Storms Storms go away!

Alabama storms are so not for me. I just wanted to make sure you all know that. Last week we had a tornado touch down not far from my house. Huge hail balls, wind close to 100 miles per hour. Just crazy. Last night the wind picked up again and smashed my dogs cage and up rooted a tree across the street. On the news they said that the worst is still yet to come. I am so excited NOT!!!


So enough about the storms. Happy Easter to you all!

We had a great one. Maddy and I went to church and than went to Ryan and Amanda's House (Sandra's son and daughter in-law's). There were lots of kids and tons of toys so maddy was in heaven. We ate lunch and than let the kids hunt eggs. Maddy had so much fun. Her and Grandpa found lots of eggs. She was a Grandpa's girl all day yesterday. Didn't want anything to do with anyone but him. It is cute! I had a great time. Thank you so much Ryan and Amanda and Sandra and Clarence. I didn't even get homesick.


Time for pictures!!!Here is Maddy's Easter pictures. She is getting so much harder to take pictures of she will not smile for me for anything. But she did a good job.this is right across the street.Ryan and AnnaBear! Bear! This was so funny. Maddy thought this big dog was a bear. Amanda, Anna and Sandra cousins

Wanted to post this cute video of Maddy Playing with her Dad. She is so energetic. We love her bunches.

Sickness, Growing and Waiting

Sneaky little Maddy always getting into something.

She LOVES her care bears

ok she loves her dad more. She misses him so much.

So the tittle pretty much sums up our lives the past week I've been sick, Maddy is growing like a weed and Casey can't wait to get out of training.

Last week I became extremely sick I had a fever of 106. I went to the doc and he said I had serve since infection he told me that I needed to go to the ER because of my fever but I said I am ok and he let me go home. By the end of the day it was down. I had so many drugs in my system that I actually didn't feel bad.

Maddy is growing like a weed and does fun stuff everyday. The other day I was in the garage cleaning it up so I can start my photo business back up and maddy was helping :). She had some of my stuffed bear that I use for props. I hear her chatting away at them and hear a lot of gou gewl, meaning good girl in maddy talk. I didn't think much of it and went back to cleaning.
The next thing I know she was shouting so I looked over and she had all 7 bears lined up in a row, had one hand on her hip and pointing her finger at them gou gewl, gou gew!! she kept saying along with other jiber. I laughed my head off. Than I though oh my where is she getting that!

Casey is good, he has been gone for almost 2 weeks now. Last time he was home for a couple days Maddy would not let him go she had to go everywhere with daddy it was so cute. He misses her tons. He only has one week left of training and than he will get his own truck and be home more often. We all can't wait

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.
