          Wow, so I haven't blogged in over a year I can't believe how bad I am at this but this year I am going to try and do better.
          We had a great Christmas filled with lots of family, fun, and just relaxing (which is something I have not done in a long time). The girls were very spoiled and loved everything they got we have been playing games almost everyday. The one thing that they did not get were any books, I just couldn't find any good ones for them any where I went. Our New Years was good too. I worked for a few hours that night but once I got home we had some fun, it's crazy how late my kids can stay up. Our church switched to 9:00 so it was a little difficult for the girls to get up and stay happy through church. Jared and I are still Primary teachers for the 6 year olds and we really enjoy it. Now to talk about the girls and what they have been up to for the last year.
           Kaydence is now 4 years old and is in her second year of preschool, she is in the 4 year old primary class and really enjoys church and learning about Jesus. We are having a issues with her sleeping in her room so if any of you have any suggestions please leave them for me. Since Kaydence is going to enter kindergarten in the fall (I can not believe that time has flown by) I have applied for her to go to a Charter school and we are now just waiting for the lottery to start to see if she has been excepted, so within the next two weeks we will find out so keep your fingers crossed.
         Marley is now 2 years old and loves using her imagination. She is still in Nursery but loves it. She is basically potty trained I just need to put her in underwear instead of pullups but we just had so much going on that I didn't dare go anywhere unless she was wearing but but now that the festivities are over I guess it's time. She wants to go to school like her big sister but I am the one who can't let go so next year is going to be really tough for me when I actually do put her in preschool and Kaydence in kindergarten, what will I do with my time.
            Well I guess I will post a couple of pictures of Christmas and the most recent family photo.

Jared looks like a caveman in this picture, fortunately his beard is shaved way down, and Marley no longer has a binky.

God Created Children

2010-12-07T12:55:00.000-08:00

GOD CREATED CHILDREN (AND IN THE PROCESS GRANDCHILDREN)
To those of us who have children in our lives,
whether they are our own, grandchildren,
nieces, nephews, or students...
here is something to make you chuckle.
Whenever your children are out of control,
you can take comfort from the thought that
even God's omnipotence did not extend
to His own children.
After creating heaven and earth,
God created Adam and Eve.
And the first thing he said was "DON'T!"
"Don't what?" Adam replied.
"Don't eat the forbidden fruit."
God said.
"Forbidden fruit?"
"We have forbidden fruit?"
"Hey Eve..we have forbidden fruit!"
" No Way !"
"Yes way!"
"Do NOT eat the fruit!" said God.
'Why ? '
"Because I am your Father and I said so!"
God replied,
wondering why He hadn't stopped
creation after making the elephants
A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break
and He was ticked!
"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God asked.
"Uh huh,"
Adam replied.
"Then why did you?"
said the Father.
"I don't know,"
said Eve.
"She started it!"
Adam said.
"Did not"
"Did too"
"DID NOT"
Having had it with the two of them,
God's punishment was that Adam and Eve
should have children of their own.
Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed.
If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it,
don't be hard on yourself.
If God had trouble raising children,
what makes you think it would be
a piece of cake for you?

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT
1. You spend the first two years of their life
teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend
the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.
2. Grandchildren are God's reward
for not killing your own children.
3. Mothers of teens now know why
some animals eat their young.
4. Children seldom misquote you.
In fact,they usually repeat word for word
what you shouldn't have said
5. The main purpose of holding children's parties
is to remind yourself that there are children
more awful than your own
6. We childproofed our homes,
but they are still getting in.

ADVICE FOR THE DAY:
Be nice to your kids.
They will choose your
nursing home one day

AND FINALLY:
IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TENSION
AND YOU GET A HEADACHE,
DO WHAT IT SAYS
ON THE ASPIRIN BOTTLE:
'TAKE TWO ASPIRIN'
AND 'KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN'!!!!!

