What's been going on

So things over here in the Talbert house have been kind of crazy the past two weeks. Will is no longer working for Toyota he got laid off :( which in a way was really bad, but in a way was good. We started figuring things out and we were spending anywhere from $350-$400 in one month just on gas for him to get to and from work, he was ALWAYS working he would put in between 14-18 hours of overtime a week and never got to eat dinner with us or see the boys. But we were still a little worried and didn't know what we were going to do. Well I don't know why I worried at all because God answered our prayers with in a day of him loosing his job. Will found a job that is right up the road from the house, like 7 mins away. He is going to be home at 4:00 everyday, they offered him more money then what he was making at Toyota and it comes with full benefits. So not only are we going to be saving on the gas (which came at a good time, it was $3.35 up the road from us today) but we are going to get to see daddy a whole lot more!!!!

Well now that takes me to me, since Will, will be home at the same time everyday I decided to go out and get a job. There is a Mexican Restaurant up the road from our house that was in desperate need of experienced waitstaff, so I applied and they called me the same day and offered me a job. I will only be working 3 days a week and really it is just so that I can get out of the house and make a little extra spending money so I can start decorating my house :) But the past couple of days of worked just reminded me that I am not as young as I once was hehe my feet and back are killing me with all the running around when you are a server. But I remember why I enjoyed it so much back in college, it is GREAT money that you leave with every night :)

So it has been really nice having daddy home the past two weeks, he starts on Monday so we will have to adjust to another change but the boys LOVE having him home and I do too, I sure have missed my husband and it is great to be able to go to sleep with him every night. I am truly blessed and have only God to thank for all the blessings he has given us. When God closes one door he Always opens another. He has done amazing things for us thus far in 2011 and it is only February. I can not wait to see what the rest of the year holds for us.

2011

So I decided that I am going to start my blogging again. I do realize that is has been over a year and a half since I last blogged, but life has truly been crazy. We are finally in our very own house, it has been a struggle and many ups and downs, but in God's time we were able to buy a very beautiful house that I can not wait to raise the boys in. Will has a wonderful job, the hours are not so wonderful and he works so much overtime that during the week it is hard to see him, but we are blessed he has a job and he is able to work so hard.

My little Logan has truly been a blessing he is now 15 months old and loves to follow his big brother around and do exactly what he does. Which makes life interesting sometimes, I feel like I have twin 2 year old :) Logie's new thing is he like to run around the house and growl like a dinosaur, it is so funny to see and if you ask him if he is a dinosaur he growls even louder.

Brayden Allen, well this poor little 2 1/2 year old is going through a lot. Hello Terrible two's (well two and half's) In the past 6 months we had to stay with my parents while we were getting into the house and in that six months he picked up a nasty little habit of sleeping in our bed. This is completely 100% my fault because I let him and well this is beginning to be a feet in it self to break. Last night I did not get much sleep but he eventually got it and stayed for increments of a hour and a half. And woke up this morning a 6:00 rearing to go :/ I have also decided in a couple of months to go get him tested at the school district for his speech. They have to be 3 but do the testing a couple months before their third birthday. Brayden was seeing a speech therapist before but I did not like them at all, he is doing really really well and I don't think it is serious but I do think he needs a little encouragement. We are also potty training, he is doing GREAT with this he now tells me when he has to go even if he has a pull up on.

All in all life is grand, even though I am not getting nearly as much sleep as I use to and at night I just want to start crying when fighting with B, in the morning when both of my boys crawl into my lap while sitting on the couch and they pull the blanket over us while watching Mickey Mouse it makes every last bit of the night before completely worth it. Me and Will have made a very serious decision in our life, we have decided to not have anymore children. After going back and forth and wanting a little girl, we are set with our two boys. So very soon Will, will be having a surgery done ;) I did have a scare and thought I was pregnant, I went to the Dr. and it turns out that my Thyroid is messed up. I am pretty sure it is Hypothyroidism but I need to go back for more blood work. We both just decided that with our boys getting older and more self sufficient we both need to start putting a little attention into us and getting us healthy. I have no doubt in my mind though our life will be full of adventure with our two boys.

What's New

Well life sure has been exciting lately. Brayden is growing like crazy, I felt tonight and he has two new teeth that cut through, which I am surpised because he didn't have any problems with these two. He is repeating EVERYTHING we say, my favorite of his saying is when I tell him something he goes OK...what an attitude. We are very very ready for Logan to be here, his bed it together and all his clothes are washed and the pre-labor contractions hurt like crazy. I actually went to the hospital the other morning and nope it was not real. But they did do a sonogram and he is pretty big and is in position and looks like he is ready to come so hopefully it will be very very soon. Here are just a couple of pictures that I have taken of Brayden since we have moved into our new place.


Our pantry that he thought it would be funny to hide from me in


What a trouble maker smile

When I called him this is what he did....TROUBLE

For a kid who wanted to give up his morning naps this

is how I have found him twice this week on the living room

floor

I tried to wake him up because it was 11:00 and that is way

to late for a nap, and he rolled over liked this and ignored me :)

Do we live in TEXAS!!!

So this morning I had to run a couple of errands and went outside and it was cold!!!! Thank goodness this outfit was in the bin because we are not ready for winter yet. We are just waiting for aunt Christi to bring the bin with bigger clothes. Brayden loved the weather though he ran around outside for a little bit. Well winter just wait a couple more days before you fully come

This month

Well things are just flying by lately. I am not 30 1/2 weeks and getting more excited and more stressed as the days just fly by. Lucky Will have found a new job that he really enjoys and it making pretty good money at. At the end of the month we are going to be able to move out of my parents house and into an apartment for now. Mom is doing a little better, we have finally figured out what is wrong with her and now we have to just make sure that we can find all the medications that will help her out. She is getting her strengh back day by day, But I thank God that is going to recover from this. Brayden is just a pistol, he makes me laugh all the time, he just does the funniest things and well he is getting a lot smarter we can now play games together and he is just growing so fast. The clothes he just got for his birthday he is almost out of. I am super excited about Logan, dont get me wrong I am also terrified because it is going to be so different with two babies in the house. I hope I can just manage my time and be organized to make me a better mom. God is great and keeps blessing us and I cant wait to see what he has planned for our future. here is a couple of random pictures of my big boy

Birthday Bash

It sure would be fun to win something. Sounds good to me

Update

Well it has been awhile since I have posted anything. Things are going really good, Brayden is growing like crazy. He makes me laugh and smile and get frustrated every day :) I am 28 weeks and feel like this baby could honestly come any day now. I know the next 10 weeks is going to fly by. I am in no way ready for Logan to be here, we have to find a place to live first but I know God will come through for my family. I just can not believe how fast time is flying by. I still have not gained any weight and I am actually 5 pounds still less then what I originally was when I found out I was pregnant. My doctor does not think that I will gain any weight which is wonderful because I gained 6o pounds with Brayden. But life is good Mom seems to be doing a little bit better. She still needs to go see a GI doctor but hopefully she will be much better soon. But besides that life is good, Will has found a job but is still looking for something a little better for our family. Hope everyong is good because we are Great thanks to God!!!
