We're on the Move

So its official we are moving up to Grand Forks. We starting to pack things up tomorrow and hopefully have everything up there sometime this weekend. I'm feeling rushed, but hoping everything will work out good. I will miss the home I live in now. I know its time to move out since we have grown out of it, but the most thing I'm going to miss is the memories. We have brought Tristen & Brooklynn home from the hospital, Tristen has had Alot of firsts in this home, like walk, talk, we came back to this home after we're married, planned our wedding in this home. There is so many memories, I'm surely going to miss. I think it will be hard at first and time to adjust to that, but I'm hoping to accept it. I don't take to change very quickly and easily at first. I'm looking on the bright side of things and telling myself everything will be ok.

L-O-V-E

All of us together

Brooklynn turned 3 months yesturday and got her pictures taken as well. They did turn out pretty cute, but wasn't very satisfied with the person taking her pictures. She just didn't seem to know what she was doing or had any ideas which was frustrating. She kept asking me what I want and how to position her. I might as well have taken the pictures myself. It was getting too long and at the end little missy was getting upset, but she was also hungry. I wanted to go do some more shopping since it was just us girls, but she wasn't having it, so I had to cut it short. Tristen spent the night at his grandparents house last night. She was pretty happy to go see she grandma and papa. He is so spoiled rotten over there its unreal!

October 13 is coming up fast and we are off to Minneapolis. I'm a little nervous of driving down there. I'm wondering how Brooklynn will take the long car ride as she has never been that far before. So this will be a learning experience. I'm nervous about the car ride throu the city with two kids. I'm hoping that they will remain calm and quiet. Tristen usually is, but I could set myself up for his screaming. But who knows he is a good car rider in general which is a blessing! Brooklynn is good as well, when she has eaten!

So this week I found out that Brooklynn & Tristen don't have MA anymore. We apparently make too much money. I make not even a dollar more from my old job which put us over. Brooklynn doesn't have insurance, so thankfully Ashton went to his work to see his she could be added. She wasn't added before.. which ends up being a long story and my fingers will hurt after typing that all out so I'll spare not explaining that part. All in all.. in the end hopefully it will work out that she will be added by next week. This is soo frustrating and I'm hoping things will calm down soon. I need to make some calls this week for as I have a ton of questions. --- Ahhh...

Good News.. We maybe moving up to Grand Forks by the end of the month. I'm not too excited about the house plan, but whatever works. The good part about it I get to keep my dog, but Ashton on the other hand isn't too thrilled. I do feel bad for her as she doesn't get much running as she needs. We need a place with a fence and this isn't fair to her, but I can't imagin seeing her with someone else. ANYways...

Life is good at this moment and busy as heck!

Updating........

TIME for an Update!!

Brooklynn can roll over now.. from tummy to back.. which is awesome!! We're so proud of her! She did this last week! Oh my goodness is she getting so big.. the time is going by way to fast for me. Can't believe next week she will be 3 months old. Today she turned 12 weeks.. Awwww!!!

Tristen.. well he's getting bigger and talking alot more. He is our little stinker, thats for sure.

They both love daycare from my stand point. I really like their daycare provider so that helps. They are in a happy mood when I pick them up so I know that they at least enjoy it so what.

Brooklynn had a scare yesturday when I saw purple spots on her leg. Their daycare provider noticed it and then I ended up calling the nurse and she mentioned she needs to be brought in right away. There could be a million different reasons for these spots. At first they thought it could be mengitious.. but it isn't. The doctor can't really explain very well upon it but she isn't worried and too concerned over it. She think it could be either a bug bite, something was too tight on her leg and caused some litttle blood vessels to break. She didn't really say, but said not to worry. I just need to watch it. If its not gone by monday I need to call her or if it spreads more then where it is. So for now.. Not to worry.. What a day yesturday was.. holy moly!! All I could think is.. not more medical worries!!!

