Turning 40 ...

This last November i turned 40 years old. People asked me how I felt about turning 40 ( this is us at the Miranda Lambert concert) Steve got tickets for my Birthday. It was so much fun!! I am really good with urning 40. I look to my future and see a new me. When I was turning 35 that was very hard on me. I knew I was no longer going to be having kids. I LOVED, LOVED being pregnant.
What was i going to do? Avery was going to all day preschool and I was lost. I new i was still needed, I knew I still had tones to do around the house. I would just look in the mirror and say WHAT IS Wrong with you? GET A GRIP? But I could not get out of that feeling of depression. I was no longer going to play groups at the park. I no longer fit in with the stay at home moms MIX and Mingle lunches. But to me I was still a young mom. All I ever really wanted to be was a GREAT MOM! Yes, i had dreams of being a Nurse or doing Hair, but really all I wanted was a great husband and lots of kids. I still sometimes have a hard time with this. I now I am a good Mom.. I am very involved in the schools they attend. It just is not the same thing as looking in at the baby sleeping in the crib, holding on with excitement when you know for the first time they are going to say MOMMY! So now as I look into my future and see how my kids are growing up to be fabulous people and how we hold adult conversations. I am great with turning 40 and hoping that soon Ty and Kylie will be having a baby. How I look forward to holding on with excitement, because my Grand baby is going to say NANA..
So to all of my wonderful young mom friends, don't rush, cherish every moment. It really goes so fast, but don't think as I did. That you don't know what your purpose in life will be later on. Because as i have learned, a Mother is always needed, no matter the age of your child and you will have those WAHOOO moments or moments of excitement no matter the age of your child..

I had a baby.. J/K

The kids and I have been wanting another Dog. I have been looking for a long time and then a friend of mine txt me and said they have PUPPIES... I asked what kind? She said a Chweenie! I said WHAT? LOL It is a Chihuahua and Wiener Dog mix. I said I am coming over..

Steve and I went to take a look. I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her. Se has Pretty green eyes and has Golden brown hair. She loves to snuggle and play.

Avery and Aaron tried to come up with a name, I let them pick. They could not decide so they started to think of dog names from movies. They love the movie 8 Below and really like the name Maya. She is part Hispanic so the name fits her.. HAHA


She is doing GREAT!! She started to sleep through the night two days after we got her. For the most part she Potty's out side. Maya can Sit, Sand up and stay. She is learning very quick.

Maya on Christmas day at Muga and Papas house. She loves her bed and did not potty in my moms house once that day, WAHOOO!!


We take her everywhere. She goes shopping with us. Avery takes her for walks.
When I go to the schools she goes with me. They love her.
She even goes on play dates to see her sister Peevie. LOL The herbs got her sister too,

I have always loved animals and she is a great dog to have.

So wish us luck.. It is now the CHEWING STAGE..
