Wow time can fly by

I was look at the blog tonight after yet another late night of school work and realized it has been six months since I last posted anything. Well lets see where to began.

First my father came and spent Thanksgiving with us, which was the first time in my whole life I have ever spent a holiday with him. The children LOVED him and Rory keeps asking when Grandpa Frenchy is coming back. A little back story on the name; his name is actually Dan, for those of you who do not know, but when my mom met him he used the nick name Frenchy and so that is what I was raised calling him. One day when Rory was five she asked me if I had a father and what his name was; well I was not really thinking about it and said Frenchy and well that is what she now calls him. I find it hilarious :). We had a great time while he was here and even got some really good photos of him with Rory and Seath.

National Seashore November 2014

We spent both holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas) in our new home. My mom came up and spent Christmas with us which was also nice. She spoiled Rory and Seath like always and also like always they LOVE when they get to see grandma. Seath is even getting to the point where he calls her grandma and doesn't just grunt to get her attention any more. 

Seath turned three in March and for his birthday grandma, my mom, took us to Disney where she did the Princess make over for Rory and a Pirate make over for Seath. They were both adorable; Seath fell asleep while getting his done and Rory loved every minute of being pampered and getting to wear makeup. 

Make overs March 2015

OK graduated from college with his BA in February and it has been nice having more time with him. He is still busy with studying for test and certs he has to do for work, but at least he has a little more time to spend with us. For about four months they moved him from being an RT to working in the Cardio Lab, but as of today (27 April 15) he is back over in RT. He has a different position over there so we still get him for the weekends and holidays, but he likes doing RT and it gives him more time to study at work which in turn gives us more time with him at home. 

Rory is almost done with first grade and even though this school has been better for her than her last, we still do not like the schools down here and have decide to homeschool her next year. We have even bought all the books we are using to do it. Please pray that we all make it through next year with our sanity lol.

I am still working on my AA in ECE. I will be done with it in October and plans to take the month of November off before starting on my BA in ECE. While working towards my BA I am is going to apply to be a substitute teacher and pickup days when OK is off. 

We try to go to Florida to see Mama as much as we can. With Rory being in school and OK's work schedule we do not get down there as much as we would like, but it is better than being across the country and not being able to go at all. It has been over a year since we lost my Papa; people say it gets easier with time, but honestly the only thing that has changed is the fact that I fake being happy a little better than I could a year ago. Now I am able to hide just how much I cry from everyone and I am able to talk about him with Mama with out breaking down or changing the topic, so I guess that is a step in the right direction. Losing him has been the hardest thing I have ever gone through; maybe one day I can think of him and not start bawling like a baby, but in till then I will fake my way through the heartache.

On a positive note my Mama has FINALLY agreed to come spend some time with us this summer. She is going to see her sister for about a month and then she is coming here to see us for about the same amount of time. I cannot wait to show her our house and have her for a whole month. 

Well I guess that is it for now. I will post again in about another six months lol.  

Never boring in the Hubble house

We have started going to church here and The primary class had a presentation in sacrament today (26 Oct 2014). With OK's schedule at work I was on my own for getting the children fed and all of us dressed. After feeding the children I went to take a shower. After getting out I called Rory into the bathroom to do her hair. A few seconds later Seath came in with dry erase markers. Before I could ask him why he had them Rory piped up and said he was drawing in the wall. At this point my spidey sense (or maybe the mommy sense) kicked in so I asked Rory if she drew on the wall and she said "no mommy". I then asked her what she was doing after a long pause she said told me she was brushing her teeth. After I was done with her hair we walked towards the living room and she took off to her room. I found where "Seath" was drawing and this is what I found 

Needless to say she is in trouble for not only the drawing, but (and mainly) for lying to me! She is 6yrs old and knows better!! Over the last year she has started doing the exact opposite of what she is told. I am at my whits end and have no clue what is going on with her or how to get her out of it. 

Our daughter

Man oh man has Rory been in a REALLY BAD MOOD today and like always she is taking it out on her daddy. Well instead of me getting upset with either of them today I have just laughed it off. Well while being in a bad mood Rory had lost the ablitity to think before talking. With this lack of ablitity she has said some really funny things.

"You're a meany head"

"Well I don't love you any more" 

"I am going to give you one more chance"

And now my favorite so far R: "I don't want to talk to you any more father" O: "then leave your door closed" R: "yayaya". 

I thought I was going to die laughing!!  

It has been a while

It dawned on me today that it has been a long time sense we last posted a new blog. In the last few months we have been super busy. OK finished his retrain, Rory finished Kindergarten, both Amber and OK have been busy with school (we both made the deans list for spring semester), and Seath has been growing like a weed. 

Towards the end of OK's retrain we got orders to stay in Mississippi. With the new orders and the fact we could possibly be here the rest of OK's military career we bought a house!! The summer has been a busy one with unpacking, painting, decorating, and building a linen closet (we lived in our house for a good two or three weeks before noticing we did not have one). We love our house.    

Rory went to Florida to spend 10 days with mama (her great grandma) and will come home on Aug 10th. So far she is have a great time. She will start 1st grade on Aug 18th and is almost 6 years old!! I cannot believe she is almost six. Where has the time gone? Rory will also be doing Girl Scouts again this year. 

Seath has grown so much over the summer. He is closer to the size of a four year old than a two year old. He is in 3T bottoms and 4T tops. He has a long torso like his daddy. He is all boy! He plays rough, loves balls of any shape, color, and size, and loves trains, boats, and planes. He will sit forever as long as mommy is reading to him and there is one book he even reads with mommy. We are working on colors and numbers at the moment. He is getting a better each week. 

OK is working hard at his new job. He loves what he is doing. He has six months before he is done with college. He is also going to be co-leader for Rory's Girl Scout troop. Thankfully he will be done with school just as cookie season hits again.

Amber is trying her hand at troop leader again this year for Rory's troop. She is also busy with college and has another year and two months before she is done with her first degree. 

Amber and OK also celebrated their nine year wedding anniversary in July. 

Juice detox day two

Well I lost two pounds during day one. As much as I wanted to give up and eat I was a good girl and did not give in lol.

Day two breakfast juice consist of strawberries, a green apple, one kiwi, hand full of grapes, a very small slice of ginger, and a banana. It is really good :)

For lunch I tried a lemonade juice. Ya that was gross. I was only able to choke down half of it before dumping it out and making a new one.

By dinner time I was having a hard time sticking to this juice detox. I actually ate one tiny almond and felt bad that I broke, but I had a juice for dinner. 

By the end of the day I had lost five pounds. I know it's mainly water weight, but hey I will take what ever I can get at this point.

Juice detox day one

Day one SUCKS!!!!! I just want real food. I have a headache from heck and I feel sick. Our lunch was a mango salsa juice. Ya about that, I just wanted chips to eat with it and could only choke down a little bit of it. I then made a pumpkin sweet potato which was not so bad, but I STILL JUST WANT REAL FOOD!!! For dinner we made a spinach, kale, apple, pear, banana juice. It was almost as good as out breakfast juice, but as I have said a few times now I WANT FOOD!!!!!

Day one breakfast

We started today off with a green juice. It is really good.

We used:

3 Granny Smith apples

2 Kale leaves

Handful of spinach

2 kiwi

2 bananas

I will not post five different blogs everyday, but I wanted to post the first one now.
