I'm the mom....

When did that happen? Don't get me wrong I love being a mom, but some days I still can't believe I am the mom. I have two great kids and we are "working" on a 3. I spend all day and night with my kidos and they have become very attached. I have only left Adelaide a hand full of times with Kimber (who we miss terrible). Ben wants to be able to spend time with them witch I get but I need a brake now and then. Oh how I want a really date night with out kids. I find myself telling Thomas when trying to get him to do something he doesn't want to do that I am the mom. Just do what I say and stop telling me no! By the end of the night I am just done being the mom.
Ben is gone a lot. Between school, work, and training for his new job he is never home so now I feel like a single mom. I have been dropping Ben off at school and picking him up giving our family about an hour of time to be together (in the van) Our few hours between school and work Ben gets in a nap or homework, and at some time between 2am and 4am he sneaks into bed with me for a few hours of sleep. My poor hubby. How blessed am I to have a husband that is willing to go threw all of that to make our family's life better. On Monday I will get my hubby back for bedtime and I can't wait. But for the rest of the week I will be the mom and snuggle with my hubby when I can.

Things have been crazy!

So life has been crazy the last few weeks. Adelaide and Thomas are getting so big. We got a new minivan that we LOVE, for a song.






Little Miss Adelaide is trying with all her might to walk!



Last week we all went to Alaska to insure our residence. Thomas had so much fun out at Jim Creek and with his cousins.













And in other news the day we got back from Alaska Ben had a job interview for a xray tech. And today they called back and offered him the job! YEA! He will be working with patients.

My boys are gone!

Well last night Adelaide and I took Ben and Thomas to the airport. Thomas was so excited to see the airplanes. They let me go to the gate with Ben to drop them off, apparently all you have to do is ask. It took us a little to get threw security. We had two full bottles and two full sippy cups that had to be "examined". We got a seat at our gate right in front of the window and watched "the guys" get the plane ready. We were told that the plane was fairly empty so Ben and Thomas got their own row. Thomas kept asking me if he could go on a ride. I said yes and he was so excited. When they called for pre-boarders we headed to the gate. I gave Thomas a love and kiss and he took of down the ramp, so I got a quick kiss from Ben and he ran off after him. Then they were gone.

I got a call at 3 am from Ben, Thomas and him were in the van with mom and dad, and I could hear Thomas crying. My poor baby! Ben said Thomas slept almost the whole flight. He woke up when they landed and was happy and ready to see mommy. Thomas ran down the ramp calling for me and running to a lady grabbing her leg before realizing it was not me. Thomas then lost it when Ben told him mommy wasn't there. They had a long night but things have been better as the day goes on.

i am hoping that Ben gets all the grant stuff figured out and that we can move forward from here. I miss them so much and can't wait for them to be home with us soon!
