Ok, ok, I know its been way longer than it should have been since I posted. Sorry.... We have had a very busy, crazy few weeks. It all started with a rig move for Shawn. While I normally LOVE rig moves, this one kinda stressed me out.... We got lots of extra time with Shawn, which we loved, but it put us a little behind for the month, kinda stressful. Luckily, the kiddos decided to stay well while he was off. Just as he went back to work Mason got a tummy bug that kept us (me) running. Poor baby had to go to the ER, change his formula for a couple days, and got lots of spoil time. Thank you all for the prayers for his recovery!!! His tummy feels much better now!! We are also on day 6 of antibiotics for his first ear infection. I'm hoping he will be all better soon, however I think we will be back at the doc's office this week because hes still fussy and tugging on his little ears.
We also celebrated Halloween!!! Jacee was Snow White this year and was just gorgeous!! I will try to post pics next post. I haven't downloaded them yet. Oops... Mason was going to be our little hunter but was feeling so lousy that we decided to let him just wear his jammies. He slept the night away while Jacee enjoyed her time with Austin, aka Spiderman. They were so cute running up the driveways hollering 'trick or treat'. Jacee kept forgetting to wait for the candy which as momma, I truly didn't mind. One house, the lady chased her down the drive to give her candy. Lol. Jacee had no idea she had missed it!! Btw, we are still overloaded with candy if your kiddos didn't get enough...... I let Jacee have a tootsie roll that night and she ate half a bite and gave me the rest because she 'doesn't like candy'. I LOVE hearing that!! It will be so much easier for her to stay healthy if she will stay away from the sweets!!
Well, that's it for now.. Will try to get some pics posted soon. Ttyl.

Changing Times
Let me start by saying that I am determined to keep this blog going better than I did Jacee's. I appreciate all of you who followed her blog, and I'm sorry I quit posting. I decided to start a new page because as most of you already know our life is no longer "All About Jacee". We are now extremely blessed with two healthy, happy kiddos!! I thank God every day that he has given us these precious gifts. Jacee is growing to be more like me than I could have ever imagined. She is headstrong, stubborn, and hardheaded. She is also so smart and amazes me every day with her understanding of this confusing world. Mason is our newest addition. He is 20 weeks old today and all boy already. He's strong, determined, and absolutely wonderful. He is so much like Shawn that it amazes me. He has his daddy's eyes and KNOWS how to get his way with Mommy.
Our world has not only changed with our new addition, but also with our family schedule. Shawn has finally found a job he likes and can be home daily with!! We are so excited to have him home with us again!! It is also a huge adjustment!!! I have spent the majority of our marriage as the only full-time adult in the house so I have to learn to give some of the decisions up to him. The kids have to get used to his new schedule as well. Jacee is trying to get used to both parents being home and in charge. She would like to think she is in charge like any other three year old on the planet, which was a little easier to accomplish when she only had one of us to get around. HaHa. Shawn and I are also having to relearn how the other one goes about daily business. Its almost like being newlyweds again and for the most part I love it!!
That gets us pretty caught up on life around the Ward household. I have so many more things on my mind but before I even begin to unload I want to say that I truly hope the things I post on here don't offend or upset anyone. I have had very mixed emotions lately from extreme happiness for our many blessings, guilt that people that I truly care about and admire have lost so much, and questions as to why God has allowed so much pain and hurt in so many lately. I know mine is not to question, however sometimes I feel so unworthy of all he has given me while so many faithful, loving, deserving people have lost so much. I have watched three of the bravest women I know take the biggest loss and turn it into a closer and stronger walk with the Lord. It has been a rough few months for so many and they are in my prayers daily. I want so badly to have words to express how much I admire all of them and love all of them. I feel at a loss every time I try to express my sympathy. I don't want to offend anyone with our blessings but I have to admit that I am selfishly very happy that I have my little boy, and that too makes me feel guilty. Please know that I love you all and as a mother it breaks my heart to think of what you must be going through.
This post got off topic and I apologize, but I needed to get this out. It's been a long, emotional day and I'm sorry for rambling on. To those lost, you are in my thoughts and prayers daily. To those who have lost, I think of you and pray daily for you too.
