September Two Thousand and Eight

This season is so full of mood swings it is not even funny. In weather, it could be a mild fall day; now that the first day of fall is right around the corner, or because we live in Montana it could blizzarding, or even 90 degrees out ,which it almost hit just the other day.

It is also in our lives that our mood swings happen, especially during this season. Like Angela just blogged about 9/11 memories happen, school has just begun, summer just got over so we are waiting anxiously to get out the new fall decor, gotta get out the cold clothes boxes and start putting up the warm clothes (if you live in Cali, I guess you really don't have to think about this one) so many things are going on in our lives it may get a little crazy!!! Well, I have been trying to come up with solutions in our family, cause if you know me, I have usually about 12 things on my plate at a time. Do you want me to mention them?? Better not might ruin my mood. This is supposed to be an encouraging bloob, blog, boob, blog!!! Ha ha ha. I really did type that. Anyways...

So we have taken up doing things like evening walks, high school football games (which steve of course loves), watching hero's or smallville when the kids are in bed, ice cream, exercising (not for the weak at heart), meeting regularly with my hubby just to talk about life (we do have to actually have to schedule that one), one of our favorite's reading Emily's choice books usually the snake story, (story of Adam and Eve) and we hope to get out of town for a little bit this next weekend (yes) whatever it is to you and your families pleasure; do it, do it now. Don't wait another night they need you and you need it. God has given you your families to enjoy them. I have forgotten that many times but I choose even through the business of life I find joy in being with the family God has given me.

And just so you know I snuck the picture of me kissing noah in there of when he was just born he is quite the little porker now!

Flashback Friday!!! These are from my pregnancy with Noah. I enjoy seeing my pregnant belly again. Don't all hate me at once, but I wouldn't mind thinking about having another little one soon in the shape of another belly!!! I had good pregnancies what can i say! Especially love the picture of my hubby and I.

The mom in me

AHHHH!! The life of a mother. Means many things to me at this very moment some hard but most of all wonderful. Noah, Emily and I are doing good. Have loved having the cousins home even though they leave in just days! We spend most of our days trying to survive the hot in our house, waiting patiently for daddy to come home and chase Emily since mom has been doing it already and have said that is all I can do.

Just looking at the pictures Amber took of us makes me thankful for the beautiful things children bring into your life. Besides the hospital bills, questions of if we are parenting right, wondering why Noah is crying, trying to make the family happy. I praise my Lord Jesus for my amazingly smart daughter that can count to ten and keep me smiling daily, a handsome husband that loves me even when I cry for nothing, and the stunning son that is growing up way too fast. My heart is overwhelmed with some many emotions most of all the fact that being a mom never felt so good.

Noah Bradley Fleming

Noah Bradley Fleming was born around 10:30 AM Monday, May 12, 2008. Enjoy the photos! He was exactly 7 pounds and 20 1/4 inches long!

Family

The month of March was gone in a flash and we are already into the 2nd week of April. WoW! Well, the last two months have been full of many things one of those being Haircuts. Emily got her first haircut. The Saturday before Easter I decided ti make her baby hair grow better and healthier she needed a haircut and before bed we did it. It turned out A-line which was a total accident but cute as come be. She likes it and now talks about her hair to total strangers. So I thought that I would share some pictures of her Easter morning, one we got of the family, which has been our only one forever. Of coarse not having internet has made keeping up on blogging a big bummer, but hopefully that will all change soon.

Green Day!

Happy St. Patrick's day. We had to take miss Emily to the parade downtown Great Falls, which she loved cause she gets "tweets" (candy in our language). It was windy of coarse so that was alittle cold but it was a good outing for the Fleming family. Being the family with the least amount of green on our bodies was sort of funny but pregnant women only have so much they can choose from right! Emily was sporting her green undies, and that was her green for the day! So to all you Irishmen, Happy Green Day!

Lovin' the belly

Ok here are the latest belly pictures using missy's camera, not bad! I had to do these quick shots before I go crazy not getting to blog or even get on the internet FOREVER! Well, I find out Thursday if I am still measuring 3 1/2 weeks early! Of coarse it is great to have this little kicker inside me, the feeling of the rolls and twirls. But the pelvis is feeling pretty worked on. I am really low and straight out the front which is a little different then with little emily that made my belly big all over. Hope you are enjoying the beginnings of spring. Still trying to finish the upstairs of our house so we can enjoy or Spring with a new baby! Check you all later.
