We're back!!!

Finally! I can't believe it has been over a month since I last posted. That's absolutely ridiculous. I am going to throw out a challenge to us all to see if we can post at least once a week. That goes for everybody!! Starting now. Daily is definitely too much, but there is no reason why we can't carve out 10 minutes once a week to update everyone on our lives.

Well, now that that's settled (and 5 of my 10 minutes is used up), I will try to very quickly update on the latest. Now that the holidays are over and the weather is so freakin yucky, my kids have been going completely stir crazy. Therefore, I have enrolled Noah and Hannah in some martial arts classes and Hannah and Faith will also be doing gymnastics. I am hoping that these activities will help all the kids with some discipline issues as well as provide them with some different ways to use up their energy other than picking on each other at home. I know, I know, all I can do is hope, right? So that's where we're at with the kiddos these days.

Additionally, we have been working on some more remodeling around the house as of late. Well actually it's more of just a never ending project around here, I guess. The pics posted here are of the downstairs bathroom. Newly primed, textured, and painted a pretty beigy color. I love it. Of all people, I know Morgan would appreciate this considering that this was her bathroom all last summer. For those of you who don't know this, the former color was a very, very bright blue. We are extremely excited to be rid of it, let me tell ya.

Well, that's all I have time for for the moment. Once again, I challenge you all to post at least once a week. Let's get reconnected people.

A Day in the Life!

Today was the first day of winter vacation and we had a very busy day. The kids and I went over to Nichole's to visit with her and the boys and help her with the "secret family cookies!" Boy what a project!! We had a lot of fun though. Noah got to play the guitar hero while the little ones helped us mommies with the baking. Once again, I must say that Nichole is a very brave woman! What a mess. At one point, Tanner pulled out a laundry basket and all three little kiddies had fun going for a ride. Later in the evening while Hannah and Daddy were at the YMCA, Noah decided to give Abby a much needed bath. (I helped a little).

Hey all!!

Don't forget to vote on the latest poll. Also, if you have other favorites that are not on the list, just send me a comment with your answer. I'm trying to keep this thing goin here girls!

Done Shopping!

I am proud to say that I am finally finished with my Christmas shopping. YEAH!! This has been a major contributing factor into why I have not posted in such a long time. It's so hard to find time to get out and about that I found myself using every spare hour or two. Now comes the "really fun" part of wrapping. UGH! I absolutely hate that part. I'm one of those who has no desire whatsoever to make the package look pretty when it's only going to be ripped open. Maybe I'll just have to order a pizza sometime in the next week and have a wrapping party. Any volunteers?

Belated Happy Birthday!

Okay, so I finally was able to get Faith to somewhat settle down enough to send out a message. She has quite some interesting things to say regarding her relationship with her cousin, Hunter. It's so cute. It reminds me of when I was younger, of course I was way older than Faith at the time but that's besides the point. Our aunt's husband had a son, our "cousin", who I had the biggest crush on. Even though we weren't blood I still think that is pretty weird when I look back on it! Anyway, here is a message from Faith to Hunter. I will try to get some pics of my Disneyland trip up very soon. Unfortunately, Brian and I completely spaced taking any pictures last night of the trick or treating fun. There was too much chaos going on, I guess. But we had a fabulous time going around our neighborhood. I never realized before how much fun it can also be just to stay home and hand out candy. I think that was probably Noah's favorite part of the entire night! Bye for now.

Bye, Bye, Bye

Sorry guys, off to California for the next 4 days. We'll catch up when I get back. Love you all!
