Life Journey's

How do you decide when it is time to leave something you love and move on to something new? It is such a hard decision especially when it may affect a few people around you... how do you leave something that is so familiar and people that are as well. My mind struggles with this thought, but is something new better in the long run? So many decisions and so little time! LOL! On a different note, we went from winter to summer here in Arizona! and I LOVE it! I can not wait to go to the pool all weekend long (when I am not working) and hang out with Savannah and Spencer! and of course all of my lovely friends and their families!

Craziness....

I think that is the most appropriate word that fits our life at the present time. I am working 2 jobs and Spencer is taking on all of my household roles :) ... it is pretty cute! I am missing time with my chica. She is so amazing. She is starting to learn how to ride her bike with Nana. I think that it is so cute! She is always wanting to get into something just to learn more about it. Just like her momma! She is sweet. She is going to be a good momma one day!Which that thought is hard to believe. My 2 year old as a mom... YIKES! Every day is another day that makes me feel more and more blessed and loved! I am so lucky for the family I have.

on another note... It is almost March... my favorite time of the year... spring training games - GO WHITE SOX! and St. Patrick's Day! oh and lets not forget Savannah's birthday. I did get Irish baby after all. It is going to be a busy month, but it will be a fun one!

A new path....

I have made resolutions to make my life and my families better! So I am now a night time bartender again. It is a lot of fun. I am hoping that I will make lots of cashola :) Savannah is changing so much everyday! She makes my world go round. She is so smart. She can identify families.... You say colby and she says trisha, avrie and tade! So cute! She is able to walk the low beam, do summersaults, and most of the stuff at Little Gym! Such a monkey. I am so grateful for my amazing family! I have to talk about them! We also just celebrated Spencer's big 30th! Thanks to all of our friends and family for always supporting us!

New Year, New Reddins!

So this year is all about goals at home, just like at work! Our biggest goals this year are to get rid of the paci's, potty train Savannah, get out of debt, and work on family time! So new years weekend was "cold turkey" weekend at our home. We took the paci's away and put Savannah in panties all weekend. We still have a hard time at bedtime, but she doesn's ask for them. She wears pull ups to bed and other than that, she is doing fabulous with her panties... she says she wears panties, mom wears underwear, and dad wears shorts! Gotta love 2 year olds! The debt part... I got a 2nd job bartending at a local restaurant. It is right next to the Coyote and Cardinals stadiums... so I am hoping it is good money. Now for family time... that is the last one we need to iron out details on.... It will come. Last year my big thing was finding friends out on the west side. I was beyond fortunate to come across an amazing group of ladies who make everyday amazing. It is so nice to have people to relate to... so this year is off to a great start and hopefully in less than a year, we will be on to bigger and better things!

The holidays

We had an amazing time at Legoland with Nate and Dominic Skinner. Check out my facebook page for additional pictures

Savannah and I hiked the White Tanks with our friends Megan, Tanner, and Cameron. Fabulous day for a hike!

The holidays are over... :( but on to a new year! and new adventures.... We had an amazing holiday with friends and family and are so grateful for all that we have... We took the holiday break to break our precious Savannah of her paci and her pull ups (well we still put them on her at night). So far we are off to a good start, however the hour it takes her to go to bed now, I almost want to give in with her paci! My baby girl is growing up so fast. Hard to believe that she will be 3 in 3 months! Yikes.... A new year also means new decisions... I have had some interesting oppurtunities arise and I am pondering different things that may be better for my family... We shall see what happens... Not sure the direction I want to take. It is one of those things that I may be dammed if I do and dammed if I dont... Hope that everyone had an amazing holiday!

The journeys of life....

I am very thankful for my amazing family and friends. I have the best support system ever. If I ever needed anything, they will always back me up and be there for me. I am thankful for the friends I have had since 3rd grade! I have an amazing husband who spent the day working outside yesterday getting our house ready for our guests next weekend, an amazing daughter who looks at me and smiles and makes my whole world light up! I am so thankful for the great life I have!

Pumpkins Oh my........

So we made it to our 3rd annual trip to Chino Valley to go to Freeman Farms Pumpkin Patch with the Skinners (Nate and Dominic). The weather was amazing. we were able to go thru the corn maze, the carousel, and the train before mother nature decided to rain on us... and it rained adn rained. So we went to get a bite to eat thinking it would stop... and nope, so we went back to the pumpkin patch, picked our pumpkins, and made our way home. It was a great trip with our family tho and it will be a memory we cherish. It was so adorable watching Dominic and Savannah hold hands as they lead the way thru the corn maze! Love those 2
