Where I've been

.....Busy..... No super busy!

It’s been a while since my last blog post! You know it’s been way too long when your husband asks why you haven’t been blogging! I didn’t think husbands noticed those things….


We were hit by a major flu bug that wreaked havoc on our family for nearly two weeks. It still lingers in the form of an annoying cough that will not make an exit! At least I finally got my voice back, and that wasn’t until the past weekend. It was kind of comical because I sounded like a man for a while there!

Life has been so busy! I feel like I am always on the go- never at home, and there is never enough time in the day! I use to always be home so this is a big change for me! I find myself doing a lot of late night laundry and last minute cleaning!

We are in the middle of a huge remodeling project. It’s that time of year again. I think we do this about this time every year. The boys and the bathroom are getting new floors. The boys are getting a dark wood floor, the bathroom a gorgeous ceramic tile. Paint for the boys, bathroom, and our room. The door frames are finally fixed, and they shut correctly and lock! It’s amazing what a house settling will do to your doors! The bathroom has a horrible texture on the wall. All of my walls have a texture, but this is one that we did not do. Someone else did this one and they messed it up in a royal kind of way. It’s going to be a big job to fix, but my bathroom is going to look all fancy when it’s finished! Our front yard and carport have had a major overhaul as well. Things are really looking great around here, but remodeling sure costs a ton!

The kids are all surviving the remodel. The boys will be sleeping on the couch for a few days this weekend, but I think they will be very pleased with their new digs!

These days Payton is growing his hair really long, and playing guitar. He is totally rocking the skinny jeans, a flannel shirt, and his vans. He is obsessed with Nirvana and all other 90’s music. How in the world did I get so lucky? Aaron and I can listen to the music we grew up on and he never complains! It definitely makes for a more enjoyable car ride! Gosh I love him- even if he is a teenager!! ERAY

Micah made the news paper for honor roll, and principals list again. We are so proud! He’s making tremendous progress with this OT. It’s amazing how much it’s helped already! I love his therapist… she is truly a blessing!

We registered Jack for Pre K 4 at Micah’s school, and we are so excited about it! He’s been ready for school for a while. His little brain is such a sponge! He’s writing his name, identifying all letters, numbers, shapes, and colors. We are so proud and excited for this next big step!

Cale has had a HUGE Vocabulary explosion. Just this week the kid told me “I love you” and melted my heart! What is he not saying these days? He’s turning into such a big boy! In the car earlier he said “I want to watch Blues Clues. What can I say? He loves Blue!

I only see my life getting busier! I love every minute of it and wouldn’t trade it for the world!
