So blessed

Has the reality that your life isn't that bad, ever bitch slapped you in the face? Well it just did it to me!

Let me start off by saying I don't think I live a bad life, infact I'm overly blessed and I realize it more and more! But you know sometimes your kids make you crazy or your husband and you have a fight or you had a bad day at work and it really gets you down! Well this afternoon I was watching Season 6 of "The secret life of the American teenager"( yes, and I love it so shush!) Well the last episode Adrian is pregnant with a baby girl and ends up having a still born. This is where the Bitch slap starts!

How many times have I been overly annoyed with my boys? How many times have I "joked" about shipping them off? How many times have our days not gone perfectly? The answer to all of the questions...too many times! 

Drew and I were extremely blessed to become pregnant quickly with both our boys,and have full term pregnancy(yet again another thing I would complain about because of being uncomfortable) while I saw friends and family try for months on end or they got pregnant and lost the baby. A pain and a feeling I will never understand because I haven't been there personally. 

I'm very emotional when it comes to my boys, they are my everything! I live and breath for them! Everything Drew and I do is for them! So why does it take seeing , even on tv, someone loosing a baby to make me realize this, make me hold them close to me, crying, praising God for them and there healthy bodies? I have no idea! I guess I often saw/see ourselves as invisible, as I'm sure many others do too, but there's one thing I've learned, sickness, death, anger, hate, they see everyone, no one is safe! I need to actually remember that though! I need to remember to hold them close and praise God for them EVERYDAY!!!

Today was a small reminder of how short life can be, how things don't always go the way they should. That even though some days the boys drive me up the wall, I am blessed! And I should never take advantage of that! And I'm hoping I can remind others of that too, hug your kids, your spouse, your grandparents, whoever it is hug them! Remind them no matter what you love them!

Pumpkin Patch

I've gone quite again! Finally got a new computer! I really love it, it works great runs well and has internet!!! I wasn't ever able to mail off Drews laptop to him as it broke again shortly after getting it :/ Luckily we have a wonderful friend helping us along this loooong road! The boys and I have been very busy with day to day life, really nothing to exciting you've missed out on! WELL, except that I FINALLY heard from my surgeon and I will be getting my reduction done the 30th of this month!!! I've been on cold nine since I found out( I cried upon reading the email saying I could call and book at my earliest convenience!), all the people who said they would help have stepped forward and are making great efforts to do what they can, so I can't even describe how BLESSED I am!!!! Counting down the days!

It's also that time of year!!! PUMPKIN EVERYTHING!!!!! I love all things pumpkin so I love this time of year! Today the boys and I went with our super awesome friends to the local pumpkin patch! Isaiah had been talking non stop about it since I told him we were going and even more so since he knew his bestest buddy Daniel would be coming with us! Isaiah and Daniel are two months apart in age and always have the best time together, it will be very hard to leave England because they have made such a great friendship and Zoe, his mum, and I are very close!!! This entry will be mostly pictures with captions, because well the play by play wouldn't make for good reading but I got some good shots and that will do!!!

Little G Money ready to hit the patch! Yes I made that hat! The pattern can be found here, from my wonderful Salena who was kind enough to let me pattern test this for her!!!

Aren't they just the cutest, sweetest boys ever?

From cute to this hahaha, boys will be boys!!!

He really couldn't keep his hands off the pumpkins!!!

Time to make some memories!

                                      

Me and my little loves!!!

 Our beautiful friends!!

Isn't that pumpkin hat the cutest?!

"ok Mommy can I pick a pumpkin now?"

Finding the best one!!

Daniel and Zoe found one!!!

Strong man!!

And no day is complete without a sword fight through the pumpkins!!

One last shot of the boys!

Let the sword fighting continue!!

We had a really great afternoon out! Isaiah loves being with Daniel and I love spending time with Zoe, so it was a win win!!! 

With a little over three weeks until my surgery I plan on doing as much as possible to make the time special for us as I will be away from them for a few days while in the hospital and then coming home I will be restricted as well, so extra love, snuggles and adventures need to happen now!!! Stay tuned to see what I decide!!!

Until next time....
