It's Been A Long Time....

I can't believe it has almost been a year since my last post. How time flies when your just living life one day at a time. Today I am home with two sick kids and babysitting my niece. Yes, since it is my day off, I should be cleaning my house, but, I have to admit that I kind of miss the blogging world. Since I have not been blogging myself, I have stopped reading everyone else's blogs too. I feel that I am somehow more disconnected from the events in my friends lives. So, today I will not scrub my bathroom floors or wipe the finger prints and toothpaste from the mirrors. I will blog!

The new year started off just as any. Cold dreary and yuck. I hate January. Emma had her tonsils out and tubes put in her ears. She has done so well since having her tonsils out. I am so glad we decided to have that done.






Little Zoe decided to take up Jr. Jazz with her best friend, Heather. They had so much fun together. Zoe couldn't wait to sign up for it again this year. We just turned in her registration papers last week and I am already sick of her asking, "When is basketball going to start." i think it is so cute that she loves dance so much and can love basketball so much too.





February was great. Evie called me up one day at work and said "Do you want to go to San Diego?" A few hours later we were on a plane to Sunny San Diego!! We were there for four days. It was a great spur of the moment trip. I loved every moment of it. For some reason I have no pictures of that trip.

March is always great. Zoe and Sophie both have birthday's in March. It is starting to look more like spring, and this year we decided to put our house up for sale in March! We knew it may take a while to sell, but, it was time. We had out grown our little house years ago, and we were tired of living on top of one another. We were reluctant for one reason, our fantastic neighbors, The Taylor's!! They were the best neighbors that anybody could ever ask for, and we did not want to leave them. They have been there for us for years. How would we ever get along without them?

Our house was only on the market for 1 month before we sold it to a nice couple with one little girl. This house will give them plenty of room to grow, and now they will have the chance to have the best neighbors in the world!

April gave us Easter. I love Easter. I think mostly because I get to buy the girls all new spring dresses. April was also such a busy month. Not only was I busy packing up my house, but also packing up my office. My work office was finally finished and ready to be moved in to. Moving a medical practice is quite a job, but, I have the best staff in the world, and we did it in ONE day!! Girls rule!

May/June was just as crazy. We moved out of our house and into Eve and Kevin's 5th wheel that is parked on the side of their house. This was meant to be a 5 day arrangement, but, ended up being a 24 day arrangement! It took a lot longer to close on our house than it was supposed too. We are so thankful to have such good friends to let us mooch off of them for so long. I am happy to say that they still like us. I don't have any pictures of my new house yet. I will take some soon.

July was the same as always. My birthday followed by Tony's birthday, followed by his mom's birthday. I remember eating hot dogs on the 24th of July. We went to Lava with our friends Justin and Julie. That was fun, I had never been there before. Maybe this was the starting of a new tradition.

My kids started their new school at the end of July. They only got a 3 week summer. Zoe started 5th grade, Sophie 2nd grade and Connor and Emma started kindergarten. Sophie is the only one who is still having a hard time adjusting. She wants to go back to her old school.

August was memorable because my beautiful baby niece, Taylyn, was born on the 14th. She weighed 6lbs and 3 ounces. And was 18 inches long. I love her so much. I get to babysit her every Wednesday. She is better than having my own little baby. When I am done snuggling and spoiling her all day, I send her home with her mommy.

September- Pearl Jam!

October-Steven finally got married...more to come on that.

What a crazy year! Why does time have to go by so fast? And now it is already November again. Wow.
