Again, Poor Little Delilah.

Thanksgiving afternoon I noticed a big lump on Delilah's ear. I'd never noticed it before and it seemed to come out of no where. The first thing I thought was tumor. Boxers are known for tumors, my sisters boxer had a couple tumors removed a couple months ago. It has nothing to do with her color. So, I decided just to watch what it would do. The first day i noticed a little tiny bit of discharge. So, I was hoping it was a cyst. The next day when she woke up it was oozing blood and yellow-ish discharge. It is a little swollen still, but everyday the swelling goes down. Thank goodness! I sure do worry about this little dog!

Our New House

We have a laminate walkway around the entire living room, so just the "living space" will be carpeted. Most of the house is laminate...
Jonathon's room. Danny pulled some carpet out of a house that was in decent condition that they were going to throw away, so we took it. The dining room looking into the kitchen. See the ceilings? That was Danny's makeshift way to run electrical through the ceiling. They had all of the lights plugged into the walls, which would'nt do... I convinced him that he should stain the baseboards trim and planks on the ceiling, because it would look cool. Wasn't I right?

This was the cabinets before satin. I dont have any before, before pics because Danny tore it all out before I got any pics.Dining room before

Our master bedroom before. (dont have any after pics yet.)

The living room before Cam's room before. It now has windows!

That was the future site for Jonathon's room. It is now, his room :) The whole kitchen, before stain.....

As you can see, it's a work in progress. We got the laminate super cheep! We got three pallets and a minnie fridge for only $300.00! Yes, all of the flooring is different, there were few boxes of who knows how many styles of laminate, so danny has gotten creative. Most of the laminate has already been put down. He just needs to finish the hallway. I got to say, it looks AMAZING! I dont have pics of all of it done yet, but when everything is all done and pretty I'll post pics. We still need to put the carpet down in Cam's room, master, and living room. Cam's room also needs to be finished painting and a small clost put in, which can wait until we are in. Alex's room wont be finished until after we move it. It's the trailer part and needs to be sheetrocked. So. him and Jonathon will be sharing for a little while. We need to do something with the kitchen walls. For now, we're putting laminate flooring up, just until we can afford to do what we want to do. I'm getting so excited to move in! I really cant wait until it's ready! It seems that every week it gets pushed back.. We were going to be moving throught Thanksgiving, but thankfully, that didn't happen. Then it was this weekend, but Danny isn't too sure. We have to go soon! I HAVE TO be able to decorate for Christmas! IT IS SO IMPORTANT!!! LOL! I'll post pics when we're all moved in :)

Puppies Are All Gone!

Hankie (he now belongs to my sister & brother-in-law and his name is Kemo)
Pretty little Belle. She belongs to my brother-in-law & sister-in-law. Baldie. Belongs to my brother-in-law's friend

Jackie- belong's to some guy from Vegas (he seemed very nice.)Tankers belongs to a single mom and little girl in Vegas




All of our little doggies are gone! Do I miss them? Yes and no. They were all so cute and so much fun, but I HATED cleaning up their messes. Oh, and the chewing.... Not my favorite thing.

Belle was the last little doggie to go. She left Thanskgiving, and I totally thought Delilah would be sad and depressed, but she's not! She's been doing so good with the house training! When Belle was here, they'd be naughty and pottie in the house. Now that Belle is gone Delilah has done great! I think they were just stinkers together. They were like any sibling would be, always trying to get eachother into trouble.

Thanksgiving

Sorry, I have NO pictures.... I'm so bad! This year we went over to my in-laws, like we usually do. This year Danny volunteered me to make rolls. I've made rolls before, but it's been years. There are just so many steps, and they take so long, that I usually just buy the rolls in a can. So, I practiced making rolls the whole week before. I made four batches leading up to the Thanksgiving rolls. Hopefully everybody enjoyed them?...... After dinner, we came home, I got the kids ready for bed, Danny went back to work on the house and I watched "Friends" on Nick At Nite waiting to go black friday shopping, which didnt happen! I'm so dissappointed in Mesquite Walmart... That's all I've gotta say about that! I then went to bed while still watching "Friends" marathon on Nick At Nite. Even though I didnt get to go shopping, it was a good day!

Uh Oh, She's Got Baby On The Brain!!!!

