It's a trend for me!!

Hi!! Okay, so this year seems to have been more dedicated to Facebook!! I am not a picture taking frantic kind of gal...well, I wish I was. My camera has issues right now, but that's what you get for a cheapie! I think I love Facebook for daily interaction, but Blogger for journaling.

So....

What's new?? Football Popwarner has come to an end and it was a fun season!! I am glad to take a break from that schedule though. Jason just informed me that he's filling out the papers to start coaching again.... oh boy.... that means I'll have 4 boys, I mean 5 boys in next year!! I may as well let Amber do cheer leading next year too and I'll for sure be my own "Team mom!!" or "league mom!" Okay, I'm not sure about the cheer leading part, Amber really does enjoy her Ice Skating and Tennis. I'll let the boys stay with football and baseball. Us girls can have a separate event...maybe I'll take up Ice Skating and Tennis too! :)

On a separate note, I can't believe that it's that time of year again for Turkey and gifts!! I know that we will have a great holiday season, our #1 goal is Family Happiness.... (Thurs.) Thanksgiving is planned to be eventful starting with Turkey bowls with our ward friends and another one with the Whiting clan. Then we are spending our Turkey day withe Whiting side at Uncle Mike's home. The weather will be perfect for our outdoor festivities. Then Saturday is planned for Reunion time with my family honoring Great Grandma Florine Estella Ellsworth Julian and Great Grandpa Leon Augustus Julian. (I hope I spelled their names correctly??) A lot of fun fun fun!!! :)
In the mean time, my children are off school Wed. thru Sun. and are already bored as I speak!! Out comes my "To Do" list!! :) lol!!

Happy ThanksGiving Everyone!!! Love to you all!!!

This is Ridiculous!!!

One season to the next!! How time goes around here! Football season, Corey's moved up to Jrs., Keith moves up to PeeWee, and Zach is in flag! It's been a lot of fun and running around! So many things happened over the summer, we went to Greer for a family reunion and had a great time!! Came home in time for school to start. Corey is 12 and on to Jr High!! But we are at a Charter school so it's K-12th grade. I am loving it so far and so do the kids!! That's it for now, I will post sooner than later!! :)

It's April!!!!!!!! Where have I been??

I can't believe it's April already!! We have had soooooo many birthdays and events! Corey is now 12, Keith is now 8, Zachary is now 5 and I am now ?? yea!!
Baseball season is well underway, Corey moved up to "Juniors" division, Keith is a "Rookie", and Zachary is playing T-ball.
We have ben staying busy busy!!!!

love you all!! I'll post more soon. :)

As the year strolls along......

At least that's how it feels right now. The days aren't consistent and time is standing still. As the economy has a downward effect, it's like we are standing here waiting for the end results so we know what direction to take. When will we find that "right" balance?

Today is a beautiful cloudy day and sitting outside has been refreshing, it makes me think about the beauty that Heavenly Father created for us and the trials that lingers within. These trials stem from ourselves, not the creation. Now the time is here more than ever... are you ready? Your resources? What about things you have no control of? ....and I thought I was frugal before?


So, I'm back to work and possibly school. I am nervous, sad, and excited all at once! Nervous about going back to school, sad to not be only at home, and excited to be venturing out into society again!! My work schedule is whenever I choose because it's around my clients, I enjoy doing hair. School will be the trickier schedule, I haven't quite made up my mind as I research a career path, but it's leaning towards Respiratory Therapist.

Do I want to know.....

...what you're thinking??

Only time will tell what will happen next!! Just keep praying for our Presidency!

Opening my personal Blog...

Time to Write!

As I visit everyones up to date Blogs, I need to catch up. My sister, shawnie, came across another mom in need through cjane...blog. It's a tough time for this beautiful family, you can get more details here: http://www.komonews.com/news/28125714.html and http://sccsdecker.blogspot.com/

This mom has yet to see her new little baby that is about four months old now, she has been in the hospital ever since. This story has definately brought tears. I will be praying for the Scott and Carol Decker family.
