This Week...

This week I have a list of things to get done and so little time to do it...The van needs to go through emissions...get an oil change and new tabs...I have to do laundry and pack for our trip...Clean house because it's always nicer to come home from a trip to a clean house...I'm babysitting Jeff's little brother Eric tomorrow...Today I did do a little laundry but not all of it...my boys need hair cuts...I have to return something to costco...Have a meeting tomorrow night...No School for the kids at all this week...But guess what it's ok...I can do it...Im choosing right now to not get stressed about it...This trip to Seattle is going to be so much fun...I cant wait till thursday morning to pack the kids into the car in -4 deg weather and head to the wet side of the state...I'm going to take a million pictures and we are going to enjoy just being together as a family!!! SEATTLE here we come!

Update...

I know... I know I've been MIA for a while now...not sure anyone still looks at this blog because I never update it...Well I'm not making any promises to be better at it but I'm going to try...

Ok since I posted last a million things have happened and there is no way I'm going to be able to remember them all so here are the big ones...

Ashlynn got Baptized by her daddy...We are very proud of her for making this great choice...She was very patient to wait for her Daddy to be ready to perform this ordnance...

Jeff found a new job...He is now working as a Tow Truck Dispatcher for Rouses Towing...He works nights Sunday through Thursday...It doesn't pay very well but it is a job...

I got to go on an AMAZING trip to Washington DC and Virginia for 2 weeks by my self...I went to shoot my cousins wedding and got to stay and visit with family for a while...I would love to take my family there and spend more time seeing everything...I took over 2000 pictures while I was there...I will share a few later...

All 4 kids are in school now!!! Sky is in 4th grade and doing very well...Ash is in 3rd grade and doing very well in everything but reading...We just finished up 21 hrs of tutoring at Sylvin and it has made a huge difference...Hayden is in his second year of ECEAP and loves it...Xander started ECEAP this year and has learned so many things...They started the boys in opposite classes with one in the morning class and one in the afternoon class but this week Xander was moved into the afternoon class...This gives me 3 1/2 hrs Mon-Thur free!! Hopefully I can find a job to do from home...

The boys all had Birthdays...Sky 10...Hayden 5...Xander 4...And Ashlynn will be 9 on Friday...They are growing up soooooo fast...No more Diapers and No more car seats...

The Holidays were good this year...We escaped all illness and avoided any puking...With the exception of a few health issues I'm having...

I found out in November that i have Planters Fasciitis...It's a foot issue in both my feet...I wont go into detail but i have been sentenced to wear a boot on my left foot for 6 to 12 months and Splints on both feet at night...This is not fun but I'm learning to live with it...

That's about all I'm going to write about today but I will keep adding more as I remember...

No Excuses...

OOOps where did May go...

Ok so march is almost gone and here it my first post...there is so much to post about but to be honest i really am not motivated to write it all down...so here it is in a nut shell...Blue and Gold Father Son Cake...Swimming lessons...My Birthday...Pine Wood derby...Parent teacher conferences...Spring break...Jeff's Back...Craft fair...Field trip to NW Seed and Pet...and I'm sure much much more...here are a few pictures...

Happy Birthday Ashlynn!!

Ashlynn is 8...how can this be...she was just turning 1 with those cute little pigtails and chubby cheeks...now she is growing up way to fast...she loves blue and purple and green...she hates PINK!!!...(except hot Pink)...she loves Bella Sara (if you don't know what Bella Sara is and you have a little girl check it out at bellasara.com)...she loves to swim...and she is a really good swimmer...she loves to play computer and watch the Disney channel...she loves school even though she struggles a lot with reading...she is trying to get all caught up before the end of the year...she is a good helper with her brothers...she loves to sing and reminds us everyday that she is the best singer in the family...she loves Littlest Pet Shop and Loving Family Doll House and Drawing and playing out side and a million other things...She is taking Spanish lessons and will soon be speaking a language Jeff and I don't understand...She misses her Sister Sierra so much...She asks for a sister almost every day (not going to happen)...We love Ashlynn and are so very lucky to have her in our family...

HUH...