Updates

2010-08-04T09:48:00.000-07:00

Wow, so it has been an extremely long time since I have updated my bolg (at least it eels that way). I have kind of been avoiding it because the next thing I was going to blog about after Kaydence's birthday was Marley's birthday and her party but it eneded up being ruined so I really haven't felt like talking about it. I just hope next year it turns out better, the families better act like adults next year. So Brittany I am updating now so here you go read your little heart out even though you already know everything. So Marley is officially 1, wow I can't believe it the time just flew by. She is so stinkin cute I can't stand it, she weighs 20 pounds and is 30 inches tall. She doesn't really say much, she says momma, dad, dog, baby, doll and that's about it. She communicates very well and knows everything we say to her and tell her to do so I am not worried about her not talking and neither is her doctor. She has been having some weird health issues that we are still trying to figure out. We are in the process of figuring out if she has a food allergy other than the one we already know of; dairy. The doctor has told me to put her on a soy formula to help her get the calories that she is missing out on while we do this and to gain some weight. We have been having a fun summer, we got a puppy, Kaydence namd him Jake and he is the cutest thing we really love him. He is a Great Pyrenees and he is just now 7 weeks old. We went camping up to Lava Hot Springs with my family and had a BLAST! The girls loved being with my family for 2 days, they loved the pool and we even took Kaydence down the river. We had a little visitor in our campsite, a skunk who wanted to eat everything and could even open bags. We had family pictures taken at the begining of June and I absolutley love them! A friend from highschool has her own company and does amazing work (twicetheglam.com). I am doing really well in school and am loving every minute of it. It's nice to be around adults who are in the same boat as me. Right now I am taking a Medical Billing and Coding class and this one is going to suck bad, I have only been to one class and it is so confusing and it doesn't help that my teacher has only taught it once before so I don't even know what to expect. Well I am bored of typing so I guess I will do more a different day and just add some pictures in now.

Kaydence's Birthday!!!

2010-04-20T12:28:00.000-07:00

Wow I can't believe that it has been three years since I had my baby girl, time goes by so fast. Kaydence's birthday was on Friday the 16th but we celebrated it on Saturday the 17th and I think the party was a success, Kaydence sure had a great time. It was a Mickey Mouse themed party that she chose and even helped me choose the decorations for it, she is completely obbsessed with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on the Disney channel and has to watch it every morning. We had the party at our house in the backyard and it was just a perfect day for a BBQ. All of our family came and some friends and we just sat around talknig and eating and watched Kaydence open up presents and then try to play with everything before she would open another. She got spoiled but it's so hard not to spoil her especially with some of the faces she gives and those beautiful big brown eyes. At the begining she had to make sure that everyone had on their Mickey ears and if you didn't then she would hand you some and help you put them on, i think she just wanted everyone to have as much fun as she was having. She had a Mickey face shaped cake that I made and it turned out really good, plus it tasted good too.

My beautiful cake.

She loves her new bike.

These next pictures are from Easter

They did not want to sit still for me to get anygood pictures of them in their dresses.

swimming

2010-03-27T07:26:00.000-07:00

So every Wednesday (well most of them) My stepmom and I take my kids and my little sister to The Clearfield Aquatic Center to swim and they love it. Kaydence thinks she is big enough to swim without any type of flotation device and she does really good but I still make her wear either her life jacket or the little arm floaties. Marley absolutely loves the water, she cannot get enough she just loves to splash and squeal it is so much fun to watch and play with them. Nothing much has been going on around our house except for Marley reaching new milestones. She crawls like crazy and is super fast, she pulls herself up on everything and has started standing without holding on to something it's only a matter of time before she is walking. She can go up the stairs by herself but has not even attempted to go down, she can say a few words but my favorite is momma and then she will look up at me with those big blue eyes and it's so hard not to pick her up so I guess it's my fault she is a spoiled baby. Kaydence is about to turn 3, wow where has the time gone. She has decided that she wants to have a Mickey Mouse party and even told me who she wanted to invite, everything that comes on t.v. that she wants she always says mom can I have that for my birthday at my Mickey Mouse party. I love it. She is so smart and is just learning more and suprising me everyday. This past weekend into the week she had the Chickenpox, seriously who gets the Chickenpox anymore? Since she was vaccinated for the Chickenpox she didn't get is nearly as bad as it's supposed to be, I guess the shot does what it's supposed to and preparesthe body for what it should look like so the virus has no choice but to change and it doesn't hit very strong. She only had maybe 20 spots mostly on her stomach and they never itched but she was also put on a medication so maybe that helped a little too. I am just hoping Marley doesn't get it since she hasn't been immunized yet and she will get the real full blown thing which would really suck. Jared and I were called as primary teachers of the 6 year olds but have yet taught do to Kaydence's Chickenpox but tomorrow should be fun I just hope they listen.

