Bliggity Blog Promise
So, a lot has happened since my last (2nd to last) post...nearly a YEAR ago! I've recently promised myself to blog or journal at least once a week, so wish me luck! Since I have so much to catch up on, I'm just going to highlight each member of the family over the next several days to break it up a bit. Once I'm caught up, I hope to post more random and exciting things! Oh, and in order to better protect the fam...I'll be referring to each member by Daddy, Mommy, Big Bro, Lil Bro, and Princess P. At least until I come up with something more creative. ;)

I Plead {Temporary} Insanity
Dear Friends and Fellow Bloggers...
I've LOST my sanity. If you find it, please kindly return it. I hope to post a real family update in the coming days, but today is just not the day. Not sure I would shed the best light on them at the moment. Do brothers EVER get along? EVER??? I would gladly take back the terrible twos for these TERRIBLE TERRIBLE THREES!!! Remind me why I have three (8) kids?! My head feels like it's going to explode, and as much as I love my chillins...I need to take a vacation. Even if it's just to my bedroom, with a locked door!!!
PS: I love my family. :) And it's a darn good thing!

Bi-Annual...better than Annual?
Well, I haven't blogged in 9 months...better than a year though, right? I don't even have time for a complete update right now, but I'm going to attempt a condensed version.
2010 has proven to be even busier than the last. I got involved with PTA stuff, so that kept me on my toes during the school year. I was also the Room Mom for Shayn's 1st grade class, so between the two, I kept quite involved. Even though it was A LOT at times, I wouldn't change it for anything. I'm so grateful to be blessed enough to stay home with my kiddos and available to volunteer my time at the school. Outside of "Mom" stuff, I finally took up a hobby of my own at the end of last year. I played co-ed indoor soccer for about 3-4 months until I got taken out by a goalie, which ended my fun. I tore my MCL (medial collateral ligament) in my right knee and am still recovering 6 months later. So...I, of course, had to find something else to take up more time that I don't really have. I've been dabbling in photography and catering, as well as some internet business ventures. It's been tough to get anywhere with LIFE getting in the way, but I'm determined that something will stick and I can help support our family by doing something I enjoy! In the meantime, I am just trying to get by with everyday stuff. We are expecting our 3rd child in November, and I have been SOOOOOOOO sick. I'm finally feeling human again, so I'm thankful. We have an appointment on the 12th of this month to find out the sex, so we're excited! I am finally entering the "fun" stage of pregnancy, so I'm looking forward to enjoying the next few months. I'm a bit nervous about adding another bundle of joy and energy to the mix, as the two I have are more than I can handle some days! Things always seem to work out, though, so I'm relying heavily on my faith and my Heavenly Father!
Scott is still keeping busy with work and football. The concrete business is still truckin', though it's been tough. We just try to remain positive and thankful for the blessings we do have! We know so many who have gone without any work for months at a time, so things could be worse. As for football, Scottie signed on with an indoor football team out of Washington State this year, so he's been traveling almost every weekend. It's been fun for him, though. We are hoping he can play locally next year!
The boys are both doing well. Growing and busy, busy, busy! It's amazing how many things a kid can have, and still be BORED! We're enjoying our time together this Summer, but we'll all be thankful when school starts up again. We don't have much planned in the way of trips, but we're hoping to get some camping in once football season ends. We're at my parents this weekend, so it's nice to just kick back and enjoy family. Shayn's gone fishing with Grandpa the last few days, so he's learning PATIENCE, which is one he struggles with. :) It's good for them to do that whole male bonding thing, I think they are both enjoying it!
Anyhow, I'm gonna sign off for now. There are so many things I want to do and share, but I will save it for another time...hopefully before another 9 months pass by. Hope this finds everyone happy and well!
