Pure Crazziness!!

So It's been forever and a day since I last updated our family blog. Why you ask...because it has been PURE CRAZINESS these past couple of months. With being pregnant, summer traveling, school starting, MOVING, unpacking, driving kids in ten different directions twenty times a day it seems like, Ben's work,etc...the list has been going ON AND ON AND ON for our little family! What's even crazier is that we are due to have our fifth little one here in a few short weeks...WOW is all I can think to say somedays when I think about it to much. :) To be honest though, we are finally feeling somewhat settled in our new "life" and with all that has been going on, we have somehow been able to get into a routine, unpacked, settled in, and now mom can start focusing on getting things ready for our last little one to arrive. Yes you heard righ, our LAST little one. :) This pregnancy has absoultly FLOWN BY. People ask all of the time when I'm due, if I've gotten things ready, etc.. I have not done ONE thing to prepare for this little guy, so I'm very excited to say that this next week will be filled with preparing for baby boy! To back up a little bit, we had the best summer ever! This year we purchased the famous "pass of all passes" here that Utah has to offer. Highly recommended by the way to all you mommies out there! We pretty much LIVED at Seven Peaks Water park, Trafalga, and the bowling alley with the kids. American Fork Pool was also a weekly occurance around here. And yes, I did this all on my own most of the time with four little ones and prego...you can imagine the looks I got. lol My older three are awesome water babies though so they did great and there is no better way then fun in the sun entertainemtn to help the days go by. Of course there were a few trips made to Idaho this Summer as well. I had my TEN year class reunion...yes, I'm offically old now! It was way fun seeing old friends and catching up, I could have stayed all night and visited with all of my wonderful MHS classmates. My little sister Taucia had her second little one, so me and the kids made a trip to Idaho Falls to help her paint her adorable nursery and get things ready for when her sweet little Lundyn Lee Cherry arrived. (how cute of a name is that ps!) and even made it back to Rexburg for ben's sister's baby blessing and a wedding for one of his cousins. So yes, we were on the go all summer long you could say! So much fun, and I'm missing it already. If you can't tell, I'm one of those crazy moms who has to be doing something to keep us all constatnly busy...I'm pretty sure we wore the poor husband out by the time school started. Little did he know how crazy life was going to get once that begun!! Brooklyn started 2nd grade this year...oh my gosh my baby is a big girl now! Austin is now in Kindergarten, and Talon has started preschool! All three of them are at different times, and our new house doesn't have a bus system out here. SOOO, lucky me gets to drive all three of them to school and pick them all up at different times...so poor Dru gets drug around all day and put in and out of the car 4-5 times a day just picking up kids! We are in the middle of figuring out some carpool options right now as we are meeting new neighbors...so hopefully that all slows down eventually! But school itself, the kids are LOVING it. We just had paretn teacher night last week and I'm proud to report that their teachers love them all and only had great things to say as well, so that was a relief!! Now onto the they fun stuff...our new house! Moving was qutie the adventure, and boy did it happen fast once it happened. There was a house just a subdivision down from us that we had been keeping our eye one...but we kind of gave up because from what we udnerstood there were tons of other offers on it (short sell) and the primary offer was pretty solid. Well, one night Ben saw online that the realtor had JUST posted that the primary offer fell through and the next best offer she would take. So, of course we ran over bright and early and went through it, fell in love, and by that night they had accenpted our offer and we had a week and a half to be in. Every day that day was something such as an inspection, walk throughs, cleaning, etc... Well, this all happened SOO fast that we had to find someone else to rent our other house becuase we hadn't sold it yet. I had people coming through 3 to 4 times a day, crazies making offers and practically throwing money at us to rent that house, which was great that we could be picky, but it was a little overwheliming. So tryign to show that house, while pack, while get the other house move in ready, while starting my kids in school, ontop of doc appts, and being 7 months pregnant...I overdid it somewhat and had a few complications with the pregnancy. I started bleeding, spotting here and there, and was told I needed to be super careful and slow it down. Perfect timing right? Well needless to say, I have the awesomest friends anyone could ever ask for, and from that moment on, I had HANDFULS of girls coming over daily helping me pack, cleaning the house, cleaning our new house, taking my kids, making us dinners. And the amount of people that came to actually help us move...it brought tears to my eyes and stil does because I am so grateful for such an awesome community and amazing friends. We are truely blessed! We love our house, it is exactly what we wanted and I feel like the luckiest girl that things have worked out the way they have for us. I'm trying to upload our fun summer pics but of course "blogger" is being dumb so I will try again tomorrow! Thank you again to all of you wonderful friends and family who have helped us these past couple of crazy months, we love you and are so gratful for all of you!
