Here is an update on the fam for the month of September. Lots of News.
Porter started Pre-School! Can you believe it! He goes to the YMCA 2 days a week for 3 hours. He really loves it. It awesome becuase I work out while he goes. He really does not need a lunch box but he had to have one just like his older brother. I just put snacks in there so he can eat them after.
Treyson kinder schedule is Mon/Tues ever other Wed. I know talk about weird and confusing. Porter is Tues/Thurs... So on Tuesday its just me and Kreed. Kinds crazy my boys are growing right up!
Love this boy!
We finally figured out something with our house in Iowa. Let just say its been such a huge headache for us. Long story short we realized we were conned and then we had some flood damage in the basement while were were away. Remember what we fixed? Ya well I guess the flood waters were really bad this year and almost everyone got water that never have. The con, well we paid way to much for this property. Usually when you buy the lender will come back and say that it not worth what your purchasing for but that never happened. Whoever was working for us was not looking for our best interest let me just say that. Yes it stinks, I hate dishonesty. People don't realize who they are hurting when they loose their integrity by coning people. Anyway, were sold our house on contract for way less then what we bought it for. We lost A LOT of money on it! It was are only option because we did not qualify for short sale and we did not want to foreclose because then we would not be able to buy in/out of a practice in a few years. Basically how this works is at the end of the contract we have to come up with the difference.
Buying a house was our only option in IA. Renting was so expensive and since Palmer gave us hardly any to live off of it would of buried us. So we look at the bright side. We had a safe house to live in while we were in school and hardly paid much. Now its a different story but it would be silly to go back and say, "what if!" Its not going to change and whats done is done. Does it really really really stink? Yes, a big one! So the people buying it from us are paying our mortgage and then we have to pay a lot extra to try and make up the difference by the end of contract time. So were are basically pay for someone to live there is you will. We prayed and fasted and this is what we got so we are leaving it in the Lords hands once again. I wish it would of ended different and we tried everything. We have learned great lessons from this though and Im counting on that of why we had to go through this.
Sigh..

Our ward Primary Program. Cant tell you how proud I was of these boys. Treyson smiles through his whole speaking part and Porter was hilarious when he picked his nose and gave his booger to his teacher so he could continue to sing his little heart out.
I could not hold back my tears, these little children truly teach us to be more like our Savior.
Christian started coaching rugby. He found a local club that also helps us with marketing for the office. Notice his little helper:)
INSANITY! You all know the videos everyone raves about well now you can take a live class and let me tell you its nothing like the videos. Christian and I went to the kick off night at the Y and had a blast. It was only 30 min and kicked our trash. I know a couple people passed out during the work out. It is insane. Everyone keeps asking me to get certified but its so expensive and Im deciding between this and yoga/pilates. I already teach Piyo but I want more training in that area. Both cost a lot of money so I just have to choose and do it slow. Ill probably end up doing both. We had fun though, this is seriously our kind of date night.
Speaking of working out, I have been doing cross-fit and I really like it. Its challenging and make me me work muscles I never even knew existed. Its a nice change to lifting at the bars.
Life has been pretty crazy and stressful and I seriously just go and sweat it out at the gym. Its the best therapy ever besides praying. I love it.
Bunco this month was pj style and I won these cute poka-dot socks! The weather is getting much cooler so Im excited for cute socks!
Random: The stool. Which I have had forever. I cant live with out it. Its called short people problems...LOL! Im in the process of getting more made and Im feel seriously lost without it. I have been climbing on counters, stacking this us so I can reach. This is so old, dirty and stained but I seriously love it!
Real Foodie Stuff in Sept:
Matcha super food drink I have been having every morning!
Weelicious lunch for my littles. This is typical lunch for my boys.
Mango Coconut Mahi-Mahi with cranberry feta rice!
Juicing. Carrots, apple, celery, strawberries, cucumber.
YAY, I finally found a place that carried raw milk! Im still looking for a farmer to sell it to me since I can get it cheaper but its so good! Once you drink this stuff you will never want store bought milk again!
My ultimate egg sandwich. I buy my herb GF bread from a local bakery. Its so good!
Feta avocado dip! One of our favs!
Our crazy boys:
Kreed and Jax, there pretty much inseparable!
Oh this sweet boy. He said the cutest prayer the other day to have Jesus come to earth to fix all people who had bad feelings. Oh he melts my heart. Thats smile too. Love it!
Oh my Porter. His smile is infectious!
Kreed is 18 months. Those dimples! He is going to nursery and done nursing. He self weaned himself slowly. Not sure how I feel about my little monkey growing up. Sniff, Sniff!
We take the boys rock climbing once a week at the Y. We all have a great time. Its nice to be back to doing this. We missed it when we lived in IA.
Kreed loves his Daddy and piggy back rides!
Trey has quite the obsession with grass and nature. He loves laying in the grass and cloud watching. He talks to himself, imagines things. Its super cute. Oh and don't judge our long grass...LOL! We do mow sometimes it just not for weeks when we are so busy.
Random: Here is a flashback, when I was prego with Porty. Large and in charge. Hard to believe I was that huge!...LOL!
We have some controversy with int he Church with women want to rain on the Priesthood session and demanding Priesthood power. I love this quote from Al Fox. I connect with her so much since she is convert. She put it so simple and perfectly. We were divinely organized to assist the Priesthood in the work of Salvation.
General Relief Society Meeting was this past weekend and it was awesome. I really needed to hear the messages that were given. I have been feeling so overwhelmed with life and responsibilities that it felt like a breath of fresh air. Keep Covenants. Go to Temple. Pray. Read Scriptures. Serve Others. God loves us whether we deserve it or not! We matter. Words cannot express how grateful I am to be a small part of one of the greatest sisterhood organizations in the world.
Well, that about sums up Sept for us. Im ready for fall! Saying I love this time of year is an understatement. Keep Moving forward!
