To All The Unbelievers!

My apologies, first of all, go to all of you who have had absolutely no proof that this baby really does exist! Clara Juliana is indeed a real, living, breathing little baby girl....but who would know with the way I "keep in touch"....or don't in other words! Clara was born July 24th....yes she is already 3 months and I can't believe it. She weighed only 4 lbs. 14 oz. but was healthy and able to come home right away. Besides some tummy troubles she is still doing great and now weighs 9 lbs. 8 oz. We LOVE that she is here and healthy and even though the Subway lady told me yesterday that I look "exhausted" I still love having this beautiful new addition here, what a BLESSING!!!

Let's try this AGAIN!!!!!

Okay, so sorry to post without pictures, I know how annoying that is, I really do, but unfortunately I am not smart or capable enough to figure out the new camera we got for Christmas (a family present that really belongs to Josias since the rest of us are technologically handicapped)! But the real reason I wanted to write this post was to tell everyone that the absolute best Christmas present our family received was finding out that we are EXPECTING number THREE!!!! We are soooo sooooo sooooo excited! As you know, we had been trying for a long, long time to get pregnant and after stopping running, putting on weight, six months of hormone therapy and not exercising DIDN'T work, the doctor finally tried Clomid and BADA-BING we got prenant! ( I just wish we had done that first, ya know? I mean jeeeeeezzzzz!), but only Heavenly Father knows the right time!!!!! I think that He also completely erases my memories from the previous two pregnancies so that I will continue to procreate, because I'll be honest here....if I still had those memories I would have been done with the first and running to the hills to escape the temptation to ever "be" with my husband again!!! J/K, probably too much information there, huh? Anyways, we are due at the beginning of August and even though I'm past the 12 week mark I am still extremely sick, but that's how it was with the other two as well! It's still totally worth it and me and Josias cannot WAIT to add another little one to the amazing two we have now, we couldn't be happier (and sicker)...blessings, blessings, blessings....(this is what I say to myself ALL DAY....it actually works....sometimes)!!!!! J/K

Best Christmas Present EVER!!!!!

Okay, how annoying! I just wrote a huge long post and then it didn't post, so testing testing....are you working?

Has it really been that long?!!!?

Okay, so I know that it's been a long time....but I didn't realize how very, very, very long it had been until I just got on to look at my blog for the first time in centuries! So sorry everyone, you've probably all given up on me! Life has been good to us, a little crazy, but good! We are still trying to have another baby and no luck so far...but hey....you never know!!!! We LOVE the house we are living in right now and are having fun living in good old Prescott, AZ! We hope that you are having a wonderful holiday season as we are and feeling the warmth of the Hope that our Savior brings into our lives! We are so blessed! Thank you all for being our friends even when we fall off the face of the earth (as my dear friend Becky put it so eloquently) and for being good examples to us! (well.....most of you! J/K) We love you all and Merry Christmas!!!!
Laura, Josias, Aiden, and Olivia

Late Disclaimer

So I have two minutes to write this since I'm using my Dad's office computer so I have to make this really quick, but I'm so sorry to ALL.... we are unfortunately computer-inabled right now at my parents because my parents have 150,000 blockers on their computer due to a teenage son, so I can't get any of your pages to come up, nor can I post mine because I can't see what I'm doing, I just get a lot of weird symbols, so to all of you who have posted a note I'm so sorry, hopefully we'll be renting a house here really soon and then we can get our computers out of storage and I can go to "Blog-Town." (Yes, that is official terminology) In the mean time, please know that this lack of blogging is not my usual loser, really bad at keeping in touch thing....I promise!!!!
I love you all!

Grandma's House....Need I say more?!?

Cruisin' n Lovin' Life!!

So me and Josias had sooooo much fun on our cruise! The first day we felt guilty for leaving our kids and missed them like crazy...but by day 2 we were loving life and enjoying time together so much! You can forget how much crazy fun you have together when life and family and school and work get in the way! We had a blast and it was fun to not have a care in the world! By the last day we missed our kids again like crazy and were ready to come home, if only we could somehow live in a parallel universe or something.....?....or something.....As you can see by the picture of Aiden, he didn't have much time to miss his mom and poppy when Grandma was around! Grandma's house is the funnest and this is a FACT! In case you don't already know, we are currently living with my mom and dad because we have moved to Prescott, AZ!!!! Crazy, huh? We never thought we would actually move back, but we feel this is where we should be and even though there were other offers for Josias outside of Prescott that looked better initially, the Lord showed us He had a different plan for us (as is usually the case) and we feel blessed to have His guiding hand in our lives! Seriously, what would we do without the gospel, I'm a wreck as it is with the moving and finding a place to live, etc.. etc... I can't even imagine what it would be like if I didn't know this was the right place for us! I think you would find me in Grandma's dress up clothes crying at the bottom of the driveway passing out go-gurts to passers by! Yep, I'm pretty sure that would be the case!!! Love you all!!!!!!
