B is for...


Benton, not baby! Silly readers! See how I fooled you all? I'm such a trickster!


You heard it right! My sister had her baby boy and they named him Benton. He was born Tuesday, July 16th at 10:48 pm. At night, just like his cousins! Benton is a perfect 7 1/2 pounds and 20 7/8 inches long! I think he looks a little bit like his mom and his dad! He is so handsome! We love you Benton!




Natalie, I am so very proud of you beautiful. You are so strong. I wish I could have been up there with you, holding your hand and getting you to laugh through your discomfort and pain. I hope that I was able to support you enough through texts. I love you and Jake so much. I am so proud of both of you! Welcome to parenthood guys! It truly is a beautiful thing. Its hard some days (and most nights lol) but is always, everyday, worth it. Children really are the greatest gift ever. Life is beautiful! Love you!!







I cannot wait for my family to meet Benton! They will all be coming to town sometime next month. I cannot wait until then! Luckily, we will have to only wait like 20 ish days! Auntie Jillian and Uncle Lon love you Benton! Alan and Anna cannot wait to meet you either!

I have just LOVED being an assistant teacher for the YMCA Little Cheerleaders Camp this week! We had such a great group of adorable little girls! I just cannot wait until Anna is that old, those girlies were so sweet! Tomorrow is our cheer performance for the other campers and their parents. I am excited but really wish that Aunt April was here so that she could do my hair pretty for me! Darn! :/ I will try my best to take some photos though! These girls should rock it!

Toddler Talk Thursdays and Adventures of a SAHD

I've been debating on whether or not to share some information with you, my lovely blog readers. On one hand it seems slightly too personal to share online because it deals with a family dispute but on the other hand it is about a major change in my family's life, thus should probably be documented. As you can tell, this debate has held me back from posting these past few days, its given me somewhat of a writer's block. And this I apologize for. I have come to the conclusion to let you know what you "Need to know" as the military says lol. I will not share the family dispute with you, because that is uneccessary and unfair to the other members involved. So I will share with you this: For his personal mental health, Lon has quit the Village Inn. He felt that he could not work there any longer in the mental state he was in and could not wait to find another job first, so he quit last Friday. Our plan for him right now is to take a break from the work world for a

 Hello! Hello! Hello! My wonderful readers, I am back!  And not only am I back, but I am bigger than before!  I have moved twice, once to Hamilton and now to Missoula.  Guys, I used to HATE Missoula.  I left my abusive first husband and divorced him officially in July 2019!  I met Aaron and we have two children, Aurora and Artyom.  I am teaching again and back in school.  We have kitties now!  And I am a self-published author and make money on both Facebook and YouTube now!  Oh my lovelies, we have SO much to catch up on! Where do I begin?????? 2015: Lon assaulted a woman and was arrested. Alan started Kindergarten. Anna started preschool at the YMCA. 2016: I became pregnant with Andrea. Lon assaulted me and was arrested. I filed for a TRO and for divorce. I moved out of my parent's house and into my own apartment. 2017: Andrea was born. Lon violated the restraining order and moved in with us. Anna started Kindergarten. My brother-in-law Jake passed away. 2018: Alan, Anna, Andrea,

Top Two Tuesday!! April 19, 2011

Image
Alan is doing tons better this morning, and only had one diarrhea blow out last night. He has two and a half hours left of his liquid diet, and he's no longer contagious after noon today. Unfortunately, that means that he will not be able to go to art class today. :\ But I'm just going to prepare him some "homework" so that he still gets his art projects for that week done. And I'm just thankful last night went billions of times better than Sunday night and that he's doing so much better today. He's starting to act like himself again, which makes me smile. :) Hopefully, he'll be able to go back to daycare by tomorrow. :) And now, for Top Two Tuesday!! Top Two Things I Collect!! #1 Elephant figurines (This photo thanks to http://www.dinodirect.com) I am obsessed, I mean obsessed with elephants lol, and I have been most of my life.
