Life update

I love adding pictures on the blog but I think I'm suppose to type on it too!ha

We have been super busy and working hard to get a move going for us. I think I will be all moved out since this is the second move in over a year....with the first one being an international move.

Rob has a job and we are almost home owners in the state of Ohio! I can't remember the last time I was in that state, but will soon call it home. Rob went up to house hunt and I have agreed to purchase the house sight unseen.....fingers crossed that Rob actually knows my taste.

If all goes as planned....we will be in our own home in three weeks!!! AHHH, so much to do and so little time!ha

I have been super worried about the big girls with this move because we just moved here. They are excited and even though there will only be about a month left of school they are ready to move and get settled.

I'm trying to look at the positive side that the girls will not be so nervous about starting school in the fall, because it won't be a new school for them.

I had to add this picture of Sarah. She is a cutie pie and is changing and growing up way too fast. She loves to hang outside with her sisters and just walk around and pick grass.

She finally has 4 teeth!

Jenna.....just Jenna:)

My beautiful little six year old.

She is a very spunky little lady that doesn't dress up often.

She loves to play ball and get dirty.

She also loves her dolls and playing with her sisters.

She is an awesome big sister and younger sister.

Her smile melts my heart.

My Magic Boots~~ written by Meghan

~This is a story Meghan brought home from school the other day. I thought we would share it because it was well written and is super sweet. I think you can guess she misses England:) Oh, I did not change the spelling or grammar in the story...this is her writing. Enjoy!

One time I went on a walk. I saw a old dump and I saw a pair of boots!

Later that day I found out that they were magic boots. At first I got the boots because they looked new and shiny, but to-my-surprise they were magic boots that would take me anywhere.

I used to live in England. I missed England so much my magic boots took me back there! I got soaked in the rain with my sister Jenna! I also got to go with Jenna to jump on the trampoline. We were with our friends Emma, Michael, Rebecca, Sam and Jule. They were brothers and sisters and they were our next door neighbors, when we lived in England. Our other next door neighbors Kristy and Ryan have a dog named Nessy who could give high fives. They also had a cat named Cheetah. I wish my dog Sissy was with me and then Nessy and Sissy could be friends. My other friends across the street were Morgan and Mikey. They have a dog named Mocha. Morgan has a mouse and Mikey has two bearded dragons. One is a girl and one is a boy. I had a great time just now in England with my magic boots!

Next, I am going to the moon!

number of the day is.......15

Today is my 15th wedding anniversary!

15 years ago today it was a Saturday and a beautiful spring day. I was about to marry the love of my life and start an awesome adventure. I have a not so good memory for lot's of things, but I can remember this day like it was yesterday. I can almost smell the daisy's.

Looking back it seems like yesterday....yet at the same time feels like a lifetime ago. So much has happened since then......Rob was in the military, out and in college....back in the military and out for the last time (we think). I just finished college and was starting the job search. Worked for 6 years 8 months for the prisons system in NC...and then when Rob returned to active duty, I was able to be a stay at home mom. Three beautiful little girls have entered our lives. We "picked" them up along our journey. Oldest from NC, second from CA and youngest from the UK!

We have lived in 3 states and two countries and owned way too many cars/trucks and bikes!

Today is also Sarah's 15th month birthday!

15 months ago on a cold, snowy Wednesday in the UK I delivered my beautiful little busy-body Sarah.

Sarah is around 20lbs and still wears size 3 diapers. She is in 12-18 month clothes.

Sarah talks all the time and I love to hear her call for her big sisters. She has a very strong personality.

Sarah knows so many words and it seems every day a new one is added to her vocabulary.

Sarah can tell you where her eyes, nose, teeth, mouth, checks, ears...and toes are.

She likes to throw her dirty diapers away for you too.

Favorite things to do...besides get into EVERYTHING...she loves to dance, look at books and play with her sisters.

Sarah has also started going to the kitchen and hitting the pantry door when she is hungry. She hits the door and says, cracker.

Sarah normally takes one nap and sleeps really well at night. She is an early bird and does not like to lay around in her crib, she starts calling out for all of us. If I don't go get her pretty quick, she wakes up Jenna.

Sarah has three teeth that have broken through the gums with two more on top almost through.

It feels like she is growing up way too fast:)