October 13th is coming up and we are off to Minneapolis for Tristen's doctor appt. I'm not really sure why we are going down there because he just had his rountine check up, up in Fargo. What ever reason, I'm sure Dr. Hutcheson nows. We just do what he says when it comes to our child's health.

My job is going great. Its keeping me busy thats for sure. I really do enjoy it very much so far. Its hard waking up early everyday, I'm not use to it. Yes I know I was spoiled with my other job.. but can I say! At least this is a consist job which hours and a monday thru friday. --- I am officially done with Easter Seals as of the 21st of this month. It was hard to see that go, but glad to at the same time. Time to move on..

Well that enough of my updates......................

A Good Start

I started my new job on Monday and so far so good. It's only been three days and I'm already loving it. If this keeps up I'll be in my glory with another great job! I'll be officially done with Easter Seals on the 21st of this month. Its sad to see that job go, but its time to move on! I'm glad everything is going how I planned! My job entails that I bounce from classroom to classroom helping the students get their work done that they need or whatever the teacher needs me to do. I like it because it makes my day go super fast and I don't have to think like oh my gosh is this day ever end. I'm sure I'll have those kind someday but not at this moment. I work with really nice teachers and all my co-workers are awesome! Its great so far.

Tristen & Brooklynn started their first daycare by themselves in Grand Forks yesturday. They did awesome from the report of the sitter. Yesturday Tristen was quiet which is understandable since it was his first day. He held on to my leg and won't want me to leave, which happened today as well. But he did fine on crying! I got teary eyed when I got into my car and drove off. I ended up calling my mom to relax. Of course my daughter didn't even know I left.. maybe thats a good thing. Today Tristen got a time out, which didn't surprise me when she told me. He is discovering his boundaries of what he can get away with and not. He'll get use to it after awhile. He is already fitting in and being a stinker and its his second day. So far so good. I'm very pleased with the babysitter I chose! Its so far a good start!!!!!

Nothing really

So Tristen & Brooklynn have a daycare all set up. Ashton met her and thought she was nice. They wont start there until the 16th, which is around the corner. I'm getting nervous about it, but they will be fine as I'm telling myself this.

I start my new job next Monday on the 15th, which means daddy gets to take care of the babies all by himself for more then a few hours. This should be interesting! I need to get another hair cut, new nice clothes for work. I have a short time span, and barely any money. Story of my life.

Nothing really to report.. just updating!

My Day...

Today Brooklynn turned 2 months old. Can't believe she is already this old, I feel as though I just had her. She still so tiny. She had her doctor's appt today and everything went great. She's healthy as a horse! She now weighs 10 pound give or take some ounces and 21 inches give or take a couple centimeters. She is doing great. She was going to have an ultrasound done today, but they couldn't fit her in so we have the appt on friday. Dr.Miller wants to check her kidneys out to see if everything is doing great. This is a better safe then sorry check up. Since Tristen was born with one kidney he just want to make sure everything is healthy with Brooklynn. He has no worries, so I try not to be.

Today we visited with a at home daycare which went very well. Tristen made himself at home and played outside with the kids. It went alot smoother then I thought it was going to be. I was actually looking at the worst and it came out to be good. I would diffently take my children there. Tomorrow we are going to visit another at home daycare which is just a little cheaper then the one we visited today. So we'll see how this one goes. I'm going by how she interacts with me, my comfort level and how Tristen interacts at the home. Today he seemed to have fun, so I'm curious on tomorrows visit. I have a very short time to find a daycare since I'll be starting my new job on the 15th but the kids wouldn't go to daycare until the 16th. And I'm not looking forward to that day, since it will be my first day without them and leaving them with a perfect stranger. I told the daycare provider that first day will be hard for me. I'm hope for the best and hope to come on top!

I officially told my boss that I have to quit my job. She knew it was coming, just didnt know when. I have to write up an official letter so she can put that in my file. Its a bitter sweet deal. I'm glad to see the job go but sad at the same time, because I feel I wont see my kids anymore. But its time to move on, and they all understand.
