I am still Alive....(For the 2 people who may read this)

So I start off this post by saying that I am still around and that I have not forgotten about my blog. In fact I am always thinking that I need to update, but time always gets away from me. These last few months have been so busy. I would find myself saying, "if I can just get through this week" or even "just get through this day" things will calm down. Between living at my parents house, sick kids, callings, and finishing our house, and finally moving, I have had little time to do anything else. I find I have more time now. I have 1 hour and 45 minuets back everyday now that I don't drive the kids to school. They now ride the bus. Oh how I love the bus! The picture above was taken in the hotel we stayed in in SF a couple of weeks ago. We needed to make a very short notice trip for Jacob. He was having some problems going to the bathroom, and had had a few bladder infections. There are no doctors to treat him here, so we were sent down to see his dr. in SF. That was a very stressful trip. I needed to find places for Taryn and Lauren to go, and my FIL stepped right in and took care of them. They even played hookie one day to go turkey hunting. The girls had so much fun they were disappointed when I came back. Even Lauren who hates when I not home at night.

A lot of work needs to be done on the house, but it is livable, if not a little small right now. Oh well, we will survive.

Some other things we have done in last few months are:

*FHE every Monday night since Jan. That is the longest stretch we have done. It helps we are held accountable because we do it with my dad and brother, and my SIL.

*Jacobs first primary activity. I did have to go. Sunbeams must have a parent there.

*Bree is moving all over the place. I kept her off the floor to try and keep her from crawling for as long as possible. Is that bad? After one week, she got up the step in the sunken living room. oh well.

*I mowed my first lawn. Nuff said.

*School is almost out, and I have signed the girls up for volleyball camp.

*Planning 2 birthday parties. I can't believe Taryn will be 12! And going to girls camp.

Now I know just looking at the few things I have written here might not seem like I have been so busy, but I do play volleyball 2x a week, take my mom to PT 2x a week, and at least one of my kids have dr. appointments a few times a month.
So that is all my scatter brain can think of right now. Maybe if I don't wait so long in between posts, they will seem more put together.
