Buying a home

Image
I didn't think it was going to be hard looking for a house to buy. I honestly thought that I was going to find the one in just a short while. We have been looking for a house for about 3 weeks already. We have viewed 4 houses so far. We have three more that we need to see this weekend. I fell in love with a two story house  that had everything I wanted and it was so darn beautiful!!! Unfortunately, they didn't like our offer and so they countered too high, so we let it go.It was hard for me but I really don't want to have a high monthly payment. The list of things we want in our home are: safe neighborhood 3-4 rooms a garage laundry room a big back yard large kitchen dining room We have another viewing soon and I kind of am in love with the two story house we are going to see. I think the only thing I don't like is that it's a little old. This was the house I  was in love with but was a little too pricey. Off to the next one.....

Hi there!!! Nope have no totally abandoned my little blog. I miss it so much. I wish I could come back and write/type but honestly I don't have much time to do this. Yes, I could wake up at 5 in the morning and blog on the weekends. However, I wake up at that time everyday to get ready for work so for once I would like to wake up a little later even if it's 7 a.m.,(on the days Andrews actually lets me sleep in). I have to say I have been busy with the kids, my husband, house hunting(yep finally), work, staar prep. Gosh, I really hate the staar test. So it's really been stressful around here. I hope to get back into gears once we move into our new house...and Andrew gets a little bit older. Don't worry I'll come back. :)

ACL-Austin City Limits Festival

Image
Not sure If I mentioned if but Jaime and I are going to ACL! If you don't know what it is (like me, 2 months ago) it's just a huge festival with different bands. It's really not my kind of music but my husband has always wanted to go so I got these tickets as a surprise. I don't think he was expecting for me to say that I bought these tickets.It's going to be so much fun! We will be away from the kiddos for two-ish days and staying in Austin! I think Im more excited that I will be just with my husband acting like we are carefree! That's going to feel nice. Oh, and some exciting news, I was recommended for a 3rd grade teacher! I am so excited and cannot wait to sign my contract to get started! Google

3 months today!

My baby is 3 months old. Good god it's going fast, next month I will be able to give him some solids and I am really sad that that will be happening soon. He is a baby that is always smiling, he hardely ever cries unless he is hungry or wants attention. As of right now Andrew is weighing at about 13 pounds. I'm not exactly sure how much he is now. Last time we checked was 2 weeks ago. I'm more than sure that he has added some pounds. He has gotten a lot better at pulling himself up when he has tummy time. I think we need to spend a little more time on it though to really master it. He went to South Padre Island for the first time this month. We went to eat for some real sea food and we also went into a little store for bathing suits. Next month if everything goes to plan we will be going to schlitterbahn, and I'm sure he will love it, he seems to love the water. He is now on Size 2 of diapers. He is just such a big boy. I kind of already knew that he woul

This has been a great summer! I am honestly in denial that school will be starting soon. I am very very very not ready to send my baby to kindergarten. I just don't want her to go to school and be in a classroom filled with different personalities. I am scared that she not going to be able to stand up to for herself. I'm praying I get this job at a school so she can at least be close to me, and I won't have to worry so much. I have an interview on Thursday and I am seriously just looking up all the question that they may ask. I am trying to remember all the key words in education lingo. So that's pretty much what I have been doing this week. I want this job so bad that it has just surrounded my mind lately. I don't know how I am going to take it if I don't get it. Probably cry, yeah that's it, I'll probably cry. Megan has been having a great summer vacation, she has been going to the pool, San Antonio, and she has been going to parks. Meg

We've been having some good days around here. I love when I have good days with my husband. Lots of laughs and caressing, it's so nice. Life gets in the way a lot but when we finally have time to enjoy each others company it really is worth all of the things we go through on a daily bases. I am so excited I finally have these books. I finished the 2nd book about a year ago and I'm barely getting around to reading the last two. Lets just say it's getting even better. It's very mythically(is that a word?) and I am enjoying the book much more, I didn't think I would like those whole "mythical creatures" but it sure is well written. We have taken the first step in getting a house. Unfortunately, we are getting cold feet again. I think our feet will be warm again when I finally get my job. I still have yet to get a call from someone. I do have an interview though for a second grade teacher at a school, but it's not until August. So I am going

An order of a good nights rest, please?

Image
Look at this little cutie's face. You would never know he has been keeping his momma awake for most of the night. Honestly, I have not gotten a full nights rests. I'm considering giving him formula in the night time so that he is full for the rest of the night. However, this little man won't drink his whole bottle. I don't know if he is doing it on purpose;) or what, but Im not getting much of rest. So today we are going to do something different. I'm going to keep him awake from 3-8, maybe that will at least give me some time to sleep. Wish me luck for some sleep tonight.

A glimpse of our summer

Megan has been spending a good amount of time with my parents and they have been taking her places and of course buying her things. Megan and I went to the zoo while the boys stayed at home and caught up with sleep. We had fun at the zoo, and really enjoyed the Dinosaur adventures at the zoo. It was felt real, it was creepy. The sound effects were just crazy and since we were the only ones inside the dinosaur exhibit, it was pretty scary. Those things really looked like they were going to come alive at any moment. Megan also has gone to the pool a few times. I mean this girl is having some fun.  Some days we just stay at home and just hang out with these guys. These guys are definitely brother and sister thought. I do find some things the same and I think sometimes they may look alike. 4th of July was spent with my family. We played volley ball and popped some fireworks. It was so humid outside so I tried to leave Andrew with people who were insi

Big Brother 16

Image
Every summer the one thing I totally look forward to,other than the hot Texas sun, Is Big Brother. I never saw the show before I was married. Jaime was the one who introduced the show to me. Last year we said that we would get the live feeds next year. At first I was a bit hesitant about getting the live feeds this year but then I thought that we always say we are going to do something and then we flake out, so we changed it up. The live feeds have been our best friend. Jaime is a reality show kind of guy and I just like the drama to unfold in front of me when it come to this show. We are really enjoying ourselves with the live feeds. I have to say though that they really leave out a ton of stuff on the episodes.

Clothes:Andrew no longer fits into newborns and is now wearing three month clothes. I was really scared  because I only had newborn clothes and only a handful of only 3 month clothes,so I had to buy some clothes. Thankfully that week we went to an outlets store where I was able to buy him some clothes. He only cries when he is hungry, has a dirty diaper or he wants attention. He is a really good baby so far. Always smiling, loves kisses, I think he actually kind of likes being the center of attention. Im having some fun with this little guy, he is getting me into a routine and has made me realize I'm fine with just a few hours of sleep after all. Sometimes I want him to tell me that he loves me because I just don't know if he does. He looks like a happy baby. I hope he knows that I am his momma. He is able to watch me with his eyes. He will follow my face if I move it. Dad tried to give him the pacifier and Andrew rejected it, which I kind of knew that was going t
