Holy Moly... Finally... an update!

Now seriously... I have fallen off the blogging train... in a major way. But it is November... the month to celebrate all that I am Thankful for! I hope to blog more than once this month, but it's very possible that it won't happen. So here is a much needed family update... the family that I love so very much! The family that I am VERY thankful for!
We were able to enjoy Disney on Ice thanks to my sister and her free hook-up!
Everyone had a great time!

Oh yes... Halloween has come and gone... and here are some pictures to prove it!
I happen to think my kiddos are pretty creative... and yes... those are Justin's sweet hands. It broke my heart to toss that pumpkin in the trash!

April... also known as my twin! She is loving 6th grade... An honor roll student! She is the art lover of the family! She has so much talent... and she doesn't get that from me! She is a wonderful daughter, sister, cousin, friend... and baby-sitter!

Taylee... She is doing great in 3rd grade! Loves learning cursive and multiplication. She is a great reader and also an Honor Roll student! She is a wonderful sister and can play "big" with April, and "little" with the younger two. We love that about her!

Hilarious Brynn... She always keeps us laughing. She's so quick to tell us, "No" when we ask her to do something, then quickly says, "Remember... it's opposite day" when she knows we aren't kidding around! She is doing so well in Kindergarten and loves that she can read! Honor Roll student here too! Justin... adores her! Maybe it's because she plays with the same toys that he enjoys playing with!

Justin... who happens to be ALL boy! As you can see... we find him in the most dangerous places... and his toys in the most random places! It doesn't seem possible that he is 2 1/2... and already attending pre-school (with out me) once a week! He is walking so well... and even trying to run. He can sign more than we can keep up with. We need to brush up on our signing skills to keep up with him! His new trick... is to answer "no" by shaking his head.... and we LOVE it!





There you have it... a much needed update. Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas... and Happy New Year! ... because heaven knows when I'll get back on this thing again! ;)

What a great post! I love the update! Sometimes it is just easier to put a quick update on FB huh, but you can't get away with that too often. How is Justin already 2 1/2?

It's so great to see what your family has been up to and those adorable children of yours! Justin is growing up so fast and it makes me a little sad because I know we're right behind ya. Wow, Justin does know how to find the best spots for adventure.
