Sanity!

Lately I have been feeling a little over whelmed, It seems like if it's not one thing it's another. We have so much stuff going on in the Hover house that it would drive anyone crazy! Heath has been leaving around 6:00 or so in the morning only to return around 10:00 pm or later. So these days I have been pulling mommy/daddy duty all by myself plus trying to keep this mess of a house in order. Some days it goes smooth and other days I want to rip my hair out and scream! I have also been feeling like I am a rag that everyone is pulling in different directions, mommy I need this, mommy I am hungry, mommy I need that, mommy she is stealing my toys, wife I need clothes washed and lunches to take to work (this would be okay if I had time to go to the store and buy groceries, but lets face it bringing three small children in a store to buy food is not exactly the funniest trip)and these are just to name a few! Sometimes I just want to put the world on hold and take a breather or two and then return to this circus. Do not get me wrong I love every minute of it (well maybe not every minute) but It is the life that we choose and I know that I can handle it or I would not be given it.. But sometimes this mommy NEEDS a brake before she brakes....

Picture Perfect!

 I have been waiting for these lovely frames for a while and I can tell you it as been worth the wait! I am in love with  The Organic Bloom picture frames, they are not just your ordinary frames they add some life to your walls... Here is a little sneak peek at what they look like on the the wall with amazing pictures of the kids from In Full Bloom Photography...

Allergy Specialist

Adalynn finally seen the Allergy Specialist on Monday. She has been having problems with Milk, Corn, Potatoes and really bad eczema. She would brake out into rashes and her nose would run like crazy along with her eyes. The poor thing just looked miserable, so we talked with our family doctor and he said it was time for her to see a Specialist. Mommy was very busy Monday morning so NaNa and Addy had some bonding time and went to see Doctor Kokan. They tested her that morning for all of the above allergies and the little stinker is not allergic to a single thing! Don't get me wrong that is great news but now we are back to square one as to why she is acting like that. The doctor did say that she just may have very sensitive skin and any kind of perfume or candle could trigger these reactions. They also tested  her to see if she was allergic to Cows and Peanut Butter but those tests won't be back for awhile. Until then we will try to keep the house as fragrance free as possible...

Happy 40th Birthday!

Mess with the bull you get the horns

Lately Orion has turned into quite the aggressive little boy. He reminds us of a raging bull, he puts his head down cocks it to one side, lifts one eye brow, gets this expression on his face and you can almost see steam coming out of his nostrils... then he charges head first. He does this to everything including his sister. It is one amusing site.

Quote for the week

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go, I will

Shopping

So, I really do not like to grocery shop..  I dread the day(s) I have to go shopping and try to put if off for as long as possible. There is no fun part of it and to come up with different meal ideas is not my thing. I have tried too shop many different ways but I always go back to the same things over and over again.. I am not a "list" type of person all though I probably should be. This would probably relieve some of the wondering  that I do and cut down my trip time. There is nothing like spending and hour and half to two hours walking around a store thinking your buying something good only to get to the check out and put your items up on the belt to find that you have bought the same exact items that you just bought your previous trip..  I really need a grocery shopping 101 class if they have those. Maybe over time I will grow to like you but for now I despise you grocery shopping!

Four Months

Signey Reese

The littlest Hover is four months... It's hard to believe that Signey is four months and growing fast! Today we had her four month check-up and shots. The doctor said she is perfect and  to keep doing what we are doing. Signey is reaching all her four month milestones which include laughing, playing with her hands, noticing her bottle, playing with toys and lifting her head just to name a few.Today we also got the okay to go ahead and try rice cereal and stage one foods! Look out Signey you are in for a real treat.

Happy Mother's Day



 What a wonderful Mother's day I had with Heath and the kids! First we went out to a nice lunch with Heath's parents. Then we did a little retail therapy after that we came home and worked on the yard and enjoyed the fresh air with the kids! Heath planted the two huge pumpkin patches in the backyard and the kids played in the dirt... I hope that everyone enjoyed there Mother's day as much as I did!

Sweet TEA!!

Heath got me a Keurig for Christmas and I really have not used it much until now. Thanks to the option of brewing ice tea, I am now an addict. Just add some ice to a cup and walla scrumptious sweet tea! This is Mommy's little cup of peace.



LOVE!
