Well Here I am!

Well at the urging of my family and friends to start up my own blog...I've finally given in! I am always having to call or text someone to tell them about something crazy that has gone on, something cute one of the kids did, or to relay info on the latest deals I've found! So everyone keeps saying, why don't you just start a blog? They all seem so sure that there are other people out there that would relate...I guess we'll see!

To tell you all a little about me, I am a stay-at-home/work-from-home mom! I have 4 beautifully silly kids (3 girls and 1 boy) and I do the secretarial work and book keeping for my husbands 2 businesses. I was married once before and had 3 kids, divorced, remarried and have one with my husband now. I love to take pictures. Mostly sunsets/sunrises and anything related with nature and the scenery around me. It's forever changing and beautiful. We are constantly on the go and there is never a dull moment in our house! And if there is a dull moment, it's only because the kids are probably all sleeping!

My oldest child is 9 and she's finishing up her 3rd grade year in school. She's my smart, quiet yet sassy, somewhat reserved child! She loves to read but is also entering the age of sleepovers, phone calls and hanging out with friends! I didn't realize there was so much drama in 3rd grade! Friends today and not tomorrow, he said she said! I didn't think this started until atleast middle school! She loves bowling with her dad, she's in a youth league and even bowls state tournaments every year. She is however, starting to not like it because it interfers with her social life! But would you expect anything different from a 9 year old girl?

Then my next child is 6 and she is the life of the household! She would be my 1st trip to the ER to have her chin glued back together, my 2nd trip to the ER from jumping on her bed only to fall off and hit her head on the dresser, driving a little ride-on tractor off of a porch and down 4 cement steps landing face first on the concrete sidewalk, I'm sure you get my drift! She's finishing up her Kindergarten year in school and she's loving it! She's also getting ready to start her first year of flag-football which has us a little nervous. When asked if she would like to play she said, "sure, but what happens if I tackle someone?" Let's just hope that doesn't happen!

Then there's my sweet little boy. He's going to be turning 5 soon! He's finishing up his 2nd year of preschool and getting ready for his kindergarten screening. We had a little concern that he was going to have to repeat one more year of preschool because right before Christmas break his teachers just didn't think that he was ready. He lacks a total interest in school and really thrives for reassurance from others. We worked on alot of different things over the holiday break and he's made a huge turn-around! He never ceases to amaze me (non of them do!) even if he can't always remember to lift the seat when he goes pee! He's going to be starting flag-football with his sister (my 6 year old) so lets just hope she doesn't tackle him!

And last but not least is my baby. She turned 2 in January and just this past week has decided that she doesn't want to wear diapers anymore! Yeah for us! She's went an entire week only having 2 accidents and she's been dry every morning! She's grown so fast and is at that little "sponge age" where she soaks in everything, and I mean EVERYTHING! She recently had tubes put in her ears and I can't believe the difference in her. Within a matter of days she was talking so much more and clear. Sometimes I don't know if that's such a good thing!

My husband and I got married last July and I don't know how I ever lived without him! He is the love of my life and my best friend. He works hard and alot to provide for us and he's just the kind of guy that doesn't know how to slow down and even if he did he wouldn't know what to do with himself! He's always got to be doing something! What I love the most about him though is that we can talk to each other about anything.

So as I'm getting used to this whole new world of blogging please bear with me! I'm not sure what I'm going to write about day after day but I'm sure with 4 kids I can find something!