Growing

2010-02-09T11:42:00.000-08:00

So I can't beleive how fast time goes by, I mean my kids are getting so big. Marley is eight months old, she's crawling, jabbering, she can pull herself up on anything that stays in place, she loves food and most of all the water. If she hears the tub water running she crawls in to the bathroom as fast as she can and pulls herself up so she can see the water and as soon as it's high enough for her to reach she starts splashing. It looks like I am going to have another water baby, Kaydence loves to swim it's hard for us to leave the pool so when we go we have to make sure we are prepared to stay for a while. Next week we are going to go swimming with my step mom and baby sister so we will see what Marley thinks of the pool and all the people around I just hope I remember the camera. Kaydence is almost three I can't beleive it and she is so smart I have been looking for a preescholl to put her in to help her become more advanced in what she already knows but all the ones I have found she has to be over three so it kinda sucks, I just wish someone woul make an exception because she fits in so well with older kids but whatever I guess I have to be patient. I love my kids and wouldn't trade them for anything in the world even on our bad days.

Holidays

2010-01-20T13:20:00.000-08:00

So I have definately been slacking on blogging but hey I am back and with super cute pictures. We had a great Thanksgiving we went to my grandma's house and spent the day with my entire family which was a blast and Kaydence got to play with some cousins she doesn't get to see very often. Kaydence was so excited for Christmas and she kept asking me when Santa was coming so I told her he would come when it snowed so throughout December every time it would snow she would ask if Santa was coming and I felt so bad everytime I had to tell her no not yet. Christmas this year was so much fun because Kaydence actually understood what was going on and she could tell me what she wanted to get. We took her to see Santa and she walke staight up to him, climbed on his lap and then wouldn't say a word no matter how hard I tried to get her to talk so the picture of her and Marley with Santa is not the best. Christmas finally came around and it was a blast but very exhausting. We had my grandparents on my dads side came in town as well as my step moms parents so we had a great Christmas eve dinner at my dads and then we had to go to my in laws house to have Christmas with them. Christmas morning was fun Kaydence was so excited everytime she opened a new present and all she talked about all day was giving and opening presents. We later went to my dads and then to my moms, both Kaydence and Marley got spoiled rotten. Kaydence's big present was a kitchen and some play food which she absolutely loves, plus numerous other presents. Marley and Kaydence got some combined presents but they both love the wagon they got, they made Jared pull them up and down the hall and around the living room all morning. Marley is now seven months old and is grownign so fast, she is very tall for her age just like Kaydence was/is. She is such a food eater and a HUGE momma's girl which I love but it gets irrating, sometimes I can't do anything without holding her. Since I hate super long posts I will end mine now and try to do better in keeping up on my blog so now here are some pictures I hope you enjoy. I will post the really cute profesional pics we got done of them in their cute winter outfits and their Christmas dresses as soo as I get them in the computer.

These two pictures are from the Chournos Christmas party we had at a tumbling place. It was so fun.

Eight!

