Too Much to Do, Too Little Time

It's the end of summer and I think I may have done two things on my 3 mile long to do list. I'm bummed about it. I don't know what happened with my big summer plans to get things done.

I planned on getting Anniston's room ready. Well, this is what it looks like. No paint, no furniture put together, just junk. The only thing we've done is gotten her bedding. It's sitting in a big box.

I planned on having my room look AMAZING at school. It looks okay, but I still have tons to do there too.

I planned to get my maternity plans done for when Anniston is born. I did a little of that, but it isn't legible or organized.

So, I really don't know where my summer went or what went wrong with all my plans. Needless to say, I'm a bit overwhelmed. The good part is that I've gotten to spend lots of time with Ava and that is priceless! I know the rest will get done in time!

Adley's Birth Story

I have been a little overloaded in life and let our blog go to the back burner! But, I must write about sweet Adley's birth story just like I did with Ava and Anniston :) On June 8, after a sleepless night, Kyle and I got up and got ready to head to the hospital to meet our third precious girl. To say I was nervous would be the biggest understatement ever. Even though I had gone through 2 csections before, it didn't mean I wasn't scared and nervous....it's a big, scary surgery! Mostly I was just afraid of the needle.... We arrived at the hospital, checked in, and started getting prepped for surgery. First came the beautiful gown (I was so happy it wasn't the paper/plastic gown like I had with Anniston...I sweat to death in that gown), then came blood work and the IV, which I was not excited about....I hate needles. And then the VERY worst part started. Waiting. Waiting for the magical hour of 7:30 am. It took forever. I was...

January's Over.....What?!?

Where has the time gone? I can not believe January is just about over. Things have been crazy busy in our home, but still great nonetheless. Ava's getting so big! She's rolling over from back to belly and belly to back, she's playing with toys (her favorite is a monkey we named Milo), she's laughing and "talking" all the time; her personality is really starting to shine through. I can't believe our baby is going to be 4 months old in about a week. CRAZY! Other updates on our girl.....she's sleeping through the night, we were blessed that she started doing that at 6 weeks ( Babywise really helped with this!) She's getting rice cereal in two bottles a day during the week and she's also taking Prevacid . Both of these are because of her horrible reflux. They seem to be helping quite a bit. She spends the weekdays with our wonderful babysitter here at home and they love each other! In March she'll start going to daycare. I am a little nervous ...

Freezer Cooking

Well, many of you know about my adventures in freezer cooking. Lots of people have asked how it works, how I do it, etc. So, I've decided to blog about it. I will include pictures, recipes, and a shopping list. After all that, you will be set to try it with a group of your friends! All of this ended up costing right around $92 per family. We did a $50 deposit up front, and then the remaining balance was split up and paid the day we cooked. This is enough for you and 4 friends to each go home with 17 meals in this day. First off, let me list the meals you will make: Easy Cheeseburger Casserole (each family will go home with 2 of these) Tex Mex Chicken and Rice (each family will go home with 4 of these) Baked Chicken Fajitas (each family will go home with 2 of these) BBQ Chicken (each family will go home with 2 of these) Chili (each family will go home with 2 of these) Chicken Casserole with Doritos (each family will go home with 2 ...
