The Sunday Morning Post....

Just a few pictures....
to keep you up to date....
on the daily changes that occur in my children....
Can you stand the cuteness? 
I need more time with them!  (Do we ever have enough time with our kids?  Ashley only has 2 more years at home ... then off to college.  Yikes!)
Seriously?
What is up with the funky-lopsided beanie?
I love my family!

Oh Where Does the Time Go?


Wow...Just a quick update, then some photos.  (Because I know that is the only reason you stop by!)

Back in October, Tim and I began our adventure as business owners.  We purchased a Mr. Rooter franchise, and jumped right in.  Please remember that I was an Education major in college.  Business, finance, accounting, taxes, reconciling,...NONE of this was anywhere near the buildings that I attended classes in.  Reading, Education, and English literature were my focuses.  I didn't know the first thing about running a business.  I found out quickly that I needed to hire someone to help me and show me the ropes.  I finally (last week) found the best CSR in the world.  She TELLS me what to do, and how to do it.  She will soon be running my office, and I'm so glad she is here.  (Thanks Michelle for saving my family!)

So, while learning how to be a working mom (and not adjusting well to it), life literally ran by me!  I can't believe that it is May!  And the END of May at that!

January - the twins turned 2.  I posted about that - you can read about it in the older posts area...

February - Soccer was in full swing....The girl's not only made it to the state championships, but they WON!  Ashley has another letter to put on her jacket, and a championship ring to wear.  It is very cool!  (Pictures at a later time on the jacket/ring thing.)
The twins started sleeping in big boy beds. 

March - Track season!  Hmmm....a lot of hurry up and wait. 

April - Tyler turned 4!  He is getting so big.  We celebrated with a blue birthday cake at one of Ashley's soccer tournaments. 

May - Ashley turned 16!  Holy cow.  Where did my baby girl go?  She's all grown up, dating, going to formal dances, driving, working, etc.  Crazy how little attention we pay to the little things while our children are growing, and then when they get big...we forget.  I vow to pay more attention to the little things with the boys....
The twins decided they don't like their beds (mine is better), but when they get the boot out of my bed they head to the floor...
Tim turned..@!.. He is working more actively in the Mr. Rooter business.  We started running van #4!  Hurray!  We are truly blessed!

Check out a few new photos...


(I still haven't  figured out the new Blogger photo adder thing.  It's not new anymore...I know.  Sad me.)

It's Wednesday Night...

and I should be....
  • closing out the invoices that my secretary submitted today (and yesterday!)...
  • doing payroll...those guys are going to want checks in the morning...
  • getting ready for bed...
  • running (didn't get that done this morning)...
  • putting Isaiah to bed...again...for the 24th time!

NOT -
  • playing with a playlist that I just figured out how to add to my blog....
  • wondering why my May calendar looks a few dozen pens have a mind of their own and scribbled notes all over...
  • looking at June and thinking, "What the heck?  I'm not there yet and already it looks like my pens have taken over!"...
  • contemplating whether I should check my FaceBook page...
  • seriously considering getting my picture hard drive out and finding pictures for Morgan (her birthday is next week!)...
  • trying to find my usb cords for my phone to upload songs because I need to change my ringtone...
  • playing on my blog that I haven't seen in three months...
I'm almost back girls! 
I have news...
I have photos...
I almost have a life, again. 
Thanks to Michelle for taking over in our office. 
That office which is gloriously out of my house! 
Whoo Whoo!
