This is us! Jared, Stefanie, Anna and Aiden! Anna is 4 and Aiden is 2, time flies so fast! We're doing our best to enjoy life and take every obstacle head on! :) I'm hoping to have this blog be about all the happy things in our life and keep it mostly positive! Obviously, we have things in our lives that aren't so great, but I'll do my best to keep this as uplifting as possible ;)

I guess I should update....









It's been a while since I've written anything, so I guess I'd better write something! lol. Let's see...Aiden can now drive and Anna just moved out last week....oh wait, I guess it hasn't been THAT long haha. About a month ago we got a new car, yay!! Our Ford Escort was just getting too small for us! Well, especially me. The kids were a little crowded in the back seat and it wasn't always easy to fit everything we needed into that car. So we looked a couple places and ended up getting an '05 Mazda Tribute from CarMax. We traded our Escort in towards the purchase of our new one. It's an SUV and I totally love it! I love all the space it has in there, it's so fantastic, soo much better than our other car! So we've been pretty excited about that. Not a whole lot else has been happening with us. For Easter this past Sunday, we spent it with Jared's family and we did an egg hunt for Anna in their backyard, she totally loved it!! It was also Aiden's first Easter, but since he didn't know what was going on, then we didn't do a whole lot for him lol. I got him a couple of new toys, well, I should say they came from the "Easter bunny", and I put candy in his basket just because. Anna got a little Elmo figurine, which she LOVES, and she got one of those "My Little Pony" dolls. She loves that too. I remember playing with those when I was younger!
Really, not much else is going on. Sometimes I take the car for the day so I can go somewhere with the kids or do little playdates or whatever, and that's about the extent of our lives! Jared still works at the Post Office, of course, and is doing so great there. Oh that reminds me, it was really cool last night when I went to pick him up at work! I was just about to pull into the parking lot when I suddenly saw a mama deer and her 4 fawns walking across the parking lot!! It was so awesome! They walked across the street a few feet in front of our car and hung out in a front yard for a minute, then kept on walking down the street then into someone's backyard, it was crazy! But way cool. Anna kept saying all the way home, "kjselfkj ljflksj deer? All gone?" And yes, those jumbled letters was just her saying whatever, I can never understand her when she jabbers like that, I don't think she's really saying anything lol. She kept saying that ALL night too, I was like yes they're gone! But she had to keep asking about them! lol. She's so cute. Anna is of course getting bigger by the week it seems, growing out of her clothes and shoes faster than I can buy them, ugh! She's so so tall so it makes it hard sometimes to find the right clothes for her. I have to buy 3T and 4T shirts to make sure they are long enough on her! She loves to play outside, when it's warm, and with other kids and she is so fun, most of the time! lol. She is definitely in her terrible two's, which can be difficult sometimes, but she really is a cutie. Aiden is now 5 months old and I just keep thinking, "Where did the time go?? I swear he was just born!!" It's crazy how fast the time does go, but Aiden is doing great. He's now sleeping through the night, yay!, and still eats every two hours lol. He loves, loves to play with his toys and smiles a ton. He is such an adorable baby boy and such a good boy too! We love our little family!
Ok I just uploaded the pics and realized they're not in the place I wanted them, I wanted them AFTER the post, but I'm obviously still new to this so, sorry!
