We've been busy

Ok, I am going to try to get back on track here.....it has been a rough few weeks. I am going to stay positive and write about the good, funny stuff that has been happening. I finally uploaded my pics. and they are from a month ago, some are super cute and I had to add them in to the randomness.... Ellie, Brayden and Dani snuggling in their new clean room.

B & D

Owen turned 2 in January and these are some pics. from the party.... oh man, and was it a party. Just with family and close friends there were 10 kids seven and under.

All the kids, horrible pic. but I couldn't get all of them in the frame.

Uncle Kelly and Owen and Ally.

Happy Birthday O's!

Goofiness at home. I was talking to my mom in my room (thank god she was able to visit us last week!) and the kids stomped in with my HUGE boots, tutus and panties.

Ellie took a spill that I thought would leave her paralyzed, but she thought it was hilarious, if only I could bend, twist and fall like that. I wouldn't be so sore after a workout.

Brayden Goo, loving my rainbow rain boots. Kalin, I stole these fair and square, but if you want them back (and you'll actually wear them) I will return them to you.

The first thing that comes to mind as I think about the last few weeks are the multiple floods and messes we've had in the bathroom. Why is washing hands and brushing teeth such a difficult feat? I am really afraid that we are going to have water damage to the bathroom floor, and/or serious leakage from our ceiling in the basement. One kid washing hands makes a mess....three kids makes a monsoon..... at least 4-5 times a day. I didn't realize I was going to have to be a bathroom monitor at the age of 31.

I found it very funny tonight as I was listening to the kids play, they were calling each other "sweetie and buddy." "Are you ok Sweetie? Hi Buudy!" I am more relieved than anything, I am so glad that all those names and thoughts that have gone through my brain have actually STAYED in my head these last few weeks. All right, I guess that ends this positive, happy post.... hopefully Kent being out of town all week every week won't last for too much longer, for the sake of all of our lives! :)
