Linking up with jeannette again for a fun fill instafriday!

The kids have a way cool dad, he took them to pick out a hamster:) They all sit in a circle and let it run in the ball between the all!!!

AJ discovered the iPad, and loves the little phonics\animal game. I let him play the other night trying to get him to go to sleep, he ended up playing for 2 hrs laying next to me on the bed! I can't get over how cute his little fingers are on the screen!!

The boy sleeps with us every night, most the time when Lee is on shift I don't mind having him cuddle with me, this particular night I am pretty sure i ended up with no room on the bed:)

Yuck weather has been horrible, hot, and humid and the trips to phoenix seriously are miserable!!!! Especially with leather seats!! ouchie!!

I am so amazed and sad how fast this pregnancy went by, 35 weeks on monday, and I am pretty sure It'll only be a few weeks (like 2 maybe) after that before Baby B makes his arrival!

instead of going to phoenix we took a trip up the mountain to beautiful prescott!! 88 degrees and gorgeous!! Ariel and hailee had so chore money they wanted to buy books with and so we headed to the mall only to find barnes and noble had closed, and in its place lunier golf! I despise golf and so daddy took all four kids to play golf while I got to walk around and shop at the mall!!! sweet!!!!!

Sometimes I forget how gorgeous inside and out this girl is! she has a heart of gold, and Im so blessed God entrusted her to me!

Daddy daughter enchilada team, our favorite dinner!!!

What was I thinking scheduling maternity photo shoot in az in july!!!! ugh it was hot 107 right before hailee and I got out of the car to get started!!! But I am so excited to see the pictures!!!

School shopping for Ariel = so stressful, finally I gave up and sent her momma a picture of the shorts, that ariel thought were to long! Crazy child! I had never been so happy that Hailee wears uniforms to here school, and totally give Nicki props for patience during school clothes shopping with a pre-teen!

I have been dying for a farmhouse\work bench island for our kitchen I lve the rustic look mixed with modern and after stalking craigslist and thrift stores with no luck, I finally found the perfect one! It had been in the huge shed we just got rid of the entire time!!!! I am so excited to finish it up, along with the rest of the kitchen!!!!

I have no words these boys own my heart and are so so so adorable!!!

35 weeks...

2012-06-29T17:25:00.003-07:00

35 weeks yep I can't believe it!! Time has flown by, Im actually a little sad its almost over. Its our last baby, and well Im a Little sad I will never feel a little baby in me again!! Anyways little Brantlee Scott is definitely growing, we had his last ultrasound a week ago and he weighed 4 lbs 3 oz., he is already almost the same size Adrian was when he was born( 4 lbs 8 ozs) so Im thinking he'll be about 6 lbs when he arrives!!! I haven't decided if I want to go for the elective c-section, or try a vbac? They both have cons and negatives! I however better figure it out soon, because honestly I think he'll be here around 37-38 weeks!!!
Either way I have been nesting like a crazy person, and have a few projects to come back to show you tomorrow!!!!!

Insta friday

2012-05-25T09:46:00.000-07:00

I am linking up my weekly phone pictures with jeannett!!!

This week has been long, we have hardly seen Lee, he has been working, working, and more worrking. between the firehouse, and the ambulance crew he has been busy!!

This being hailee's last week in school, and before Lee went back to work for 3 days we decided to take the kids out to box canyon and let them play and lee and I relax a little, how can you not relax out here?? perfectly quiet!!!

Up far to late editing pictures from said trip!!

The little man would not sleep anywhere, but in my arms while i edited pictures! talk about multi-tasking!!!

These two are cousins, but pretty sure the little blondies could pass for brothers!!

Sadiest part of the week, my sister and her family moving to Wyoming, breaks my heart that little quincy won't be around! I love that little man!!! oh and my sister too:)

Happiest part of my week Hailee girl's last day of school!!!!!We will be working on our summer fun list this week!!!

And because he is so cute, and an angel when he sleeps

patience and positive thinking

2012-05-25T08:51:00.001-07:00

Lately I have been irritable, not just a little 29 weeks pregnant irritable, ALOT irritable. With my husband, with my kids, with everyone really. The people that get the main part of the craptastic attitude though, are the ones that are by far the most important, least deserving ones. My family!
So while researching the internet I came across an Ebook called Mindset for Moms by Jamie C. Martin. So I went ahead downloaded in ibooks and started reading, thinking I would get a Chapter in and be done with it. I have never been big on reading the "self help books" but by chapter three, I was hooked it made sense, the more I keep reading it made even more sense!
Here's a few of my favorite excerpts:

"The way to live a life of miracles is to expect life to be full of miracles. It's called faith. It's available for the taking."

