when I got home John had put up our swim security fence up yay! I started working on a few areas and I am LOVING how the yard is looking. We decided to do grass seed instead of sod to save money it take patience but it seems to be starting to grow in YAY! I love this little corner I got these chairs on clearance from target a few weeks ago, and the throw pillows too. I bought some spray from Lowes that you can spray on fabric to make them weather proof so awesome!!! I also made these umbrella holders myself so proud of that =)</div>

John's parents, sister and nieces/nephews came over that evening and we swam, BBQ, did fireworks, we were able to see the big firework show from our street too so that was perfect! We even watched Annie {new one} while the kids floated in the pool! I love having the outdoor projector so fun for nights like these</div>

I have taken a lonnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggg blogging break, i know a LONG one! I actually didn't break completely the last few months i have been writing on a private blog just to see if i could be consistent with blogging before coming back. I did it i wrote 2-3 times a week just like i hoped to do here so i think its safe to come back =) i haven't updated here in a year and a half so here is a little update to what we have been doing:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Cole is almost 2 =( he is SO adorable i promise he is a CUTIE i love him so</li>
<li>We found a house in our top schools districts and we love it</li>
<li>we have the BEST neighbors God is so good we hated leaving our old neighbors but these ones are pretty great too.</li>
<li>Our oldest is 17 and drives like a real car {truck} she is also working a ton right now she is a swim instructor and life guard. Next year she is going to be a senior and we have begun looking at colleges =( </li>
<li>The other kids are doing great David is almost 13 and will be in 8th grade, Johnathan almost 12 and 7th grade, Jake 8 3rd grade, Lilly 5 kindergarten and Cole almost 2 </li>
<li>Johnathan our {almost} 12 year old has been diagnosed with aspergers and that has been a long interesting road I will share more later</li>
<li>John is still working away to keep us all fed and dressed I love him</li>
<li>We just built a pool {finally finished last week} so now we are working on the yard</li>
<li>our home is fun i have a lot of projects going on I will show you soon!</li>
<li>I LOVE IG https://instagram.com/steele_family8/ I also have a second one where I post food/recipes its foodmom6 if you want to follow with either</li>
<li>Our lives are full and we wouldn't have it any other way I hope you are here to see us grow. my tentative plan is to post on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays for sure and any extras I see fit as usual it will all be eclectic posting from mothering to decorating and everything in between =) Here are a few pics off my phone I can update with </li>
</ol>

The baby is finally sleeping wonderful, like 11-12 hours at night! He also take a good 4 +/- hour nap in the day plus a few smaller naps, say he is a rock star i am LOVING having a baby again he is so cuddly he fills my heart with so much joy.<br />
<br />
We sold our house almost a year ago and we have been renting since we have been looking again to buy and houses are selling SO quickly its crazy. i hate making big decisions so quickly on big things. We have put about 3-4 offers and haven't got any of them... oh well! we found a house yesterday we LOVE i am praying the doors open and we get it i told John if i can picture my Christmas tree there you better believe i love it ha! We have been married almost 16 years and have lived in a apartment, our first house, 2 rentals, our last house and now a rental again we have lived in our first house which we brought our first 4 kids home to and that was a 954 sq foot house, to our last house which was 3500 sq feet i have come to decide i like a smaller house. OK by smaller i am thinking about 2500 sq feet is good for our family, we really don't want to move again for a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time so i don't want something to big so as the kids start leaving it will be too big for us, but on the other hand we will still have kids home for over 18 years! Anyways just praying that God leads us to the right home for our family, in our BUDGET which is pretty small for this area of town and our size family but we will find something i know it =)<br />
<br />
That's about it around here well her is a little more with some pics from the last month!<br />

