All is RIGHT (a mess) Again! :)

Woo Hoo everyone is back home this week. The kiddo's are back from camp and Frank is back from Canada, the house is a wreck there is loads of laundry in the laundry room all is back to normal!

Frank worked from home Friday so I got 3 whole days to him! Friday night Frank and the babies and I went and walked around Sam's club then came home and had a lazy night.

Then Sat. early we were headed to get the big kids. Aden got car sick just about 1/2 mile from the camp and got sick all over himself and the car. So dad got to stay in the van with the babies until the campers ceremony was over. Then when Marcus and Natalie opened the van door to get in Aden went wild. Both him and Bella were SO excited to see the big brother and sister. We heard all their camp stories the whole way home. So glad they had such a good time. Marcus did have 2 seizures while he was there. A bummer and is really making us think about football this year. ?? Saturday night we went to a very hot Naturals game with the Anderson's and the Miller's. We had a good time despite the heat.

Sunday we all slept in until 9 or later. Frank made everyone French toast for breakfast. YUM-O!! Then we just spent the day being mostly lazy. Taking naps and watchin movies. Around 4:30ish we went to the Bentonville pool and let the kids swim for about an hour or so. They all had fun. It was the perfect time to go too b/c most people were leaving.

So all is back to normal this Monday. I am back to trying to keep the house somewhat clean, doing loads of laundry, and attempting to make everyone in the house happy!

That's my Life!

Our Little Aden

He is our baby, but it's going so fast and he wants to be such a big boy. This past weekend he started sleeping on his big boy bed. He loved it. Thought he was such a big boy laying there with Bella. He got his first big boy hair cut over the 4th weekend and it seems like it changed everything. He says yes for yes and no for no. It's so cute to see him answering questions. And sometimes when you tell him something he will say K (for ok). As with all the kiddo's it just seems like all the sudden over night they are big.

It's funny b/c alot of his words he is lazy with and he will just say the beginning or end of the work. Like Bella.....he can say Bella but most of the time it's Be with a short e carried, or Natalie is Naaaa with a short a carried. Even though he can say it.

Thank you God for our little blessings!

He is all about making messes. Forget his room (s) sull of toys, NOPE he wants to get into the closets and bookshelves and pantry and his FAVORITE place in the house is Bubba's room. :)

A Short Week

It has definately been a short week. I only got to see my Natalie for 7 days and she is fixin to be off to camp. Marcus and Natalie both will be leaving this Sunday for Camp War Eagle. They are SOOO excited! Counting the days. They have had a good week. They went with Lauren to the promenade and walked around all the stores on Wed. to get out of the house for a while. Today they are going with her to see Despicable Me at the movies. They definately can't say they haven't had a good summer. Between Silver Dollar City, White Water, Mena trips, Natalie going to Gulf Shores, camping, canoeing and now Camp War Eagle they have had a filled summer.

Frank has started his new job with Sam's this week. He has been thrilled. He found out next week he will be going to Canada for 3 days and next month he will be going to Orlando for 4 days AND he gets to go to Universal Orlando while he's there. I am so excited for him and also SO jealous. :)

Now when do I get my vacation? A cabin by the lake with at least 1 day of relaxing and quiet please. :)

Catchin Up! Again.....

After being sick almost all last week I am back and ready to play catch up. With everything. Blogging, cleaning house, laundry, cooking meals at home :)
Had a great weekend with family for the holiday! Friday and Saturday was spent with Frank's family hangin out, went to the "Dog Park" in Mena which is like a mini mini Chuck E. Cheese, got to eat some Mexican food! Then Frank and I had to go to Ft. Smith to pick up Natalie from the Hess' (she got to go on a 1 week long vacation to Gulf Shores, AL) so we got back late. Frank's brother and mom introduced the babies to fireworks and scared the living daylights out of them. Sunday was a fun filled day at my grandmas!!! We cooked TONS of food as always! Ate tons of food (as always) played 4 games of volleyball (so fun) and all the babies got to play and swim in the pool! Then that night we all did fireworks. Aden sat with Nana through the show and didn't get scared until the very last one. Bella sat in the sun room until the very last one and then she ran in the house. It was much fun times!

