Well...what is new??
Adeline is 6. School has started - first grade. She can tie her own shoes. She can read and loves school. She is obsessed with peanut butter - to the point that we only let her have it at one meal a day. Seriously....peanut butter to Adeline is like pizza to Kurt. She is playing soccer this fall and going to the Y in Farmington for tumbling. She can do a 1-handed cartwheel and is flexible like no other. Getting close to doing a back bend by herself. She loves to ride the 4-wheeler with Daddy and prefers to go FAST!
Garrett is almost 3. Just ask him, he'll tell you...."my birthday coming up...october 5". He'll order his own meal at a restaurant...."me want this" or "me want chicken nuggets, apples and chocolate milk". He wears big boy underwear - day AND night. He loves his blankie and monkey at bedtime. He loves to ride the 4-wheeler with Daddy but prefers to go s-l-o-w!
Kurt and I have been married 9 years! WOW, time flies when you're having fun, and jobs, kids, house, etc!! We love it and wouldn't change a thing!
Here's the gang!

"Get Caught Up"
Why is it so hard to "catch up"??
Really, it never happens. We all muddle along attempting to keep our heads above water and then bam something happens and everything is upside down again. This is life, right.
Our upside down has been Mom out of commission Tuesday with the flu and Dad now out of commission Wednesday and still through tonight (though getting a little better). Of course, the rest of the school drop off, work, pick-up, soccer game, school open house, dinner, homework, baths, stories, garbage night stuff still doesn't end which I might add are really the fun parts (well work is most of the time).
So back to why is it so hard to "catch up"? Take this blog for instance....I always feel so guilty that I don't get current posts up of our recent activities with photos to boot. I think we (ok I, Mom) would post more if I just spent 15 minutes figuring out how to post via my blackberry. Though if it involves texting, no dice. Mom's work smartphone doesn't have that glorious function of texting aka work won't pay for it. Anywho....facebook is so much easier though more difficult to put out there stories to journal your family's life. But really, if we didn't have either wouldn't that be simplier too?
I just hope and pray that one day this will get easier. I am reminded that likely that's not the case as they get older and are more involved but we'll take it as it comes.