11 years seems like yesterday</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have wondered what he would have been like, how our family would be different, how i would survive some thing like your child passing away.... I have learned in 11 years it is still tough, i will always wonder and question but i know we will see him again. Hug your babies, your not guaranteed tomorrow </div>

back to school night at the boys school. 3 in elementary school. i laughed out loud when i saw this self portrait of my 5th grader. We have been doing a lot of testing lately for Johnathan he is a little quirky and we are trying to figure out what is going on, things like this wear on a mommas heart. iep's, behavioral therapist/counselors, tests, meeting etc it's just.... a lot!</div>

cracks me up that he sleeps with his mouth open a lot, i kiss that mouth a million times a day.... So far he is still sleeping really well, if i can get him to eat about 7 he will eat again about 11-12 and then he will sleep until 5-6 i LOVE those nights! honestly i am a little tired but i don't mind getting up with him most nights it is usually just once so i cant complain</div>

School starts tomorrow.. this summer flew by. This momma is not complaining about that =) Along with school starting tomorrow, we are having our baby on Wednesday! The baby is measuring really big and my doctor doesn't want me to go into labor so she got the hospital to approve my c-section 5 days earlier PRAISE the Lord! i have been pregnant 6 times and this will be my 7th baby and i have had every pregnancy symptom imaginable but this pregnancy takes the cake i tell John my uterus is just old ha-ha! This will be my 5th c-section so my nerves are a little on edge but i am beyond excited to meet this little guy {we still haven't decided on the name}</div>

This pregnancy has been a doozy i am so thankful for this baby but man i am ready to not be pregnant anymore. i go to the doctor tomorrow and i am praying she agrees it is time to deliver at my appt last week i had a ultrasound the baby's head measured out of range {explains the horrible pressure} and the baby is guesstimate to weight at 8 pounds 11 pounds and that was a week ago i was only 36 weeks at that point so i could have a big boy on my hands =) anyway just thought i would check in to say hi =) my oldest starts school tomorrow she will be a sophmore hello when did my kids grow up?!Raquelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02283644191311366458noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2393842412650785465.post-9547950043846198542013-08-03T00:41:00.000-07:002013-08-03T00:41:48.387-07:00my kids...Every time i get close to having a baby i start to panic you know all the what if's running through my mind. This will be my 5th c-section so of course i have been warned about all the risks and possibilities. I normally begin to panic very early in pregnancy this time i have done really well i am sure it is because i have been up front with many friends who i know are praying for me to have peace i was always ashamed before but that did me no good so this time i shared and cried and they listened and they are praying... Tonight i was laying with Lilly and talking to her about tomorrow and our plans and just enjoying our night and it hit... what if???? When she went to her bed i bawled my eyes out and John let me without getting upset at me or telling me i was crazy. i told him i am scared and i try to think of the things i would want him to pass on just in case something happens.... The main things i would want him to tell them EVERY day is<br />

Johnathan is my "original" child he is what some what consider a typical middle child, he likes to be with people... on his terms. This kid needs space, he enjoys being alone and likes to play make believe still even at 10. He is a thinker loves math and science and likes to figure out how things work, he retains information great! </div>

oh my sweet Liz. If i could just take a second and tell you how proud i am of this girl she is like the best parts of John and I to make a amazing human being she is kind, compassionate and caring like her dad, she is competitive, a finisher and dedicated like myself. Liz needs encouragement she gets down on herself when she shouldn't she is AMAZING and she is going to do so many cool things i just know it. and most importantly she loves Jesus, like really does love him. I pray for her constantly 15 is a rough age and when you are quiet it can be tough to get lost in the shuffle of others especially high schoolers but i think she is going to come out on top and have a incredible life she wants to travel the world, serve others and make a difference she will i know it!</div>

I have 3 weeks until this baby boy enters our life i cant wait to see what he will be like, based on my other kids i am pretty sure he is going to be awesome!</div>

