What's going on?

Well, this is pretty good. I am going to blog twice in one month! Pretty good for me! Today I am watching Tommy. Jenny had Tucker last week (when I blogged last), and I am watching Tommy today. We traded so we could get caught up on a few things around our houses. Tucker, Tommy and Nolan were all alseep for a little while at the same time. Tucker is now up, and keeping him quiet is very difficult! He is a very energetic little boy! Tommy is asleep on the couch in the living room, so I had the opportunity to catch up a little bit on my friend's blogs and blog myself!

I am looking forward to this weekend. M&Ms retreat at Anita's. I think it will be a lot of fun. I am starting to round things up a little bit. It should be a really good time. We are talking about taking care of yourself as a woman, wife and mother (spiritually, emotionally and physically). I am curious to see how much sleeping goes on. I am really looking forward to it.

It doesn't seem like there is a whole lot going on for us right now, but we stay busy anyway. Sheldon is leading the Financial Peace University class at our church starting next Wednesday and then the church volleyball league is starting and I am planning to play this year.

Well, that's about it for now.

CHRISTMAS!!!

You remember I said this was going to be quick, right?. Well here we go. Of course we put up the tree and Tucker helped with that. It was really neat watching him choose where to put the ornaments. He did hang a few branches with 2 or 3 ornaments, but I left them there. He put them there on purpose and I thought it looked great! We had lots of family gatherings with Christmas and the boys got tons and tons of stuff. The eldest grandchildren (on the my side of the family) got ridable jungle animals. They thought they were pretty cool. I caught a few picture of the boys together that turned out really cute. They don't know what to do without each other. OH, and Nolan rolled over for the first time on January 3rd! Hmmm. I think that is about it. I better get to cleaning! Now that was a quick update!



Busy! Busy!

We have been staying busy with lots of activities. With the holidays and things we were able to see lots of family and spend time doing some fun things with the kids. I decided it would be fun to make sugar cookies as a family. It wasn't quite as fun as you would think with Tucker wanting to just eat the cookie dough, but it was something I will remember! Nolan watched, but he got in on the pictures. Sheldon was taking all of the pictures, but he was helping with the cookies too.



Lots of stuff to Update!

Well, I haven't blogged for quite sometime and I have heard that some of you noticed. My friend Jenny said I could bring Tucker over today, so I could get some more stuff done around the house. I am doing ok keeping up with my normal day to day stuff, but I never seem to get to any of the deeper cleaning and organizing stuff, so hopefully I will get some of that done today. Which means this update is going to be a quick one!

Where do we start. Most of you know I lost my grandmother in November, the week before Thanksgiving. (My mom's mom.) She was ready to go and my grandpa is doing well since. Because of the timing of her furneral and things, I was able to get together with my 3 sibilings and their families. My brother lives close to my parents, but my sisters live in Indiana, so my sister's and their families were at my mom and dad's for almost a whole week and we stayed too. That was really nice to get to spend so much time with them. Sheldon had to work, but he drove from there the day or two he worked. This is a picture of my mom and dad and their 6 grandchildren. Oh, and there is another one on the way. We found out that my sister is expecting this summer. That will be her number 2. (If you are counting, that makes 7 grandchildren and Tucker is the oldest at just over 2!)
