My Kids!!

 Here is Dakodah. She was born on December 23, 2011. She is such a girl too. Loves shoes, throwing fits, and pestering her brother.

 Garrett is now five and still loves everything his dad does. Shooting guns and bows and their new love blow guns. He starts kindergarten in the fall!

They are the light of my life though. I dont know what i would do without them.

2014

Its amazing how long it has been since i have been on here to share and show off my family. So much changes so fast and you get so caught up in life and next thing you know 4 years have passed. I can not even believe how quickly kids grow up how many jobs have failed me and how lucky I am.

I have been babysitting now since Garrett was 6 months old. I can not believe i am actually a stay at home mom! It is great and a curse it feels like. I have always worked since i moved to college and most of the time 2 jobs or school and one job. Then I find myself a mom and feeling like i need still bring in money so I decided to watch kids. I thought hey how hard can this be. I worked with autistic children i can do this. Now I feel like I have lost myself in the process. It is so amazing how little people think your time is worth and how they don't think you need family time since you are home all day with your kids.

Now I am a mother of 2 and feeling the real need to discover what being  a real good mom intels. My kids needs are put last because i have other kids who need attention to. I have recently decided to cut back and only watch kids part time. I am so nervous about not having that income and so relieved to not have the burden of it anymore. Such mixed feelings and so much anxiety but also so much hope that I can be a better mom. Its almost like being a new mom all over again. I hope it makes me a better wife as well.

So here is to a new beginning! :)

My Biker Boys! :)

So Garrett got His first Harley! He wants to be just like dad and grandpa! He loves this bike so much.


This is the only time I could get him to really look at me! He is turning into a stink!!

Me and Rick got our first Harley too. Dont worry I have only rode once but he promises once he has more practice I can ride!

He is excited even if he doesnt look like it. Isn't he such a stud!

Long Time...

So lets talk about a lazy blogger! Wow so I haven't posted in at least seven months. We moved into our new house the end of September. We love it! It was a work in progress but we finally got the upstairs ready to move in the day before Garretts birthday! I can not believe he is one now and a little shit! He has been walking since October and his new favorite thing to do is jump. We took his bike outside last weekend when we tarted cleaning the yard and now we can not ever get him to come in the house. Me and Rick just had our three year anniversary. Time goes to fast! I am still babysitting in the day and working at Ross at night and weekends. I feel like i never have time to do anything! Well I promise to have pictures up as soon as my computer will work long enough!

Family Pictures

We went to Monroe this last weekend and had Amy Moore do some pictures for us. They turned out so good. I do have to say that Garrett loves to get his picture taken and always looks so cute. Here are just a few of the ones she took.

Pirates

Grandma and Grandpa have the funnest pirates and ship that Garrett loves to play with. He is very content just to sit and play. Now that he can crawl he doesn't sit still long enough to play so I can take pictures. Here are just a couple of him holding still and playing.

Sleepy Puppy

I got home from work one afternoon and put the baby down for a nap and turned the tv on. I decided I wanted some ice water so I went upstairs to get one and came down and the puppy was asleep on ricks pillow. I thought it was very cute so I had to take some pictures. He loved to have afternoon naps with me when I don't have to work at night. He is such a cuddle bug when he is tired!







He wasn't happy when the flash woke him up!

Biker Boys

Garrett and Dustin in their Harley attire. Grandma and Grandpa went to Yellowstone and brought Dust and Garrett back their own dew rags. Dustin gave Garrett his old vest since he got a new one and we took some pictures down by the pond with the mini chopper.

Sexy Boys!

Puddle Jumping

Garrett loves the water. We were outside and Grandpa just washed his Bike and I couldn't keep Garrett out of the water so finally I just let him go. He was having so much fun I just let him play until it got to cold outside!

I'm not sure what he's doing here

He's my little water baby

Day At The Zoo

It took a little talking Rick into going but we decided to take Garrett to the zoo. It was very fun but very hot. Garrett thought it was pretty cool for the first thirty minutes then was pretty bored but I wanted to keep going.

The tortoise which was huge and made miss my smokey!

Rick and G by the tigers cage but I couldn't ever get him in the picture!

We got to watch the elephant show very first which was the most fun and Garrett was most interested in. He just kept starring at them. It was pretty cute.

We made sure to get a picture by the penguins for grandma Walker since they are her favorite. Garrett was still happy here.

We took Garretts army bear uncle Kyle gave him to take pictures and send to kyle. Garrett misses kyle. Me and Rick do too. G was spoiled and got a monkey and snow leopard from the gift shop. He always gets something but that's just cause we love him.

Update

I hate to blog without pics but I just wanted to do a quick update. Garrett is seven months now and will be crawling in days. he gets up on his knees and hands and tries so hard. He loves to stand next to the couch by himself and will be getting teeth number 3 and 4 before to long. Me and Rick are doing great. I don't work full time at Ross anymore I nanny my neighbors three girls which I love. Rick has been staying busy with work and his Holster business and hopefully soon we will be into a new house!

Six Month Photos

Here are a couple of Garretts pictures I just got taken. He smiled the entire time and was so good. They turned out so good!

Easter Afternoon at Grandma Thielens

We had our usual Easter egg hunt and grandma and grandpa Thielens house. They hide money in the eggs and Garrett got five dollars in quarters and a one dollar bill! Time to open him a savings account! We had lunch and hung out most the afternoon. It was very fun but I still miss the egg hunt in the front yard at moms! Garrett loves his great grandpa Thielen.