I am extremely uncomfortable, this baby is frank breech so his little booty is just sitting there applying tons of pressure and this momma and her old uterus are about ready......<br />
<br />
Today i did some grocery shopping i took my very helpful 11 year old he seriously has saved me this summer he pushes the cart, loads the car, unloads etc. i swore this was my last trip to Sams/Costco until after i have this baby and i hope the food lasts....it never does these people think they need to eat every day =) i stocked up on easy to cook things because well i am tried.<br />
<br />
this has been my most active baby and it still amazes me that we can grow little people in our tummies. God is so amazing, i really cant wait to meet this baby boy (still deciding on the name) and see how he will mesh into our family. Things i am praying for right now<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>successful delivery with no complications</li>
<li>healthy baby</li>
<li>healthy mommy</li>
<li>that the kids bond with him well </li>
<li>that if i go in to labor my doctor is available to deliver, i love her and trust her with my life</li>
<li>that he has no allergies (i know this is silly but really everyone is allergic to EVERYTHING now a days i cant handle it!) </li>
<li>that he sleeps well at night =) </li>
</ul>
<div>
So that's it around here just counting down the days to meet my new boy </div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">13 things.... Just random about summer</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Even though I am not a huge fan
of summer break I have really tried to relax and enjoy this one. I think I have
done pretty good at it</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">I love routine, and fall and
well my kids going away for hours every day so number 1 tends to be not my
normal bend but like I said… I am working on it</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">I think the kids have had a
good summer even though we haven’t done a
ton little things here and there add up to fun experiences right?!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Even though I love back to
school, the first few weeks-month are panning out to be crazy busy and that’s
not even counting having a baby lol</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Preparing for my LAST baby
seems kind of crazy and so final… but I like knowing this is the last one and
being able to enjoy all the little things of getting ready for a baby</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">I still haven’t 100% committed
to a name I am leaning towards Cole more now than Jude but I told john I will
know when I see him. Good thing I am having a boy because I would never be able
to decide if I were having a girl there are tons of girls names I love….</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">We have had 17 days over a 100
degrees in July so far and the looks like we could have about 3-4 more at least</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">I am a little obsessed with the
royal baby such a sweet story and I love Kate she is so pretty (plus I love the
name Kate on my short list for girls haha!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">This summer my favorite foods
have been peaches, nectarines, iced tea, Pepsi, avocados on bread, pizza (I
could eat it every day!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">On Saturday when Johnathan
turns 10 I will have 3 kids in double digits, more than single digits that’s a
shift in our house. I can’t believe it has been 10 years since the twins were
born and crazy to think they were not due until September 30 but were born in July!</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">My family decided instead of a baby shower us girls would get </span><span style="font-size: 19px;">together</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> and are going out to dinner this weekend and celebrating
the baby I am excited for that I love the girls in my family we always have
fun! i </span><span style="font-size: 19px;">love</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> this idea so much!</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">I gave myself the goal of
finishing my school clothes shopping for the kids by the first week in august
so I have a little over a week to go... haven't even started, and of course everyone has had big growth spurts so they all need everything</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">I am so thankful for johnnie this
summer (well all the time but specifically this summer) he has taken the kids
swimming a ton, let me sleep in, take naps, told me to get away when he can
tell I am overwhelmed, spoiled me, gets me water out of the garage when I am
thirsty, he is a great provider for our family… I could go on and on I am so
proud of the dad and person he is </span></li>

Last Sunday I took the kids for a little beach getaway. Johnnie's parents have a trailer and they keep it stored at the beach so we can book a spot and go there and they set the trailer all up and ready for you. everyone was excited to go! John went with us on Sunday but just for the day because he had to get back to work for Monday.<br />

oh and last week or the week before i cant remember i had a yard sale i had been throwing stuff in the garage thinking a yard sale sounded really good to make some cash for our beach trip so the day before i got the stuff out of piles and bags and on some long tables pulled everything out in the morning and sat out there for approximately 1 hour and then i was over it i made a $150 in that hour i was happy with that and had the kids load everything up we took it to goodwill and went for doughnuts =) i got rid of a ton of stuff in the house, now have a clean garage and made some cash pretty good if you ask me</div>