So glad to have us all at the house for the week. This Sunday Natalie and Marcus are off to Camp War Eagle!!! They are excited!

Our Weekend

We had a pretty good weekend!

Miss Natalie got a surprise and got to go to Gulf Shores with our friends the Hess'. She left Friday night and won't be home until the 3rd. I am missing her SO much. Thank goodness Kim is sending me pics.

Marcus was bored without her. He would never admit it, but totally was. Friday night we had grandmommy and Apryl and Frank's 1/2 sister Ariel over. We haven't seen her since Natalie was a baby. it was nice! Good dinner! Saturday we were pretty lazy. Hung out at the house for a while then went into town and walked around the promenade a little bit. Went to eat at Red Robin. Ever since they have started that commercial where the kids are playing hid and seek and say Red Robin me and Marcus have been saying we need a burger from there. :) It was good! Then Marcus got to pick a game for the Wii. That's how he decided to spend his money. That night my wonderful hubby talked me into watching Shutter Island. During and right after the movie I was thinking "this is one messed up movie" Frank even commented "who would even think of this stuff." Now I look back and knowing the end wouldn't mind watching it again to process everything. Sunday morning we finally made it to church!!!!! Oh man have we all missed being there. Well everyone but Aden. He is at the stage where he doens't want to be left. We have been told that as long as they don't look at him then he doens't cry. Silly boy. On the way home we stopped by Braums and got us some tubs of ice cream and then came home and chowed down. Momma and the babies took naps!! Much needed! Then we all got up and got ready to go to town. We were going to go to the Celebrate America at the new Orchard's park, but it started storming right as it was starting. !Bummer! We did get to see our Anderson friends for a few minutes! Been missing them. We also made it to the snow cone stand "Frozen Tung" before it closed so that was a good thing. Once we got home we let the babies play in the rain on the back porch for a while. They thought it was great! Too much fun. Sunday night we all wastched a movie from our Netflix que, then off to bed.

It was the first weekend we have had in months where we didn't have plans

and was able to hang out and go when we wanted too!

THANKFUL!

A little too much FUN in the SUN!

This past weekend we took the kids to White Water. This was out first venture there. The kids had so much fun! They loved the water. There was so much to do for the babies and the bigger kids. The lines weren't too long at all. Everyone had a good time. Hannah, Pete and the babies went with us. We didn't take any camera's or phones in so we have no pics which kinda stinks. I got over heated (even though I didn't feel it). Even though Aden got tired as long as we didn't stop he was fine. At first he was a little sceptic about all the water. He isn't a fan of being splashed, but after standing back for a few and watching all the other kiddo's he was all in. Bella loved it from the start. She went down any and all slides she was able. We had a picnic lunch and the kiddo's did good. No fits. Everyone ate their lunch and then we were back in the water. The wave pool is my favorite. For 15 minutes it's a regular pool and then for 10 min. they do waves. The waves are pretty big and get bigger the longer it's on. Marcus and Natalie loved that. Bella loved to jump the waves. Aden wasn't sure at first b/c they nearly knocked him down but our last venture in he was all about it. He kept trying to walk farther into the pool. The waves didn't let him go to far.

Overall it was lots of fun, the place was clean, we rented a semi-cabana so we had shade, a locker, a table and chairs to rest. We will definately be going back soon! Next time we will take some pics!

Craziness Stage

So I believe we all go through many stages in life.

Sometimes the same stage happens more than once in our lives.

Right now we are very much so going through the craziness stage. So many times when someone has come to me and told me about all the craziness in their lives I always say "It's life and you just have to live it." Right now at this moment I am having a hard time taking my own advice.

It just seems like it's never ending. Everything going on with Marcus is so overwelming for everyone. It seems like 1 minute things are going good and it's going to be back to normal and then boom when you least expect it something happens. I love this boy so much. I pray daily I am making the right decisions for him and loving him as I should. Always pleading God's blood over him for protection and God's consuming love over him for peace and guidance.

Right now we are also hanging by a thread over all this real estate stuff. As of right now I am NOT a fan of realtors. They are about as bad as car sales men.....if not worse. We have been working on our credit for some time now. It seems like no matter how much we work on it there is always something else there. Especially now with the medical bills. So we are just weeks away from being approved for a home loan. We moved in our current house with hopes to buy it. Now that we have been in it and see all the problems it has and some that we can't see, but have learned it has it's a constant battle on what's the best thing to do. We have moved soooo many times in our lives. We really didn't want to have to do it again. We hate moving the kids schools. They are even sick of moving.

