A glimpse into our last few months

If there was a "WORST BLOGGER AWARD" I would definitely be a running contender. Life has been so crazy and BUSY! I started this blog as a journal and a fun way to share our lives with friends and family..but yes I have slacked. We are currently living in Springville and have been for the last 6 months. We LOVE it, we are CONTENT, and I can't possibly move again for a while. 4 moves in less than 2 years has been really hard on all of us and it feels good to have some place to call home. I miss my friends in Monroe dearly, and my mom...but hopefully she will be up here soon as well. Our neighborhood is fantastic, I have amazing neighbors and my kids have so many friends. We have sidewalks and sewer systems..lol Only my Monroe friends can appreciate that comment :) We love the school here and my kids go back next Monday. Tyler will be in 4th grade, Kaitlyn in 2nd, and Nick will be attending the preschool at the same school. He will only be going for 4 1/2 hours a week, but I think Jackson is going to have a hard time not having his best buddy home all the time. They are so close...Nick asked for a picture of Jackson for his 4th birthday, which still makes me smile when I think about it. Life is beautiful and I am trying to soak it all up right now. I am blessed.

California Trip- DiSnEyLaNd!!!

The Happiest Place on Earth..yep!












California Trip-The Beach

Who plans a spur of the moment California trip in less than 48 hours..that would be me. As crazy as that sounds, sponenaeity really works for us. When we plan things in advance something always comes up or someone gets a cold. We had a great time even though it was more of a "mini-vacation" We didn't tell the kids until we were a few hours into the trip. I actually wanted to video tape their reaction, but didn't. I thought they would be screraming in joy, but actually their first reaction was disbelief, then the screaming and excitement followed soon after. It was a great moment and a memory at least the older two will always remember. We also got the chance to go and see one of my really good friends Lori who lives in Carlsbad, just outside of San Diego. It was an amzing trip and we are already making plans to go back in a few months.

WE LOVED THE BEACH...ESPECIALLY AT SUNSET!












Miss Kaitlyn Brianne turns 7!

Kaitlyn turned 7 and this year she actually got 3 birthday parties...because she is fabulous..and because it was impossible to get everyone together at the same time. Here are some pictures of her "friend" birthday party!
