To move or to not move...
ok, so I've been thinking a lot and there are so many reasons to stay at my parents house for awhile but Steven keeps giving me reasons to leave. I want to leave but I dont. People help me out!!! What should we do?? Stay and save more so we can get a house here or move so we arent bothering anyone and are on our own? we would be saving there too but not as much as we would if we stayed. Since we have already told everyone we are leaving and we have told Steven's aunt and uncle we want the place we are kinda in a bind. My dad was all excited about us moving out and him finally get the rooms back. Plus i hate to leave ryan and jannica! :) But if we moved we might be a littler happier. Our marriage isnt as good as we hoped for but like everyone says it takes time especially considering the circumstances as to why we got married in the first place. Of course I love him and he loves me but having kids before we sealed the deal has def made it harder. Not only can we not spend time alone and do stuff on our own, we didt really get to live our lives like we would've wanted to. I def dont know what my life would be like without Gavin or Aiden but it def would be different. I dont regret keeping them but i do always wonder what i would be doing or what my life would be like if i had chosen otherwise. Anyways back to our little dilemma... I dont know what to do because i want to do both but we cant. But in all honesty steven is the one to be convincing. Hes the one that wants to move because he feels a little weird living here but he needs to get over it. Well anyways give me some feed back on what u guys think we should do...HELP!!

Founders Day & Gavin gets a Shot
Founder's Day
We had a blast at Founder's day! We always do! But this year we were welcomed with the presence of the Kartchner Family! We absolutely love them. To start it off we went to the parade. Steven had a blast stealing candy from the little ones. Thats how Gavin got so much candy. Poor kid wasnt even aloud to pick one single candy up because by the time he realized there was a candy and would reach for it Steven was already putting it in the bag. And poor Ryan had to move to the other side to get some. After the parade we took a long break at grandma's house and by 6 we were on the go again. Gavin loved riding all the rides. My mom and grandma had taken him on Thursday and of course my mom came home saying "You've got a dare-devil on Ur hands". He wanted to ride the Farris wheel. She didn't know if he shouldn't since he would be riding with Deven and Mackenzie. Def not a good idea but of course the first thing I said Thursday when we went to watch Mackenzie sing was "he is not riding the Farris wheel. I forbid it". Well guess what Gavin rode as soon as we got there Saturday?? the Farris wheel! I was scared out of my mind! I wanted to cry and of course there was aunt Beth next to me laughing cuz I was freakin out(thanks hahaha). After that i was fine with him riding it. It was def a first time mom thing. I think Gavin rode every ride except for the ones he wasnt tall enough to ride. He def had a blast and so did Steven. I on the other hand was kinda bored. I thought that I was gonna have Aiden but grandma wanted to watch him of course that wasnt a problem for me. I need a break every now and then. I def enjoyed watching Gavin ride the rides but I wish that I had been able to ride them with him.
After about 3 hours of non-stop riding of the rides we finally took a min to sit down and watch the fireworks. Ok last year we sat on the bleachers and had a great view so when aunt Beth asked me where to meet up I said the bleachers by the fence. When I went to look for my mom we couldnt find her anywhere so I called her. She told me she was by the porter-potties so we ran over there and found Mackenzie and Jannica sitting right in front of the porter-potties. I told my mom that Aunt Beth was sitting on the bleachers so we should probably go over there. Mackenzie and Jannica didnt want to move so we ended up watching the fireworks in front of the porter-potties. It was a great moment. Def one of the best places I have ever seen fireworks from. So after the fireworks everyone but Steven, Gavin, Mackenzie, Jannica, my mom, and I left so i took Kristina's armband so i could ride some rides with Gavin. We went to ride a ride and while on it Gavin totally feel asleep. We started to leave but my mom said she would carry Gavin while we rode rides with Mackenzie and Jannica. We rode like 2 rides and wanted to ride the swings, then the twist-a-whirl, and then play the fish game then we would go home. We waited for the ride to be over so we could get on and when it was over they started letting people in and he stopped it at us and there was 5 of us and we werent gonna ride unless all of us got to ride. well there were 4 seats left so we let the 3 girls behind us go in front of us and the guy started the ride. We waited again for the ride to stop and were totally excited to ride it and when it was over the guy let everyone get off and came over to us (and there were still a lot of people behind us) and said "that was it. This is closed". It was 10:53. so we were pretty bummed so we ran over to the twist-a-whirl and waited for like 2 mins and they told everyone that it was closed. 5 mins before closing time and they close all the rides. how lame!!! i was sooo mad!! I wanted to yell at the swing guy. i mean why make us wait that long then tell us that it was closed. And why not tell us this was the last time and make us give up our seats when I couldve just sat out and watched. stupid fair people! After being disappointed twice we went to play the fish game and won 2 fish then decided to finally go home. We were all exhausted. Steven feel asleep as soon as he hit the bed. what a fun day!
Gavin's shot
So Gavin got his 2nd part of the Hep B shot. That was def fun too. We went to the Health Department and come to find out Medicaid didnt pay for the 1st Hep B and wouldnt so we had to pay for those...there goes our gas money. By they way never get Medicaid! Its awful!!!! So we were on our way and I kept askin Gavin if he wanted to go get a shot. He always answered "ya". It was kinda funny. So we finally go in and hes all excited until the lady starts telling me to grab his arm and hold his feet with my legs and he freaks. Then he sees the needle and "pinch" he screams but he does really well. While we were waiting for the nurse to put it in the system she lays the needle on the desk where he can see it and he freaks again. Poor thing! I hate it so much. but at least we are done with him until he's 4! But he def had it good after. Since he did such a good job I told him he could have french-fries and he said "And choc milk?". So we went to McDonald's to get french-fries and choc milk. We also let him stay and play in the little play area and that totally made him tired. Again what another fun day!!