Now we are haveing to sit through strangers coming through the house, while I am here with all the kiddo's, to decide if they want to buy it. I so badly want to point out all the flaws. One thing I have learned about Frank and I is that we are WAY to gullable. People just eat us right up and spit us out.

So many prayers and studying happening right now. Trying to take in all that I am suppose to. Needing guidance in every move I make to make the right decisions with finding our home, taking care of our kids, taking care of others babies, being a good wife and friend.

It's this little thing called life and we all must live it!

Catchin Up!

Wow, how time flies and life as well. It's aparently been 7 months since I have posted. Honestly I forgot I had the account. Another friend of mine started blogging and I logged on to follow her. Then what do you know I found my own account. :)

I don't even know where to start. I could go back on facebook and copy all my posts from there onto here and then we would be caught up. That has been my lifeline to the world outside of church and the kids sports I do nothing. So facebook is like a phone call for me. It's how I get to connect to the world. More importantly connect to grown ups. Some says it's wasting time, but for me to get on for 10 minutes it's a connection. That way I don't go around talking like a 2 year old and singing toddler toons all day.

I can't post one long post so I will post updates on all the kiddo's on seperate posts throughout the day!

Enjoy our cRaaaZy life!

Magical Moments from Chicken Soup for the Soul

An insert that I read today and LOVED. Made me feel like my life is normal after all.

Enjoy!

"Maa-maaa!" My two-year-old daughter, Alex, called from her crib. I bounded up the stairs, excited to have the whole day to play with her. I was now, officially, a stay-at-home mom. Lucky enough to have the option, I'd made a tough decision and quit my job as a registered nurse.
"Ready for some fun?" I picked up Alex and gave her a tight squeeze, grateful to finally have the time to conquer all the "mommy-and-me" projects I'd collected from parenting magazines. I could never get to them on weekends, and I was ready to catch up. Alex and I would make animal masks out of paper plates in the morning and homemade Play-Doh in the afternoon. For lunch, I'd use cookie cutters to make edible figurines out of American cheese slices. After her nap, we'd make gift wrap using Alex's handprints. My life could finally be full of the magical moments I imagined filled up the days of stay-at-home mothers everywhere.
While singing nursery rhymes, I poured pancake batter into heart-shaped molds, a breakfast that literally showed my love. As I handed Alex her plate, I took a deep breath of satisfaction; she looked so sweet in her new dress and matching hair bow. The day was ours to enjoy. I turned my back for only a second and was shocked to turn back around to find Alex covered in syrup. I'd imagined pushing my princess through the grocery store in her new outfit, while white-haired ladies nodded approvingly over their shopping carts. The fantasy would have to wait. By the time I changed her clothes, cleaned up the breakfast mess, started the laundry, changed a stinky pull-up, and answered two phone calls, I was already way behind schedule. When would I have time to fit in my list of magical moments? On my way out the door, I noticed a note from my husband telling me to please Express Mail the important papers he'd left on his desk to our accountant. The note went on to say that he needed his shirts from the dry cleaners for tomorrow's business trip, and since I no longer worked and had the whole day, could I make his favorite pot roast for dinner?
I sighed. "Well, Alex. We better get moving."
The line at the post office was out the door with only one clerk on duty. Intrigued by all the packaging materials, Alex kept getting away from me to touch everything. I didn't see the harm until…crash! She knocked over a display of assorted envelopes. I sheepishly cleaned up the mess, thankful a nice man took pity on me and saved my place in line.
From there, we finally headed off to the dry cleaners, but Alex fell asleep in the car. I wanted to run in and leave her napping, but I sensed child abductors lurking everywhere and decided to just go home and let her sleep in peace.
As soon as I turned off the car engine, Alex's eyes shot open and she wailed out a tired cry. As I carried her into the house, I sobbed with her, my high expectations spilling out with my tears. What happened to our perfect day?
When did stay-at-home moms fit in all those quality child-parent activities? I wouldn't even let myself think about my other goals to commit to a regular exercise schedule and start an at-home business. I had really been clueless about this stay-at-home-mom stuff.
Hugging my precious daughter, we rocked and sniffled together. "You're my honey-bear," I whispered, feeling the weight of her sink into me. Her eyes gently shut, and I held her until she fell back asleep in my arms. I stroked the soft hair that curled above her neck and breathed in her smell, a mixture of sweat and maple syrup. Taking a deep breath, I relaxed for the first time that day. I was there with my daughter, forgetting about my to-do list, and it felt good.
Still, it took years for me to realize that such moments were the best and far surpassed the ones I tried to invent with heart-shaped pancakes or processed cheese sculptures. The less I tried to create life's magical moments, the more I was able to notice them when they naturally happened. And they were even more delicious as surprises.

