So Anbo isnt potty training, well Im not training her, but she like to sit on the big potty and read a book. So tonight was one of those nights, I put the small seat thing inside the big seat, which doesnt really fit in but figured she was fine. I left the bathroom while Nick watched her.
I was sitting on the couch when I heard a splash and screaming, I jumped up and RAN!!!
Anbo had fallen into the toilet, the little seat thing went right in with her! Her little arms and legs were straight up in the air and water was all the way up her waist. Nick was yelling for me to get a towel Anbo was yelling NO POTTY NO POTTY! When I knew she was fine, I was in TEARS laughing! poor baby! We made her sit on the potty again after that, while Nick was holding her so she would hopefully see that its ok.
We do have a toddler potty, she just preferred sitting on the big one! Not anymore I dont think! haha we shall see!
Poor baby!

A friend tagged me well Anberlyn) in her blog, which lead to me panicking needing to update!
I dont know what to write anymore, Im constantly at a loss for words. Time is defiantly flying and we will have another little girl very soon! Pregnancy and I are not the best of friends. Heart burn is killer, my little gymnast inside me keeps me up all night. So here I am lack of sleep, and so looking forward to the future. Ive been blessed.
Tomorrow we are celebrating Anberlyn's 2nd birthday! Im super excited, I tried really hard to keep it small due to finances and only invited 14 people!!! which forgetting about husbands we have 21 adults coming and 11 children!!!! YIKES, This whole Shin Dig is happening in my little condo, we have moved furniture around, and I think we are gonna pull it off, at least I pray we do! We will be a little crowded, but I think we should have fun! OH!!! and I am SOOOOOOOOO proud of Nick and I, we finished cleaning the night before, decorations are in place and all we have to do is pull the food out of the fridge!!! (oh and Nick is running to the store to grab ice for drinks)We are such procrastinators Im so stunned!
My sister in law Crystal flew into town this past week, with her brand new one month old baby girl!!! It was such a joy to meet her! Miss Juliet is such a little cutie pie.
Nick and I are doing GREAT, besides the colds that are lingering. I married an amazing man!! He takes such great care of Anberlyn and I!
Anberlyn is such a great little girl,so independent, smart and has the best personality, she makes me laugh. Dont get me wrong she has her moments!!! a few today but she is wonderful!
Well Thats all!

My Favorite Chapter:
Psalm 139
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
5 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.
7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall falla]">[a] on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
13 For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;b]">[b]
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
19 Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God!
Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.
20 For they speak against You wickedly;
Your enemies take Your name in vain.c]">[c]
21 Do I not hate them, O LORD, who hate You?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.
A God who knows me and loves me. Who built me just the way I am in my mothers womb. A God who knows everything about me. Who is with me and takes care of me. How can I not love a God who loves me this much. This God loves you just as much.
I pray in this coming year that I can be an example of his love. That I grow closer to Him. He has blessed me beyond words.

A Time to reflect.......
Im noticing a lot of posts and blogs like this. Many had struggles and pain. Many had the best year ever. Me it was ok. Not wonderful not horrible. We made some pretty big changes.
The beginning of the year we were in Corona, Nick was working for his dad, Anberlyn was a year old.
February a friend and I started a Christian mommy group, in hopes to bring mommies strong friends of like mindedness. I have made wonderful friends through that group. Though now the group is slowly falling apart and will not last through another year I am so happy to have met these women. (there is no drama or anything in the group, people just have busy lives and cant make it to events, and its getting expensive and there are dues. We plan on continueing the group via facebook) I also turned 25 this month of February.
March and April the friend mentioned above and I started our own business! That was super exciting making little girls pretty, what a joy. Rock A Bow genius name.
Nick has been in search of a new job, the search has been long and hard on him. He had a second interview and was to start in May. We decide to put in our 30 day notice to move, the drive wasnt that bad for Nick but not necessary we moved 20 minutes down the road to Yorba Linda (which 91 e time is like an hour down the road.) We LOVE the condo we are living in! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
May is when we moved.
June Nick and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary! Time flies! I married an Amazing Man and really couldnt ask for better! He accepts me for ALL my short comings, as do I him. He is an amazing provider and works hard so that I may stay home to raise our children.
July Im pregnant. I got pregnant on the 4th of July, there were fireworks!! haha corny I know! I knew three days after that, that I was pregnant! My breasts were so tender and sore and I just knew. We waited a few weeks to tell anyone as to not take away from my little brother as he was leaving for basic training. We did however tell him. My morning sickness started this month as well! UGH! Awful Awful times!
August-Sick
September-Sick
October feeling better, still getting sick but not as often, I am able to go through my days for the most part.
November, a month of thanksgiving, and we had much to be thankful for!
December- was hard Nicks work messed up his paycheck. Bills went through that werent expected. We had to borrow money, which was very difficult on hubby, but we made it through! I think...... We also welcomed a new family member into the world!!! Miss Juliet Joy was born on December 23rd! Im so happy for my sister and brother in law!
As the year comes to an end, a word that keeps coming to mind is forgiveness. People often say it, but dont mean it.
All through the Bible ( which I believe ) It also talks about it.
I believe if one genuinely asks for forgiveness, and I forgive them, thats it. No more bringing it up. My heavenly Father does it for me, why not take from that example?
That I think will be what I work on this coming year, forgiveness, among other things.

In three months time
Emersyn Abigale you are growing so quickly, time is flying by. I love feeling your every move and love watching you move across my belly, so alien like and creepy! I love knowing your inside of me, that I am protecting you from harm, that I am all you have. Your daddy loves and adores you, he laughs everytime he sees that alien like move. Your sister, Anberlyn, doesnt understand yet that in three months time you are gonna change her world. She hugs & kisses my belly every night and tells you nigh night. When I ask her where her sister is she lifts up her own shirt and points to her belly, your daddy and I laugh and tell her no not there so she points at daddies belly, nope not there we tell her, when she finally comes over laughing and points at mommies tummy! She will soon know, once your here in mommy and daddies arms.
Im so excited for you to finally be here, at the same time scared of whats to come. Scared of change, not knowing what to expect from you. Its a new chapter in our lives. Im excited to meet you Emersyn, In three months time!

Its For Sure
We are having a baby girl!!! We are stoked!
As much as I (WE) wanted a boy, God had other plans for us and wanted us to have two precious girls! The ultrasound today was amazing and her profile is the same as Anberlyns!
We also came up with a name, going back and forth we were between Abigale Emerson Benson and Emerson Abigale Benson. We are going with the 2nd.
Thats all for now as Nick is waiting for me to join in on movie watching!
