Stuff

It's been a while since I've really blogged about what's been going on in our life. I kinda feel like we're boring right now. And maybe it's because I'm a little down, and I hate telling people that I'm down, or feeling bad. There are some people that I really just can't keep up with. I've become lazy.

I'm kind of in a funk. I have gained so much weight. Everyday I tell myself that this is the day I'm going to do something about it, and then I wake up the next day, and it's the same! I've been doing this for months now. No matter how serious I think I am, I just can't make myself do anything.

My house is a mess. I still have boxes I haven't opened since we moved here 10 months ago. And a lot of clutter that I wish was gone!!!

Chris and I have decided to get rid of our baby stuff. I guess we're giving up the dream of having another baby. We've been paying insurance premiums for a year and a half now....waisted money. I am torn about this decision! I would love to have another child in our family. Or do I just love the idea? Pregnancy is NOT nice to me. And truthfully, I've feel that I've been given many signs that we're done. But then why can't I accept that answer. I know I need to, but I don't want to. And it seems like I have so many friends that are pregnant right now, and that stinks for me. My girls will only have 1 sibling. I have 4 and Chris has 9. Our family picture is small. But seriously here..... I know that HF knows me better than I know myself, and maybe 2 is all that I can handle :) I just wish Chris and I had come up with that number ourselves, and then I wouldn't feel like there was just one, that we're leaving behind. It's tough! Who knows...maybe there isn't anyone we're leaving behind. I just wish I knew that for sure. Now just watch......maybe in a year or 2 after all of the baby stuff is gone, things will change and we'll have to start all over. But don't hold your breath! I'm definitely not.

Anyway, lets get on with the happier things in life shall we :) Yesterday Bree got to take Grandma to school for Grandparents and Goodies day. I was totally going to take a picture, but we ended up being about 5 minutes late, and well, I totally forgot. Bummer!! But Bree had the best day ever! She was so hyper, and excited all day. She had been counting down the days since she found out about it. She LOVES school, and she LOVES grandma!!

We bought the movie Tangled, the day it came out. We saw it in the theatre, and couldn't wait to get it. And we've already watched it 4 times in 2 days! Crazy. But it's so cute, that I get sucked in every time too!

Then we spent most of the week and weekend last week painting Elle's room. We put down the crib, and now she's in the toddler bed. We put up cute curtains, and hung a picture. I really love how it turned out. I do want to paint the dresser, but it hasn't been warm enough to take it outside to paint it. So I'm waiting on that. But Elle loves her new room. And so do I! It's amazing how new a fresh coat of paint can make everything look.

We've put up a new shelf in the kitchen. It has hooks, so the girls can come in and hang their backpacks and coats. And I just can't wait until it's warm enough to work in the yard. There are a few projects we'd like to tackle out there! So, I'm excited for Spring and Summer, if they'd ever get here already!!

I sure hope I can get my act together!! And that's all I'm going to say about that! :)

Here are a few pics I've taken recently... My cute Elle, playing in her new room. And then some pics of her room.

I think life is good, and hard, all at the same time :)

What a little cutie! And the room looks great.

Sorry to hear you've been having a tough time of it. It's hard to let go of our dreams and plans and expectations. And I think it should be, because it shows us where our heart is. If it were too easy, we wouldn't appreciate what we have and what we've accomplished.

Best of luck with everything. You really have a beautiful little family. :)

Now that is one clean cute room. We need to hang out. It has been WAY too long since we have played. My kids are finally better, so we are germ free and ready to play.

Life is CRAZY. Everyone has ups and downs. That is just the way it is. The beautiful spring weather will help for sure!

You are wonderful!

I love your honesty here, Brighton. I can 100% understand the whole baby thing. I am having a very hard time with it as well-SO hard to move on.

I'm in the same boat with the weight thing, too. Went to WW and then quit going after month. When you get out of habit, it is SOOOO hard to get back into it!!! We should be long distance buddies for working out, etc.


But....in the end you have 2 gorgeous girls and they are LUCKY to have you Chris. And I don't think you give yourself enough credit-I could never make such a cute kids room-you are so talented with decorating your house. It is all relative-to me your house is immaculate. Now, my house-that is another story. It is a disaster right now. But it will end soon!!

I agree with Adelle-you're wonderful!!

Hey Sis....chin up. I'm calling you today to go to lunch. Costa Vida?

When we talked on the phone earlier this week I remember our discussion about this. I'm in that 'funk' with you too, maybe we can pull each other out. We all have such hard lives. But good lives too. Only think about the positives...beautiful family, health little girls, great hubby, nice job, beautiful house, your talents, the gospel, etc.

I have to remind myself every day of the saying, 'HE never said it would be easy, only worth it.'

Chin up, charge the mountain!
