and said that at the last minute we were supposed to move into our house. We were planning on moving as soon as I got back, well my wonderful husband decided he was just going to do it all himself and have our house all moved into so that when we got back we would have a new home. He worked really hard and had to pack and move everything without me, thankfully we have a bunch of awesome friends that helped him and when we got home we were all moved in! I have been horrible with taking pictures I completely forgot to even bring my camera to Idaho with us and so I have no pictures from there.

I have been doing lots of unpacking, putting my house in order and a little painting (which I suggest never try to paint by yourself, no latter, while 7 months pregnant, I have never been so sore in my life, i'm laying on the couch unable to move) so I will post some pictures of the new house soon I just need to get a little more things in order. We are loving our new house though we have a huge covered porch (which is a must in florida), a very big fenced in backyard, and a garage, oh a garage I never new that such a tiny thing would be the best luxury in life!!! The only downfall to our house is that the entire house is tiled, yes bedrooms and all, it has been a huge challenge to keep clean and it is not the most comfortable thing to kneel on for your morning and evening prayers, just little things you don't think about. When we first came home Addi wouldn't play with her toys or anything, I thought that maybe it was because she was adjusting to the new house but then last saturday we broke down and went out a bought a big rug for our living room and the minute we put it down Addi had her shoes kicked off, bringing out all her toys and laying down literally making snow angels in the carpet, she was so happy for some comfy carpet to sit down and play on, it looks like we are going to need a few more of those rugs so that our daughter can feel a little more at home!

Jake is now started back up again at school and once again is realizing that he is taking on way too much!! I try to tell him every year that he is packing on too much of a work load but he never believes me until it is too late. Thankfully he is only taking 12 credits this semester, but he is also still working for Disney about 20-25 hours a week plus drive time which takes him away a lot longer, he was elected again as co-class president and then he has also taken on a Consulting Project for the pro golfer Annika Sorenstam, he will be helping to create a marketing plan for her golf academy. It is a lot for him to take on all at once but we are hoping that all of these little things he is doing will help for us to stand out when it comes time to find a job in a jobless economy! I know he is working hard but sometimes it's hard to be a supportive wife when it makes for pretty lonely days and night. Last night I asked Addi what she wanted for dinner and she told me no, we can't eat, we have to wait for daddy and she stuck to her guns she refused to eat without her daddy. Needless to say she fell asleep waiting and didn't have any dinner that night. We really look forward to Sunday's so that we can atleast have one day out of the week to spend together!

Miss little Addisyn is growing up way too fast and is becoming quite the little priss! She loves to go out to the backyard and pick flowers for her mom, she also is coloring and drawing all day long and of course loves to watch movies and lots of them. I know that I shouldn't let her watch as much as I do but sometimes the days seem longer every day and I just don't know how to entertain her while I work on some of my other projects, so I guess the movie's can stay for now. She already misses her Grandparents and is let down a little every time she sees what looks like any of their cars, but she is loving being home again and her and her daddy have developed quite the little bond. Every time her dad leaves she tells him not to go and has to give him big hugs and kisses atleast twice before he can leave. It is so great for me to see, sometimes I forget what a wonderful bond us stay at home mom's get to form with our kids, that I realize sometimes the dad's feel a little left out sometimes. Addi is getting more and more excited to have a baby sister while we are slowly starting to set up the baby's room, eventhough she wasn't too excited to have to give up her rocking chair. She kept telling me that it was in the wrong room and she wanted me to help her move it back into her room and I told her that she needed to give it to the baby and she just kept crying and saying but it's my chair! We have lately been putting her in that chair for time outs you would think she would be more than happy to get rid of that chair, but no I guess it will be a little more of a challenge to have two kids than I think! Addi's birthday is also coming up soon and she knows it, she has been planning what she wants to do and she is very excited for a birthday cake and has told me and jake many times that she needs a birhtday hat! So it will be an exciting birthday for her this year! Well that is what we have been up to lately, sorry it is kind of a boring post, no pictures, just letting every one know what our life in Florida is like!
