Where Does the Time Go

Well unfortunatley I do not have a whole lot to write about. Life has been busy as always. Abbie's baptism is on the countdown and I still have a million things to do. Not to mention getting ready for Halloween. So the list has now turned into vital, most important and Oh well it will have to wait till next year!!!!
We've had some sickness and stuff to deal with, with the kids so that has slowed me down a little. Well that is really all I have to say. Oh yah started Dinky Dunkers basketball last night. I always love meeting my new team for the season. I have some good kids and some that will keep me on my toes. It means that basketball is starting soon and that brings in the best time of the year. Nov till March. The countdown to March will start soon.
Well by for now and hope ya'll havin a good day.

My main Man

Well Tevin had his first Thunderbird singers concert tonight. Of course if was great. Simple but sweet and entertaining. He amazes me with the all the abilities that he has. Yet he drives me crazy almost every day. I think that a mother loves her sons so much because they are so different then what they know and they exasperate you yet they bring you so much joy at the same time. At least mine does.
Well life here has been pretty much same old. Busy, busy. Emily is learning how to read and I can't believe how quickly she is picking it up. They use this system called Jolly Phonics and it really teaches them there letters and sounds very quickly.
Abbie lost a tooth today, finally. It is only her third tooth. They seem to be taking forever to be falling out. Boo Boo is growing like crazy and has decided that she needs to have her own personal cell phone at all times. She has even called a few people on occasion with it.
Well that is all for now and I have no pictures to offer but I just wanted to jot down my thoughts about the 4 things that make my life complete!!!

Random

Okay well this post is mostly for me. I need to remember this in later years.

Emily comes into my room yesterday and says mom, how long have those little pictures been on the wall. Referring to the frames on our wall that have been there for about a year now. I replied a long time, why, I 've never seen them before!!!! Then she went ahead and took a picture of them so she would remember that they were there.

She shares my passion for photography and in fact that is what she wants for Christmas.

Back Tracking A Little

Well I started the Blog after Abbie had her Birthday. But I need to go back and post the big night of getting her ears pierced. I love all my children for different reasons and they are each special. Well this little girl, (well I guess she is not really little anymore) holds a special place in my heart. I can remember when we found out that we were having a girl. I knew all along for some reason that she was going to be a girl. She is the only one that I have had that experience. I can remember being so excited. She was the easiest baby in the world. So pleasant, so happy slept through the night so fast. She makes my life easy! And for many of you who know my life.... well it is not easy. She makes everything easy and does things so obediently. She's not perfect and has her struggles but I am so grateful to be her mom.

Anyway enough of the sentiment so on her eighth birthday we got to go and get her ears pierced. She was very excited and we had a wonderful night together. She talked the whole time. There is such a difference when I am in the car with Tevin than with Abbie. Tev and I talk a little and then usually listen to music and sometimes there's silence. But not with Abbie, from the moment we get in the car until the time we come home she does not stop talking. One would wonder what about.... I don't know it amazes me what she thinks about!!!!

Anyway here are some cute pictures of her on her big day!!!!!

And the exploring continues....

Be careful what you wish for

Well it's amazing how life can be funny. It took us two years and two months to finally get prego with Bryna. It was a long and difficult time in my life. But finally the day came when we were blessed to bring Boo Boo aka Bryna into our family. It has not been an easy road. She had reflux really bad for the the first 8 months and so she spent the whole time pucking and not sleeping!!!!Which of course meant no sleep for me. But we are almost 11 months and have made huge progress in the puke department and we finally can sleep all night long( most nights). But on that note she has brought so much joy and laughter into our home. After not having a baby in the home for 4.5 years I think Ryan and I truely forgot what it was like to have a baby. As I was trying to make birthday dinner for Rye the other day it was quite the adventure with a little one at my feet. But it is so much fun and I can't believe that she is almost one!!!!!!!

Turning 36

Well as always life around here is never dull. I have decided that the sooner I accept that fact that my house will never be clean the happier I will be. I guess if I got rid of the 8 kids and the husband then I would have a clean house. But then what fun would life be.

Well on wednesday we celebrated ry's birthday. I had to take pictures of what we ate. Because not much has changed over the last 11 years.

Navaoo Tacos and Skor cake. I have a picture of his 26th birthday and we are eating the exact same meal. I am going to try and find it this weekend and I will post it. The interesting thing is who is in that picture. One child, how many children fill that picture now. 4

Which leads me to my next post!!!!!!

Emily

Ryan took Emily to Wal-Mart with him yesturday and she wanted to take her own money. She decided that she was going to buy some gum. Ryan told her that he would buy it for her. But she insisted on using her own money. She was very proud of herself. The great part of it was she came home and shared a piece with everyone in the house. And in our house that is alot of people (except Autumn because she was sure that Autumn was to little to have gum)!!!!

Hello blogging world here I come!!!

Okay well here is my first ever official post. No one but me may ever read it but that is okay. I have finally decided to join the blogging world for a few reasons. I have read and read other peoples blogs over and over again and love to do it. Many times people have made comments about using as a journal for the life with there family. I have been thinking about that for awhile and then this morning something happened that made me decide that it would be a good thing to do. I will get to that in a second. So here I am and I look forward to playing and typing and exploring the blogging world along with the rest of you.

Okay to the comment that got me here. We have a big move happening to our family some time in the near future. Where and when is yet to be determined but the kids are struggling with this and don't want to leave. I am trying to give little plugs for how cool this place or that place would be etc... Well Emily my 5 year old decided that her daddy needed to get a job at Wal-Mart and then all would be well and we could stay in Greeley forever. So of course the other kids jumped on the band wagon and agreed!!!

So when I was working out today I was thinking about that and how cute it was and decided that I needed to to better at writing these moments down. Since we are in the age of computers and not writing I decided that by doing a blog and saving all of my entries and maybe even putting them in a book later on I would be doing some family history and it would be easier for me to keep track of those little moments that are so important.

So the journey begins and I hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.