Sometimes I honestly get so caught up in life, the many, many, many things to do in life that I don't see these things.

Like Bella, she is so independant. I don't even realize how much she just does herself. Even at times when I try to help her and she tells me she can do it herself, and then really does without incident.

Or Marcus, who most of the time is driving me batty, actually does something without me telling him to. I am so used to having to hover and tell him every move to make that sometimes I find I don't notice when he actually does it.

Natalie is so helpful. She is a little bossy but over all likes to help withour complaint. Sometimes she will come in and play with her little sister and brother and I will go off and start cleaning something and don't even recognize her for the help she is actually giving me.

My children are such a blessing. I thank God daily that he picked me to be in their lives.

Some Pictures!

The Welch's

Randomness

Holy cow we have been so busy. The time is just flying by. Let's see we have football, football, football. Marcus' Jaguars team is kicking some booty this year. They are 3-0! Marcus has lost almost 15 lbs. since football started. He is very happy about that. He is still workin hard in school and loving it! All my pics of him are on Frank's phone, so I will have to add his pic's later.

Miss Natalie is enjoying Cheer. She actually has strained the muscles in her arm so she has been out this week. She's isn't happy about sitting out, but she can't hardly raise her arm so mom thinks it's best. She is all A's in school so far this year. If she even makes a B she gets all upset and says "mom I am not doing good, I am making bad grades." Somtimes I think she wants us to be mad at her for something. Silly girl. She is very happy go lucky fo the most part.

Our little Bella, with all the attitude in the world. I just thank goodness that her attitude isn't bad. Normally just the hand on the hip to talk. It's almost like there is a string attached from her mouth to her hand. If the mouth opens the hand goes on the hip. So funny. Hard not -----> to laugh sometimes. I started babysitting a little girl right at her age and they have been having lots of fun. She loves to color, paint, just about any kind of project she is up for. Her cousin's came to see us and they had fun playing also. We went to Chuck E Cheese and they had a blast. She didn't want them to go home and asks about when they are coming back almost daily.

Mr. Aden is almost 1. His birthday is alost here. He is almost walking, but doesn't want you to help him. He will just stop crawling right in the middle of the floor and stand up and try to take off. He loves to make messes. Laughs most of the time when you tell him no. Loves to play with all the kids. His new favorite toy is the red and blue car outside. He LOVES it. If he sees someone else sitting in it he will start crawling after them yelling and crying. Too Funny! Time is just flying. It seems like just last week I was stanging at Marcus' football game in labor. We will be going to Mena for his birthday. He is actually going to have his party with his cousins b/c they are all just days apart. As I sit here he is taking all the papers off my desk and throwing them in the floor. As I tell him NO he smiles at me and keeps going.

Life is good. We had been struggling for a while about looking for a new church. We have been feeling like God has been leading us somewhere else. We feel like we are needing something more. Finally we listened and what do you know God was right. :) We had an amazing service and reassurance. We are growing and listening to God. We are learning to not be ashamed to do and tell others about what God is doing in our lives. I have been led to start a new life group in NWA called NWA Christian Kids. It's a family group for all christian families to come together and fellowship and grow together in Christ. I am so proud that God has chosen little ol me. Don't ever think you aren't good enough, or why me? God knows what he is doing. I am asking for his guidance daily. He will lead me to the people he wants and those people to us. Frank got a promotion at work (well actually the just gave him the title and money to go along with what he was already doing). We weren't even expecting it. God is good and is always looking out for us. Patience is something I always talk about and I am learning all the time. It's paying off b/c this time I didn't even expect it. I am going to the specialist tomorrow to hopefully figure out what's going on with my stomach and get it fixed. I am ready to be fixed!