Princess Who...?
You Are Cinderella!
Dignified and hard working. With a gentle and soft-spoken manner you have something many people don't. Patience. Even through the moments of heartbreak you're still able to hold onto all of your hopes and dreams. Bide your time; your dream will come true.
Which Disney Princess Are You?

BIG NEWS!
Ok so here's the big news. We are moving out!!!! As soon as steven gets a job and we pay everything and everyone off we are leaving. Steven's aunt had this house (3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms)and there daughter used to live in it but she left so they are renting it out to family 1st and so far no one could get it so they asked us. rent is really cheap like 250 but the bad thing about it is its up by steven's family. neither of us r big fans of his family. we both love mine and dont wanna move away but it will be great because we can save for a down-payment on a house closer to my family and that way we will have a landlord to say good things about us. I HATE to move so far away from family but we wont be there long. Hopefully only 6 months then we will find another house closer to everyone. Since we are moving so far away that means that we will have to visit every weekend to see Coco, Popeye, and everyone else. Im very nervous about it but im excited to get out. The awesome thing about the house too is it comes with everything...furniture and his uncle is re-painting the walls and they want me to pick out stuff for it. it also has a pool table but i wanna get rid of it.we'll see though. So thats the big new of the week!!!
Aiden's Blessing Day
Sunday was amazing and im so glad that everyone could be there. I do wish that Steven wouldve been able to bless Aiden but since he hasnt been a member that long he wasnt able to. But i was totally excited to have Scott bless him. After Pawpaw Scott was our 1st choice. I love Scott and i think very highly of him, no matter what everyone else says. He has been nothing but awesome to me. He's always been there for me and my family.
The brunch after was awesome too. my mom was worried about not having enough meat but my goodness it didnt matter there was enough food!! We always have fun when the whole family gets together. This is also the reason y i hate to move far away from everyone.
Well here's some pics of Aiden that I took later on in the day if anyone wants to sit through all of them. Have fun looking at just Aiden lol.

The Beginning
Ok so im gonna try this blog thing. everyone in my family has one so why not us. plus im really bad at giving Aunt Beth pics. i always forget after i download them. Maybe this way i can keep everyone updated.
This week started out ok and has just taken a turn for the worst. Steven was supposed to hear from a couple guys about a job but so far nothing :(. im starting to get really frusterated. i hate not living on our own and not being able to pay for anything. Im not a good dependent person. im ready to start being able to afford things on our own. i hate borrowing from everyone. For some reason God doesnt want him to find one.
Aiden is starting to get his personality. he smiles and laughs all the time. its so funny and is adorable. he just gets cuter and cuter everyday. im so lucky to have the kids i have.
Madeliene is doing great. they just found out she has Renal Tubular Acidosis. It's when the kidneys are unable to maintain a balanced Ph in the body, making it acidotic. It affects her growth. she def had us worrying for awhile cuz they couldnt figure out what it was but now we know what it is and how to stop it. Def not as bad we everyone thought.
Gavin is totally 2! he thinks he can do everything by himself. he absolutly loves his little brother. but he loves him a little too much! he does try though. we love him so.
