This Crazy life I live is that of a busy mom..
So please accept my apology for not posting a new blog in so long.
The last time I posted was the middle of January...and now it's almost May..
Crazy how time flies.
Since the last time I posted some pretty awesome stuff has happened to our family.
Emmit is now three and Gracie is two ;(
(excuse me while I bawl my eyes out)
We had a big combo party for them and it turned out awesome
We paid off my truck :) so now it's ours free and clear.
It's our first financed vehicle and the first vehicle we owned the wasn't over 15years old.
So this is pretty exciting news for us lol.
We also bought another vehicle :D which let me tell you has been a Godsend the last couple months.
Everyone this is Beauty ;) our newest baby...
Isn't she a beauty
Get it lol
Okay enough with the jokes
We also bought another household appliance
(our second such purchase)
make fun if you must but these are pretty damn amazing things for us lol
We bought a washer and dryer :)
And it's a super nice brand new samsung set
WE LOVE IT
We also made multiple trips to Western Wa since the beginning of the year
and we have two more scheduled in June
That's pretty awesome for us as well to have the finances to do these things :)
We have been able to see family and friends from over there again and it's been awesome
On our First trip we took the kids to Snoqualmie falls
And we got to see a lot of people we love
Here is just one shot of some of the people we love
The Benson and Baxter Bunches
We did a HUGE family trip to the Woodland park zoo a couple months ago :)
A shot of the kids from our zoo trip <3
I love these kiddos more then words can say
(note this is missing Aria and my niece Panda who was also there)
We celebrated Devons birthday with our first family bowling night
Gracie is potty trained..there are accidents of course
but she only wears a pull up to bed
Cause mommy doesn't want to wash her bedding all the time lol
but most mornings she wakes up dry and goes straight to the potty
YAY for one baby in Diapers lol
And speaking of baby...
She's not so little anymore ;(
seriously these kids need to quit growing on me
Say hi to Aria who is now 8months old :(
She's crawling and laughing and plays hard with her best friend...
Gracie
Big Diva has created a little Diva and suprisingly she gives into her all the time
We celebrated a nice Easter with Grandpa here at the house and enjoyed a nice quiet dinner.
And then we jumped right into the chaos of our family busy season
Three kids in Soccer with different practice times
oh and did I mention we are coaching Jaydons team..
Yeah no one else would step up :P but it's been fun
And Cherry Sold her little tooshie off for cookie sales.. 604boxes!!!
I am pretty damn proud of her..
But of course cookie season overlaps with soccer season so that was fun to juggle
(remember I said that having that second vehicle was a god send..yeah there ya go)
Also Devon's new schedule is such a blessing..in fact his Job is in general.
Then cookie season was finally over but we still have regulart GS meetings.
Three different soccer practice times and games.
Oh and Jaydons therapy.
Not to mention life in general lol.
And now it's tball season and soccer season isn't over.
Tball practice started this week..Soccer isn't over until last weekend of May...
I know I am insane...it's okay to say it.
We are also working on a spring project here at the house on top of our crazy schedule.
So that's been fun lol
I will be posting photos and blogging about it once we get the first part done.
So if everyone was wondering what we've up to..
There you have it in a nut shell...
Oh I forgot we also survived a severe stomach bug that hit everyone in the house except Gracie..
Sending 3 of the kids to the ER and causing Jaydon to have a breakthrough sezuire...
And Devon and I are discussing when we want to try again for baby Benson number 7...
I have a doc appointment end of July to check in with my doctor and get the okay to try....
So stay tuned on that front....
Baby Benson number 7... coming 2016
That's all for now folks
