Mothers Day Brunch

Ok, So I haven't blogged in months...so here is my attempt at it again! Since I'm not homeless

and I'm finally moved into our new house I don't really have an excuse to not blog...

This is me and Mika at her school for a Mothers Day Brunch.

November!

My cousin Aaron got married! The wedding was in Indiana...It was a long trip but the kids did great!! The wedding was beautiful and so much fun.

Mika only made it through half of the reception before she fell asleep.. I'm not sure how she was able to sleep since the music was soooo loud!

So we sold our house in early November and found a house to buy. We were so excited about moving and the day before we were supposed to close on both houses we got a call from the bank telling us that the house we were buying was in a high level flood zone. We needed to bring a lot of extra money to closing to purchase flood insurance! This was news to everyone involved including the owners of the house.. Very long story short... A little creek runs behind our "new" house and FEMA designated everyone on the street to be in a high level flood zone..It is not accurate but you have to jump through hoops to get it corrected... So, we are homeless for the moment until they get it fixed. We love the house so much so we are willing to wait.. It could take 30-60 days... we are praying for 30. We have been staying with my parents ande Michaels parents.. Being homeless is starting to take a toll on everyone.

The front of my "new" house

This is the back yard.. looks like a flood zone huh?? There is a creek but there is no water in it plus there is a 10ft retaining wall...FEMA, FEMA, FEMA!!!

October Fun!

Pumpkin carving time!! Kennedy loved getting all the yuck out of the pumpkin.. Mika was grossed out!

Our church had a Fall Festival. We had a great time hanging out with family and friends!

Trick or Treating Fun!!

Mika, Mika, Mika!

Tonight while I was cooking dinner I heard an unusual noise in the bathroom..when I went to take a look... this is what I found!! "Look mommy, I put on make-up like you!" Thankfully it was just play make-up and not mine! Let me just say, I don't wear blue eyeshadow!! After taking a pic. I went to check on dinner and when I came back she had painted her whole face!! She was so cute.. Thank you Mika Moo for always making us laugh!! We love you!!

Family Camping Trip

This weekend we went camping with my family. We went to Cleburne State Park which is near Dinosaur Valley in Glenn Rose. We had the best time! Lots of hiking, biking, playing, laughing and talking! Kennedy in her "happy camper" t-shirt! All the kids having fun playing outside. On Saturday we went to Dinosaur Valley for some hiking and dino fun! Checkin out the map! Family Pic. -Mika is hiding behing me! Real dino print!

On our hiking adventure! We had a hard time getting the kids to wait for us...the farther we got the slower they got...then they decided we needed to take a break...The view from the top was worth it! They were happy to finally get to play in the creek... which by the way we saw a snake like 3 feet from us!!

On Sunday we went hiking again.. This time we took a 2 mile hike (which by the way doesn't sound hard but add 4 kids to the picture then it changes) to the "water spillway". We finally made it to our destination only to find there was no water at the spillway! Oh well, it was still fun... we saw 2 snakes and Jon almost caught one! "the spillway"
