Sooo much to do

Ugh, why are there never enough hours in the day?? Oh yeah, because I procrastinate. I only work 3 days a week and still cannot seem to get everything done. I have a list of things to do tomorrow. So many changes coming for our family. With the hubby in school, Alex changing schools, and trying diligently to keep this budget in order.... I'm exhausted just thinking about it. Have you read "The Total Money Makeover"?? It's very inspiring and overwhelming. I need instant gratification, so I am also in need of constant reassurance why I am doing this.

On a much lighter note... My little princess is growing up way too fast. In the last week she has learned how to throw away trash. I know sounds kind of crazy, but it was so cute the first time. I asked her if she was all done with her cereal bar and she just looked at me. I kept repeating myself and at some point said "all done, it's trash??". She snatched it from my hand so I assumed she wasn't done. 30 seconds later I hear her grunting and go to see what the commotion is about to find her on tip-toes trying to put it in the trash! Now it's her new thing that she loves. Anytime something needs to be thrown away, princess Avery has to do it!

If that wasn't enough, she now also loves to sit on the potty!! If we pass the bathroom she wants to go in and sit down. I really wish she would stop getting so big :(

Lake fun

This past weekend we went to visit my sister and her family at their lake house. Every year they invite all their family and friends over for a crawfish party. It is soooo beautiful and peaceful there. My husband and I are now ready to retire and move out there :) Hopefully it will not be to many more years before we can make this dream a reality!!





Playing Friday night before the party on Saturday

Playing in the playhouse with Lauren

Oh, how she loves to swing


But it makes her really tired :(


Listening to the band

Swimming time

Ayden's bday party

We celebrated Ayden's 6th birthday this past weekend, Toy Story themed, of course. He was sooo excited. We had a bounce house and water slide. All of his cousins came over to play. It was an excellent day!! It is amazing how far this precious boy has come. We are so blessed :)

Avery's 1 year pics

Several weeks ago we met up with Heather to have some pics taken of this beautiful princess for her 1st birthday. Heather always does such a great job, it's hard to pick my favorites. Here are just a few.

Long time....

So much has been going on, time just flies by. Well let's see, since the last post we all got sick over spring break :( We had Avery's first birthday party. I can't believe how fast she is growing! Easter was great. The kids had a blast hunting for eggs. Caleb turned 12, WOW. Teenage years are quickly approaching us. I ran my half marathon! One of the coolest things I've ever done. I also raised $1600 for the leukemia and lymphoma society!! The kids will be out of school in just a few weeks. My very intelligent husband is going to grad school and will be beginning that process this summer. And, my hubby, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and myself are about to start training to run White Rock in December! That's the quick update!! Now on to post some pictures :)
