Has summer really come and gone?

Why yes, summer has come and gone! Who knew!  What did we do this summer?  Honestly, it flew by so fast and we were so busy I have no idea! 0_0 But I do know we had a couple of trips to the Oregon coast and we had a blast!

I also started fostering cats!  Here are just two of my past fosters....

It has been a great experience for my family and I.  Especially my children in teaching them to help animals out.  

We also got another bearded dragon, Lyzark. So we now have Kirra and Lyzark.  Today I was finally able to confirm that Lyzark was in fact a male!  If not his named would have changed to Lizzy.  But luckily he gets to keep his name! ;)

Summer was fun and it went by way too fast!  In fact Lilly is now in first grade!

And Ben, he is in Kindergarten!

Both did awesome with their school photos! ;)

(These are scanned, the actual photos look amazing!).

They both did a fundraiser for school (which helped the school raise over $6,500!  Which $500 that, my children raised alone!) and earned prizes and Lilly gets to do the Limo Lunch ride too!

Hmm, I guess that catches you up!  Here soon, I'll post about our Halloween adventures!

Until then, Stay Sane!

This past week!

Hello Friends and Family!

See I told you I'd be better at updating this thing! ;)  We've had a pretty uneventful week.  Lilly graduates from Kindergarten on Wed, June 12th at 9:30am.  We'd love to see you there to help Lilly celebrate!!

Today I took my fostering class at The Oregon Humane Society.  Took maybe and hour and now I just need to wait for my badge (which should be this Tues/Wed) and I can start fostering animals!  And they gave a great treat of letting us hold three week old kittens!

Here are a few photos from this past week.

So we are doing well!  The kids got to have a sleep over (see pic above) in their brothers room to watch a movie each night during the weekend.  They really enjoyed that!

Until next time....

Well I've been slacking!

So it's been a couple of years since updating.  Yes I suck, but I'm going to make more of an effort to keep this blog updated!

Well a lot has happened since I've last updated.  We had our fourth child, Justin James Gaffney aka JJ.  He was born April 30th, 2012.  He is a year old now, crawling and on the verge of walking. He was our surprise but I couldn't imagine our lives with out him.  He's my baby and I really wish he would slow down a bit!

Benjamin graduated preschool just recently.  He is doing really well with his speech!  Just a sweet boy!

Lillianna is getting ready to graduate Kindergarten!  She has also lost some teeth and got her ears pierced!

Emmelyn is talking more and more everyday!  She is our little ham!  She is still pretty short! lol She is in a toddler bed now!

We've added some new family members to our home.  We have two cats, Ra and Opi!  They are such sweet and great cats!

We also got a bearded dragon, Kirra. She is cute and sweet. Still getting use to being held though!

We also have six regular hermit crabs and are waiting on two strawberry hermit crabs. :)

This coming Sunday (June 2) I'll be taking a class to become a foster home for the Oregon Humane Society.  I'm so excited to be able to help some local animals.

Matt and I are doing well.  Matts still working for Intel.  Me I'm still enjoying being a SAHM.  Kids are keeping us pretty busy!  I'm having fun raising crickets and meal worms with my neighbor Nicole!  It's a pretty cool process! 

I'm also a Independent Distributor for Advocare!  It's a great product to help you drop the weight and learn to eat healthy!  Check out my website here!

I promise I'll update this more often then every two years! ;)

Here are a few videos! Hope you enjoy them!
