Catching Up Part 2

Part 2 of catching up!

Our family moved houses! Time for a change for this family!  While it was stressful (sick, throwing up ect kids did not help.) we got through it quite well and are happy! Here are a few photos of our new home!

The entry way (keep going in the house or upstairs).

Living room and Dining room.

Master and children's rooms.

Master, down stairs and kids bathrooms.

Garage, back yard and kitchen!

It's a nice little house. We really enjoy it and have great neighbors next door!

I planted some flowers and veggies. Tried my hand at Strawberries but I ended up killing them. Don't ask I have no idea! LOL

Tomatoes

Fushias

 Bush Beans and carrots

I've gotten some tomatoes and bush beans. It's been very fun and neat for the kids to see really how food gets here.

I even has some beautiful succulents. That is until they got smooshed. :( So hopefully soon I can try again. But here they were...

Matt rocks and bought me a Kitchen Aid! Only got to use it once so far and in a future post I'll tell you why. But I love it!

Lilly got a new aquarium with a betta that she named Skittles, some ghost shrimp and two African dwarf frogs. It's pretty neat!

Ok so I think that's enough picture over load for today! Tomorrow I'll introduce catch up part 3!

Catch up Part 1

Once again, I'm terrible about updating this thing.  Facebook makes it way to easy to just upload there and bam you're done. But I still have a blog and I still need to use it. That's why I created one? Right? lol 

So where were we? Oh yes Halloween. Halloween was fun. Thanksgiving for us was mellow since hubby always works. And then Christmas came. We had a pretty blessed Christmas. Minus everyone coming down sick. But hey we survived! Here are a few photos from Christmas!

Kid's met Santa! Which he was a very good Santa! Cedar Hills Mall! Highly recommend it over Washington Square Mall.

Our tree and fireplace. As always looking wonderful!

Kid's made giant gingerbread men (or girls LOL). Lot's of candy was eaten in the process.

Santa stopped by!

And the kids were very happy about their gifts!

Even Boo loved her gift from Santa!

Kids had done amazing for their Christmas card photo earlier in the month:

 

 Even Boo got her photo done. Even if she wasn't too happy about it! Hahaha

Then in February we got just a little bit of snow dumped on us.

We made the best of it and went out and played for a bit. Most of us really liked it!

Ahh, but there was one, one who did not like it one bit!

Our lives after Christmas became even more hectic than normal. But that is ok. We have a foundation of love and can, will and do get through anything thrown at us. 

Until Part 2....

Too long, far too long, once again!

I really do suck at keeping this whole blog thing up to date. I blame how easy it is to access Facebook and just update there. :) I will be updating soon, changing things around ect! So look forward to that!

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!
