Whoa!!!!

So, I am fixing up this house next door to my mom's, and boyyy it's quite a job!!! The house is aolmost 120 yrs old! YEAH!!! OLD!!! But, I LOVE old houses and I love remodeling houses! I think it's because of Mike and the fascination he had with buying foreclosers and fixing them up. haha Anyhoo, It is a lot of work, but when you see the end result it is allll worth it. Andrew, Bill, mom, both the sisters, and a few friends have been helping. 

Andrew and the guys have been doing the hard stuff, like ripping out all the floors, ripping out the bathroom, and putting everything in the dumpster. I have been painting like a mad woman all spring break! I pulled a muscle in my shoulder, and mom swears it'a because of working on the house, but I don't think so.  Oh well, it'll feel better soon enough. I just can't wait to see what it's like when we finish! The floors start getting put down tomorrow so that's def exciting!!! I can't wait til we add the upstairs!!! It's gonna be sooooo cute!!! OH MY, OH MY, OH MY!!! I can't contain my excitement!!! haha

Here is a pic of the bathroom while Andrew and Bill were tearing it apart tonight! I'll post more when I take some more and I'll def post tons of "after" pics!!!

So my little baby angel Aiden has taken his first "real" steps this week!!! AMAZING!!! I wanna cry! He has been walking for about 6 or so steps and then he either meets his goal location, or he falls! But, either way he's trying!!! So cute! Hold onto your babies while you can girls, cause eventually they turn into little men like my baby Aiden! :(:(

P.S. Alicia, send me your # and your email cause somehow your number dissappeared off my phone which is why I have not called you back! And Holly, I NEED your # cause I don't have that either!! Please and thank you!!! :):)

Until next time! 

Little Dare Devil!!!

So Aiden did the funniest thing and I just have to blog about it!



So this morning I ran downstairs while Aiden was up in his play room watching his Baby Einstein and drinking his juice. I was down there maybe 3 minutes and when I came back up I found him being a little Dare Devil!!! He was standing on top of his toy box! I couldn't believe it! He isn't even walking yet, but h sure is climbing! lol Oh, makes me so proud!!! haha



Here is a pic. He sat down before I could get my phone out!

Us! :)

Mama took Baby Aiden's 1 yr. pics in his suit! Sooo Cute!!!!

Aiden has been doing great! He recently got tubes and that was a big relief for Mama cause he just wasn't a happy baby! He's done really well since he got them and he has become that baby I thought disappeared again! He's just so happy! I couldn't be more blessed! I swear I get that giddy feeling everytime I think about him! He's trying to walk, which he's not been successful at it yet! haha He can walk along everything, but when he tries to stand on his own he will for a second and then fall! It's okay though, he'll get it soon enough and then I'll be wishing he could only crawl again! He can kinda say "dog", "mama", and he can say "dada" which just breaks my heart everytime he does! Although, I am very glad that he can say it. I can't wait til he can actually understand what he's looking at when he looks at pictures of Mike! I'm so excited to teach him everything I can about his smart Papa!!!! I can't wait until it gets warm and I can take him to the park!

I have been in school for nursing ever since Mike passed away. I felt I needed to jump right into it. Still not sure if that was the best decision or not. It has been going really good though! This semester I am taking my last required class for the nursing program and a few others that will go toward the program, which I start int he Fall!! Yay!!! I have to say that Advanced Physiology is kicking my butt! But so did Microbiology and the other 2 Anatomy classes I've taken this past year and half! haha Oh well, it'll be worth it in the end!

Here's a little info on Mike and I: I met him when I was 15 and he was 18. Our 5 year anniversary was the the day before he died. He is the love of my life. We were married almost 1 year when he died. He was a graduate of Indiana University and a graduate student at Ohio State University. He was going to be a great dentist! I miss him more than I can ever explain, but I feel fortunate to have had the chance to love and be loved by such an amazing man!!! Also, he gave me the MOST beautiful son I could ever dream to have! He is someone I will never forget!
