Moving???

Wait didn't we just move?? Are we crazy!!
Well, we did back in November move, we are in military housing, but its off-base housing. We haven't really liked it as much as we thought, I mean its is really nice and basically brand new, but the street we live on is really busy. A lot of the younger couples live here, they are always racing down the streets, and bumping the music really loud. it is getting annoying. plus we don't really have a yard for Marek to play in, and I miss having a back yard, so we have put in a request from housing to move back onto the base.
 I am very excited for it, because we have a few friends that live on base, and it will be super close for Deon so he can come home for lunch saving us money & I love whenever I get to see him for a little bit. :)
Today housing offered us a house on base. Its a 4 bedroom which I am excited about, but the house is much much smaller than the house we are currently in ( Our place now is just over 2000sqft, and the house on base is around 1000 sqft!- the house in Twin Falls was 1400 sqft) and only a 1 car garage. So...we will be down sizing some stuff, which actually makes me feel good! lol. I like having minimal clutter.Might be planning a yard sale, but I will have to maybe borrow a friends yard to do it in since we currently dont have a yard at this place!
Our pre inspection on our current house is Monday morning, if that all goes well, which it should... we have only lived in this place for about 5 months. When they go ahead and set up a 30 day move out date. Which will probably be at the end of May. I am excited and overwhelmed at the same time. I always think we don't have much until I start going threw the rooms and not to mention my food storage stuff! I guess I will just start looking for free boxes on Craigslist. We wanted to hurry and move before I got much more along in this pregnancy.:)
Wish us luck! We will need it!

then & now

I decided to start documenting the differences in the belly between then with Marek & now with Mackenzie

here is the last weeks leading up to now :) 

I will then compare at...25 wks, 30wks, 33, 36 & 38 :) cant wait to see!

crafts..

Ideas are flowing in the baby girl department...
Like this adorable bedding... If only I could find all the fabrics to make it on my own.
So Cute !!!

Or this one...way adorable..!

I also Love these curtains!

I wanna make some crib sheets that way they can make them the way I want :) now if I can only find the right fabric for a decent price..maybe this or this or this one.

Plus there are a few crafts I am considering..but do I have the Guts?

:)

23 wks

My belly is growing slower than when I was pregnant with mr m. But it's slowly growing. I am still fitting into my favorite jeans which I take as a good sign ;)
Which I am tall, so the weight is still gaining but doesn't show the same as a shorter person.
Little Mackenzie is very active which I love. It's my favorite part of pregnancy and I missed it after I had mr m. She is usually the most active around 830 when I am laying in bed ;)

New Ride

Meet the newest addition to our love obsession with Dodge!

We were not planning to buy a new car the other night, we were just getting prices. But we ended up coming home with a new Dodge Durango Citadel.

It has everything, but my favorite part is the Navigation! I feel like I can get anywhere here in California now :)

I am so very very grateful that we were able to get this. We as you know had a 2002 Cadillac Escalade, but it was getting up there on the mileage, and we were fearful that it was only a matter of time until something very expensive broke. So we were keeping our minds open to getting something that was going to grow with our family and that we would be driving for the next 10+ years. 

and with a great warranty. 

I am very happy for the new car ( not the payment, LOL) but we know it was an investment into our future.

Everyone always knows us for buying a new car. I think this is #3 since I got pregnant with Marek, but I can assure you this will be the last. 

Happy Friday Everyone! I hope You have great weekend plans. Ours include posting things we don't need onto Craigslist for sale, possible maintenance on the pick up, going to do our registry at babies r us & hitting the swimming pool!

Success!

I got Mareks soon to be new room completely emptied! With Deons help on a few heavy things! So now he needs a dresser for his new room, and I am going today to buy a water proof mattress pad for the bed.
Photos coming soon ;)

changes at our house...

So with a little girl being added to our family some room changes are being made, which is a lot of work. Marek is currently in the smaller of the two bedrooms, so we have decided to move him over to the bigger room where he will start sleeping in a big big bed. and then we are going to give all Mareks furniture to Mackenzie and set up the crib in the smaller bed room. SO  with that being said, I now am moving all of the office and craft stuff out of the bigger room and man do we have a lot of crap! lol. Its mostly navy papers and binders, but some times wonder if we really need it all. I am sure I will be going threw it even more and discarding stuff. So I have Mareks soon to be new room about 75% cleared out, but I am having a hard to trying to decide where everything is going to go. I figured I would set up the desk in our room but we don't really have room. So now I am trying to figure out a configuration and put it all in our extra living room space. lol. When it is all done I will for sure post photos. After all the rooms are switched I will be starting to sew, I have fabric to make Marek a new bed quilt. and then I also wanna do some curtains. and finally start hanging up photos in his room :) after that is done I will move on to Mackenzie's bedding and curtains.... see what I mean when I say its busy over here !
