New House

This is an awful blurry picture, I will take another when I get two seconds...
I can finally write on here about finally finding a house! After 2 houses falling through, we finally got one, and will be moving in asap! I love this house, it is a 6 bedroom, 2700 square feet, huge backyard, and a very nice quiet neighborhood. So I will be busy over the next month unpacking, decorating, etc. I will post pictures as I go!

Natalie loves Santa!

Who would have thought that this guy would have such a place in Natalies heart! I thought for sure she wouldn't go anywhere near him! I was wrong, she not only sat on his lap, but snuggled with him, and even got tangled up in his beard!

Colin's Catastrophe

Colin had luck on his side last Tuesday night. Like a curious boy he didn't listen to his daddy when he told him to stay away from the moving trailer. He somehow got the pins out of the back ramp that folds up, and it came crashing down on him. Luckily, I was walking out into the garage right when this happened, and saw him pinned under the ramp, bent completely in half backwards. His legs were bent back under his shoulders, and his face caught the metal grates of the ramp. I lifted it up off of him, and he rolled over onto his side and started screaming that he hurt his back. I've never seen anyone bent that way before, and was worried he broke it by the way he was pinned under there. I didn't know how to keep him from not moving, because he was shaking and screaming. So long story short, we took him to the Urgent Care who then sent him to Banner Desert, where he got x-rays, that all turned out negative. By the time he left the hospital he was walking again, but with a limp. They said he probably pulled some muscles. I am just grateful that it turned out how it did, he missed a metal slat sticking out by an inch that could have went right through his head. He got a good bruise on his face from the grates, but thats it. I think he realizes that it is important to listen now.

Natalie's 3rd Birthday

Natalie had herself a fabulous princess party for her 3rd birthday. She got spoiled rotten with all the gifts, and had a lot of fun with our family that came over even though our house was half empty from getting ready to move. She is way into anything that is princess related. I think everything she got was mostly princess stuff! Dave and I got her a baby(she is a mother of 12 now)that came with a highchair, and a playpen, and a stroller. She has been a busy girl since her party with plenty to play with, and her Nana bought her a huge golden princess dress that she wears dang near every day. So cute. I love having a girl, and am so happy I get to experience what it's like to have a daughter. For awhile there I thought it was all frogs and trucks for me, so I will take the random haircutting, getting into my make up, and dragging her to the store with her huge princess dress on that she refuses to take off. So Happy Birthday to my Nattie girl!

Thanksgiving Day

On Thanksgiving, we got up and went to breakfast at Denny's with Kaitlyn since we only had her there with us for that morning. After we dropped her off with her mom, We then went over to my Aunt Roxanne's house in Queen Creek to have a tasty Thanksgiving "lunch", Then we then went over to Dave's moms house to eat a delicious Thanksgiving "dinner". Needless to say, we ate entirely way too much that day. I did snap a couple pictures at Roxannes house, and then got tired of my camera after that and didn't touch it for the rest of the day.

This is my Aunt Roxanne, she did an awesome job hosting Thanksgiving!


We gave my aunt her dog back, we are bad dog owners, so she deserved better. Colin is a big dog lover, so he was in heaven over at her house visiting his Shelby. I love this picture. They might as well have been 20 feet in the air bouncing through the clouds!

Look Who's A Big Girl!

Miss. Nattie Noodle is mastering her toilet skills. I admit, I procrastinated this lil milestone. She turns 3 tomorrow, and most girls I know are trained before that. She's been ready for awhile now, and the other night when she was yelling at me in the car that she had to go to the bathroom, I took the hint. She is doing great. She has only had two accidents in two days, so that makes me happy. Someday she is going to smack me for putting these on here, but she is so dang cute, I can't help it!
Oh, and one last thing...This house is officially BABY FREE! No diapers, no bottles, no binkies, no cribs, no sippy cups..thats right folks. I am a free woman! Well...not quite yet, but we are definately getting there.
