Saying good for now

With pregnant brain I can't seem to juggle having a blog on top of life's demands so for now I'm signing off.

Nasty run ins with nasty neighbors

About 1 1/2 hrs ago Chris was being pushed around by a drunk neighbor who was trying to pick a fight. Both of these men are dads and both of these men can't stand the others family. Our 4 kids are prohibited to play with his 4 kids for the past 2 yrs.

Chris could of walloped him and he wanted too! I was impressed with my man's self control because I lack it when it comes to other adults lying in my face about my family. I was egging this father on. I dared him to hit me with my own temper. I was not going to show fear or back down. Chris had to step in front of me to keep this dad from hitting me.

I was not behaving at my best. I like everyone else have an ugly side. Picking a fight with my husband and lying - saying that we beat our kids makes me angrier than a mad hornet. WHAT Lies!!!

And yes this father would have kicked my butt but I was so mad I didn't care.

It started 2 yrs ago after about 6 months of trying to befriend them. The have triplets who are 6 months older than my twins. I was excited that they moved in and the twins would have friends their age. I soon realized that those kids are... let's just say my daughters can't and don't want to play with them.

Other neighbors called the police. They were on our side trying to get this guy to go home. The police came. We could have pressed charges because of the dad's pushing but what would that solved.

It's so sad that we have to endure all this. I hope and pray (I sound like a hypocrite I know) that my daughters will grow character, learn that people can be ugly. I hope they come out on top. That they will learn to be self controlled like their father, to turn the cheek, that actions cause reactions.

I hope I too can learn to keep me mouth shut. I hope I can grow from this too!

Why is it so hard?

We (Chris and I) go in rounds about baby names. He likes this and I like that. I don't like his and he doesn't like mine.

I want a strong meaning so I can pray that meaning over the child through out its life.

Abigail -(our first born)My father is joyful. I pray that she will bring joy to the Father through out her life.

Elizabeth - Pledged to God. I pray that she will live her life for Him.

Elijah - The Lord is my God. I pray that my son will proclaim this all his life.

Isaiah - The Lord helps me. I pray that he will always know that God is present and guiding him.

So the search is on. We need to find a name that we both like and has a good meaning.

Not one name but two. A boy name and a girl name, so that we are prepared for which one is needed.

Any suggestions?

Heartbeats

We heard the baby's heart beat for the first time yesterday. That little helicopter sound makes being pregnant so much more real for all of us.

Moab...again?

Am I so lucky to go back so soon?

Well, I am!

Memorial Day weekend we will be hitting the trails. Yahoo!

I invited my mom and there is a chance my step brother and his wife might come along. Our friends: Paco and son and Stan and Marlene will be joining us. It will be great!

#5

Neighbors know, the church knows, my mom and grandma knows, some of my friends know so I guess it's time to post it too.

baby #5 is on the way.

It's due date is Oct. 31.

I'm excited and a bit overwhelmed.

And WHY are ALL my little ones born in the fall? WHY is that?

I'll tell you why Chris is home way to much in the dead of winter.

I swear he needs a part time job in the winter.

I'm 14 weeks and feeling good. There for a while I was sick and tired but it has passed mostly. I'll keep posting.

Love, Love, Love MOAB

The Wedge, Golden Stairs, Golden Crack, Hummer Hill, Body Snatcher, Easter Egg, Tilt a Whirl, I love it ALL.
