The not so happy ending!!

Gosh, where to start? Its been soo long since I posted and soo much has changed in my life. In May of this year I had finally had enough of the fighting, arguing, and being hit on my boyfriend. So now he is my ex. I packed me and the kids stuff and got out of his house as quick as I could. I moved in with a friend of mine for a lil while and then got my own place. I couldn't afford it on my own so it didnt last long at all. We moved back to the city we moved from and I got us an old mill house. Well that didnt make me happy either cause old houses come with lots of old problems. My ex and I still can't get along, and as early as a month ago he put his hands on me again. Police said there wasnt enough evidence to charge him with anything, Bullshit! Because of all the drama that was going on with us living in the same town I moved to Opelika Alabama with my kids. I am currently staying with my stepsister and her kids. Its waay too crowded for me and I really hope i can find a place up this way soon. I know I surely wont be goin back to Lagrange. My ex took the tahoe that he bought me away from me and gave it to his new girlfriend. He wont pay child support or anything. He is not the kinda father or person i ever ezpected him to be but i guess thats how life goes. The family and children services here are suppose to be helping me in lots of ways so hopefully they do and I can hold my head high again and get back on my feet.

Catchin up-

Soo, I failed to keep up with the blog, again.. I really need to so I can document our lives but I just never take the time to do it. Plus when u have an almost 1 year old who is constantly into everything its hard for me to take the time!

I cant believe that exactly one year ago yesterday was my due date to have Aiden. He, of course, had other plans and didn't come til a week later, by induction. He has such a big personality for such a little boy. He is not walking yet but I won't be long. He can get wherever he wants to, though. His temper has sure enough came out the last few weeks. He can get mad soo quick and starts forcing his body back and forth. He was banging his head on everything but I think he's outgrown that already. He is really a mess and I know I am going to have my hands full with him. We are having him an Elmo themed pool party next Saturday here at home. We are working on getting the pool cleaned and the chemicals right, but me and Fred dont know anything about pools so we have to learn!

Nathan is playing baseball and really doesnt like it. I guess it is pretty boring just standing in the outfield waiting for something to happen. Plus he was hit by the ball a few times and that scared him a little. I think after this we will stick to basketball and football!

I start my first job in a long time tomorrow. I took tests for the Census Bureau back in Feb but never heard back. Until last week. And I got the position of crew leader so thats even better! It's only part time and temporary but I am still looking forward to it. Better than nothing and it will look good on my resume! Pretty dang good pay too. I'm super excited but nervous to be leaving Aiden. I have never been away from him long at all and have severe anxiety when I am away from him. I will be okay though, just need to think about makin this money!!

Peace out everyone!

Playin in the creek!

As a child me and my cousins, friend, brother, really anyone we could find, loved to play outside. We had a BEAUTIFUL day today so me and the boys, and my niece, Bianca, took full advantage of it. We walked the land alot and up and down the creek. I took some nice pics of the kids. I'm gonna try to do something with pics for MIL but more of that later. I fixed the kids a picnic and they went and ate by the creek on a blanket! Then they played their hearts out all day!! They actually ended up having two picnics! Then this evening we grilled steaks out. Mmm... Nathan had to make sure he watered his cabbage plant, I just have to make sure he doesn't over water it! This yard woulda been my dream as a kid and they are sure to make soo many good memories here!

Gosh its been awhile!

me and Aiden 2/2010

Love him!

Christmas morning!

these crazy boys!!

Nathan and his cake that granny made!

So its been waay too long since I updated! But my kids, house, bf, and everything else that comes up have kept me busy lately. I can't say that the last couple of months have been great. I've been going through some things and it seems to be a neverending cycle of the same ole thing, day after day. Gotta do something to get myself outta this funk!! I am really hoping that once the nice weather gets here to stay then I will have plenty to do!!

