Summer is starting out GREAT!

 Troy is Cavin's best friend!! they would play together everyday all day if we could!!  I'm so sad that they are best friends and we are moving!  Cavin seriously wakes up everyday asking to play with troy!!  "Troy swimming" "troy park" "troy ducks" we have to do everything with Troy and it's great because I love it too!!





 LOOK MOM I can SIT!!! I'm a big girl now!


 We got a pool for the back yard and it was only 70 degrees out but Cavin was set on swimming so we filled up the buckets with hot bath warm and poured them in!! the boys where in heaven swimming all morning!  I was a bad mom and forgot sunscreen because it was cold outside and didn't think of it but Cavin got his first sunburn.... sad day!   He didn't care though!









Life changing decision

Friday morning started out just any other normal day we were headed to Des Moines moving July 1 had a place to live, friends already made, and everything seem to be in place and looking great!
We were packing boxes and clean up and Marcus checked his email he got the letter saying he got into West Virginia medical school!!! Marcus was happy to go to a DO school but with him wanting to specialize in medicine he didn't want to limit any of his residency options so in MD program got more opportunities. It was a very hard decision for us because in Des Moines has a lot of families young kids and moms in our same situation West Virginia didn't offer that we will be one of very very few that are married and have kids. It is more expensive and the housing is more expensive. To be honest I didn't want to go to West Virginia because of  all the hills!! I of course will go wherever Marcus wants to go and what ever he thinks is best for our family!
We did a lot of praying and Weighing out the option. With us paying so much money for medical school and all the time and hard work we want to give Marcus every possible opportunity and we felt the M.D. program will do that the DO program is great but is best for family doctors and not for those who want to specialize.
So within two days we were moving to a new state and her whole life is changing again!! We are looking for housing and things to do for our family! We are very excited and feel very good about the decision we have made this will bring all possible opportunities to our feature!
We are still planning on moving 1 July and think we found some housing it would sure be different than Des Moines but we are so excited for this adventure!! Marcus has never been to the East Coast so this will be a great adventure for us and will be close to Washington DC Philadelphia and New York!!

Stella is 6 months

Stella is getting cuter every day she is talking cooing giggling laughing and any other noise you can think of!! My favorite is her growl she will growl nonstop for 20 or 30 minutes it is so funny! Stella then to set up a couple days ago and is doing great now she will sit on the yourself for a long time she starting to Be mobile and move around mainly by rolling and kicking her feet a lot!
She continues to love her brother so much she will laugh so hard and just nonstop it is so funny it makes me so happy to see them play together! The other day And was dancing and she was sitting on the carpet just watching him in laughing your head off she was laughing so hard she kept falling over it was so cute! Cavin love Stella too he still calls her baby or Ella but he loves to hold her and talk to her and play with her and get her toys and help change her diaper. I feel like the luckiest mom watching knows to play together!
We haven't figured out still asleep yet she sleeps better if she's in our bed all by herself so Marcus and  I have blown up air mattress and or sleeping the living room so she has our room all to herself!! Haha  but she's still up 2 or 3 times a night, but at least she isn't up all night like before!
I haven't started her on solids yet but will start pretty soon and that she is six months old!
I'm kind of in love with her six-month pictures she is just so perfect cute roly perfect skin I love her and her smile and Dimple everything about her!
