New Home

So here it is, the new Filhart home. It is such a cute house and this picture does not really do it justice. Wes and I are so excited to get to work on it. We have plans to add wood flooring, paint inside and out, reface the kitchen cabinets and add new fixtures to name a few. The last few weeks have been somewhat of a headache, but now that the papers are signed we're getting really excited. It's so nice to know we have a place of our own that we can do whatever we want with it. We are especially looking forward to having everyone over for a backyard BBQ before it gets too hot.
Also, I plan on doing some before and after pictures as we fix the place up so watch for updates and hopefully I won't bore you all!

Pee

You know I have always hated the word pee. Well now it's not just a matter of hate, I detest it! It is such a gross word, but what could describe urine better, it's just GROSS!
So once again I am up in the middle of the night because I was cleaning up, what else, pee. If it's not Steele, it's Gideon. If it's not Gideon, it's Skillet (our chihuahua). If it's not cleaning it up, it's me running to the bathroom to pee thanks to this little person growing inside.
But seriously, I have a new appreciation for mothers this morning at 4:30am. I never realized just how gross motherhood could be. However, I suppose that is what makes it so wonderful. I believe the scripture reads, "for it must needs be, that there is an oppposition in all things," the scripture then goes on to say if not so, then we could not know good or bad.
So basically I have had some pretty gross experiences over the last few years and now that I have 2 children and a dog it seems that those experiences are more frequent. Yet, as bad as cleaning up pee can be, the joy I get from my family is ten times greater. I am so thankful Heavenly Father has a plan. A plan that included some gross experiences, because without it, how would I know that my life is really PERFECT!

Test-Run

So I had the opportunity today to experience what life might be like with 3 kids. EmmaLee came over for the day and boy was it interesting. I started out with little sleep due to neither Steele or Gideon sleepling last night. By the time EmmaLee got here at 6am I was dead tired. Then I had a doctors appointment to get ready for and trying to get myself and 3 kids ready and fed was challenging. We did it though and I was only 5 minutes late! (Now I can appreciate Sarah's predicament when it comes to being late.:)) The next challenge was trying to get 3 down for a nap. Steele and Gideon made it down, but EmmaLee didn't, maybe next time I'll accomplish all three. With all that said it was nice that EmmaLee and Steele were able to keep each other somewhat occupied while I took care of Gideon. Yet, all I could think was that in about 6 months this will be a daily task and I pray that I can get through it!

Update

So thanks to Tina I was finally able to make my blog worthy of being viewed. Now I can start adding to and becoming addicted like the rest of the world. Actually, I feel that this is a great way to journal and hopefully share what is going on in our lives. So here's the update for those of you who may not know...
1- We are having another baby in August.
2- We are in the process of buying an adorable little house in Mesa.
3- Wes is working on the reservation and loving the semester so far.
4- I'm on the waiting list for nursing school and will hopefully be in the program in January.
5- Wes and I are completely in love.
Any questions?

For those of you reminding me that I need to post some pictures, here's a start.



Gideon - My little cheese ball and probably the happiest baby I have ever known.

Steele- My sweet boy who makes me cry, laugh, and wonder why I am so blessed.



Wes- The #1 man in my life who makes everything in life worth it.
I'm truly a lucky woman!