Enjoy Life!

Falling into Changes

It's just about Fall and the weather is perfect. Although it has rained more than normal, I have enjoyed it. So with fall coming means schedules change and things get really busy again. Which I have come to like. When things are slow it throws me off and I get lazy.

So we have football for Marcus. So far they have played and won 1 game. Last nights game got canceled due to weather. He is loving it! Has friends from school on his team. Things this year are going well for him.

Natalie is enjoying cheer. I am just glad she is having fun b/c the parents and coach have had some issues, but at last Sat. game we were able to talk to the director (which just happens to be our coach's sister) about LOTS of our concerns and they are working on making some changes. We have our fingers crossed that we will see some real cheering, actually get our uniforms in before the season is over and not have a grouchy/look at me coach. It's not about her it's about our girls!

Miss Bella is loving all the going. She likes to be on the go. If she even sees us getting clothes on or shoes on she says "what's going on mom? What are we doing? or Let's go mom, I want to go bye-bye! She even cheers with Natalie sometimes at practice. She gets to play at the park at both Marcus' and Natalie's practices and at the field where they play/cheer. She has been a happy girl. She also is becoming very artistic. She has recently colored on 2 more walls in our house. I think her daddy is about to loose it. :) She loves to write, color, paint, any kind of artistic activities she is in!

Mr. Aden is getting too big too fast. He is just this week getting 2 more teeth on the top. He seems to always get 2 at a time. He is in the "my parents or brothers and sisters can't be out of my site" stage. He will go and start playing, but if he seems one of us he gets upset. Hopefully it won't last long. He pulls up on everything. From about a week of trying it he was all bruised up b/c he always wants to stand. He is crawling everywhere. He will even get on his hands and toes and stand up on his own, he wants to walk so bad. His birthday is next month and I am betting he will be walking by then. If his big brother and sister will stop picking him up. :) We just started giving him milk and he is doing fine with it, we are also using more cup and not so much bottle. That he doesn't mind unless he is tired, then he wants the bottle.

Frank is working hard, as always. He is also doing the P90X which he is really pumped about. He is really loosing weight though and gaining muscle. It's right up his alley so he is happy. That's pretty much all I hear about. :)

I have been feeling well this week. My Dr. apt. got canceled last week. I was bummed but we all had stomach flu so I really couldn't make it. I am looking forward to going though. I actually want to find out what's going on and get it fixed. As I have said before I am tired of being sick and tired. Laundry is still kickin my booty. Have a pile sitting right here staring at me. Guess I better go get busy with the day!

Living the Dream

For Sure!

Work, 4 kids, home, school and everything that goes along with it.

My #1 Dream is to see God!

I often in the past had to make myself slow down to fit God in. With my growth, strength and patience I have notice in time that I don't have to fit him in.

For 1 he is always there and 2 I listen always.

I am so thankful for growth and his guidance. Through him I grow daily, I learn daily and I live daily! He is always on my mind in everything I do. From feeling guilty about my road rage to yelling at the kids to singing praise while doing laundry.

I love that I am free to live it! Thank you Lord!

Woo What a Weekend.....Tuesday Oops!

So Monday was Labor Day and we were out having fun, so it's Tuesday and here's a review of our long weekend.

Friday we were off to Mena for a few short days. Hung out with all the grandma's and aunts and uncles. Had lots of fun!

Saturday was jam packed! First off to see mamaw and nana, then back to grandma's to go to the fair. The kids rode rides and saw all the farm animals. I stayed at nana's and me and Hannah got all the good ready for Jamie's baby shower.
The shower was fun and my One and Only hubby won the baby changing contest. All clothes and diaper on the right way in 57 seconds. And no he wasn't even rough with the baby.
Then the family went down to grandpa's grave and put the headstone down. We sand the Lords Prayer and talked about ways we remember our Po.

