Ainsley 2 & 3 Months

Poor girl, I am combining her 2nd and 3rd month together!  Guess that is what happens when you add another kiddo to the family.  And, I really don't have that much to write about her because she is SO good.  Seriously, I would have 5 more if they were just like her!

Ainsley "sissy bug",

You are such a sweet, sweet girl. Ahhh, my heart is so happy that we have you!  You are just a happy and content little girl, only crying when you are really tired and that happens from time to time because we don't have you on a good schedule yet- kinda hard when we have to keep your bothers entertained this summer!  You are smiling and I got 1 giggle out of you so far.  Your brothers love you so much and really are helpful with the exception of waking you up because they are kissing your feet or talking to you.  You are focusing only our toys more and I bet next month you will reach for them.  I wonder how different you will be from your brothers in the way you develop?  So far, tummy time is not your favorite but we will keep working on it- well on the days I remember! :)  Have I mentioned I am so happy to have you here?  And, I am kinda glad that I have someone to put bows on too!

Love,
Mama

1 month

I say this every post....I know I am behind......

And I guess that is how a lot of blogs go.  I had hopes that I would keep up with it and I did until we moved and then it just got put on the back burner.  But, I don't want to miss my monthly updates about Ainsley since she is growing like a weed and all to fast for this mama.  

3 kids is busy!  However, she is so good that the days go by and she doesn't make a peep.  It feels like I just did Gabe's updates and he is 2 1/2 now!

Dear Ainsley,

Our littlest baby at 8 lbs!  You are so sweet, such a good baby.  I feel so bad when people say that their babies cried and cried and you never make a noise unless you are really hungry or really tired and even then you aren't that loud!  I though that I would have 3 boys, really, really thought that and I was fine with that......BUT.... I think my heart knew I needed a girl.  I really love it, love your clothes, hair bows and just having someone who might like Barbies one day!  Your gonna have to be tough because your brothers are loud and full of energy.  Sam is SO proud to have a sister.  He says over and over how happy he is to have a sister.  And Gabe has really surprised me, I was for sure he was going to bonk you over the head with a toy, but he talks to you in a high pitched voice just for you and gives you kisses on your stomach.  I am so happy they love you so much!  The time has gone by so fast, too, too, too fast for me and I find myself so sad sometimes that you are changing and growing, but its a good thing too.  You are healthy and perfect and that is such a blessing.  Poor girl, you are going to be so tired of my camera since I began photography shortly after Gabe was born.  You are such a sweet girl.  We love you lots!

A new arrival

So, I am WAY behind on blogging, and I hope to get back to it eventually.  Not that I have been busy or anything lately anyway. :)  Our newest addition is here.  We are so in love and adjusting just fine to now being a family of 5.  She doesn't walk or get into anything so check back in a few months to see if I feel differently!

I have however been feeling so sentimental because she is probably going to be our last baby and that makes me sad.  I love the newborn stage, how fresh and new they are, but after my hospital complications, I don't think I want to feel that way again. Ugh!  I tried to upload my little video to Facebook, but they said there was a copyright issue- probably with the song or my pictures, so the best is to blog it.  I might just cry each time I watch it.  Sniff. Sniff.

November??!!!??

I haven't given up blogging, I just have been a little busy with some things…...

Yep, baby Wilson #3 is due in May!  We were a little surprised by it, but what a blessing and what a shocker to get preggo this time not stressing about it.  Amazing really.  But this stinker has taken away a few months of my sanity.  I don't know how people do this and work, or deal with other life things.  I have felt so bad and with it has come lots of anxiety.  Moving and then finding this out made me realize that change is hard for me.  I usually go with the flow about stuff and while both have been GOOD things, together it was a big change!  Anyway, I survived the first 15 weeks and have felt better this last week and even go energy back to do things like bathe the kids! Sad, but true.  Sam is over the moon excited and I am just hoping Gabe doesn't bonk the baby on the head with his Thomas the Train.  I have lots of updates to do and a few pictures, but not sure that is going to be up anytime soon.  Fall kinda escaped us, we did the minimal.  I even forgot my memory card when I finally got myself to the little pumpkin' patch.  Yeah, its been a season like that.  I am so thankful for my husband bc he has been doing everything and listening to me whine and complain about everything.  Don't know what I did to deserve him sometimes, and let me tell you, I was not a looker these past few months either! :)  Here's to a better November and December.  I have the Christmas music on and cinnamon Scentsy burning- I am ready for the holidays!

Big guy playing soccer- he loved it and scored 7 goals in one game!

My little Halloween guys- we got away with going to 4 houses and eating corn dogs at Sonic!

end of summer update..s....

Blogging has been on the back burner lately, can you tell?  So much to update!  But, I will spare the pics, but I have NOT been doing a good job of that either!

On Aug. 12 we moved!  It was a stressful day, I mean I think I have mentioned that we have SO much crap, and it all had to come here.  I tried to get rid of stuff before hand, and as much as it was a pain- a good chunk of stuff that was in storage was mildew so I had to go through each box and chuck stuff, or yard sale, or wash it and organize it.   Most things are put away, it just drive me nuts that we can't paint for a while and everything is so white and plain.

I will be honest that I am so thankful for this new pretty house, but moving has been an adjustment for me.  Did I mention I don't like change?  Like, really.  No thanks to change.  I know over time I will get used to it, but I kinda miss our old house and old routine and old sites.  Its not like we moved across the country, but it feels weird.  And I know I am being a baby about it, and it sounds so silly right now, but I just long for when this feels like our home that I feel comfortable living in.  Right now, it feels like we are playing house or something.  Eventually I will get pictures up of it though! :)

The boys adjusted fine.  Sleeping went great, new rooms and all are exciting to them.  I think they like the country life!  Sam started his new school and loved it, I was the one who needed to get used to it, loving his old one was hard to make the move to a new one.  But he is happy and excited so I will be too!  

We went on our last September vacation, boy am I gonna miss those!  So quiet, nice weather, no big crowds!  Pics for that I might get done soon!

That's about it, pretty exciting right!? :)

4 & 18 months

This is a little overdue and mostly because I was putting off taking "real" pictures of my kids- I take pictures of them almost daily around the house but I wanted to take their 4 year old and 18 month (which is more like almost 20 months) pictures like I would any family that hires me for a session.

So, we were headed to take my friends kiddos pictures so I got their early for a few of my own.

They did not listen.  Really, I took about 10 minutes of pictures before Gabe was done.  And then in 15 minutes, Sam was done.  Lets see..... there was running away, wiping noses on shirt (new white ones at that), crying, yeah.....

But, I did get a few that I would consider framing, which is always my goal.  Love those boys as stubborn as they can be.

                          

house {update 10}

Its wrapping up...the house construction that is!  Floors, carpet and all those fun things are in!  It really looks almost ready now and I am getting exited, a little stressed, and a little sad to leave our home.  We are scheduled for a walk through on Friday Aug. 2 and then we move on the 12th!  My yellow front door is still coming and the bookshelves, but aside from that I think it is all done.  The boys are excited, Sam likes to see the progress and I hope they have an easy time moving somewhere new.

Kitchen is done, we just need to move our new fridge.

Front trees are down, we are really excited about the land in the back- lots of running room for the dogs and kids.

Sam was excited to see his plastic covered carpet!
