Working at last!!

Well today was our first day working on our house-- well the houses in this phase. Today we set and placed all the windows, wrapped the houses, and did scrapping, and cleaning. It was raining the last 4 hours, so jesse and everyone except me was outside so they were muddy and soaked. See those windows? Yeah we put those there :-)There was seven people today, and we were a pretty good team! I spent the whole day sweeping, clearing and removing all wood scrapes from three of the five houses. It was fun to caulk the windows and screw them into the house. We were trying to secure the houses because the electricians are coming in on Monday to do those houses, and wiring is something that is easily stolen. It was a nice day, and the girls are really excited. Our neighbors, are really nice so thats cool. hopefully this will work out all the way to the end.

Grandpa and the boy!!

Ben and grandpa were very close this last weekend. Grandpa is so cute and would always say that he needs to hold "the boy" cause mommy gets to hold him all the time. Benjamin seemed to really like his grandpa and would sit or sleep happily in his arms. When I was watching these two interact it really struck me how happy I was to have had a boy. Jesse told me before we got pregnant with ben that he was happy with two girls, but there was apart of me that felt like i hadn't given him everything, you everything that a man needed. Jesse is the only boy in his family, and I wanted the Sam weaver name to be carried on.... I praise God that he heard my hearts cry and gave us that son.. Thank you

Our House....Now

On Saturday, our little family decided to make another trip up to our new property where we will be building our house this summer. We are very excited to get into the process and meet all our new neighbors. This is going to be a great experience for us as a family both for having that great sense of fulfillment of owning our own home, but also having the experience of actually building our home ourselves! Keep an eye on the blog and us on your minds as we get into this new and exciting experience.

stressed filled weeks. ..

Jesse has had a rough several days, since last Friday actually. Work has been busy and stressful, and I am stressed when he gets home so that doesn't help at all. He has been getting over time which keeps him very busy, and tired. The girls really don't like it when he works overtime, because they miss him alot when he isn't home. Sierra is so funny, and will ask me if her daddy will come home tonight?

Totally unprepared am I..... to face the world of men

Watching Jesse and how having a son has changed him in ways that we didn't know was possible I consider life will be with a son. Looking at my little man, and watching other toddlers, and young boys i still feel in a daze, that i now have a son. boys are so different than girls, and there are times that i totally don't feel prepared to raise a son. You know when Jesse and I first talked about our little boy right after he was born, we both felt so blessed. Sometimes it seems that in life you can want something, yearn and cry out for something but that thing never seems to happen. Now we have a boy to carry on the weaver name, and to be a momma's boy.

Proud Daddy

My Girls

Here are a couple of my favorite girls in the world. I absolutely love this picture. Aaliyah's look is priceless, Sierra has her princess smile on, and we are looking good. You're getting kinda jealous aren't you?
