Our new house

Today we got the wonderful news that the bank finally accepted our offer on this house. It was a home that was being sold as a short sale and so the seller was kindof out of the picture and we had to deal with his bank. They took almost 2 months to finally accept our offer. That was after 2 rejections and counter offers. Our patience was seriously being tested. We have a short 15 day escrow and LOTS to do in that time. Praise God for this blessing. We would not have been able to own a home like this without God's hand in it. Thank you Lord!!!

Potty training time

We have officially started the potty training process. I fully believe in not rushing kids into potty training and waiting for them to come to it on their own. We bought Sarah this ridiculous but cute pink princess "throne" that plays a song as a reward. The first time she experienced the song, she freaked out and jumped off the potty mid-stream. I thought, "Great, she's traumatized now." I was wrong and she enjoys the music now. I'm not quite sure where she picked up the habit of reading on the toilet... Everytime she thinks she needs to use the toilet, she grabs a book. It's the funniest thing.

First peek at Baby

Today we got our first peek at our little one. I'm about 15 weeks now and almost far enough along to see what it is. Yes, I'm impatient and can't wait for the "surprise" factor. I like to know as soon as I can what I'm loving. My next appt is Oct 23.

Wow...time flies

Well, it's been way to long since I posted anything on here. There's been lots going on. The school year started and then we switched schools. All the kids are back at Foursquare Christian School. What a blessing to be back there. Mackenzie was moved to a 7th grade class which was kindof cool.

We are still in the process of buying a house. We found the perfect house for our family and we are now dealing with the bank on a short sale. The seller accepted our offer and now we are waiting on the seller's bank to accept the offer. Hopefully we will know something soon.

I still haven't been to the baby Dr. yet but I'm a pro at this point :) I'm a little over 12 weeks now along with my sister.

I've totally been neglecting my soapmaking. The FO's I'm using are a bit strong for my pregnant senses lately. I did however manage to make a beautiful batch of Grass Stain and my husband...yes my husband... made a super yummy batch of Chocolate Peppermint. It smells amazing. I need to order some fragrances for the upcoming holidays. I will gladly take any suggestions.

Anyways, that's kindof what's been going on in my life lately. Hopefully I will be better about more frequent posts.

Makeup...Oh my!

So this is what happens when an almost 2 year old finds her big sissy's play makeup stash. It was the funniest thing to discover. She was so proud of her beautiful face. I absolutely had to share this...

Home from Texas

Last Thursday I flew out to Dallas, Texas for an Advocare Success School training. It was incredible. I met so many new and wonderful people. I learned more about the products we sell and the wonderful opportunity I have for our family.

It was super hard to leave the fam for four days but daddy did such a great job. I safely made it home late, late Sunday night.

My Not so Little Secret

We found out that we are having another baby!! And I will be an auntie at the same time too! I can't wait. I am so blessed. I am due around April 3.
