Moved in

Wow! Where does the time go? So happy Late Valentines day to you all. I hope your day was filled with a ton of love. Thank you for sending Maddy valentines she loved them all and also thank you for all your phone calls, e-mails and cards for my birthday it meant a lot.

So update for this past couple weeks. We are officially moved into our new house. We love it. It was tons of work. We had so much help by Ward members and expecially Casey's family. You never realize how much stuff you have until you move. It was crazy. I never thought I would get to the last box. Maddy was such a big help, every time I would unpack something she would pick it up and try to put in the garbage can, believe me I was tempted to let her keep doing it would have made things go a lot faster.

Now that we have a house and a yard, Casey thought it was time to get a puppy for Maddy so we got Maddy an early valentines gift, little Ginger. She is so cute and loves!!!! Maddy. Maddy is not afraid of her at all and would play with her all day if I would let her.

I am so jealous of all you guys getting so much snow. I was going to change my blog background today but thought nope. If there is no snow outside at least I can have my snow on the Internet. All we are getting here are tornado's. It is crazy I am not use to them at all. It gets so warm humid and sunny and you think it is going to be a good day than all the sudden bam!! Tornado.

Oh on a side not I got a ward calling last week. I have been called as a primary teacher, CTR 6. Some how they made a little mistake so I will be subbing for a month until everything is straightened out. I taught sunbeams Sunday, Wow that was a challenge, I so admire you Heidi, doing that every week that is not easy. Congrats again Jen on your Calling. I know you will do great.

Ok so I think that is the end of my novel for today. Taataa!

our new home.

Daddy's girl.

Sometimes I wonder,, what is she thinking?

Blue eyes

Ginger

Casey is in heaven on his lawn mower. He always said when we were in the military that he couldn't wait to come home buy a house and mow his own lawn. He is such an outdoors guy.

OUR NEW HOUSE

So mom called me today to cuss me out for not posting pictures of Maddy. She is such a good Grandma. Sorry I haven't posted for awhile things have been crazy but are finally looking up. Thank you for all your prayers. We got our house, well in a way, we are renting it for a couple months until we can buy it. We were approved for the loan but they want evidence that Casey has a steady income so we must wait for a couple weeks until Casey get his first 2 pay stubs and than we can buy it but until than the nice owner is letting us rent it. This owner is seriously one of the nicest men I have ever met. He is honestly an answer to our prays. We are so so greatful to him. I can not say enough about him. Great Great guy!!
So we get to move in on Saturday I am so excited.
Casey has been gone for 2 weeks for training. He will be back on Saturday night than has to go to active duty guard for a week than on the road again with a trainer for 3 weeks. Poor guy. He is so amazing though, love him tons.
Maddy is still growing so so fast she just turned 16 months on Sunday. She is learning new words everyday. I love how she is putting the words together and realizing everything. it is such a fun stage. I will have to take a video of her and all of her new words.

So the law suit is still going. We went to court on the 16th it was a preliminary injunction to keep us from buying any other house other than the stupid one we are getting sued for luckily the judge declined it and said that there is noway he could do that so we were free to buy a house. Now they are seeking for money they haven't said how much yet but we will see hopefully someone will just buy their stupid house, there is someone that is looking so keep your fingers crossed.
Well I think that is all. Hugs Eilisa

POOR MADDY

Sweet little Maddy tripped over her feet and hit the edge of the door way and the door henge. Check out those knots. Just another day in our crazy lives.

Merry late Christmas and Happy Late New Years!!!! I hope you all had a great one. We did Maddy got spoiled but of course loved it. She got 4 babies. She is one busy mommy. She loves them all and is constantly feeding them kissing them pushing them in her new stroller or telling them to shhhh.
We didn't do anything exciting for New Years. Casey got to come home from school so that was good but other than that not much.
We have had a rough rough past couple weeks. We are in the middle of a law suit. The lady that owns the house we were going to buy before we found our dream house is suing us. At first we thought it was all a bluff but on Tuesday when we got served with the papers we realized she was serious. We had to go get a lawyer and all. Talk about sleepless night and stressful days. Our house we are trying to get is now pushed back until the end of January. So who knows if we will get it. Sad to say but I have become immune to it all I have cried all I can cry and stressed until I make myself sick that I am finally at the point of blaaa, can't believe this is all happening. To top it all off Maddy is sick and Casey has been sent home from trucking school. AHHHHHHHH!! We just keep praying that is all we can do. The last thing our lawyer said to us was don't worry let me do the worrying for you easier said than done hu.
So that is our life in a nut shell. on a Brighter not Check out these cute pictures.

Santa Clause

Wow I haven't posted forever!! It has been crazy here. We finally found a house that we both could agree on. The first one we were going to get was just ok I wasn't in love with it but now we have found an amazing house that we both love. If everything goes as planed (keep your fingers crossed) we could have it by sometime next week. Casey joined the Guard this week so that was kind of happy/sad moment all in one. He, so far thinks it will be ok, he met most of his squadron and they seem great so that is a bonus.

Maddy is still growing like a weed. She is starting to copy every word I say or at least tries. Today she was eating Cheerios and I had to run in the back room, I left the box on a place she could reach, when it clicked in my head I ran back to the kitchen as fast as I could and guess what sweet little Maddy had done.... Nope you are wrong, she didn't dump it all on the floor she had put the box back in the cupboard and said ahh..dun (meaning all done). i couldn't believe it I thought for sure she would have dumped it . She usually has a notty moment when left alone, like putting all her toys in the toilet or shoving things in the DVD player or ..... you know how it goes but today she was so good. It was a good day.

We went to a ward Christmas party tonight and Santa was there so these are some pictures I took. Maddy did so good.

This is my fav. picture I used a wide angle lens so it doesn't fit on this blogger template. so I cropped the top and the bottom one I left as is. You will just have to tilt your head sorry. but it is worth it he he.

OK I am done. UP UP UP! is what she is saying.

I can't believe Thanksgiving/reunion is over! All the excitement and anticipation is over, it is kind of sad. It was great though!! It was so good to see everyone, it was just like old times except with a lot more people. The food like always was amazing!!! Mom and Aunt Gail worked so hard in the kitchen and the final product was so so good. We had fun crafts, black Friday talk, football games, story time and much much more. Nic even suprised us with Tickets to Forgoten Carols Thanks Nic!! we loved it.

Casey surprised everyone and came out 2 days before thanksgiving. So everyone (the entire) family was there.

I had a great time taking pictures of everyone. I was in heaven.

Sweet Tysha got Casey and I room at her Hotel it was so good to get away for a night. Except little Maddy had other planes. She got sick on Thanksgiving morning.Mom and Tysha took care of her until I got there. She was up all night this was her first time being sick so it was so hard for her but she finally fell asleep around 3. So here are just a couple of the buzzilion pictures I too
