Will It Ever End?!!

This remodel is taking a lot longer than I've wanted it to!! We were trying to have it all done by March 6th, which is Peyton's birthday party. We wanted to have the party at our house so we could show off all the hard work we did. BUT.... Home Depot didn't tell us that it takes FOREVER for them to order in carpet, so it wouldn't arrive until mid March!!! We decided to go somewhere else for carpet, since we were put behind schedule. Which in a way was a good thing because we found better quality carpet and it was a much better deal!!! We have now set the finish date for the first week in April. I really hope we can make it! It seems like we have been working in a construction zone forever! The fireplace has taken us a little longer than I have wanted, but hopefully we can have it wired and vented in the next couple of days. I promise I will post pictures. I want to wait until we're all done and then I'll do a before and after post! Keep your fingers crossed, cause I've got everything I can cross, crossed!

Our Remodel

We've decided that we need a change to our house. Well I decided we needed a change:) We are planning on taking down walls, putting up new walls, tearing out carpet and tile, installing new carpet, laminate floors and a fireplace!! And the best part is that we are doing it all by ourselves!!!! I know you all think we're crazy but I'm way excited! we've already started and I hope we're done by May, or sooner! I have been taking pictures so you all can see the process from the before to the after!!

Don't worry, We're still here!!!

Hello everyone! I know you're all amazed that I'm blogging!!!! It's been a while and I'm sorry for that! Things have been pretty crazy these last few months. Just to catch you up on what has been happening we've attended three funerals this year! Scott's grandma passed mid June, and then my uncle Ed passed away from cancer the end of July, and then most recently in November my brother's 15 month old neice passed. It has been a very hard year. There have been a lot of tears and there's not a day that goes by where I don't think of the wonderful and amazing people we've lost. It makes me so grateful for the knowledge that families are forever and I will one day see them again. They will be greatly missed! On a happier note, Ruth my sister-in-law is pregnant with her third baby and is due in June!!(I'm crossing my fingers for a girl!!) Peyton is doing great! He started crawling at 6 1/2 months old and he loves being able to move! He's into everything! Especially the cat food! GROSS!! I'm so excited for this Christmas and being able to shop for Peyton, and Scott. I can't wait to see Peyton open his presents!! I love you all and hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!! (I promise to do better and posting!)

What's Next?

So we had a pretty scary experience over the memorial day weekend. On thursday Scott was hospitalized with a blood clot in his lung. The week before he was having a hard time breathing, and had really bad chest pain. I told him he needed to go to the doctor but he said it was just a pulled muscle from working on his lawns with his brother. I kept telling him that he needed to go to the doctor, but he kept saying he was fine, so I dropped the subject. When Scott's mom found out she took it upon herself to call Scott's surgeon who called us and told us Scott needed to get to the ER. We tried to find a way of getting out of going to the ER but the surgeons office kept calling us. So we packed up and went to the ER, and low and behold, a blood clot! Scott was in the hospital from thursday to saturday, and put on major blood thinners. I had to give him shots in his stomach for five days, twice a day, and he will have to be on blood thinners for six to nine months. I'm so grateful that we went to the Hospital, because if we hadn't Scott could have died and I don't know what I would do without him. He's my best friend and I need him in my life. I love him so much and I'm so grateful that he's okay. We just hope that we don't have to go through that ever again. Thank you to all of those who kept us in your prayers they were truely appreciated. We love you all.

Sleeping Troubles

Okay moms out there, I need some help! I've been using a boppy for Peyton to sleep in. He has now outgrown the boppy, and I need to find a new way for him to sleep. But every position I put him in he wakes up. He is also waking up every 45 minutes between 3 and 6 in the morning even though he has a full stomach. I've read everything I could get my hands on and haven't had any luck. If you have any suggestions that could help I would truly appreciate it! Please Help!!!