2009-11-13T22:22:00.000-08:00

So this morning when I was doing Kaydence's hair we were picking ou tthe color of hair bands and I needed two so I said "lets count" 1, 2 then she kept going all the way until 8 it completely shocked me but it was so cute and I was so proud I've made her do it all day. I guess she is finally paying attention to the things I try to teach her or maybe I am trying to teach to much at once so it's taking her a little longer to catch on . She is such a smart kid, she talks so much and you can ubderstand almost all of what she says, she can identify colors, some shapes, some of the abc's and now she has learned to count to 8. She will tell me that Jesus and Heavenly Father love her and can pick Jesus out of a picture. She has been completely potty trained for about 3 months it's great. I know I am babbbling but I am just so proud of my little girl!

It's Been Awhile

2009-11-06T15:48:00.000-08:00

So we finally bleassed Marley on September 27th and Jared did an amazing job. We were so lucky to have alm ost all of our family join us, and then after for a great luncheon. I found the most perfect dress online at a store called Hevenly Delight but they no longer had one because the company that made the dress went out of buisness but supplied to a few stores in Utah so it took a long time but I finally found it at a store in Gardner Village and they offered to ship it to their sister store in Bountiful so I got lucky and was able to get the dress I wanted. She doesn't like to smile when the camera is on her so i usually have to take the good pictures with my phone so she doesn't know.

We had alot of fun un the month of October, we went to the zoo on one of the last warm saturdays of the year and Kaydence had a blast. We took Jared's little brother Sam with us so of course that mad eit even more fun for Kaydence who just adores her uncle Sam. She really loved the elephants, giraffes, and lions. There were a bunch of super cute new baby animals, I always love going to the zoo but the poor monkeys make me sad in their small cages. We also celebrated Papa's birthday (my dad) and Kaydence couldn't wait to tell him 'happy happy' she is so stinkin cute and she couldn't wait to give him his presents or maybe it's just because she wanted to help open them. Then of course we celebrated Halloween and I am not quite

sure if it is going to be her favorite holiday or christmas because all she kept telling me was that it was halloween at mommy's house and trick or treat, but now she keeps telling me ho ho is coming to bring toys and I keep telling her when it snows and only if you are good so needless to say I am so excited for Christmas because she actually knows what is going on and I am looking forward to making the girls' christmas dresses this year so lets just hope I can find the perfect pattern because I have already found a dress I like but I really want to make them. We went trick or treating at the Layton Hills Mall which she really enjoyed, then a couple of houses in my moms neighborhood, and then with uncle Sam. Kaydence got a ton of candy and even some money from people (she really likes getting dollars). This fall Jared and my sister Kindsey have been playing softball on a coed team in Clearfield and their team pretty much sucks but we have all had fun watching and talking

Kaydence usually finds other kids to play with and when there aren't any she climbs all over the bleachers and puts on any article of clothing she can find. Marley will be 5 months next week and she is getting so big. She loves to

play with Kaydence, well sometimes and she is learning how to grab toys and put them in her mouth. She refuses to sit so it's hard for her to play plus she really likes nope LOVES mommy to hold her which can be a little irritating especially when I need to clean or make dinner but I love every minute I spend with my girls.

Camping

2009-09-20T20:09:00.000-07:00

So this weekend we went camping up to the cabin near Monte Cristo and had so much fun. Kaydence just absolutely loves it up there, she just runs, runs, runs and barely stops to eat or go to bed at night. There is so much for her to do but her favorite is to ride the 4 wheeler with uncle Sam. Jared, his friend Evan, and his brother Sam went hunting ground squirrels or 'pot guts' as they call them and Kaydence just kept looking at the fishing poles and asking if she could go fishing, I just had to tell her "you have to wait until daddy comes back because mommy doesn't want to touch the worms" then she would say "eww worms", she is so stinking cute I just love her. Jared's grandparents have also put up a little playground and it has all the toys Kaydence could think of to play with but her favorite is 'the mommy house' why she calls it that I have no idea it's just one of those little plastic houses but if she wants to think it's home wwhy not. I wish I could post pictures but I forgot my camera everytime we went up there which was quite a bit this summer I am so mad at myself but what can I do about it now. Next week is Marley's blessing and I found her the cutest dress I can't wait for her to wear it, I will definately have my camera then so I will post pictures of my two cute girls next week.