"What if instead, you believe your vision could work out, that the abundant life was yours for the taking, that by expecting the best not only would you be blessed, but you could also impacted the lives of your family and the world?"

Begin doing what you want now. We have only this moment, sparkling life a star in our hands and melting life a snowflake. Let us use it before its to late.- Marie Beynon Ray

I can't say that I will never yell and scream again, because in reality thats a lie. I don't want to sow anger into my children, I want to sow kindness, gentleness, patience and positive thinking. I can say that I am going to try my best to be patient with them, and remember that they are young and need my guidence as there mommy, and remember how blessed I AM to be given the chance to be their mom!

I'm back!!

2012-05-20T13:34:00.001-07:00

So long time no talk! Right? Our lives have been hectic, depressing at some points, and totally surprising, and happy at others! So is life I guess, it's a roller coaster ride, and I'm finally ready to crawl back out of my hole and enjoy the ride!! I have a ton to share with you so I hope you come back soon!!!

It's hard to believe November is already here, it seems like I was just barely writing about getting ready for THIS trip. I guess time flies when you are having fun!!!!!!!!
Anyways back to the orginal point of this post! Halloween of course! We truly had a blast. Ussually we stick around town for halloween but it was getting pretty boring, so we decided to change it up! Plus this was the last yr that we would have ARiel on halloween before she was a teenager ( we rotate off every yr with her mom) so we wanted to make it special!

As a kid I wasn't EVER aloud to celebrate H-ween but always had this picture stuck in my head of tree lined falling leave streets, it being nice and cool, tons of people all in costume, and decorated house ect.

Well last night thats exactly what we got!!!!

People went all out in prescott!! Mt. Vernon is the main road we hit, its a road I swore Id have a house on when I grew up! I didnt realize that house had a hefty price tag of about 400000-800000! Yikes!!! Im still dreaming:)

Anyways enough enough you are in it for pics so here goes!
Warning picture heavy!!

This maze was so fun! I screamed the kids screamed and aj well he was throwing punches at anyone who tried to scary him..no seriously he was!!! We had a fabulous night hope every one else did too! Now on to thanksgiving!

This morning little Aj got up and decided he needed to go help daddy work on his new jeep, so 630 in the morning momma gets up and gets him dressed. He has a new fasination with charlees cowboy hat, so momma buts it on and he heads out. He was so adorable I ran back inside and grab my camera.

Today's inspiration....

2011-09-23T07:37:00.000-07:00

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~ Mark Twain

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.~ Eleanor Roosevelt

"Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere."

~ Author Unknown

The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." ~ Lao Tzu

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

The Big 5!!

2011-09-12T13:18:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it, our little Charlee is %(technically not until the 15th)!We had your party yesterday, you got to spend the entire weekend with grandma before it so we could surprise you!!

We bought you a 3 wheeler bike and some clothes, shoes and bug catcher to catch bugs for your little lizards!
We had spagetti with long noodles which is your favorite!! Momma and Autn sissy also made you a lego cake, plus it finally Rained which was so nice!

Happy birthday sweet boy momma loves you to the moon and back!!

2011-08-29T14:18:00.000-07:00

Can you believe its already a week shy of being september?? Sadly it's still HOT!!! I can't believe how fast the yr. is going by, such mixed emotions about it. On one hand I can't wait for christmas but then again it means Char-man is going to be 5 in a few weeks, baby Aj is going on two, and Hailee is turning 7 oh my that alone is crazyness!

We were hanging around home the other day, and Aj was actually in the mood to take pictures! Which doesn't happen that often so I pulled out the camera and started snapping away. Thankfully my other two love their picture being takin.

Those kids are so darn cute!!!!!! I have made a commitment to take my camera Everywhere with me like I use to, I looked at old pictures the other day and had at least one picture from everyday!! now I am lucky to have one once a week!! I know one day Im going to look back and wish I had takin more pictures of our little family, so thats my goal.. hope you enjoyed the cuteness!

being a grown up isn't always fun...

2011-08-03T14:03:00.000-07:00

Things have been stressful lately. I have been clinging to the truths that I know. Those truths are that God has a plan, bigger than any plan I could ever possibly fathom, a plan for our finances, a plan for our family, a plan for everything.....THat plan may or may not have me driving, living in and wearing the nicest hippest stuff or it may, those things shouldnt matter the bible says  "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If you love the world, the love of the Father is not in you." 1 John 2:15, sometimes I forget that material things as nice as they are to have don't matter, living for christ and being a Godly example to my children is what is important.

