Wow I am so behind on blogging, I say everytime I do this that I will keep it up, I love reading my friends blogs and I wander why I can't keep up with mine. Well we will see how it goes this time and hopefullyvi can get my site updated.
Well this is a fun time of year and I love the holidays and cool weather well we ate getting the holidays but not the cool weather it is warm and we are still running the a/c in November 2 days before Thanksgiving.
I am so thankful for my hubby of 9 years it has been a rollercoaster for sure I am not gonna lie but we love being together. We are very thankful for out kids Matthew and Ashlynn they keep us on our toes for sure. Matty is now 5 and he is a Lot like his daddy. Ashlynn is very mobile and has a sassy attitude already but she is just precious and she loves her big brother. We are so thankful for what God has given us.
So much to be thankfully for and it's sad we only show it this time of year it needs to be shown everyday!!!!!! Well my goal is to post often and I of course say this everytime but I really need to.

A little bit of this and that
I keep saying I am going to get better at blogging only if I am talking to myself, which I think I do a lot. I spend my days with lots of kids and they cant talk yet, they do listen but it is not the same. I always here of people hanging out as families for dinner or going to the park, or those moms who get away for coffee or a pedicure, or even going to MOPS, stuff I would love to do, sometimes I feel like a prisoner of my own home and I should not feel that way. I do love being with my kids and my husband but I need time to just breathe from the everyday life of dirty diapers, snotty noses, dishes, cooking, cleaning and the laundry monster. I want to change things this summer and need to do a little at a time, I dont want our lives to revolve around how much is in checking account, I want to plan ahead and have people over for meals and go to peoples houses for meals, have adult conversation and pop the bubble that we seem to be in.
I am blessed to have 2 wonderful kids Matthew is 4 and Ashlynn 10 weeks and they are both such cuties. Matthew just finished up preschool and soccer and has a busy summer planned with gymnastics, Swim lessons, VBS, Pre school fun Days at Church, hope to keep the little guy busy.
Ashlynn well she just gets to be a sweet girl and tag along for all the fun with big brother.
Brandon well works all the time and I wish he did not have to work so much because when he comes home he does not want to do anything and of course Matty feels left out and my stress level seems to go up more because extra set of hands is here just no help, I should not get upset but I do work to just at home and I have very tiring days as well.
We have dinner as a family maybe twice a week and breakfast on Saturday morning if hubby is off so we dont sit down much as a family and I want more of that. I wish we always had breakfast together and dinners I think things would be more enjoyable.
Well I vented a little, I hate feeling alone and want to build more friendships and be involved in stuff, I wish we had a MOPS for the working moms and had a group that meets in the evening.
Well I better get started on dinner and maybe just maybe I can figure this blog thing out better and add pictures and things like that and maybe keep and update of our family.
Happy Memorial Day and thank you to all that serve and have served to save our Country God Bless you all!!!!!

A New Year 2010
Wow, Happy New Year to all!!!!!
I am shoked that it is already here, I have set a few New year Resolutions, 1. get better at remembering to send Birthday,Anniversary Cards etc... 2. Loose 35-40lbs by summer 3.Survive these last 9 weeks of pregnancy with gestational diabetes, not very happy about that and the pricking of my finger.
4. Get better at blogging (I say this all the time)
We had a fantastic Christmas (4 of them actually) had Brandons family in town staying with us it was great. My mother in law did all our laundry one week which was a huge help to me. She kept dishes done which was great now if only I can do the same to keep things done....
Matty got so much stuff for Christmas, it is crazy and to think this next Christmas we will have 2 kiddos getting things,yikes.....
I love traditions, growing up my family on Christmas morning would have cinnamon rolls,orange danish rolls,bacon and eggs and while that cooked we would play with our Santa gifts it was awesome, we have that tradition still with Matty.
Since our family has grown with the extended family and we dont have a money tree in our backyard it has been tough each year for Christmas. With my family we just have to buy a gift for Jordynn my neice then we buy a stocking stuffer for everyone else which is still 9 people but makes it fun. This year my mom has changed it up a bit which still I think is going to be lots of fun, we will draw around Thanksgiving a item of clothing and whatever item you get you will buy everyone that item, lets say i have socks, but at Christmas when we all open everything we will have a complete outfit, very cool idea and I think it will be lots of fun....
Now hubby's side wow it is big and just keeps getting bigger, it is 15 people we buy for and it just seems to get harder every year budget wise and the age that everyone is getting. I have lots ideas that would make it easier on everyone, hubby likes the ideas to but says it will probably never happen thats ok, I am going to try a new plan this year we will see if it works, shooping those great deals through out the year, because on top of Christmas we also have Birthdays 27 to be exact so really have to get smart his year because it seems like everything always increases but our income. Well I have gone on and on and but probably cause I feel like I am talking to myself I dont know if anyone even reads this,lol.....
Have a great week I am sure I will be back and hopefully sooner that is one of my 2010 Resalutions....
