bUiLd A hOuSe AnD God will Fill It with children...or something like that.

Ok so I know I've heard the saying before, "build a house and God will fill it with children". AZ said I'm crazy, but I truly believe God is doing just that for us. We are currently into our 3rd month of building are home in Plainville and will be adding another little one to our family before it is complete! Abby and Shelby are excited to be BIG sisters to a little brother due April 10th. We feel so blessed that God is completing our family with this little miracle. It is coming VERY fast and we are so anxious for him to get here. He will be spending his first few months with us at Grandma and Grandpa Ramsay's. Our contractor has said the house should be done the first part of June, so we are praying the weather cooperates and they are correct. We are now in the hunt for bunk beds for the girls and baby boy decor for the little one on the way!

Oh...my....word....

I can't believe I haven't posted in over 2 months. Horrible! So here ya go Lenore :)! We are currently 48 days into building our next home. Well we personally aren't building, but our contractor is 48 days in. It has really gone fast until this week when good ole mother nature decided to release her fury on Kansas. We have a basement, framing and will soon have a roof! Yipppeee! It has been a lot of fun to be able to see the progress every day. As they were putting the wall frames up last week my stomach was doing somersaults realizing that this is the real deal. We have met with the cabinet man and have many more choices to make coming up. We're making it though. Here's a couple pics of the progress since they started:

Fa la la la la...la la la la!

So Christmas is right around the corner. I feel like it really snuck up on me this year as it has every other year since I've gotten older! It was kind of sad not being able to put our own tree up this year. The girls still enjoyed helping Grandma Kath put up the tree though and while Grandma and Grandpa were in KC over the weekend we put up the garland/lights on the fence. Abby was still not having anything about sitting on Santa's lap and telling him what she wanted, until last night! She had a sudden change of heart and said she IS GOING to sit on his lap and tell him she wants some walkie talkies. (I'll believe it when I see it) I really am hoping she will because if she does, I think Shelby will follow and I'll finally have a picture of them with Santa! We spent Thanksgiving in Wichita with AZ's family and I braved it on Friday morning and started my Christmas shopping. Surprisingly I'm almost finished! YAY!! We are looking forward to the Christmas season and are thankful for all God has given!

***SOLD***

So catching up on my blog stalking made me realize that I am quite the slacker! July since my last post-WOW! Well I'm starting over, TODAY! I guess the big news at the Molina house is that we are officially homeless! We decided we would put our house on the market and believe it or not it sold within 3 weeks. A lot faster than we were expecting! So now we are packing up our house, selling some things, putting the rest in storage, and moving to Plainville to live with my parents until we either build a house or buy something a little bigger to hold all the girls' toys! I am sooo thankful to my parents for opening their house to us, but also nervous about moving back. It is sure to be interesting! The girls are of course sooo excited and Abby tells everyone we are builing a "sparkly" house next to Grandma and Grandpa Ramsay. So, onto the next adventure in this exciting thing we call LIFE!

Wave the Wheat~

So last night as we were headed inside from playing, I looked down at the end of our block and noticed the beautiful wheat field that was just calling us for pictures. So, me, Abby, Shelby, and Zoe took a little walk over to the field and got some great shots. Abby fell and skinned her knee...again, on the trek over and Shelby really wasn't too sure about the wheat touching her legs. Oh well, it was fun! I may have to try some other pics with a sunset behind them before they harvest the field.

Failing Grade!

Ok so if I was getting graded on my blog, I would be FAILING! I can't believe it's almost been a month since I posted. I've come to keeping my facebook up to date better than the blog, but am going to try harder (isn't that what you say in school?). We have been extremely busy to say the least! We've had graduations, weddings, baby showers, more weddings, t-ball, cheerleading camp...and summer is just starting. I did manage to get the girls' pictures done because sadly enough it had been awhile and I was needing to update my wall. They turned out really good. Abby loves the camera and although it was a little difficult to get Shelby to sit still, we did get some excellent pictures!

~Tres Anos~ (3 years old)!!!

This past weekend we celebrated Abby's 3rd birthday! Wow- 3 years have gone by since I received the most amazing phone call-EVER! It is amazing how fast the years have gone. I remember people telling me when she was born, but never imagined they were all right! Abby picked a Disney princess party for her theme and was excited to have friends and family there to help her celebrate. She received a Power Wheels Barbie Jeep from us and is now trying to learn how to steer this Jeep! Needless to say, even Shelby isn't too fond of riding with her right now due to a little whiplash she has had to experience. After her party on Saturday afternoon, Abby fell asleep in church while her little sister had to be taken out of church to the cry room and then out of the cry room to outside due to her sugar high she was on from the cake and ice cream. Shelby figured out when it was quiet, her voice echoed and once she figured that out...we were outta there! Caroline, Mac, and Nate came back for the festivities so after church we went to Jalisco's and Abby got to wear the sombrero while we sang to her. She loved, loved, loved all the attention on her special day! She has brought us so much joy and laughter. We cannot begin to imagine our life without her. She is so intelligent and is starting to teach her little sister words too.
