My Mad.

We're back from Key West and I am in the recovery process before I blog about it... so in the mean time, I need to blog about something we came home to.

In just 2 short months my little baby girl will be 4, and it is showing all over!! Nat and I have both noticed since we've been home how much more mature she is from when we left. Oh my soul, she's like a little breath of fresh air in our everyday-3 kids fussing-refereeing all day- lives. There are still moments she has with her siblings, but she is obeying so well, and just being so dang sweet!! Oh I just love it..... and lets not talk about the fact that I DID just mention she is about to be 4. 

So bittersweet!!! I'm excited to see this little girl bloom into such a prefect little being... but at the same time, 4?!?! How did this happen?? She is thrilled beyond pieces to have a birthday and not a day goes by that she doesn't ask "is it my birthday yet??" Ya, I should not have told her that it was coming up... ;)... and today I made another mistake of asking her what kind of party we should do this year. She (of course) said PRINCESS and went to go get all dressed up in her Princess dress and shoes and told me this was her birthday dress. 

She is funny. 

Loves her life.

Loves to dress up, 

loves to be frilly, pink

and is THE Princess of the house

I love her to pieces and can't imagine my life without my prissy little girl!!!

Random update take 13

Howdy world!!

Well first of all... to add to my previous post, I hit the 20 lb mark and I am soooooooo excited!!! I set a goal and hit it!! I am loving feeling so much better about myself and waking up feeling good instead of like I gained 20 lbs that night. THATs probably my favorite part of this, is waking up feeling AWESOME and not heavy, bloated and fat. 

...and dare I say Im in love with our new van?!? How did I ever have children without the wonderfulness of a van. 

Well, ya, I'm hooked.

My contacts didn't work out, and I am on my second trial pair, and so far they're working so much better than the first pair... and I'm so grateful.

Nat and I are heading to San Angelo on Saturday... where we will drop off our offspring and on Monday, get on an airplane (don't ask me how I feel about getting on an airplane and leaving my babies... just don't

ask.) and fly to Dallas then fly to Miami, Fl. then fly to Key West, Fl. 

Eeeek... I am slightly excited. 

It is a trip for work... and Nat will be in meetings a couple of the days... but this mama will be free and on a beach for a few days.

Pray for my soul. I survived last year, leaving them for even longer to go on a cruise.... I still can't decided whats worse, leaving my babies to go on a boat, to another country... or leaving them to go on an airplane.....

and by this, yes, I do mean which one would I be more likely to die on. 

Yes, I think the absolute worst about any situation in life... its a gift. ;)

Prayers appreciated!!!

We headed to Angelo this past weekend for a family reunion. I've been a naughty mom with taking pics. So Not much for ya.... Sorry.

we've been really obsessed with bike riding lately.. so much so that we finally got Payton a big girl bike!! She finally mastered sissy's bike and now they're quite the bike riding duo. I love it!!

and lastly, on a more serious note, not to go into great detail, I'm having a polyp removed from my uterus in June... so also asking for prayers for that endeavor!!! 

Oh, and P.S. This is officially my 400th post!

Just thought you'd wanna know.
