Prego Update

2009-07-13T11:15:00.000-07:00

So I am at 31 weeks and counting. This pregnancy has been an interesting one to say the least. I have been doing good with weight gain only 8 lbs. so far but I am sure it is more now. I have a doctor appointment on next Monday the 20th. So we will find out how much I weigh and if anything has changed. I am feeling okay except for the fact that my pelvic bone is killing. And my back feels like it has been out for over a week. My morning sickness has kinda sorta been under control lately. Some things still set me off like chicken and eggs seem to make me sick. But that is just life. Alexander's 3rd birthday is this up coming Sunday the 19th. We are very excited we are not quiet sure what we are going to do yet. We are trying to decide between going camping for the weekend and doing lots of little things like going to Tillamook and crabbing and fishing. Or going up to Portland and going to the big Zoo then going out to dinner. So we are still debating on that. Alex and I are leaving on the 23rd for my mom's. We will be there until the 13th of August. It will be a lot of fun.I have a class reunion, Alex is having another birthday party at my mom's, we are going to a Tracy Larwence concert at the vale rodeo grounds, and the fair is also in town when we go home. We are also going to go to the drive in which will be a lot of fun. I love the Drive in and Alex I am sure he will love it. Then when we get back it is just kinda scrambling around trying to get things ready before my mom and grandma get here. They are coming over for my c-section which is scheduled for September 14th. We will be leaving here on the 10th to go up to Portland to be with my cousin for his wedding. He is getting married on the 12th and Alex is a ring bearer. So we will be juggling a lot that week. LOL leave it to my family to be complicated. But it will all work out just fine I will have a bag packed for the hospital just in case and will have all the routes to the nearest hospitals mapped out. Just to be on the safe side. And we will also have the car seat and stuff like that already in the car so as not to be stuck without one. But I am sure everything will work out for the best. Well that about catches everyone up to date and I will post again some time soon. Loves to you all. Sabrina, Travis, Alexander, and (Skye)

Well it has been a really long time since I wrote. Well to catch you up my cousin Effie got all butt hurt because we asked her to get a job or go to school. She decided that we where being unfair and moved out over night. Which I really don't care anymore she has dug her own grave and I feel bad for her children but they are not my problem. I have some happy news to report. Travis and I are expecting another child due September 14th. So we are really excited for that. The ultrasound was an early one to determine how far along I was so it is a guess right now that we are having a boy but not for sure. Travis has been really sick lately and not working so things are kinda tight around our house and on edge. But we will make it though we always do. Today is Travis birthday!!! Yay he is twenty-six today. Alex is doing good growing like a weed and getting smarter every day. His vocabulary amazes me every day. He is doing really good with potty training as well. I think in a few more weeks we could be just to night time diapers. At least that is what I am hoping for. But it will come in time I am sure. Well it just about time that I need to head into town so I am going to sign off of here and get dressed. Love to you and all of yours.

OH my gosh it has been a long time.......

2008-12-09T13:21:00.000-08:00

Well I know that is has been a very long time since I posted. I hope you all forgive me. I have been terribly busy the last few weeks with getting my house settled and trying to keep the roof from caving in. LOL. The weekend before Thanksgiving I took my first cross state driving trip by myself. Well kinda Alex went with me but a two year old is not exactly an intellectual talker. So you know. But I made it my entire family was scared to death and I had to make a million calls every town I got to. But we made it. I had a nice visit with my mom and the rest of the family. I saw quite a few old family members that I hadn't got to see in a really long time. But it all to soon came to an end and I had to head back to my life here in the suburb. My cousin Effie and her two small children came back with me to live. So my house has been slightly crazy. Then Zach our other roommate has his two boys on the weekend. which makes five small children and four adults in one house it is freaking crazy. There are days that I don't know what to do. Then since Friday Alex has been really sick with the flu. Which really sucks. Then day before last I seemed to have caught his bug so I am typing to you in my pj's from my bed. Needless to say it sucks but my cousin and room mate have been helping me out a lot.I am still trying to get the house ready for the holidays but seems like nothing is coming together. But that is how it goes in our house. I have pictures to post later of thanksgiving back home but I will have to put them up later as my camera is in the truck in town with Travis. Well I am going to sign off now so I can try to get some sleep and try to relax. Hope all is well in your worlds. May the spirit of Christ fill you this holiday season.

