House fire and updates!

Yes, you read it right.. house fire. 4 days ago our house caught on fire. It was around 1:00 in the morning. Luckily I was not asleep yet. I heard something that sounded like a airplane literally fixing to crash through the house! I grabbed Cooper and when I did I saw hot scalding water pouring out of the walls, it was beyond scary. Our hot water heater had busted, and the water in this can get up to 150+ . This had to be in the 100's, as it was so steamy in the house you couldn't hardly see. You could of cooked noodles in the water it was so hot. We rushed everyone out the door SAFELY. I am still thanking God everyone got out safe and no one was hurt. We called the fire department, they went in to check and said that yes, our house did catch on fire, BUT the water put it out. The floors are caved in and we have tons of water damage as well as burnt walls and it smells so awful in the house it's unbearable. Insurance came out a few days ago, took pictures and we should know something by Thursday-Friday. We are hoping we will know something tomorrow! We are in the process of finding a new house right now to put in place of the other, but it may take a few months to even get it there. So for now we have been looking at apartments to live in for a temporary time. Fire is one of my biggest fears, this was so scary, I was crying and all I could picture was loosing all of Coopers stuff, my stuff and everything!! We have had tons of people praying for us and asking if we need anything. You guys are incredible and so amazing and I thank you all for asking if we need any help but mainly for the wonderful prayers! God knows what we need and he will help us through this! For now we staying at my aunts and grandmas, bless them. Things could have been A LOT worse, God was with us that night for sure. Thanks for reading this! This is why I haven't been on in a while because I have been going through a lot with this and it's hard loosing your own home. We were able to go in a get some stuff out but we have to be very careful because the floors are caved and there are tons of water damage.

Other than that scary night me and Cooper have been doing some shopping and getting everything together for his birthday! Which will be in about 25 more days, he has 4 days till he is 11 months old. It's unbelievable. I can't believe my itty bitty baby is growing up so fast.

We did some shopping at the wonderful and addicting store called TARGET (; We ended up getting some paper straws which will be set out for people and also probably going to use two for his birthday banner I am doing for him. The plate isn't birthday related by the way, it was just a buck at Target and is totally adorable! And I also got him some felt owl, pumpkin and leaf stickers to decorate the fireplace and his high chair with.

Also, his birthday iron on came yesterday and his birthday high chair banner should be here tomorrow. I will be working on his birthday onesie tomorrow, so I will show the finished product of that once done!

And I have been peeling orange, yellow and white crayons all day yesterday!! I peeled them for so long my finger nail underneath was bleeding. Today I attempted to do some more but my fingers hurt so bad I skipped it! But these will be made out of home made candy corn crayons for the kids party favors. Can not wait to do this!!

 

We did some shopping yesterday at Publix! I am trying to get him started on some whole milk but he doesn't seem to like it very much. He needs it though for his bones, so if anyone has some suggestions let me know! I am going tomorrow to get him some organic vanilla flavored some hopefully this will help! I also thought maybe heating it up may help as well.

Also Target has out Halloween mac and cheese! It has pumpkin, bat and ghosts shaped noodles. It's so adorable and the kids will love it! At least Cooper did! It's only a dollar, so this would be awesome for a Halloween party as well.

And Cooper having some cheese, banana and turkey slices for lunch today! Also my child loves broccoli!! LOVES it. Just like his mama loving beans, rice and broccoli! I am so blessed he loves to eat healthy and loves anything. Hopefully this will continue and he won't get too picky. (;

 

I wanted to show two more things! The first picture his Coopers Christmas tie from Etsy that came a few days ago! It's a iron on, so can't wait to work with this! And the next photo is a baby food jar with gold fish snacks in it. I just wanted to say that baby food jars are the absolute best things to put snacks in when your on the road! If you have more than one kid, give each of the kids one to themselves! It's just enough for them and easy to carry along (:

Thanks for looking guys and please keep the prayers coming! I appreciate them all and God bless you all. I hope everyone has a good rest of the week and weekend (:
