I have my new blog all set up and am ready to move all of the posts from this site over. I just can't pull the trigger yet. What if it messes everything up? YIKES!

I have not been as good as I usually am about picking up my camera lately. So I am giving myself mini-challenges. Join in if you want.This week...By Sunday I want to have one picture of each child that says something about who they are as an individual. I better get snapping.

Things are slowly but surely returning to normal around here. OK, stop laughing. They are returning to our warped style of normal. My mom stayed through the weekend, thankfully. As I ended up with a MONSTER cold. But, we are all better today. I can somewhat breathe today and my head is no longer threatening to explode. Austin and Brodie are back at school today. Chase still doesn't feel

It does not seem possible, but Austin is eight years old today. I am not ready for him to be that old...I can prove it. I went to the store to buy a candle for his cake today. When I got home I finished making his cake. Austin came in and looked at the candle and said, "Mom, I am 8 not 7."Yup, I bought the wrong candle.Now that he is 8 he officially gets to start hunting with Jason...so Jason

So, here is the run down.Jason - Upper respiratory infection and the fluBrodie - ear infection and the fluChase - the fluAustin - the flu (caught early so we got on the Tamiflu quickly)So why am I the worst mother ever?My kids did not receive their flu shots this year. YUP! Our family doctor had me get mine when I was like 38 weeks pregnant and happened to be in his office with Chase. Chase

It is official...the flu has struck.Jason got the confirmation from the doctor yesterday that he has THE flu. He also has an upper respiratory infection. Fun times. Brodie has been running a fever for two days, but has not shown other signs of anything major. So for the next few days I plan on repeatedly spraying anything that sits still with Lysol, in hopes that the rest of us can be

Jason took Austin and Brodie camping for the first time this weekend. Needless to say, the boys were beyond excited.Jason even let Austin shoot his pistol for the first time.What did the babies and I do?

I am always looking for things around the internet to get my creative juices flowing and to get me to post on here more often. Thanks to Zoot, I was introduced to site called Shutter Sisters and their Love Thursday. Here is my cotnribution...It is an older picture, but captures the love in this house perfectly!!!

I love Target. No, really. It is impossible for me to go into a Target and come out with nothing. In fact, it is hard for me to come out having spent less than $50. It is not a good thing.I was in Target the other day and was buying a shirt. I am still not sure if the shirt looks good on me despite several compliments. I think these people were just shocked to see me out of t-shirts and

I love these two boys more than words can say....BUT...if they don't stop with their smart mouths I may have to lock them in a closet.And yes, Mom, I realize that they are just like THEIR mother. Who do I have to blame for that?

So I mentioned recently that I have been feeling like I am in a spiritual slump. Nothing major, just out of sync. A lot of that can be attributed to the fact that we had not been attending church for a few months. In late summer we decided that we would stop going to our church 20 miles away and try to find a church closer to our house. What ended up happening was us becoming very lazy about

Can you believe that Evan is already 2 months old? Well, two months and two days to be exact. It amazes me! We had his 2 month check up yesterday. He is doing wonderfully and our doctor was very impressed with him. As far as I am concerned he is one of the four smartest, most wonderful children ever! OK, so maybe I am biased.Evan weighed a whopping 13 lbs. Would you believe that at 13lbs

7:00 amThe boys are eating their breakfast, preparing for the day ahead. Coffee in hand I feel colder than normal. We are in a barren wasteland. It seems empty. There is information I need that I can not retrieve. Answers need to be found. But how? I give up on my search for the promise land and finish my morning chores. I make lunches, sign folders, get babies bundled up for the trek to

As you can see I have yet to get back to regular posting. It isn't that I don't want to or that I don't have anything to talk about. I am having a hard time articulating lately what it is that I do want to say. I have about 10 drafts of posts waiting in queue that just aren't what I want to post. I have several friends going through life changing events right now and it has my mind racing.

Last year I did a 2006 wrap-up post. I am going to do the same one for this year. Away we go...1. What did you do in 2007 that you’d never done before?I am ashamed to say that I can't think of anything AGAIN this year. Very bad2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?I don't usually do traditional resolutions. Here is my No Way list from last year..I

Totally random post...* My mom made my sister in law and me scarves and hats for Christmas. She is so crafty and talented. Aren't we cute?* I don't *do* New Year's Resolutions because I think they just set you up for failure. But I do have several goals that I would like to work toward this year. More on that later, but one of them is to get back to blogging on a regular basis.* I make really

We are home from our few days in Lubbock. The trip was good, but too short. Jason, Chase and Evan ended up fighting a cold the whole time. I have lots of laundry and cleaning to do. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.Pictures of our trip can be seen here...I wasn't quite as good about taking lots of pictures as normal due to dealing with a baby with a cold. Back soon with a better post.

That's what I have been with regards to this blog...total slacker. I feel I have good excuses, but really they aren't that good. It seems every time I sit down to write something I am called away by a child. Have you ever felt busy doing a whole lot of nothing? You know, just daily life, but nothing you could really say, "Oh today I had such a productive day." Truth is I have been feeling a

During this time of year about 4 out of every 10 news stories has to do with something involving Christmas shopping it seems (I totally just pulled that out of thin air...I rock that way). I keep hearing them talk about how much money in gift cards goes unused every year. Thus, scaring people away from buying gift cards.People...if you don't want your gift card send it to me. Seriously.I don't