Catching Up

2009-08-15T07:47:00.000-07:00

So we have had a fun summer so far. We did alot in July. I turned 23 (I can't believe I am 23 I feel old), we went to the Clearfield 4th of July parade and Kaydence absolutely loved it and then the fireworks which she also love, she is deffinately my child. We went to the Davis family reunion in Georgia, Kaydence loved the airplane she thought it was the neatest thing in the world. Marley was so good on the plane she just slept, my dad was nice enough to get us a non stop flight because I don't know what I would have done if we would have had a layover. The family reunion was fun not everything happened that was planned but it was nice to see family I haven't seen in 2 years. The only bad thing was it ended early with a good old fashioned family brawl so who knows if there will be another family reunion I guess only time will tell. We decided to take Kaydence to the Ogden rodeo with JAreds family because she loves horses, that was not a good plan she was bored after 5 minutes and would not sit down she just kept going back and forth from person to person. We just celebrated Jared's 26th birhtday and Kaydence could not wait to give him his presents she just kept walking around the house saying 'daddy happy happy'. Now I am getting ready to take them camping with my dad srpemom and sisters. Kaydences likes to camp because she loves to be able to run around. She has never camped in a tent before so we will have to see how both the girls do.

2009-06-17T10:36:00.000-07:00

So it's official I am no longer pregnant. MarleyAnn Chournos was born on Thursday June 11, 2009 at 12:22 p.m. at Davis Hospital via C- Section weighing 7 pounds 6 ounces measuring 20 1/2 inches long. She is so cute, she has brown hair and bright blue eyes ( for now). She never cries except when she is getting hungry and she sleeps really good. Kaydence absolutely loves her she always wants to hold her and loves to give her kisses and hugs. She can kind of say her name but it's gonna take her some time before it's understandable. We have been home since Sunday afternoon and I am not as exhausted as I thought I would be with having a 2 year old running around and a newborn but I have had alot of help so far, family are taking turns by keeping kaydence for a couple of hours a day so that she can get out of the house and get some personal attention and I can rest and since Marley is a very good baby it makes it easier to do that so that I can heal. Jared has been a big help and lucky for him Marley only gets up like twice a night to eat and then goes back to sleep so he is still getting a good nights rest. The only problem we are really having is Kaydence and the binky. She has been doing really good since we took hers away but now Marley uses a binky and for the most part she leaves it alone or tries to give it to Marley but every once in a while she will put it in her mouth and run. I was hoping this wouldn't happen since Marley doesn't even like the type of binky Kaydence does but I guess we will just have to see how it plays out I hope only a couple more days and she won't want it anymore so cross your fingers. I will post pictures next time once I put them on the computer.

2009-06-02T17:39:00.000-07:00

So everything in our lives is about to change. Next thursday June 11 at 12:00 p.m. we will be adding Marley Anne Chournos to our family via C-Section. I really hope that Kaydence takes everything ok once we get home with the new baby. She does really good with my 5 month ol half sister Sarai but she doesn't live in our home so I am sure it is going to be quite the experience. Meanwhile we are in the middle of week 2 with no binky. I feel bad taking it away with everything about to change especially since I don't care that she has one but she bites them and makes a hole then freaks out because it's 'broken' and I don't feel like buying new ones every other day so it's bye-bye binky. She is actually doing really well the first couple of days she would just ask for it then whine a little bit when I told her they were all gone and then she would move on with her day, now we are to the point where she doesn't ask for them and if she sees one of Sarai's she just gives it to her so I really hope that things don't go backwards when Marley is here. For the past couple of weeks we have been going swimming at the Clearfield Aquatic Center and Kaydence absolutely loves it. Last summer I put her in swim lessons and I wasn't really sure if she got it but the more we go this year the more she seems to remember. She got away from me and ran and jumped in the 3'6" part without a life jacket or floaties and she kept herself up and rolled on her back to stay afloat till I got there which was only like 2 seconds but I was still impressed. When she has her life jacket on she watches the other kids and tries to swim it's so cute. Life is so much more exciting when she is around.

