Im ashamed!

and I know I should be?
How could I leave you without any hello since Jan 31st? 

If it counts for anything my laptop had died for about 2 of those months, and I don't like blogging on the iPad. 
Your gonna be really mad when you hear all that's happened since then. 

* House Hunting
* 14 days of valentines and the best present for me ever!
* Finding the house and putting a contracting in.
* First trip to the zoo.
*First race of the season for Charlotte.
*Prom dress shopping.
* Easter with the family.
* Family visit with some gator nationals. 
*bingo & pizza weds:)
*Lys first boy crush kiss.
.. and many many more fun times.

To start with the most important the HOUSE!
We found her and although I have only seen her twice, shes perfect for us. 
Its a short sale and its been 5 weeks tomorrow since we put in the contract (not that im counting or anything) we are still waiting to hear back from the bank. We havent even posted a picture of it anywhere untill today. So here it goes, lets keep our fingers crossed that im not cursing our sale by posting the pic. 


We LOVE it! Its perfect for us, 4 bdrm 2 bath. Its on the north-side of Jacksonville by the airport. It has a nice side back yard and butts up to preserve so no one will ever be back there.. Ekkk :) I can not tell you how ecstatic we are about it. More pics and details about the whole buying process when we hear there is a signed contract with the selling bank.

My favorite Valentines to day was this year. I was a honorable patron of the 14 days of valentines. I kept Mr.Chaney on his toes. I wish I had documented what all I had done everyday but I didn't, but I can tell you that he was all curious of what I had coming for him. Little did I know he had it coming for me. He had been planning to get me earring that matched the engagement ring I pinned on pinterest.  He took the photos and had then design and custom make the earrings, talk about one happy girl! Yup that meee :)



We went to the zoo on March 18th, it was a perfect day to go. The neighbors downstairs went with us and it was a great time. :)









It was such a successful day that lys took a short nap putting her puzzle together. I couldnt help it but snap a photo :)



And I will have to make a part 2 and tell you the rest maybe this afternoon, im sure I have made you all fall asleep already. :)

kicks and screams, oh my!





Looks like the first apt was a success right?

NOT!!

The title pretty much sums it up, lys was just putting on a good show for the blog. She was terrified, yet the dentist was AMAZING with the situation. I need, desperately her patience with kids. I swear if I had it, I would probably have 15 kids. Yes, she was that amazing.

Good news though, teeth are great! No cavities and great oral hygiene! 
YES!!!!

Have a great day everyone :)

You know it, you've all been there...

When you have some sort if writers block, or been too busy to stop and really think much less write considering it was the 2nd since I last wrote. Lemme break down the last 27 days for you.

 *I can announce something that I never thought I would be able to say again....I not longer have high cholesterol anymore.....WOO FREAKING HOO!!!!! It's been almost 7 months since that last told me my cholesterol was 266, and now this girl is down to 169!!! Which is truly a blessing considering I done it all on my own, no meds for this gal.

 *Kala passed all her classes this semester, and took her SAT. Shes been working alot and bringin' home that bacon, You go girl!

 *Tucker our 5 month old lab weighs a whopping 54.3 lbs, and has figured out he can jump on furniture. GREAT! Also in fur baby news Carli, the 3 legged collie went to the vet (due to her having a hard time getting around lately), and we were told to start saving for a new hip.

 *Alyssa is great, nothing new with her lately same prissy girl as always. No one told me that having a girl was so hard. There bossy, and needy, and dramatic. Yet so sweet, loving and accepting all at the same time. She has starting to "notice" how people look in public and ask questions. Like "Mommy, why does that woman have a big belly?" "Mommy, what's wrong with his neck?" Ya know things of That nature. I honestly don't know how to handle it other by telling her that we don't talk about others. We're thinking about putting her inside sort of dance class. She prances and and dances ALL day, and yes it's cute.

*We celebrated Australia Dat with Greg's co-worker Thursday it was awesome.

*Greg and I had a AMAZING date night with our friends at adventure landing, it was awesome to be kids again for about 3 hours.

 *Alyssa goes to the dentist for the first time tuesday, I will def be letting you know how that goes.

*Greg starts school tomorrow, he's excited. I'm happy for him, yet jealous at the same time, I wish I could go like now, oh well I will get there in due time.

 What all have you done this month?? Anything exciting??
