Blogger Withdrawl

Okay, I've finally found 5 minutes, but I probably only have 5 minutes. So much has happened in the last few weeks and I just haven't gotten around to updating my blog. So, here goes:


My littlest guy is now 4 months old. Hard to believe, but Ryan is still madly in love with his little brother.
Happy 34th Birthday, sweetheart! I love you so much & am so thankful to have you in my life! I think Ryan was more excited about the Wii that I bought than Jeff was, but I had to find a reason not to give it to Ryan so that we could still take it away when we needed to.

Easter was full of about one too many Easter Hunts. The kids all had a great time, but when it was all over I made Jeff take all the candy to the workshop so that I wouldn't eat all the Peanut Butter Cup Eggs. Lots of fun, but busy, busy, busy!



























Thanks to Britta (and her family) we were able to go to the Jazz game the other night. We had a great time eating in the VIP Lounge, sitting on the court, and getting treats in the lounge at half-time. We had a great time seeing how the "other half" lives life! Thanks for taking us with you Britta & Craig.


In a strange and unusual twist of fate, we've now ended up with Jeff's kids full time!!!

You know, we've been praying for this for years, but now I'm beginning to see that sometimes you do get what you pray for, so you'd better be ready. What a treat to get five ready for bed before 8pm (I'm not really a mom after 8) and to get four ready for school by 8am. A little, no a lot, overwhelming. How do you gals do it that have 4-5 kids and still have a little time for yourself? Okay, I'll quit being selfish...I'll probably have to let go of the "having time for myself" thing for a while.

Congrats on finally getting the kids! I'm sure it is overwhelming & a lot of work, but I know you have been waiting for this for a while! And I can't believe your little guy is already 4 months...he's getting so big!! =)

What a wonderful person you are to take on the kids! What a blessing for them to have you! I just make sure and get the kids to bed by 8 also and that's the only time I get to myself. It's tough but like you I love it and wouldn't have it any other way.