Then Sunday was a run, run, run day. Got up, started packing, went and loaded the new furniture we got from Nana, then back to grandma's to finish packing and head to papaw Jim's for a cookout. The cookout was fun. Marcus caught 4 fish in the pond, Natalie and Bella played with all their cousins and Aden was passed from person to person so he wouldn't knock anything down at papaws and break it.

Then by 3 we were headed home! It was a long trip. I never like the trips when we all aren't together in the same vehicle. Although Natalie was good company when she was awake. :)

Home to unpack and go grocery shopping! FINALLY!

Momma loves the Lovin!

I always wondered what do those parents do to those kids who are so lovey? Their kids want their parents to hold them and give hugs and give kisses. My oldest 4 just weren't fans. They would give hugs or give kisses, but man they wanted to be put down so they could run. No cuddling, unless they were already asleep.

My little Aden is the love bug. He loves his mommy! I am SO enjoying him loving on me and wanting me to hold him and when he just lays his little head on my chest, or opens that slobbery mouth to give kisses it just melts my heart!

Maybe he just knew that he is the baby and the last baby, so give mom some love!

Just Me Being Goofy!

I found this fun website were you can add fun effects to your pictures. This was fun for me! Check out my funny pics!

Too Funny!

What a Weekend Monday!

Frank and I both said last night, Man does it really have to be Sunday night already. :)


We had a fun filled weekend. Our baby boy is trying to walk, he has 2 teeth and keeps falling with all his toys because he wants to stand up with them.


Friday night mom, Natalie, Bella and dad went to the Elm Tree Fun night for Natalie's school. The girls had fun and got lots of goodies! It was nice to just have a night with the girls. Marcus and Aden hung out with Mamaw at home.


Saturday morning me, Mamaw and Natalie got up and went to some awesome garage sales (haven't got to do that in forever). We had lots of fun. Then went home and showed everyone our goodies we had found. That made the kids day. :) Mamaw loaded up and went back home. Dad and Marcus headed down to Springdale for the Ozone Block Party for some games and a concert by The Wedding. They had fun! It was a beautiful day for being outside. When they got home we cleaned up the house and all started cooking for our company! The Keeton's came over to hang out and us mom's talked about our Christian Kids life group! 3 1/2 hours of fun. The kiddo's played outside, played with Elvis and ran all over the house being silly. All had fun!


Sunday we got up and got everyone ready for a late service at church. Had a great service!! Looking forward to God's leading and blessings. Then we spent the rest of the day being lazy at home. I think I took like 3 mini naps. :)

Weekends are always great when you have blessing, friends and family time!

Many Blessings

This week has been a roller coaster. So much going on mentally and physically.

I have still been struggling with the stomach junk. Went to the Dr. on Monday and he is fixing me up! Lots of prayers and healing happening already! Thank you Lord!

Marcus us still loving school. That is very much a blessing. This child has loathed (?) school from Kindergarten. Actual fighting and all involved in getting him to go and participate. Just years of prayers. They are paying off in God's good time. Middle School of all times (what I thought would be the worst)(on ye of little faith). He is loving it, getting involved in everything possible, going to bed without us having to tell him, getting up in the mornings and getting ready without war. Like I said an absolute blessing!! So proud of him. Also he is going on an overnight Science field trip and has been asking Frank if he could go too. We all just found out yesterday that Frank is able to take off work and go. A blessing as well!! Thank you God for giving Frank a job that allows him to have the family time we have!!

Natalie was a little bummed this week b/c her Cheer practice got canceled due to rain. :( But her school carnival is tonight and we will be having some mommy daughter time to go to that. She is happy about it. She is a pretty happy girl. Not to much really gets her down.

Little miss Bella has had an exciting week. Since she didn't get much while the older kids were getting all their back to school stuff, this week her mamaw gave her some money and she got to go shopping. We got her 2 new outfits that are too cute, and yesterday at Sam's she got a wipe away ABC book. Came home and did almost the whole book. She loves writing and coloring!

And OH Mister Aden. Gettin so big. He is pulling up on everything. Finally got 2 teeth to come through. Loves to JUMP! He will be walking before long. Always very happy. LOVES to be around any of his brothers and sisters. His favorite place is Marcus' room. :)

Just saying Thank you to our Awesome God for all the blessings in my life. Love my life, love my family, love my God!
