Gotta start up somewhere...

Hello Blog! I am so sorry I have been so neglectful. I apologize. I miss you. I have to admit I sign in everyday to read, peek, stock and get inspiration from the blog moms I follow... I swear some of the consistent posters get me through my day. Even ones that I don't even know and they don't know me. I have a few good reasons...

Eric and I have been on the constant search for the right HOME for our family. We have found the neighborhood but not the right house... or actually we have but been outbid several times. But that is ok. We are staying POSITIVE. We have bookmarked every single Realtors website. I think Eric would have been the best agent ever. He has found all our homes and we have arranged to view so many. By the time we move into Redbridge we will have seen half the development... exaggeration!  More on the location later... when we actually have a place to call our new home! We are hopeful that our move could be soon but not want to rush into a place just to get there.. it needs to be right! There is a plan for us. And I know we will find it! I have FAITH!

What else...well...
Washington Football has been in full swing. Lots of fun activities to post about and pictures to share during the homecoming week. We had a bonfire. The kids loved it. Madison & Colton danced up a storm. Love the way 14 month old babies dance. Mads moves her arms & Colt, well he is much more a body mover and head shaker! So cute! So in LOVE! Then last week we played Logan... Eric worked the game. It was so fun for the grandmas to see him in his uniform. {He is so HANDSOME}

I've been working a lot lately too... Starting a few new projects...I actually am really excited our {moms & I} future vision... lots of fun exciting ideas that should be coming to life soon...

hmmm let's see...
We went to DISNEYLAND again! Loved it! I don't know why but I have never posted our Disney pictures. Maybe because I am a crazy person and take way too many... I need to learn Photoshop... I am determined to go to my cousin Brian's house one day soon and just let the kiddos play with I learn. I can not be out of the photoshop world any longer. : )

Tons of Halloween traditions had to be adapted this year... but we did! We baked a ton & made lots of yummy Pumpkin things... I really should start posting our recipes... I have a ton of pics to post about these... hopefully soon...just had to get this first one out!

I have been reading...the 5 love languages of children...Ok the real reason my blog time is gone right? haha....I am reading slowly but so intently. I love the messages and I am trying to implement my new found knowledge instantly. I love the book but more importantly, I love that I am getting a love for reading back. I would always say I didn't have time. We I have decided to MAKE the time. I learned that during my Power Of Moms group.

Another new thing for me. I have only been able to go to one out of two meetings : ( but I read the daily articles and am so inspired. So excited for the future with that group. I look forward to building a stronger relationship with the women in the group that are already my friends. Found out some news about the other half to our leader duo... Selfishly I am sad because I was looking forward to getting closer... : ( Good thing we have our blogs and can still feel connected to each others daily crazies : )

Oh and I had a birthday...30...On my actual birthday we went to the zoo! Mom & Eric threw a surprise birthday for me last Saturday... it was perfect & so fun! I have the best friends! I was not in the mood to plan a party so they decided to plan one for me! I felt so special!

So blog, I did not write all this down as excuses... Just notes as to why there was a lull in postings... Now I can get back into the swing of things. I'll back post about old events and start posting about the day to day. I really need to get better at that... my new goal! I have the power to make that happen!

Happy Wednesday! Can't wait till my kiddies wake up and I can hug and smooch them! They are {our/my} life and the reason why I love being a mom! I can't wait to  post about Ashlyn & Colton and all the funny things they do that make me laugh & make my eyes water daily!

xoxo