So it has been a few days since I updated this thing. Well to catch you up. Travis did not attend his graduation on Friday. He was very sick and was unable to make it. So we didn't get to do that. So now we are all feeling better and the sickness has been kicked out. LOL. So now we are just getting the house ready for the winter. I am catching up on washing blankets and doing up all the bedding. Also I am getting ready for my cousin Effie and her two kids to move in with us. We are going to eastern oregon the weekend before Thanksgiving to get her. I am excited for her to move in with us. Her son is 27 hours younger than Alexander. And her daughter is two weeks old. She is just about ten months younger than I am. So we should be having a lot of fun and Zach which is our other room mate has informed me that he will have at least one of his boys each weekend so on the weekends we might have as many as five little kids running around in the house all from the age of 2 and a half to newborn. I am loving the thought of it. I have always wanted a whole mess of kids and now we are going to have it for the most part I still want to have a couple more of my own but I just might have to settle for right now. I have a feeling that there is going to be a lot of close to wash and a lot of dishes to wash. And a million toys to pick up every night but I am excited for it. Wel in other news I am taking the placement test for college on this friday. I am so scared and excited I hope I do well. Then on saturday we are going to the pumpkin patch and doing the hayride and fun things like that. Then on monday I have my New student Info session. And the registartion on tuesday. Wow it is crazy how fast I am making come together. Well life is coming together I am so happy.

Lazy rainy days

2008-10-09T16:06:00.000-07:00

Today is a lazy day in our house. Travis is sick so he has been home from work today. I have been doing laundry which you can see the big pile behind Alex in the video. I did get a chance to soak in a nice warm bath which was wonderful. It is one of those days that I felt like baking. So Alexander and I made an Oreo cookie cake. The video is of Alex helping me lick the bowl which is always the best part ;). He has a little bit of cold which you can hear in the end of the video. But that is what life is all about. I Love it though.

Here is a slide show that I made today on photobucket. That place is cool.

Well I am finally back

2008-10-08T12:56:00.000-07:00

Well here I am back again I am not all that great at remembering to do this imagine that. So to bring you up to date. Alexander is now two and going 90 mph everyday. Travis and I are doing great we moved into our new house in August. I am not working at the hotel anymore and haven't been since the end of June. I worked at a nursing home for a while until Travis got his job at Symantec. So now I am a stay at home mom for now. I am taking my placement test on the 17th and then starting school on January 5th. Yay me!!! I am very excited. I am going to get my degree in early childhood education. Travis has Graduated from college and is working at a great job and loving it. His actual cereamony is this friday the 10th. Yay for Travy!!! Alexander is doing wonderful and becoming more and more complex everyday. He loves to be outside. If he could he would live out side. Some of his favorite things to do are: take our dog for a walk around the neighborhood, play on the computer, help mommy (clean, cook, and do dishes), he loves to play daddys guitar and sing with the music on the radio, and he loves the water. So now you are up to date,,,,,...... Picture is of Alex on his air bed with Deli our youngest kitty

Well you have found you way here. So you must be looking for us! We are are a simple family of sorts. Travis and I meet in school three years ago. We got engaged on July 25th, 2005 and are still going strong. True like any couple we have had our problems. In December of 2005 Travis and I found out that we where going to become parents that following summer. In march of 2006 we moved from Springfield Oregon back to Nyssa Oregon. On April 19, 2006 Travis was diagnosed with testicular cancer. It was one of the worst days of our lives to date. On April 21, 2006 Travis went in for surgery. A few months later on June 13th, 2006 Travis started an extensive treatment of chemotherapy. On July 17th, 2006 we went into have an amnio and something didn't go right so we ended up staying in the hospital till July19th, 2006. At 4:00 pm I made my way into the operating room. At 4:29pm our son made his appearance in the world. He was 6lbs. 15oz. and 20inches long. So today he is almost two years old and a pain in the patella. But hey that is kids. Travis is doing wonderful. He just graduated from college with his Associates degree in computers. I am currently on workman's comp and chilling at home. I work at a hotel that is a branch of Extended Stay Hotels. So that kinda brings you up to date on us and all the good stuff.
