Hollister Timothy is 6 months!

The biggest change is our big man is CRAWLING! He started one day before he turned 6 months! He is for sure our earliest crawler! I love what my aunt said "self preservation is a huge motivator" that is very true:)! He can only hands and knees crawl a little bit but day by day he gets stronger. He eats like a horse. No joke. I had mixed up a whole banana and half an avocado, Hollister ate the whole thing! On a normal day he eats 2 cubes for breakfast and lunch and 4 for diner! He is my first baby to love to eat food! He throws a fit for what we are eating and from time to time gets a nibble:). If it weren't for the fact I am super paranoid about choking he would get it a lot more :). He loves to nurse, it is his favorite pastime. He is still a chunk, we get comments on his size all the time. We also hear how pretty he is, and we have to agree he is a cutie! It has been a huge challenge packing with a mobile baby who puts everything in his mouth! He is super friendly and out going, he will let anyone hold him he just likes to be held! H decided that sleeping all night in his own crib is over rated. He now wakes up twice to nurse, why sleep when you could be eating? HA! He starts out in his bed then moves to ours around 3ish. We have started with signs and he loves it!! He hasn't done any yet but does wave his hands around. Super cute! We are enjoying our little man so much! He is such a blessing!

we are busy...

here is a little play by play. we are moving back to tiny town. i totally agree moving as much as we do is not normal. however, i never said i we were a normal family. i have decided to embrace the crazy:)! i was offered an AMAZING job and i took it! i will be turning in my sahm card in t minus two weeks and 3 days, but who is counting? josh will be going to school and keeping the kids during the day, he will also be working nights. josh only works 4 nights a weeks so we will have weekends OFF! people, in the history of our relationship this has never happened. we are not gonna know what to do with ourselves! it is not all rainbows and roses, it breaks my heart to leave my mom & dad. it has been awesome living here. if i needed anything they would swing it by. they get the kids every. single. weekend. yep, it is awesome. the kids are sad, we are sad, they are sad. we are going to miss nena & pop more than you can imagine. and, yes they will only be 3hrs away but that is 3hrs too much. this was far from an easy decision. i had migraines and was litterlaly sick over it. many many many hours of prayer even. we have peace about it but it is not something that is "perfect". it is what it is and we are gonna make the best of it! i have been offered an amazing job and that is such a blessing! the kiddos will be with us or my dear friend who will be watching them a couple of hours while josh can sleep. it is a good thing for our family even though it isn't an easy thing. i am almost certain that i know everyone who reads my little blog, so you guys already knew all this. i did have to recorded for the sake of record keeping:)!

***i just notice i apparently decided to forgo capitalization in this post....yea...not fixing it either:)!

Here we go....

again!!

that is really all i can say about it right now....

Pinterest...

I am obsessed! Seriously! If you are not a member, you should be! It is AWESOME! If you are a member follow me so I can stalk....errrr.....follow you:)! I am really working on sitting aside some time for all the ideas that I am pinning! My favs are the free printables for organization and decor. I am also a sucker for the sayings. I literally LOL while I read for them! Well, there is my plug (and no I was not reimbursed for my promotion :)). I know I am late to the Pinterest party, but hey at least I made it:)!

***more odds & ends****

Why is it that I have tons of things to record until I sit down to do it and then I can't think of one thing? That is until I hit publish!
* EG refused to participate in an activity for the church Christmas play because they didn't have a pink Shepard's robe. She wouldn't do it for love nor money.
*Boo isn't happy about not going to school this year. He won't start for two years, hopefully we can get him into a preschool or mdo soon!
*I am adjusting to the responsibility of having a school kid to get ready every morning and a folder to sign and read every afternoon!
*I asked EJ who she played with at school and she said "You know Mom we really hardly ever get to play." That is so true they get about 40 min of free play a day, that is it!
*EJ thinks it is so funny that there is a girl in her class named Becky, because that is her NeNa's name!

Ready for Fall?

Yes, I am! I thought maybe if I changed my blog background it would hurry up and get here already!

Hillbilly handfishin & Such!

Tidbits that I hope to never forget! After all, these are the best days of my life! I work, although hardly ever, in a Geriatric Psychiatric unit. Ever single one of my sweet patients tell me these are the days I will miss, I whole heartily agree!
*Boo is obsessed with Hillbilly Hand fishing. It is by far his favorite show, not that he watches much T.V.:). He can't wait to get to go. Boo wants to ride his motorcycle there. G is going to make me gray headed.
*EG is too funny! She loves to wear dresses and is super prissy. She will prance around in front of people until they tell her she is pretty.
*EG calls H baby Saul.
*EJ seems to mature daily, not exaggerating at all.
*She loves all things bright and sparkly! Emery Jai has serious opinions on her hair, her clothes, everything!
*Guice is our little super hero! He pretend flies around Wal-Mart.
*EG claws Boo & EJ's faces off. Yes, you read that right. The nickname Dragon was hard earned.
*EJ announced to everyone at kindergarten open house that her mommy said "school lunches are pure junk and buses are death traps". I wanted to d-i-e!
*Boo & EJ are now allowed to play games on my computer. It amazes me how quickly kids pick up new things!
