Now that we have our blog back I will try, and I do stress the word, "TRY" to keep this updated maybe once a week. Seems that life is crazy right now with an 18 month old, an almost 3 year old and another baby on the way. Life just seems to be zooming by. We just spend a whirlwind weekend with Matt's parents, Marc and Ginger and their kids over by Lake Palestine in Texas. Wish we could have stayed longer because we spent more time in the car than we spent there with the family since Matt had to be back here to work at 7 this morning. Maybe next time we'll be able to stay longer.

We are now in Lubbock, well, technically Wolfforth, Texas and have been for about 6 months. The heat is crazy, the rain and windstorms even worse, but being here with Matt's family sure helps.

Hailey will turn three next month. I can't hardly believe it. To help celebrate we're going to travel to Washington to visit some of my family, go to the beach (Hailey's so excited!! She loves the let the waves chase after her) and after we return from there we're heading over by Dallas for a Wiggles show. Crazy, huh? The kids will love it, and we might have a little fun as well. Hailey loves her nursery class, spends her time reading and doing puzzles, etc. and is really enjoying her gymnastics class she goes to once a week.

Sarah, poor girl, has had one thing after another this summer. She's gotten 7 or 8 teeth since we moved here, she broke her leg as a result of a big folding table falling on her, then she got the chicken pox and now she has a nasty cold and has to learn to share a bedroom with her older sister. We're trying to get them to sleep upstairs so that we can use the other downstairs bedroom for the baby once she comes.

Yes, another girl. We were both a little relieved. While we would have loved having a boy, after having two girls we are prepared for whatever we might need for a girl.

This is turning into a novel, so I'll end for tonight. Maybe later in the week I can get some new pictures posted since the last ones on here are a little dated :)

I don't really like doing these little survey things, but thanks to the friend who sent it we now have the web address for our blog again. Sad, but true, it's been so long since we updated this blog, and we've moved and gotten a different computer, so we lost our old info and it took something like this to get us to keep up on things. Maybe n ow we'll be a little better about updating this thing.


Ok, this is the forward/questionnaire thing one of our friends sent us. So, here goes.

"The Moaning Meme"

5 people who will be annoyed you tagged them:

I don't think many of our friends have blogs besides Sami and Cameron and the others would be annoyed or wouldn't respond if we did send this to them. So, I guess I'll just answer the questions.

4 things that should go into room 101 and be removed from the face of the earth:
*Cameron suggested the person who started this blog meme thing. I would have to agree with that. *Pesky Texan huge bugs that keep invading my house. I sure miss Idaho. *Whatever it is that makes toddlers/preschoolers scream and make me want to pull my hair out. *The home warranty people who aren't exactly doing their job. Maybe they're just hoping that if they wait long enough our warranty will expire and we'll have to fix the problems ourselves.

3 things people do that make you want to shake them violently:
*Nothing makes me really want to be that violent, but it drives me crazy when people won't let me onto the freeway. Seems everyone is in such a hurry that the southern hospitality goes out the window once they close the car door. *When people don't follow through with what they say they'll do. *The whole screaming toddler thing again....I sure hope it's just a phase.

1 thing the above answers tell you about yourself. *I must be getting a little crochety in my old age.

RULES
1. Link to the original meme at freelancecynic.com so people know what it's all about! (And so they know where to send the hate e-mail.)
2. Be as honest as possible, this is about letting people get to know the real you!
3. Try not to insult anyone - unless they really deserve.
4. Post these rules at the end of every meme!
