2012

I haven't written in a long time. Well there is a reason behind it. Much has happened. We have two additions to our family. Evelyn Colleen was born November 25,2011. She weighed 8lbs 8oz and 20 1/4 inches long. We also, just a few weeks ago found out we have a son. His name is Forrest, hopefully we'll be changing that here soon. He doesn't like his name, mainly because he was named after his alleged father, long story, sad story. He was born November 17, 2000. Yeah, I have new born baby and also find out I have an 11 year old son. Trust me, I'm over whelmed. But you know God is in control, He's already walked my life, He knows what I can handle and can't handle. Although I feel as if my walls are caving in and the room is getting smaller by the minute. God always rescues me when I call His name. ALWAYS! I just need to reach out and ask, and ask and ask, and ask. I don't have any pictures of Forrest but here are some of Evie Bug :)

She's my serious girl :)

I know that blurb was very short but to the point. I guess you can say there's been a lot going on in the Bigelow house hold, but God knows best. This whole situation with our son is definitely stretching our limits. The only thing that has kept me from depression right now is Jesus Christ and my daughter. I know that sounds so odd to say, because I am not one to 'get depressed'. But this has been a spiritual battle. Really it has. Chris has had to face his past. This time when this boy was conceived was the WORST time in Chris's life. And now he has to not only face it but put it to bed. Which has been a very good thing but also the hardest. It's amazing how God works. He answers your prayers in the oddest ways. But all things work together for good. If we TRUST. That is one thing I have been struggling with. TRUST. God I TRUST YOU. The devotion 'Jesus calling', which I highly recommend, has been such a blessing. It talks about trusting and coming into Jesus's presence. Keeping our FOCUS ON HIM and not our problems. But laying at His feet and walking away.

Baaka Baaka and Mini Mouse

Nicole is not going to love me after this post. I'm sorry I just had to post these adorable pictures of her children. Last night I spent the night at the Brown's. Adam is away for the week in Atlanta and Chris is working nights, so we decided to have a wives evening! Anyways, the kids were crazy wild. VERY EXCITED TO SEE AUNTIE :) We read some books, I gave them baths and snuggle buggled. As we were all snuggled on the couch, they pipped up and wanted to show me what they were wearing for Halloween! Soren said, "Novie's going to be Mini Mouse and I'm going to be Baaka Baaka". I looked at Nicole, "Baaka Baaka". She explained the rubber chicken he loves so much (she has a post about the rubber chicken). Then they came out and showed me these outfits! Soren's outfit is from Old Navy and Novie is borrowing Fi Fi's old Mini Mouse! They are SOOOO ADORABLE!!! Soren's pants are backwards, the feet are just like chicken feet! It's so sweet :)

Trigger Man and LIFE

Soooooo, we have a new addition to our little Bigelow family, (no I didn't have a baby). He's furry, cute, lovie and Sophie's second brother! His name is Trigger. He is the second litter of pups. RC, Chris's older brother, and Nicole (his wife) have 2 kids and 2 large dogs annndd they both work. Sadly, they had to give up Trigger. So now Sophie has a play mate! Her and Trigger get along REALLY good. They play ALL day long. Although she can be quite the brat sometimes, they are buds. He doesn't go pee unless she does, he follows her around, he plays with her toys....and on and on. I wanted to post pictures up when I got him all shaved up but this are the ones I took when we first got him. We have had him now for over a month. He a huge sweetie. He loves attention, always wanting to please and most of all snuggles :)

The last two pictures are of the both of them drinking out of Synnove and Soren swimming 'cool' and playing tug-o-war with their duck! These are my children. They are cute, furry and cuddly!

LIFE UPDATE!

Now that we have the both of them we are desperatly in need of buying a new house with a fence. WE FOUND ONE! BUT we haven't heard anything more. We put an offer on the house August 31 and still haven't heard. The situation is kind of messy. The house actually isn't on the market, there is a divorce, bankrupcty and the house is in the process of going into forclosure. IT'S A MESS. So we are hoping to buy it before it goes to auction, obviously. I would post up pictures, but I don't want to jinx myself (I know silly). But I'm trying not to get my hopes up. The home is absolutely perfect. It fits our needs completely. But we are in the waiting period... AND IT SUCKS! So please pray for God's Will!

Synnove and Soren

My niece and nephew. I would have to say they are the most adorable children you will ever meet. They are not only beautiful toe heads but extremely SMART and have the funniest personalities. Synnove is identical to her mother, tell it like it is and not afraid to. Soren has the heart of gold that melts in your arms every time he tells you he loves you. They both are very smart and learn very quickly. I am so happy they live in clatsop county now :)

Here are some pictures of them...

Synnove was a flower girl in my wedding. I think Soren felt left out since he wasn't in the wedding

So these are my little chickens. Everytime I call them Auntie Weesie's chickens Synnove says, "Weesie, we're not chickens". I love these chickies.

Memorial Weekend

Memorial Weekend

Camping this year was an absolute blast. Nicole and I were ATV buddies and we had the greatest time. All the pictures and video's her and I took on our trips are on her blog. Ourlifeinthesticks.blogspot.com. But here are a few I was able to take. We had 8 travel trailers out there and 1 tent! HUGE crowd and a wonderful vacation from work!

Uncle Don bought some pink flamingos and Gnomes for Darryl and Jodie's trailer!



Good thing my husband doesn't read our blog. He wouldn't like this pic :)

Novie grubber :)

Big girl rider!!

This is my sweet Sophie. She was like this as soon as she got into the truck to go home!

Our dog Sophie

My sweet Sophie


This is Sophie when she was only a few weeks old. She was the cuttest puppy! For those who are wondering she's a miniature Schnauzer. Yes I know your thinking, little dog, Elise? My husband wanted a Mini Schnauzer since his mother had received one 4 years ago. So when Skipper and Mia (Vicki's dogs) had their first batch of pups Chris had his pick. Now, your typical Schnauzer: very yippy (barks), stubborn, hyper, ect... Sophie, complete opposite. She is defiant when she wants to be but she hardly makes a noise. The only thing she really barks at is the dark :) She's is more like a cat. It's really quite funny. She is due for a hair cut soon, so I won't put up her picture today but here's a puppy picture. Sophie Bigelow :)
