The Mobley Family

It's been a while, but things are still not settled with the house and not to mention we still haven't gotten everything unpacked from our vacation to Arizona. Which was amazing and I have lots of pictures to share. Until I really have the time and all the pictures to post (ehhh hemm...Mark) I will share these pictures with you. Things are going really well for the most part. We are on day number two with no pacifier for Alexa and she has only cried once at bedtime last night. She has quite the attitude and one that I am not used to. Yikes. I think perhaps it might have something to do with defending herself with Landon 90% of the time that the other 10% of her energy is spent defending herself from everyone else when she doesn't need to, she just thinks she does. She is a sweet and funny girl, but I do fear the next couple years. I am really just ready for her to understand rules and how things "go" in our family as far as expectations. It's much different th...

WOW! It's been a while huh? Sorry about that. I will do my best to keep this blog as short as I can, which will not meet the definition of short by any means, but I will spare you each and every detail. For those of you who may not know, Chris and I sold the condo, finally, and quickly had to find a house. We found a house after only looking two days. We made an offer and moved out and moved in very quickly. We had almost all the floors in our new house replaced and all the walls painted. This with a very slow contractor and two little kids running around made for one stressed mama. Not to mention that Chris went out of town the day after we moved in. There was so much stress involved and I wouldn't want to re-live it, but was reminded there are more important things in life and people going through way more than we did in this whole transition. The very day that I just thought I couldn't take anymore, I was reminded that my "problems" really weren't worth com...

I have two very happy water babies. They love the bath, the pool and the rain. Here are some pics of the kids in the bath about the same age. LANDON ALEXA As you know, we have had rain so much lately. This afternoon, we decided to get wet and play in the rain. I got Alexa on video playing in the rain and then again realized I had a short video of Landon about the same age, playing in the rain. I also have a bath video of Alexa, enjoy!

There is no question that my Landon is a chatty kathy. The kid can talk 'til the sun comes up....and then goes down again....and then rises. But there is also no question that often within those moments of endless conversation, the kid makes me laugh. The other day, we went on a walk and he found a very nice walking stick. When we reached our driveway, he was trying to reach the tallest branch on our tree in the front yard. When he did what it was that he was trying to do, I hear him say, "huh. pretty impressive". Last night after I put Landon in bed, I ate my dinner which happened to be a baked potato. Landon began calling for me and so I went into his room to see what it was he needed. I squat down next to him on his bed and he plugs his nose. I asked what he was doing and he informed me that, "your breath stinks real bad!" I couldn't do anything but laugh. Needless to say, we both were laughing so much that bedtime was delayed because it then took him a w...

We sure have been enjoying this weather and I have some pictures to show just that. There are also somce pics of the kids enjoying each other's company as they watch the very popular "Hi-5". I also have a couple videos of the moves my little mobleys have. Both Landon and Alexa LOVE to dance. Perhaps that's because Chris and I as well LOVE to dance. I have Pandora application on my iphone and I found a way to plug it into the car and I found some speakers to plug it into so we can listen to it whenever we want. They have a great kids radio station that we have grown fond of. Alexa LOVES to dance as you can see...and Landon too! Enjoy! VIDEO: Make photo slide shows at www.OneTrueMedia.com

Well, things are happening quickly before our eyes. The very Saturday that Chris drove Lily to meet my Dad in Kansas we had a showing on the condo and.....they made an offer the following Wednesday and....we counter offered and.....They accepted. So....We are quickly moving along in the process. The buyer wants posession on the condo the day of closing which means we need to find a house in the next oh....THREE WEEKS! Chris and I house hunted last weekend with NO luck at all. But we are looking again on Saturday. We have the buyers inspection this afternoon, during the kids nap nonetheless, and I am really nervous. I am writing this to please ask for prayers and positive thoughts that the inspection goes well. I just want out of this condo and moved to Bloomington so we can all be together as a family on a daily basis:) Hope this finds you enjoying this nice spring weather.

Today, Chris met my Dad in Kansas which is the halfway point to Colorado which is where Lily will be staying. Soon after we thought we made arrangements to have Lily stay with another family, my Dad called and offered for Lily to stay with them so that she could stay in the family. My sisters of course are pretty happy about that since they've been begging my Dad for a dog since...well, forever. Although this is bittersweet, we know it's the right thing to do...for now. I took Lily to get groomed yesterday which just so happens to take place at her veterinarian's office. I told them what was going on and asked if there was anything I could give her for the almost 20 hours she would be in the car. They prescribed her one whole pill that she was to be given in two halves for a whopping $15.00. I was shocked, but knew that even though expensive, it would be worth if for her to be comfortable. 20 hours in a car is HELL for Lily. I talked to Chris on the phone about half way thr...
