Lovin IT

Ok so last week we went to Guymon to see my family for my dad's 60th birthday we had an awesome surprise party for him. It went very well, he was totally surprised and loved his party. Well while we were there my sister went into labor so we stayed an extra day. On Sunday morning she went to the hospital and so one of my other sisters and I went up to be with her. We stayed all day with her and little Aiden was born on August 22nd at 7:15 pm. He is very cute.

Well since we have been home we have been busy with work and just life in general.

The kids are growing so much and changing daily I think, it is simply amazing to me. I can not believe how much children grow and change in such a short amount of time. Why does it have to go so fast? I miss Jacob being a baby now he is an onry toddler! He is very strong willed and likes to test mommy. Man its amazing Daddy tells him anything and he listens very quickly, mommy not so much. For instance he is now in a big boy bed and I told him to get in bed and take a nap, well 2 and a half hours later he is now asleep! Ugh it is so exhausting to me. I do not like getting on to him, but I don't know how else to make him mind me and listen to me. Terrible twos are on their way! Maybe he is starting them a little early!! Oh well I am off to fold laundry and move on with my day.

By the way I am starting a new book this week, it is called The Untold Story of Milk, by Ron Schmid ND I will let you all know what I think.

August 13

So this has been an exciting week for me. As many of you know I have stopped using most medications and gone to natural remedies over a year ago. It has been an amazing journey. I am so much better than I used to be. I still have the flair ups occasionally and have "bad"days, but overall I feel great. I can't point out a part of my body that is better, because I am better all over! I have more energy and love for life than I have ever had.

I went in to my naturalpath doctor earlier this week and everything is looking really good. I love it! It is so nice to go and not have a million things pop up on the scan that are out of sync. I try really hard to do all the things she recommends but I have a terrible time getting motivated to work out, I know this is a normal thing for people but still it is so hard to get up and do it! I have extremely high hopes that once I get my bedroom redone and get my rebounder back in there I will be much better at it. Pray for me. I am lazy!

We are getting a new bed sometime soon, it is ordered just not delivered, praying for it to be soon. I have insomnia something terrible, I don't sleep very well at all. my 3 month old baby sleeps 12 hours at night and mommy sleeps only about 4. However the other night I slept from 7:30 to 8 the next morning. I guess my body finally gave in! It was amazing. The next night it was still better and I slept about 7 hours. Hopefully my insomnia is over and I will be sleeping everynight. Either way I can't wait for my new bed!

I have not ever in my life been able to be outside when the yard is being mowed and last summer I actually mowed the yard several times without incident! Praise the Lord!! Now I mow and Bryce weed eats and we can get our huge yard taken care of in about an hour! It is simply amazing! I love to be helpful to him and that is super helpful! Jacob loves to ride on the mower with us. So precious! Speaking of mowing it really needs to get done this weekend!

Here is a pic of the family recently at Bishop's Castle in Colorado while we were on vacation.

Ok so I can not figure out why it keeps putting it sideways or how to change it but here we are anyways!

Day 1 of Blogging

So I finally decided to join the world of blogging. This blog will be all about the Reid Family Adventures. Here is a little bit about our family!!

Bryce and I have been married almost 3 years, I know right it doesn't  seem like 3 weeks even!! We have two boys Jacob Austin and Stephen Russell. We had Jacob about a year after we got married and Stephen was born a couple of months ago. So lets just say life moves quickly around this household! Constant changes.

This summer has been super busy for us. We had a baby, 2 family reunions and I was in Jessica's wedding all within just a couple of weeks! Whew we survived all the traveling and visiting and everything else that goes with all of that and we loved every minute of it! 
Well that is about it for now, I must go get something done since both my babies are sleeping!

Talk to you soon,
Aley
