My new Hobby

Thanks to my mother in law I am addicted!! We get together and we make jewelry! The "bead lady" as I call her just lives down the street from me. She has amazing things and for super good deals. I just went yesterday and got some stuff to make two necklaces. I talked to the "bead lady" and I can invite some friends/family for a couple of hours there and she will help us put necklaces, watches whatever together. Anyone interested? It's so fun!

go to this site, click on supplies and then bag of beads to see some of what she has. It's NOTHING compared to what is there.

let me know if you are interested and i will set it up.

Wednesday- a lazy day

Today was Brad's day off so of course he didnt want to do anything. Which I can understand. And that's what we did all day, nothing. We didnt even get dressed! It was nice for a while and then I really wanted out of the house. But that didnt happen. I made dinner and had just gotten it on the table when there was a knock at the door. It was the primary president giving me the manual and info for my primary class I will be teaching. The kitchen was messy because I had just made dinner and of course, I didnt have a bra on!! And when you open the door to our apartment you are right there in the kitchen. (why I want a house! but cant focus on that for now) So yeah, i should probably always put a bra on right?
So Brad has tomorrow off too and I want to do something out of the house! We'll figure something out.

A Beautiful day in the Adams' hood

Today was great! Got to sleep in until 10 thanks to a wonderful husband who didnt have to go to work until 1 and got up with the kiddos. When I woke up the sun was shining, the kiddos were happy and I didnt have a migraine at all!! So I cleaned up the house because it was a disaster from just one day being down and out. When I clean I love turning up good songs and singing along. SO we danced around a bit, opened up the windows to have fresh air and then the kiddos went right down for a nap. I got a litle nap too and then we went to the park! And Beth and Bethany came too. It was nice to be out in the sun (when it was shining) and to get out of the house. Then we came home and had dinner and we took Beth and Bethany to the bead lady. That's what i refer to her as, "bead lady" It is heaven!! I got stuff to make 2 different necklaces. This place is amazing. SO much fun. But I really need help to start the necklace, I am clueless of how to put it together. I will learn!!
Hunter was in heaven at the bead lady's house. Her kiddos were outside and Hunter had his boots on and was jumping in puddles. Then they went in the backyard where they have two lab puppies!! So i got to shop for beads and HUnter got to play. WHen he left, he asked to go back to "beeds!" but it sounds like "beez" .
The kids went to bed fast and without any tears!! And tomorrow and thursday brad has off!! YAY for good days! Makes me very excited for summer to come, whenever that will come!

Kiddos are both asleep..ahhhh

I guess there is something about my biological clock that wants another baby once the last baby turns 1. With Hunter we did get pregnant and then miscarried only to 3 months later get pregnant with Gookie! And it was really for the best. For a long while before she was even one, I did feel like there was another baby spirit making sure I knew that there was another baby. But it is definately too soon right now. I know there will be more babies, well I really hope so. I want to have as many kids as we can (physically, mentally and financially). And when the time is right, we will know. That's what is so great about having the spirit in your life. You get to hear little whisperings about everything in life and having a baby is between the dad, mommy and God.
So yes there may be a little baby waiting to come to our family, but it isnt time now. Some little helpful hints that the time isnt now, being without brad during sacrament meeting and having both the kids. Oh man. They arent bad, but its like things happen all at once. This last week I had to grab Hunter from escaping the bench and turn in time to catch Gookie from falling off the bench. Luckily a young woman saw my need for help and came and sat with me. Brad came from work a few minutes later. Also, Brad is working nights and it is a wake up call when I dont have him. Not that I cant do it, but I sure miss the other part of my tag team! Brad is so helpful when he is home, maybe I just took him for granted.
Today I have had a major migraine. I havent had one for a long time, so I wasnt used to the pain, it really took me by surprise today. My wonderful husband let me sleep most of the morning before he had to leave for work. I am just tired and hurting today. I feel like the worst mom ever! No fun, not chipper and I'm not singing today! It doesnt help that it is cold and rainy and I know we need out of the house.
But I did make sure to do a little family home evening and we did sing some songs there. ANd you know what, that felt really great! ANd tomorrow I hope i feel better and we can do something fun! Even if it is too cold for outside!!
So Hunter finally went down (not peaceably) at 10:30 and real housewives of new jersey is on (my guilty pleasure). Brad will be done with work in an hour and tomorrow is a new day.