2009-04-28T11:57:00.001-07:00

So last week was eventful, we celebrated Kaydence's second birthday. We had a Spongebob themed party I even made a Spongebob cake which she loved. She got a million things but the thing she wouldn't let go of was her new bike which she felt the need to ride around the park. I can't believe that she is already two and talking so much and now we are having another baby in just over a month, crazy. Then last wednesday we went to the zoo with my step mom and my half sister Kaydence loved every minute of it. She loved lokking at all the animals and couldn't get enough she was running everywhere. She was so mad when we sat down to eat lunch that was not a priority of hers because there were no animals near by. We rode the new carasel, she thought that was the neatest ride in the world. We also rode the train which is not that cool and not worth spending your dollar on. I will have to post pictures of the zoo when I put them on the computer.

2009-04-10T13:02:00.000-07:00

So things in our life are still good. Kaydence got to dye easter eggs yesterday and she loved it, she thinks they are the coolest things because they are colored. Tomorrow is the big family easter party with the egg hunt and I am so excited to watch her find them. She did ok last year but this year she will actually know how to hold her basket so they don't fall out. we got her the cutest easter dress I just hope she is good in church and doesn't get her dress dirty, lately whenever she is in a dress she likes to kneel on thr garage floor and play in the cracks. She is getting so big her birthday is on thursday and we are having her party the following sunday. She is really tall for her age and she is already groing out of 2T pants I don't know what I am going to do if ahe keeps growing, I just hope baby Marley will grow at a normal pace. Everything else is good my pregnany is still good I am finally showing and now strangers are asking me when I am due. So far we are still expecting her on her due date June 17 but I bet it will be earlier like Kaydence especially since I will be having another C-Section, but I guess we will see.

2009-02-25T17:10:00.000-08:00

So we had aan eventful weekend. Kaydence got her ears pierced which was sad, she didn't really cry she didin't like being pinned down so she couldn't move her head that made her really mad but they look really cute. She learned how to do a summer salt which she really enjooys doing and is actually really good at for her age and just learning. Then we took her to the movies her very first one and saw Coraline which is kinda wierd but I guess that's what you get with Tim Burton. Kaydence did really good she watched the entire movie without moving and only talked about some of the things in the movie, I was really impressed. I just wished the snow would melt so that we can go outside, everyday she stares out our sliding door points and says outside. So hopefully soon.

2009-02-15T19:56:00.000-08:00

Well it has been a long time since I have written I have had a hard time logging on with my computer and so I had to wait until I could get passed the holidays and to my sisters computer. So everything in our lives are still the same, I am still loving staying home with my daughter as wild as she may be and doing many fun things with her. She is learning her ABC's, colors, shapes and her numbers she is such a super smart kid. She is talking alot and you can understand most of the things she says, she loves talking on the phone as long as it's on speaker so that she can point and tell you a story even though you can't see her. I am having fun begining to plan her second birthday party which is in April so I still have a bit but I am excited, the theme will be Spongbob Squarepants her most favorite character in the whole world. I am trying to prepare her for our new baby, oh ya I am five and a half months pregnant and it's another girl I am due in June so I hope Kaydence can adjust well, I think she will because she loves babies. Well only time will tell.

2008-09-28T18:30:00.000-07:00

So things in my life are still going great. Kaydence has learned a couple of new words... Turtle, Duck, Grandpa, Quack , and Sasha ( my moms dogs name). She is so cute and such a handful my mom says she is just like me at her age and Jareds mom says the exact same thing about him. She love to hide legos all over the house when I think I have finally found them all I find more mostly under my bed. We finally figured out what she is going to be for halloween. A monkey. She always makes this monkey face to be funny and it's so cute, I found the perfect costume for her it is a really warm costume so I don't have to worry about her being cold at all especially since she will be trick - or - treating with her uncle Sam up in the Valley. I am so excited for halloween she is going to be so cute, when I tried her costume on her she just started smiling and running around.