I think sometimes I get so bogged down in the day to do and the moving on to the next thing, that I forget about the here and now, I forget to slow down, calm down and be present for my husband and my 3 babies. I have this favorite blog that I read all the time, I actually know the girl in person not just from her blog:) but if you know me I don't really talk to people, I have a habit of sticking to myself   (trying to work on that) anyhoo her blog is Live big Love bigger, Go check it out look at her amazing pictures, and drool! She has two of the cutest girls I have ever seen other than my girl, but hey I could be a little bias on that. Back to my point today has been especcially trying and it seems like the minute we think we have things figured out, something else falls apart, today on the above mentioned blog there was a bible verse it read

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.
                                                                                                       Ecclesiastes 3:15

It doesn't say following Christ gives you all "good" seasons with no trials, it says theres a time for everything the good and the bad and as much as I dislike the bad there are lessons to learn from it...There is a sign hanging in my parents house or my sisters I don't remember which one but it says And this to shall pass, my prayer today is that I remember that...

Our weekend in pictures

2011-08-01T21:23:00.000-07:00

I did quiet a bit of sewing this weekend which was fun! Ariel also got to bring her instrument home to show everyone, it was pretty interesting listening to her practicing on it:) We also had my brothers going away party Wednesday. He ships out tomorrow morning for boot camp,we are all super proud of him! All in all we had a pretty relaxing weekend,lee and I got the chance to go on a quiet day date Sunday (thanks Nicki and Rosie) that was so nice,we went to lunch and then walked around costco( we aren't old or anything) and then went and found miss hailee and the mall with her sister and her mom.
That was our weekend,this next week im hoping to get a few fun projects around the house done! Have a wonderful week!

Xoxo,
Rebekah

saturday love....

Lyrics to This Is The Stuff :

I lost my keys in the great unknown

And call me please 'Cuz I can't find my phone

This is the stuff that drives me crazy

This is the stuff that's getting to me lately

In the middle of my little mess

I forget how big I'm blessed

This is the stuff that gets under my skin

But I gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing

It might not be what I would choose

But this is the stuff You use

45 in a 35

Sirens and fines while I'm running behind

Whoa

This is the stuff that drives me crazy

This is the stuff that's getting to me lately

In the middle of my little mess

I forget how big I'm blessed

This is the stuff that gets under my skin

But I gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing

It might not be what I would choose

But this is the stuff You use

So break me of impatience

Conquer my frustrations

I've got a new appreciation

It's not the end of the world

Oh Oh Oh

This is the stuff that drives me crazy

This is the stuff

Someone save me

In the middle of my little mess

I forget how big I'm blessed

This is the stuff that gets under my skin

And I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing

It might not be what I would choose

But this is the stuff You use

Oh Oh Oh Oh

This is the stuff You use

I lost my keys in the great unknown

And call me please 'Cuz I can't find my phone

This is the stuff that drives me crazy

This is the stuff that's getting to me lately

In the middle of my little mess

I forget how big I'm blessed

This is the stuff that gets under my skin

But I gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing

It might not be what I would choose

But this is the stuff You use

45 in a 35

Sirens and fines while I'm running behind

Whoa

This is the stuff that drives me crazy

This is the stuff that's getting to me lately

In the middle of my little mess

I forget how big I'm blessed

This is the stuff that gets under my skin

But I gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing

It might not be what I would choose

But this is the stuff You use

So break me of impatience

Conquer my frustrations

I've got a new appreciation

It's not the end of the world

Oh Oh Oh

This is the stuff that drives me crazy

This is the stuff

Someone save me

In the middle of my little mess

I forget how big I'm blessed

This is the stuff that gets under my skin

And I've gotta trust You know exactly what You're doing

It might not be what I would choose

But this is the stuff You use

Oh Oh Oh Oh

This is the stuff You use

I love Francesca battistelli it was just what I need this am!! Might be hinting to the hubby to surprise me with her cd:)

I have been wanting a bright piece of art work for the house for a while now. The prices of art is well out of my price range, and I have seen lots of DIY piece, and I had canvas and craft paint and a brush. So if this didn't work out I wasn't out anything :) It was a time consuming project manly because it was all free hand, but I love it!!! Now I just need to find exactly were I want it, my orginal plan was to place it above the fireplace, however we ended up mounting our tv there so now Im thinking of doing a large picture\art wall right at the entry way. Without further ado my project....................

The bottom isn't even but I still love it, perfectly imperfect:)
