Nathan On Barack Obama

So several times a week Nathan exclaims,

"I want Barack Obama to win because he let me beat him in bowling"

In case you are highly confused, Nathan had his 6th birthday party last April at our local bowling alley. Once Nathan finished his game of bumper bowling, Daddy said, "You beat Obama Nathan!" Apparently Obama's bowling score had recently been in the news.Obviously Obama had not used bumpers during his bowling game ha ha!

Can you say OMG SOOOOO CUTE?!

Every time he says it, he says it in the most sweet and genuine way.

Oh to be a kid again.

Random Stuff Because At This Point I Don't Know That I Will Ever Write About The Last Year Or So.

So um hi. Me again. Gonna try this again because I do NOT want to forget all of the ordinary details of my life that makes it SO extraordinary and beautiful to me.

I pretty much decided I highly doubt I will EVER be able to (want to) catch up by writing an entry about the last year or so....that said SO MANY things happen on a daily basis that I want to blog about....things I want to remember so I am going to allow myself the luxury of NOT writing a huge catch up entry and just blog what I want, when I want.

I don't know if I have ANY readers out there, if so thank you for sticking with me. If not, well you won't see this but I don't blame you one bit. I have been very active on Flickr but not with my blog.

Sooooooo here goes nothing.

My first installment of random stuff that I want to remember.

The other day Nathan proclaimed that Haley was a "snot factory" and that he was a "booger factory". I asked him what Daddy and Austin were. He said Daddy is a "poop factory" and Austin a "clown factory"

LOL

The best part?

He said "Guess what kind of factory you are Mommy?"

"A LOVE FACTORY"

*insert melting heart*

The Amazing Ride Called Life

Wow.

So much for making good on my promise.

I suck.

I know.

BUT

I am okay with that.

Life is CRAZY BUSY but such an amazing ride.

Truly.

Soooooooooooooo yeah we moved out of our 1,000 square feet rental home in May.

The house we bought is literally double the living space. It's a nice ranch home with a finished basement.

We were VERY blessed and were able to buy the home from my step brother. The main level is A LOT bigger than what we had in our rental home, never mind the fact it has a kick ass basement. It's your standard kitchen, living room, 1.5 bath, 3 bedroom, 1 playroom home with a basement that is nicely finished with a family room, bar, big laundry space, and a pool table. The two car garage comes in handy as well and we just LOVE the backyard with the patio, pool and deck, club house, and nice swing set.

It's not a mansion by any means but we sure love it.

It will be our home for decades to come.

Home sweet home indeed.

Part 2 up next!

I Need YOU

God you can't even imagine how many times I have started to type up a new blog entry and have either fallen asleep or lost my focus on writing.

I need YOU to help me kick my butt back IN TO blogging.

If you are still out there, ask me anything and EVERYTHING.....maybe if I have questions to answer it will help me get my butt going.

Pretty please?!

Oooooooooops

So last night I was laying in bed with my new laptop, getting ready to write up a new blog entry and GUESS WHAT?!

Yep you got it, I fell asleep.

I will try again tonight.

Ha Ha!

Thanks to all of you for the nice welcome back, have missed you all SO MUCH.

Looooooooooooong Overdue Hello

Damn it's been WAYYYYYYYYYY too long.

I miss you all SOOOOOO MUCH.

First and foremost, thank you SO MUCH to all of you out there who have contacted me to make sure our home and family are safe from the flooding.

I appreciate it more than you know.

Our home and family are safe and sound.

Thankfully the city we live in is perfectly safe, it just happens to be the biggest city near the flooding so our city is mentioned on the news.

Life has been crazy busy but wonderful.

The other day I was reading through some of my old iParenting diary entries and it made me REALLY MISS documenting our lives, especially our kiddos lives.

I know you all will believe it when you see it (HaHa!) but I really hope to start blogging more. Mainly so I can keep in touch with you all better, I miss you all SO MUCH, AND so I can start documenting the kiddos better.

I hope you all are doing well...I know it doesn't seem like it because of my blog absence but I think of you all VERY often and do miss you. I have done well keeping up with taking pictures but I have had no motivation to type up entries.

I am getting ready to go back in to work but I wanted to say hello real quick and let you know how much I appreciate those who have been concerned with the flooding.

I will be back soon .......

If you only look at one thing on my blog...

THIS is what I would ask you to look at.

File This Under How NOT To Start Your Morning

Our cat decided to puke all over my head and pillow this morning.

Happy Tuesday to me!

Um WOW.

Anyone know when that happened?

Apparently I have missed a lot in blog world.

RSM leaving, new births, new pregnancies, etc, etc, ETC.

Wow.

Life sure is an AMAZING ride.

Crazy and Loving It

Um Wow.

Where does the time go?

Seriously.

Life is CRAZY BUSY but I am SO loving it.

A full time job, a part time job, hubby, three kiddos, new photography business (I recently shot my first REAL PROFESSIONAL session!!!!), AND last but certainly not least WE ARE BUYING A HOUSE.

( for those who don't know, for the last 3-4 years since we have been back to my hometown we have been renting a very very VERY small house in order for me to be able to stay home with the kiddos, in particular until Little Miss Haley turned 1 ... we made it to our goal and now that I am working and our van is FINALLY paid off we can afford a larger monthly payment ... SO DAMN EXCITED AND SO READY. It isn't anything real fancy but we love it and it will almost double our living space ! )

I recently got back from THREE WEEKS of out of town training. 

I finally got word that I did in fact pass all of my licensing exams.

SO.

DAMN.

HAPPY.

AND.

RELIEVED.

Life is SO crazy busy right now that the last thing I ever feel like doing is writing a blog entry but DAMN I MISS MY BLOG AND ALL OF YOU OUT THERE. Or make that who used to be out there. Something tells me no one bothers to check my blog anymore and I can't blame ya.

Even though I don't feel like writing a real entry, I DID want to say hello and tell you all that even though I no longer blog on a regular basis, I DO think of you all every single day and MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY.