More Pictures

Pictures of our kiddos!

And I mean ALOT of pictures.
Let me tell you how wonderful, happy and fun my kiddos are. They make me laugh! Hunter is such a helper and growing up so fast! He is imaginative, sweet and just so happy. He is such a good brother and is sweet and gentle to all babies. He loves to be outside and play and play. I just LOVE him.
Gookie, yes it's a nick name, is such a spaz! When ever she does something totally crazy Brad just looks at me and says "she is YOU!!" She is so funny and does crazy stuff. I dont remember Hunter being spazzy like this at such a young age, I remember him being happy like this. It's so fun to see their differences and similarities and love them for who they are! I love being their Momma!
Oh, and Gookie's crazy face she is doing is the result of when we say "CHEESE!"





























Yes, Brad is making doofus faces on purpose. Every picture I take with him in it he is making silly faces. Atleast we have good wedding pictures!

Day 2

Gookie did not sleep well last night AT ALL. Which means I didnt either. Today she was miserable and all i could do was sit and hold her. Luckily Brad had a little break from work and came home and I got to shower. Then Beth came over and Brooke and I were off to the hospital to try again for a urine analysis. I just went through the ER and they did cath her and got what they needed. And she screamed and was restless in pain the whole 2 hours we were there. She does have a UTI but it isnt like a bad infection. She also has a ear infection. Why wasnt that picked up on from the pediatrician? NOT HAPPY WITH HIM. They gave her a big anti biotic shot that they said would really help her. We came home and she was just exhuasted from not sleeping ever. When brad got home from work i took a two hour nap and woke up to her actually on the floor playing and smiling! So that is a big improvement. The anti biotics she is on now will battle both UTI and ear infection. She has been sleep for two hours and already is doing much better than last night. I am pooped and need to go to bed. I am kind of waiting for the stink bomb cloud to clear that brad left in the bedroom. He never reads the blog so i can say that! Also he said i was the devil because i am growing horns. I have like 4 HUGE zits on my face. So that is my revenge.

the weekend

Friday Brad had off. So we went to spend time with Memaw. It was the first "warm" day in a long time and we spent as much of it outside as we could. Hunter LOVES going to memaw's and got to play in the dirt and ride the four wheeler. He was in heaven and I was introduced to making bracelets!!
Saturday the Adams' family all went to dinner to celebrate Mother's day. Hunter wanted to go to Memaw's so badly. he even tried recruiting all the other cousins by saying to them "want to go to Memaw's house?" so when dinner was over, all the grandkids cried because they thought they were going to MeMaw's house!!
Mother's day I was able to sleep in and Brad cleaned the whole house and then had to go to work. I love being a mom!! And i love my mom!
Monday brad had off too and we went to Memaw's house. It was warm again and he played outside and played with cousins. We got to do some more jewelry making and brad got to deal with all the kids. All last night i kept dreaming about beads, i think i am addicted and cant wait for brad's first paycheck!
Today was a yucky, cold and windy day, and Brad's last day off for the week. We slept horribly as Gookie was up late and crabby, and at some point Hunter climbed into bed with us and kicked all night. Ba and Ba watched Hunter for us while we took Gookie to the dr and has another UTI.Thanks to them, Hunter had a fun day and got to play in the park. WHen we picked him up at said "Mom!!That was fun! I played at the park with Ba!" We had to go to the hospital for them to collect her urine for a analysis. SHe was miserable and they said we could take her home and just bring in the bag once she had gone. On the way home she threw up everywhere! And of course the bag leaked and we didnt get a urine sample. So when i took her back tonight they said to come back tomorrow and the idea of doing it all again tomorrow is maddening and exhausts me! I was lucky to have Brad come with me today and for all of his help. I have really been spoiled by having these days off.
Gookie is miserable and it is so sad when she is such a happy girl. This picture just desribes her! I wanted brad to take a picture of her because she was SOOO tired and was falling asleep with this funny scowl. And the minute he took the picture her face went from scowl to this! She is too funny! Cant wait for her to get back to feeling happy again
