We have arrived!!

Well folks, we made it and amazingly so did the kids!
They traveled very well considering they were strapped
in car seats for 3 1/2 days. I'll tell you what, I would never
travel with out a DVD system! That thing saved our sanity.
I have lots of pictures to post so stay tuned....if you want to
of course. :)

Here we go!

I really shouldn't even be on the computer right now

but I had to post this little tidbit. Yesterday my sweetie

came home for lunch and informed me that we should 

drive to Utah for spring break which just so happens to 

start on Monday. A little stunned the only thing I could 

say was, "yah, sure!" "Oh and by the way if we leave on

Thursday Evelyn would only miss one day of school"....um

yah, that would be in 2 days!! Insanely enough, we're going 

to do it. So I guess I'm crazy but I'm really excited not so

much about the driving for 32 hours but the other part.

It's going to be great! Hooray for spontaneity! Wish me luck.

Mommy the computer addict

This, apparently, is what my child sees me do all the
day long. The figure on the top is me nestled in my
computer chair. And the happy little lady on the bottom
is none other than my Caitlin-bug. What a budding artist
she is....and kind of mean too!

Most days I tend to be fairly busy. I take Ev to school, clean
(although I don't know why I bother), feed children, talk to
husband, and so on and so forth. And then every once in a
while I have a crazy taste of comprehension. Like just now.
I was looking through some pictures and realized," Good
grief!! I'm married and have four and a half kids!"

Often I feel very overwhelmed with all of the demands of
the day to day stuff, but I've got to say that I'm so blessed.
I look at my children and they are healthy, happy and
crazy and I just don't know know what I would do without
them.

And then I look at my hubby who takes care of me
and puts up with all my eccentric, hormonal, goofiness and
I'm so grateful that I got my claws on him before anyone else
did! I mean he went to Arby's last night because I was sure I
couldn't live without a French Dip sub. What a great guy!

Thanks to all of you that read the ramblings of my less than
exciting life. You're wonderful!
