I'm feeling a bit emotional today so please forgive my randomness and scatter brain. It's hard being in a new place with no prospect of having family around to help. At least I would have the option to call for help. Even the proverbs 31 woman had some help. I'm really feeling like I could use some. Crazy morning and I think blogging about it will help me feel better and get things off my chest. This sleep deprived nursing mother awakes to get both a husband a daughter off to school and a baby that needs to be nurse and a house that is unexplainable. I think I have certain standards I personally set for myself which I think you should have but I have to learn and have been learning when to let certain things go that are not a priority. I really have to evaluate what is and is not a priority. Listen, I receive a lot of praise and comments on I don't know how you do it?! And wow you have your hands full.... I do it with God ( as I repeat that throughout my day) and I know I have my hands full. Just like my sweet friend Mrs. Anderson says better me than you. I've had alot of thoughts about the pressures of being a good wife and mother? How is that defined?! My husband is very sweet and does not really require or ask anything of me so this is mainly my thoughts and what I feel is expected of me as a wife and mother. In a way it's also I feel like a way you honor your husband and your children. I'm sure many people and couples have there own set of expectations on what is honoring to their husband and kids. I don't proclaim to be super woman !!! Super mom!! I'm just trying my best to do what is pleasing first to God, my husband and my children. I don't say much about how I'm feeling or what I'm going through but I will say thank you when people say your family is beautiful, how do you do it with 4 kids?! And exhale... I can do all things through Christ with Christ. I hope today that I can exemplify that today and I'm on the edge of my seat today. Dont know what to expect but God im giving you my day.... What would you have me do ?

Belvedre Plantation in Fredricksburg
In effort to keep up my blogging in my so called crazy life. I will attempt to post. At least the pictures can tell the story right? right!
Ava turned 6 on October 20th and she wanted to go to a farm for her birthday and to a farm we went.
Here are my girls being pulled by a little tractor. Tractor Train.
At this farm they have what they call pig races. It's basically pigs race each other. This picture above is the workers getting ready to prep the pigs for the race. Getting them into poistion.
It was crowded too as you can see. They have the pig races several times during the day.
And they are off.......
There they go. The green pig is taking it home. I should have gotten video but my camera was dying at this point in the day.
The farmers picked pig pals from each section to cheer on the pigs and to cheer on their particular section. This was at the very end of the pig races and the farmers had the pig pals dress up in dresses and do the chicken dance in front of everybody. As you can see the guy in the red dress was not up for dressing up let alone doing the dance. He was not having it. lol. It was alot of fun to watch.

Randnomness of what we have been up too...
This is what it's all about right here. One tired momma on the day of rest cuddling up with my babies. i love to cuddle by the way. So thankful for Sunday. Since having Isaiah I have been seriously implementing the day of rest. Naps for us ALL !! 
My sweet girl. Her and Ava took this picture. I purchased a new camera and I have to keep them away form this one because I think they might have been the reason why the lens broke on my last one. She is adorable. 
Baby Isaiah- On our way outside to let our puppies out this day. He enjoyed the weather.
My MANY attempts to take a picture of the 4 of them.
Cuddling with Daddy. Isaiah looks so tiny and CUTTTEEE!
Ok, this is the kind of momma I am....I feed Eden froot loops, banana and chocolate pudding for breakfast. I just wanted her to have something in her tummy. I feel like I have slightly neglected her so I try and get extra snuggles and make extra time for her lately because it has been on my mind since Isaiah has arrived.
We Sleep...... and when we can I was on the other side of them but I got up and had to take a picture. This was about 11 a.m. in the morning, waking up from a nap. We were all tired. Eden was sleeping as well in her bed.
Up close...HAD.to. post. IT!
Afternoon snack in the sun room with Big sister Ava after she had gotten home from school
Luving on Daddy....
Doing some tricks
Same expression...same face. LOOK at those cheeks...eat em up!!
She loves her little brother. she tries her best to be gentle with him, she is actually getting better.
We meet with Aaron's Uncle and Aunt and they wanted to see Isaiah- meeting him for the first time.
I had to!!! How could I not...look at that FACE!!! Love her!!!!!!!
My sweet ALMOST 6 year old..next Thursday. boohoo on that note.
I changed the tint on this picture because I have SERIOUS BAGS under my eyes!!
There you have it. Very Random but LOVING every single minute of our lives and trying to make memories with pictures.