My kids are doing great!! I can't believe that Aiden will be 1 in 7 weeks!! Gosh how time flys!! Seems like it was just yesterday we took him home for the first time!! He is such a silly baby, always laughing, loves to play, loves to be outside, loves bathtime. He loves his big brother, too. He always goes in Nathans room while he is at school in his walker and just hollars!! Its soo cute! He is a very lazy baby though! He scoots where he wants to go, rolls all over the place, sits up good, but will not get up on his knees to crawl. He is perfectly content pulling hisself all over the house!! Nathan turned 9 in Feb and I have to say that the little boy is starting to think he is waay to grown and I am not liking it at all!! I have NEVER had any problems outta him but yesterday his teacher called saying he was clowning around and playing a lot at school. Needless to say he is on punishment and can't do anything for a few days. No playing, no psp, no ps2, Nada... He just started playing baseball a few weeks ago but if he doesn't straighten up I'll take him out. Might waste my $50 but gotta teach him a lesson somewhere. Sometimes it sucks having to be the disiplinarian but someones gotta do it!!

I had Nathan a birthday party/sleepover for his birthday and it was super crazy. Had about 15 kids and about ten of them spent the night. I always had him a sleepover at the apartment and invited most of the same kids that came every year. This year we did have a few new ones. I think having the sleepover was easier at the apartment than it was here at our house!! Maybe because the apartment was soo small and they really didnt have much room to do anything. But these boys wore me out this year. They were running all over the place, loud, and they stayed awake til like 4 am!! Not sure if I will do this again!! They really made a mess and drove me crazy!!

I hope I get better at doing this blogging. I love reading others blogs just never take the time to do my own!!

Where does the time go?

Nathan & Bianca on Halloween!Aiden 7 months old!!

Thanksgiving, love this shirt!!
At the parade!

I can't believe its been almost 2 months since I updated and our life is completely diff than it was then. We finally got moved and have settled down here pretty good. I am absolutely LOVING it. To go from that teeny tiny apartment to ALL this space has been crazy!! But crazy in the best way possible!! Our house is perfect!! I have had to get used to having this much space to clean up but I wouldnt have it any other way..and i have a dishwasher now which I swear was my DREAM COME TRUE!! Seriously..it was my only must have for our house! The kids have adjusted well. Nathan did start a new school but he had previously went to this school so really it was an old school. And the bus comes like 30 mins later than it did at the apartment so thats 30 extra mins of sleep I am lovin!! And get this, the bus turns around in the cul de sac b4 it comes here so we see and hear it first soo....I dont have to stand in the cold with him and wait on the bus!! Yay!! He just runs out there when we see it coming back down the hill!! Aiden is gettin soo big and sayin dada and bubba like crazy..still waitin on the mama but it'll happen and then it will NEVER stop!! I got him a walker to try out on the hardwood floors and as soon as he figured it out he hasn't stopped goin all over the house!! Hes soo cute tryin to get into ANYTHING he sees!! And I swear if its something he really isn't suppose to have he wants it the most!! Remote, phone, anything in his reaching distance!! I had to build a barricade around the christmas tree cause he kept gettin in it. Now he can get real close but he cant touch it!! He only has his 2 bottom teeth right now but hes still teething like crazy and I'm expecting to see more anyday now!! Well thanks for reading and I will try to do better!!

Aidens first tooth!

His first tooth has finally broke through @ 5 1/2 months. He's been tearing his hands up for weeks now and it finally came through! Before I know it he's gonna have a mouth full and wanna tear up some food!! Aww!!

Getting ready for the big move!!

I am soo excited to say that tomorrow at 3 pm we will own our first home! I am soo happy and excited and more than ready to get outta this too small apartment!! I have been soo busy trying to buy everything and find everything so Ill have it when we get ready to move in. We want to paint the walls first and have laminate floors put in the living room then we can move in! Hopefully by the end of next week we will have it done!! I will be moving some stuff in tomorrow, as soon as we get the keys, just so we have some room to walk here without tripping over boxes!! I sooooo can't wait!!