2008-09-09T20:40:00.000-07:00

So we are loving our new house it's great to have a real yard and not an apartment yard where I can't keep Kaydence's toys outside without worrying about them being broken or stolen by the nieghbor kids. Kaydence just loves running around the yard and picking up rocks. We bought her a little toy lawn mower that blows bubbles and sounds kinda like a real lawn mower and she follows Jared around the yard as he mowes it is so cute. I can not wait until our basement is finished, it is basically finished we just have to put the ceiling up and then paint it then we can put everything in it and will be the playroom/ entertainment room we need especially since fall is here and it iis starting to cool off and get dark sooner. We still don't have t.v or internet we are waiting for the basement to be finished so we can hook it all up at once but I am going crazy all we have to watch are movies and seasons of t.v. shows and I am getting kinda sick of them. Well anyway I will write next week when I come to my moms.

2008-08-12T21:25:00.000-07:00

So we are finally moved into our new house after a month of cleaning, painting, and mostly just waiting for new carpet which is gorgeous. We don't have any tv, phone, or internet service or I would post pics I am just at my moms and I didn't bring any. Our nieghborhood is a great nieghborhood we have already met some great people and it is so close to where we both work and downtown ogden which is great. I love this house I just wish we had all the blinds and curtins up especially in my bedroom because the sun comes in and it is not my friend in the morning.

So we are still painting our new house, we are almost done but we are waiting for carpet and I am stessing. They had to order our carpet so i just hope something doesn't happen to where it comes late and then we can't move in when we are plannin. I just want to move and be done with everything.

So today's the day, tonght at 5:30 we go in to close on our house and get our keys. I am so excited I can't wait to start painting and making it our home, the one thing I am not looking forward to is cleaning the apartment we are leaving. I am also not so thrilled about packing and unpacking but I figure if I do a little bit at a time it won't be to bad. Kaydence is going to love this house because we will be able to keep her outside toys outside where she can always play with them instead of inside so they don't get stollen or damaged, plus the new swingset that she now has. What else could a toddler ask for, a big yard, a swingstet, toys, and all the dirt she thinks she can get away with eating.

So we found another house about a week ago and our offer was accepted and we close next week, I am so excited. This house is so much better than the other house we were getting I love it. There are some pretty crazy colors in the bedrooms but that is nothing I can't handle I just can't wait to get the keys so that I can hurry and paint and move in and throw a party! As soon as I get the keys I will take pictures so I can post them and you can see my very cute house.

So it's been awhile since I have been on but I am back now. So my husband Jared and I have been dealing with house hunting and we actually put an offer in on one and it was excepted so we were happy. We had some issues with the listing realitor getting us the paper work so we had to get extentions for deadlines for the inspection, the appraisal and all that fun stuff. When we finally got the inspection done a few things failed and the sellers decided they didin't want to fix anything (oh and they only spoke spanish so it was very hard to communicate with them to tell them what we wanted because their realior was out of town). So we decided not to buy it so that was sad and good because I was starting to get nervous about it. We really want to buy a house but we have a great apartment and freat rent but we want to have another baby so we need to get a bigger place. Who knows what will happen I guess we'll just have to see. Everything else in our lives is going great, Kaydence is so much fun she is taking swimming lessons because we spend a lot of time in and around water in th summer and she is doing great she just loves the water. It's so wierd how much someone her age can learn she is such a smart kid and I am not just saying that because she is my daughter but I do think she is the best. Well it's getting late so I guess I will write ag

Well I have no clue what I am doing but I guess I can't really mess it up. My name is Neisha Chournos my husbands name is Jared and I have a beautiful daughter named Kaydence, she is 12 months old and a handful sometimes but she is great. I love my family so much, they are the best.