So, my baby Jonathon just turned seven months old on the 11th and I'm getting SO baby hungry! It doesn't help that he is the perfect baby. Even as a new born... How he got here was a pretty scary ordeal, but he was born completly healthy and has been since. He has NEVER been colicy. Even now that he's teething, he can get fussy, but he just has a very happy personality. He was the best "mistake" ever, lol! Alex and Cam were super colicy, so I wasn't planning on having another baby for a very long time, if at all... They're all such little mirracles! I love all of my kids so much! The thought of anything happening to them sends me into panic mode... Anyway, back to baby! So, I've had baby on the mind like crazy lately and am seriously starting to REALLY question my sanity lol (like I wasn't before..). You can never get the first year of your baby's life back, so why in the world would I want to rush into another baby? I do have reasons....

Reason #1- I'm getting old! Since my 28!! birthday is in three weeks, in just two more years i'll be 30! YIKES!

#2- I know ALOT of prego people right now, and it's CONTAGIOUS!

#3-I love the feeling of a baby moving around in my belly (that's the ONLY thing I love about pregnancy.)

#4- I want a little girl, dangit!

#5- growing up I always wanted a big-ish family (even though now adays four kids is considered big.)

#6- I've just had a feeling that I have another baby waiting for me. I've had this feeling since I was pregnant with Jonathon. (I'm really hoping that this so-said baby is a girl, though.)

Reasons to wait......

#1- I kind of have the feeling of "robbing" jonathon of his first year.

#2- We are DIRT poor!

#3- Cam is not pottie trained yet.

#4- Alex does NOT wake up in the night to go pottie (he wets the bed), so I force him to wear a diaper to bed still. That would be very expensive! (even though I only need to buy diapers for Alex every six months or so)

#5- Newborns kind of scare me! I love the cuddles and most things, but I hardly sleep due to the fear of my baby not waking up! I have to make sure they're breathing every hour!

#6- I'm pretty sure Danny does not have the urge to have another baby yet, which is completly understandable.

#7- I would be completly overwhelmed, even though Alex does start school next Fall.

#8- I had to cancel our health insurrance due to us being DIRT poor..

I guess we'll all just have to wait and see what will happen. I dont even know yet :)

We Are FINALLY Going To Be Saying Goodbye To Our House!

The Kitchen



Yes, WE ARE FINALLY MOVING! The last two year have kind of been a little bit of an emotional rollercoaster for me as far as our house goes. First we were moving to GA, then we were staying, then we were moving, then we were staying, then we finally made the decision to just give up on the bank because there was no way they were going to help us. We cant afford our mortgage at all! It is a little over $1,800.00. Four years ago we could afford it, two years ago, we couldn't at all, sadly. We've talked to so many people, and have been "evaluated" so many times for a loan mod, but since Danny is self employed and had/has no work, the bank was righfully weary to give us the mod. I can completly understand why, but it still sucks! So, we got another notice of trustee's sale on the door yesterday (we have'nt gotten one in a year) and just decided to head out before we're forced out. I'll miss alot about "our first home" like my fireplace, high ceilings to put my big A#$ Christmas tree up, our view...(we have the best view in the valley right from our windows!). Oh, and the lack of really close neighbors. I love not having people live really close to us. I'm excited for our new house, though. It will be a fun new experience! We've decided to head out before the "sale" date, which is the 28th of this month. I dont think this place will sale anytime soon, but we'd rather not have to hastle with being evicted. So, here's to new beginnings, lol! I'm already starting to feel the stress!

Alex, Cameron, and Jonathon

Alex and Cameron are getting so big and smart! Alex LOVES his music class and looks forward to it every week! He is learning how to listen to and understand music. I love that he has something to look forward to each week. It makes him so happy! Cam is loving learning Alex's music stuff also! He sits with Alex when we do his homework, and i'm teaching them both their letters and numbers. Cam is learning his colors as well. Alex already knows all of his colors! These two little boys can both keep me sane and drive me insane! I love all three of these little guys so much! I really cant remember life before them! It really feels like they've always been here, which makes me feel good that i've loved being a mom so much! Being a parent is the hardest, most fullfilling job you can ever have! You can either raise your kids to be outstanding people, or not so outstanding.... Hopefully I dont screw this up, lol!
This sweet, sweet, little boy! He is just under seven months old (will be on the 11th). I'm so thankful for all three of my little boys! I'm also so very greatful that this little booger got here safely! C-sections are definatly not ideal, but i'd do 20 times over to get such a sweet little guy! Jonathon is now rolling all over the place! He just decided a week ago that he wanted to. He's a ways off from crawling, which is a-okay with me! I just want him to stay sweet and little forever! He's working on two little teeth. I can see them just under the surface of his gums! Even though he's chewing on everything, his mouth hurts, and has a cold, he's still unusually happy!
