I remember when Ashtyn was born, the whole dynamic of our family changed
This tiny little lady brought so much new joy and experience into our lives!
One day when she was still a newborn I was changing her diaper at Grandma's house
there were plenty of people around.
All the sudden Law -then 3- yells 
"MOM! WHAT HAPPENED TO HER PENIS??"
I was so young and SO BADLY wanted to say
"OH NO! I DON'T KNOW? IT MUST'VE FALLEN OFF!"
But I didn't I really REALLY wanted to!
I just explained that girl's didn't have them just boys did.
Law was SO convinced that I had one though lol
"YOU DO HAVE ONE MOM! YOU DON'T HAVE ONE? Grandma, do YOU have one"
It was definitely a funny experience.
Today
My sweet little 3-year old -Grey made an important discovery.
I was changing Ashtyn's diaper, of course, when he came in and...
Grey: "Wait! why does she does not have a penis?"
Mom: "because girls don't have penises just boys do"
Grey: "oh, ok" turn and....almost walk away...almost too easy.
Turn back panicked and yell-
"MOM! Do you do not have a penis?!?"
It was like all the sudden it clicked -Mom's a girl?? -She doesn't have one!
Mom: "Nope, -I'm a girl"
I knew what was coming next this scenario was all too familiar
Grey: "YOU DON'T?! WHY...WHAT...HUH!?" 
-as if he'd just been betrayed or something
Then something new
Grey: "YOU DON'T HAVE ONE?? SHOW ME! I HAVE ONE -SEE!!..."
....Yeah it's a good thing we were at home for this one
Mom: "I'm not gonna show you, now put that thing away."

So we just found out the other day that we're expecting our second child. I don't really know what to say because it doesn't feel like a reality, I'm still trying to grasp the thought that I have one! Anyrate I am due the 6th of March which seems so far away! I am so excited! I am also struggling with tons of feelings of anxiety and some worries, like will Law feel replaced or feel I don't love him as much? Will I love them both equally? etc. etc. Did/Do any of you have worries like this? How do I help Law cope with pregnancy and a new sibling? Any advice?

I REALLY don't like it when.....

MOMS, YOUR THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS NEEDED! A few months ago I was in Walmart :P with three VERY small children. Law was being a very happy playful self -which is rare so I REALLY enjoy these moments. Not bothering anyone or anything just being happy, laughing, and playing  when an old man came around the corner and SH'd him harshly it caught him off guard he was scared and sad. I didn't do anything -not because I agreed with the man that he needed to 'SSHHH!!' but because I just didn't know what to do! I have regretted not saying something to that man ever since. We are a loud family and Law does have a big voice but he didn't need to do that it was rude and uncalled for. Today I visited that same Walmart for the first time since then and my boys were running around the cart as I was checking out -just being happy, not being destructive at all -and believe me I'd be the first to admit if they were being too rowdy -it's not uncommon. However this time, lik...

Our Trip to Texas

My eldest sister Diana moved to Texas last year with her six children who, since I spent time growing up with them, are like my little sisters and brothers! Now my other big sister Maria moved down there too! I love them all and miss them so much! Law and I had a chance to go and visit them for a whole WEEK! It was wonderful, so in this blog I am going to tell you a little bit about what we did, as well as tell you a little about my nieces, nephews and my big sisters! Since Maria was going to be moving down there she and Kennadee came to stay with us so we could all fly down together. I was so excited that someone was coming to see my new house that I went crazy cleaning everything! which didn't last long... I don't know if you can tell but those are tiny baby foot prints on my woodfloor -cute! We arrived in Austin where Diana and Aaron were waiting for us and drove to Hutto, where my two sistas now live! I love that the have water towers EVERYWHERE! We'll start with the k...