So i thought i would be totally open and honest here on the blog. i know i told you last week we started the Dave Ramsey class and we sat down and went through our spending and set a budget for the month of may. so i thought i would share here on the blog. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there are 7 of us 2 adults, a teen (who swims a ton and eats as much as a adult), boys ages 10,9, and almost 6 they are all hearty eaters especially my 10 year old he eats like a adult., and Lilly is 3 she doesn't eat a lot at meal times but she eats often through the day. so for our family we set a budget of $800 for the month of May and $95 for household needs. So $895 should be totally doable i think, it does have to include any eating out which we have cut drastically we will probably do 1-2 times out on the cheap and maybe order pizza once that is kind of my thoughts but we will see...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
John went to Costco for somethings he needed for a BBQ at church so i had him get my list for me which saves a TON of money because he sticks to the list exactly unlike me he spent $67. ground beef, bread, watermelon, cantaloupes, milk, cleaning wipes, eggs and avocados. those are pretty much Costco staples for me the prices are good and we don't buy meat anywhere else.</div>

I had went to Costco the day or 2 before for chicken (our freezer and fridge went out 2 weeks ago and all of our meat had to be thrown out so i had to start the month with buying ground beef and chicken normally i buy one each time i go anyway) that day i got chicken, bread for sandwiches (kids lunches), cheese, cumin, avocados (i eat a lot of avocado lately and the ones John got were hard so i don't have to go back next week haha!), a can of tomatoes for salsa and pecans (most mornings i eat a handful of pecans, cottage cheese and tomato for breakfast the bag lasts me a long time i bought the one before in December) i spent $55 this time which i thought was great!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So far for the month i am at </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
$122. I will need to go probably at the end of this week for a few other things but this is a great start to the month for me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since moving we spend a lot more on groceries. My kids previously went to a school where all kids ate breakfast free and lunch was $0.40 a day so $1.20 a day fed my 3 boys breakfast and lunch the school they attend now they eat breakfast at home and pack lunch we buy a TON of bread, milk, cheese, peanut butter, and i seem to buy a lot of packaged things like yogurts, pudding, fruit snacks, chips etc. i know not the best choices but i am not sure what else to pack that i know they will eat what do you all send in lunches? </div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So we have been going and last week we finished week 4 of 9 and i LOVE it! John and i spent 7 hours this weekend going through our expenses so we could set a budget for may and we did it! i cant wait to get paid Friday and gety our cash for our envelopes how exciting!! I know it is going to be tough at times and we will mess up but i am so excited to have control over our money instead of the other way around.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">i am SO glad we did this before we purchase another home, sitting down and assigning every penny a place made us realize how much we spend on our rent and after that and utilities and how very little is left after those things. and how when we do buy another house we don't want it to own us so that may mean we buy something smaller than what most people think we need for a family of almost 8 (we will have 8 when we buy a house) and it may not be a move in ready dream house but it will be affordable (although we are not buying a house like our last one where we have to redo every single inch haha).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We don't have much debt thank God but we have my car payment and a few medical bills to take care of. i hope i wont have a car payment after this ever again, this is the first time i have had a car payment and i hate it! So i am thinking about documenting here on the blog our progress with spending specifically on groceries/ household budget because that always interests me when i see posts on that. Not sure if i will do that on Fridays or Mondays but most likely one of those days because i tend to go to the grocery stores those days.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">have you done the financial peace classes? or read the Dave Ramsey books? do you all love him as much as i do?</span></div>

The season i am in {pregnant, toddlers, school age, preteen, teen/high school} is tough. some days i feel like i am in a losing battle there isn't one day that goes by that i am not at my wits end at some point. i know being a mom is tough and when it comes to blogging i have all these posts in my head (and several drafts started) that i just haven't got to i keep telling myself tomorrow you will make time to write, tomorrow you will wake up joyful and go to bed with a smile on your face sure i strive for that of course but it doesn't always help...<br />

i love my life i really do i am so blessed and i know there are women out there who would give there arm to be in my shoes i get it, but there are some days that are really really long days where i wake up late and go to bed praying fervently for my kids and some of the things they are going through. i am thankful my hubby is a rock and my biggest cheerleader we are a good team, he helps me calm down and reminds me its OK . we are in the trenches so to speak when it comes to parenting but it is nice i am not alone. Thanks for listening =).... i hold onto this verse a lot of days i love it<br />
