We got a shed!!

My parents surprised us on Christmas Eve and told us that our big present from them was a Shed and that we could pick it up Friday from Lowes!!! Yay!! We had been talking about having to get one since we found out about baby blessing #3. So we were super excited about it. 

So friday my dad went and picked it up and brought it to our house. :) 

Sat morning Jake got up and ran to Lowe's to get a couple more things we needed to build it, and headed back home. We about ate lunch at my parents and then came home to work on putting it together. 

Jake started with the base platform for it to.sit on. Just to keep if off the ground away from the weather and so it will be easier for us to move when we build our house. And of coarse Annaliese was all about helping daddy. So sweet :) And I helped put up the sides. Don't worry it wasn't very heavy so me and my lil butter bean were ok. :)

Well we worked til dark, which right now it gets dark at 5:30. Crazyness!! And had to wait a couple days to finish up because of rain and all. 

But when we did we worked as a team. My hubby let me help as much as he knew I could. I love building things and doing all this type stuff so he knew I didn't want to just sit and watch. We gave high fives and said yay team Lewis multiple times. We laughed as did just had fun while we worked on the project.

We got it complete and I think we did an awesome job and it looks amazing :) (if I do say so myself lol ) 

I just loving doing projects together and love our growing family so much.

This past sat we started cleaning out the back room\junk room. I should have taken a before picture cause man O man when you have no where else to store things like an attic or a shed! Everything gets put into the junk room. 

So we pulled almost everything out and i went through it all and got rid of alot. It covered the back of my van. I was proud of myself and Jake was proud of me. See I'm kinda sentimental about things and sometimes have anxiety about getting rid of things that mean something to.me. But I got rid of so much stuff and it didn't bother me not one time. Well maybe one time. Lol. But it's so good to make room for new things that will be sentimental and make more room for our growing family and sweet baby #3. 

Avery is super excited about her new room. She has already told me the colors she wants it and where she wants to put her bed. Lol is she 4 or 14??? Lol 

We are just so blessed that our families are so loving, caring, and supportive. 

So thankful my parents bought us the shed.

We knew we needed and wanted one but getting one wasn't looking like in the budget for a while. So we are just so thankful and blessed. 

God knows what he is.doing and we thank him for the big and little blessings :) 

God Bless!

ICE ICE BABY

We found out some amazing news in Sept.2014. 

ICE ICE BABY =] 

We are expecting Baby Lewis # 3. 

We couldn't be more excited and thankful.

We have prayed and prayed for another baby. 

It has been almost 2 years we had been trying but not trying. 

After every blessing over our food, both girls would say "Please let mommy have a baby."

So sweet. I love those girls =] 

I was in shock at 1st because we had been trying so long and after taking many pregnancy test every month saying negative. I was at my parents house when I found out. I had a feeling so on the way home from dropping Avery off at school I stopped and bought a test. I came to my parents house , didnt say anything to my mom. I went to the bathroom and took the test. POSITIVE!!!! I sat there in shock and smiling from ear to ear. And of coarse I started crying and thanking the Lord over and over again. I heard my uncle come into the house so I waited to say anything to my mom. I dried my face off and calmed myself down, trying to not make it obvious that I knew something that they didnt know. Finally my uncle left and as he was walking out my sis n law walked in. So I waited longer. I didnt want to tell anyone but my mom at 1st cause I wanted to tell the hubby 1st. 

Well I snuck my mom in the other room where I had hid the pregnancy test. And said look!!!!

She was so happy/ nervous cause she wanted everything to be good.

So we walked back out and acted normal. 

We all loaded into my sis n laws tahoe and headed to pick up Avery from school. 

I was so excited and just so happy that I couldnt hold it in.

So after we picked up Avery we stopped by Dollar General to let the girls use the bath room before we headed to the thrift  stores (treasure hunting).

When we came back out she was sitting in the drivers seat and I was in the passenger seat and I said look at this cool pic I got. She was thinking it was a pic of the kids doing something funny in the bathroom. But to her surprise is was my pregnancy test I had taken earlier. 

She screamed and was so excited . I said I just couldnt hold it in =] 

We headed to treasure hunt in ocean springs and was trying to think of the best way to tell my hubby.

I made a plan and my sis n law was going to record the whole thing.

Finally my hubby got off work and  got to my parents. It seemed like FOREVER.

My dad , bro, mom, sis n law, and all the kids were all there. Nobody else knew yet , just us girls.

I waited on my hubby to get in the living room to sit down to tell him, But he would NEVER sit down lol. He was talking to my dad and watching something on TV eating a pickle. 

So I said lets just do it , cause it was just killing me I was so excited. 

I walked up to him with a metal box from one of our wedding showers and inside was the test wrapped in a yellow polka dot bow and a letter that said "Baby Lewis #3 is on the way! Hooray! "

I said look at this cool stuff I got today. He puts the pickle in his mouth and starts to look in the box.

He said WAAAA with the pickle still in his mouth. lol He then took the pickle out of his mouth and handed it to me and said you could have told me to take the pickle out of my mouth! lol He then said , Alright . YAY Im so excited! =]  Maybe this one will be a boy. lol

Then my dad said what your pregnant? And we said YES!!! =] 

He said welp that makes 8 grandkids. Congrats. 

My parents are so excited!

We then texted the picture of the test to Jakes parents. 

His mom called us back crying and saying Congrats and how excited they were. 

I love our babies so much and I feel so blessed to be able to have another one.

I pray that they always stay in Gods Will and Love him everyday of their lives.

I pray that me and my hubby will be great examples for them and show so much love and care like our father shows us. 

So that is the story of how we found out about Baby Lewis # 3 =] 

God Bless!
