GOVEAWAY!

On the 12th Day of Christmas Baby Gizmo gave to me…
Orbit Baby G2 Stroller + Sidekick Board
OMG!  It is the last day!  The last hurrah!  The Grande Finale of the 2011 Baby Gizmo 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway Extravaganza THIS IS IT! 
Sure, others try to imitate our 12 Days of Christmas but no one comes close to the Baby Gizmo Giveaway Extravaganza that happens at this time every year!  And since this is our 12th and final day, we had to finish with style. We had to finish with a bang. 
What better way to end our 12 Days of Christmas than with one of the most sought after luxury strollers on the market: the Orbit Baby G2 + Sidekick Board! That’s right, the G2 wasn’t good enough for our fans, we had to throw in the Sidekick to make it that much better.
One lucky winner will receive this luxury, head-turning stroller with its fabulous unique features that will have you feeling like a celebrity when you stroll with it through town. This is state-of-the-art strolling! Of all the strollers that we have reviewed, we have gotten the most attention from the G2!  We really felt like celebrities when we were out and about with this stroller. The G2 has unique features that no other stroller has. We absolutely love the full coverage sun canopy, the large roomy seat, and the fact that it rotates and reclines.
To check out our full review (including video!) of the G2, click here.  Since the winner gets the Sidekick too, don’t forget to check out our review of the Sidekick HERE.

On the 8th day of Christmas Baby Gizmo gave to me…
Stokke Tripp Trapp + Cushion
We are giving one lucky winner a Stokke Tripp Trapp with cushion!  Winner even gets to pick their color combination! So fun!
Stokke is an innovative company that designs baby products to grow with your child. The Tripp Trapp, designed in 1972, is not only made out of beautiful, environmentally-friendly wood, but designed to be stylish and last a lifetime. This high chair can be used starting at 6 months (when the child can sit up unassisted) up through adulthood. With easy adjustments, this chair grows with your child, making it a staple in your kitchen decades longer than a traditional baby high chair. Because we don’t like to put baby in the corner, we like that it allows her to join the family at the dinner table from her first day of solid foods.

A Real Christmas Card! :)

To all the mommies out there, trying so hard to make a pretty Christmas card for family. Or just take a family picture for that... I feel for you! I'm pretty sure that it has to be one of the hardest things for my family! lol
 This is the real picture the one that we got and had to keep taking them because it just wasn't working!

Oh the joys of being a parent. lol ;) My children are such a blessing and I am very greatful for them. I hope they have tons of children and they are just like them.. lol

 We finally got a good picture, but we went with the real one anyways. I love pictures they are such a good memory. I hope all of you take tons of pictures. Hope your holiday pictures turn out wonderful!

Cancer... Such a small word..

So I was on my way to get Ayden from school the other day and I get a call from my doctor office, sayting that they thought I might have cancer and they need to run some more test.. Fist off, who calls and tells someone that? I mean you could have at least called me in your office.. So thanks for that.. lol I made my appointment and started the ''Am I going to die'' thinking.. I NEVER thought this would be me.. And All I could think about was my children and my husband and who my husband would marry, and if she would be a good mom...
  I was thinking about when I was watching Sister Wives the other day and they were talking about if they died they would have a back up mom.. lol I was thinking about that too.. It took me a couple of hours to let my husband know.. and even though we were in the same house I text him, how nice is that! lol I knew that if I said it out loud I might cry... So I didn't. I just keep praying that the lord wouldn't take me away from the people that I needed... and that needed me. He wouldn't right? that's what I keep telling my self. Bad things happen to good people all the time. It's how we take it, is what matters.

Who am I?!? Who knows....

  I can't go to sleep and I have a lot on my mind. So here I go, I used to always think that I thought to much of people, because I always saw the best in them. I knew that they could do good, I just enabled them to do the opposite, or ''fix'' themselves. I think it's because it's easier to have broken people in your life, if you are broken as well. I hate that I spend my whole childhood not thinking about my self. I'm glad I helped people out. But I'm pretty sure that I would have focused more on school and not so much on them. Do NOT get me wrong I am so blessed today, but what I had to go through to get here was not any fun. I also hate that nobody besides my husband really knows ''me''. I hate that I never show feelings about things. I'm pretty sure I'm adopted.. lol I say that because my family is so lovey lovey and I'm really not. I mean I am with my husband and children but not so much other people. I Hate that I always ALWAYS think the worst about almost every situation. I hate that before my husband came along that I was almost 100% right about the bad things that were going to happen. I hate that it's hard for me to take a compliment! I hate that I don't make more time to do crafts with my children. I hate that I forget to think heavenly father as much as I should. I hate that I'm not closer to my family.

  Now that I got most of the ''I hates'' out of me, I will tell you that no matter how negative I am today. I'm going to be that much more positive tomorrow. I have let people take my happiness and I am taking it back. My family deserve me and the happy me. Not the negative one. :) I think that I thought that I didn't deserve to be happy. Or that I wasn't good enough. But not anymore. Why would you spend your life unhappy? So I am NOT anymore. I'm going to be the best me I can be. I will not let others bring me down!

Today is the first day of the rest of my happy life... Or something like that. lol <3

Addy and her Addytude! ;)

My sweet angel is such a drama gueen! She was digging threw my purce trying to steal mommies gum and she couldn't find it she put her hand on her hip and said are you freaking kidding me! lol oh my goodness I'm in for some fun teen years! lol My husband jokes about only having boys in the future because she is a hand full! 

Addy also started dance class!! she loves it!! The only down fall is that she thinks she has to wear a dress 24/7 NO LIE! She will freak out if she doesn't get to wear a dress! She is such a minny me! I love it! I hope we always have a close relationship! I pray she will always be able to talk to me about anything! I <3 her so very much!

Logan can CRAWL! :)

I'm so excited Logan about 2 weeks ago started to crawl! It's so cute he does his army crawl and backwards crawl and them gets up on all fours and rocks! He is such a blessing all my kiddoes are! I think as I get older watching my kids grow goes soooo much faster them when I had my first child and I was younger! It makes me want to freeze time and just stare at my kids for a little while! 

I remember wishing time would hurry when I was pregnant! and NOW he is almost 9 months old! where did time go!?!?!  I'm already having baby fever again! lol I'm going to wait a year or two tho!! I want to enjoy all my kids for a while! three is a hand full but I <3 everything about being a mother of 3 amazing babies!

loving Cloth! Well for now! lol

 Today is our fist day using cloth! And I have to say I LOVE THEM. I really didn't think it would be this easy, now by next week I might not feel the same way! lol 

Logan seems to LOVE them! OK he really could care less what he has on, but I really think he looks super cute in them! I have went threw about 4 of the diapers including a poopy one! Baby poo doesn't really bother me so I just washing it of and Hung it to dry and I will wash them tomorrow. I still have a lot of wipes left so I haven't started using the cloth wipes yet. I really haven't had time to make the solution is the only reason.  The new diapers have leaked a little but that's to be expected. Also We have a lot of pink cloth diapers so I have had my baby boy in pink! he he

I have NO disposable diapers in the house so lets hope everything works out good tonight! :)
