Moving is a pain!!

2008-11-11T09:36:00.001-08:00

It is amazing how you pack up so much stuff but when you look around it seems as if you have accomplished nothing. It is crazy trying to move 5 people out of a house in about 5 days. We have 3 days left to be out of here, are we all packed?? NOPE!! We barely have any boxes. We do however have a storage unit, well by the end of the day we will. It is nice going through everything and disposing the unnecessary. It's amazing how the donation pile of toys (finally) and clothing has more than doubled since the beginning of the move. I just can't wait for it all to be over.

This is a picture of the pond at my parents house in Oklahoma. This picture was taken the day after Christmas. We were all just hanging around inside & all of a sudden snowflakes started falling. It was so beautiful watching everything slowly getting whiter and whiter. I never thought so many dead trees could look as pretty as they did.

a sudden change of pace...

So once again Ryan & I are making a decision to move to Oklahoma. We do this every year but I am really starting to think that this time will be for the best. We have 3 kids to take care of and it is just becoming more difficult. Ryan's job has left us with a lack of money therefore we can't pay our bills. We figure that the only way to get out of this hole is to go somewhere that is a little better off, and has more help for us, as in babysitters and free rent for a while!! I am hopeful that this move will be for the good and maybe someday we can return to Arizona if that is what we feel is right. For once in my life i feel more positive about moving than negative. Maybe it's a good sign. Either way we will be with family and I know somehow that will be plenty for all of us.

My Little Girls!

So I know someday down the road having two daughters isn't going to be as pleasurable as it is now! I love all the pink, purple, glittery & shiny things in life! Having two daughters to be able to share that with is awesome. When i go to the store and I see all these pink things, Ryan just looks at me like i'm crazy! The girls on the other hand are right there with me loving it all!! I know I am in store for fights over everything from clothes to boys, make-up & shoes. But hopefully it really is as much fun as I seem to think it will be.

Sweet Siblings!!

I absolutely love this picture of Aiden & Lily! It was taken December 30th 2007 on our way home from spending Christmas with my family in Oklahoma. It was pretty hectic trying to drive 17 hours with a newborn, a 21 month old and a confined 4 year old boy!! Needless to say we divided the trip up and stayed at a hotel. There are not too many moments where the children are peaceful enough to take such and happy and loving picture!!

#24 Arrived!!

Wow It's hard to believe this is #24!! Time sure does fly by. I remember like it was yesterday wishing that my 16th birthday would get here faster. It's amazing how fast 8 years flies by!!

Forever Friends!

Life is full of making friends and losing friends. My two best friends, Jamie & Sara, are the best. We have had our fights and our disagreements, but we have all learned to agree to disagree. Every important thing that has ever happened to me these 2 girls have always been there. I couldn't imagine living life without a best friend. I guess I am just lucky and blessed to have been given two!!

Change of Plans!

So Ryan & I have deiced to stay in Arizona for at least another year. We are moving into a house in the middle of March which is super exciting!! I can not wait to unpack all of our stuff. I am especially excited to decorate the girls' room!! I have so much girly stuff from before Ryan & I got married and I am happy that I finally get to take it all out of the boxes!! It will be nice to live on our own, and be a family! 3 weeks isn't too far away, but at the same time it's not close enough!!

OuR NoT So LiTTLe FaMiLy....

Where to begin..

Ryan & I got married on August 2nd 2002. It was a very cute quick planned wedding!! Ryan and I were going over dates for weeks when he decided that we should get married the following Friday. Five days later with the help of the Tammy's (our moms) we were married. I will never forget that day.

The following March we found out that we were going to have a baby. it was a very exciting and overwhelming feeling. November 1st 2003 we welcomed Aiden Riley Kleinman. He was so cute, little & healthy. He is now 4 years old a full of energy. Where he gets it... I have no idea.

A couple years later while spending the summer in Kauai, Ryan & I learned that we were going to have another baby! My due date was March 17th 2006, Ryan's Birthday!! Oddly enough on that day, we welcomed Liliana Rayn Kleinman. She was the cutest chunkiest thing I have ever seen. From day one she has always eaten her share, along with everyone else's share of food!! She is our little LiLy PiE!!

About a year later, yeah a year, we found out once again... We were prego!! She was a bit of a surprise, considering I was just celebrating Lily's 1st birthday!! On November 12th 2007 we welcomed in our final member of our family. Kloe Rylen Kleinman. She is so beautiful in every way imaginable. She has changed our lives in so many ways for the better!

Before Ryan & I dated, marriage and kids were not in the picture for either of us. I guess when you finally find the right person, the jelly to your peanut butter, you change your mind. You find yourself filled with more love than you ever knew what to do with. We are done having babies, now that we are out numbered! I am thankful for everyday God gives me with Ryan and our beautiful children! We are both finding new meaning in our lives.
