Ella's favorite thing to do now, color! And she slept in braids last night... Hence the curly-crimpy hair!

New boots for the first snow

alrighty now...

so i think that i have my "phone blogging" working! i hope that it's really going to work, because i really do miss blogging. the kids are changing so much, we have lots going on, and i miss having a few minutes to remember it all! so, here is to hoping that the blogging will start up again! happy 2010! cannot wait to see what is happening this year!

some new year's resolutions for me...

- drink one glass of wine a day-- at least one, no more than 2 :)
- lose some weight... gracie and i both
- learn how to do some redecorating/remodeling around the house

last year was so hectic, traumatic, exciting, and fun that i really hated to miss out on blogging about most, if not all of it! i love that we have really put down some roots around the area, we have real friends, our kids are in school, i've had the same audits for three years now... it is amazing how much times have changed!

i promise to keep blogging, and sending at least one picture a day to the blog-- that way we can go through all this together! yeah!!!! blogging is back!

This picture cracks me up!!!!

new year 11 days in...

is it possible for me to get this blog back up and running again???? i think about it all the time, i have tried several times to get it back on track... but it always gets lost in the shuffle of my day.
so i am going to try to start some mobile blogging-- really hope that helps me, since getting on the computer is much more difficult than picking up my phone! so give me a few minutes and lets see what i can get done!

booo hooo hooo

oh my blog has been so forgotten about! it makes me so sad to look back and see how much i haven't posted about!

we had a busy busy summer and so much has been going on and happening that it really makes my head spin.

my computer is going extra-special slow these days and it has taken soo much time that i end up getting frustrated and walking away from the whole thing.

and... i have been facebooking... it's addictive and i am starting to not like it. this is much better, story telling, remembering the cute things that have gone on... oh, i miss those with facebook. and because i don't get to catch up with everyone on a daily basis... i don't get to tell you about them all.

our kids are growing up so fast that it's scary. ella just turned 4! four, four! i cannot wrap my head around that at all! it's scary! fisher is crazy as usual, he moves 100 times faster than i ever could. he gets himself into such crazy situations...

i am really wanting to do better with my blogging... i really need a new computer... but really that just ain't in the picture right now. the kids are now going to school two days a week, and they LOVE it! and so do i! it's actually been really nice seeing how much they have learned in such a short amount of time.

we really keep busy for kids not being in "real school" and not playing "real sports" and with "real social lives"... but in our preschool world... we are crazy busy!

ella started soccer this year. it is a riot! 3, 4, & 5 year olds (we are actually having a banquet tomorrow) they had a pretty rough season, but each player really had a great time... ella scored several goals and most of them were for the other team! but really, lots of fun (3 days a week) and fisher will play next year... he really wanted to this year, and was as big as a few players, but really- he needs a year!

here are a few of the pictures to catch you up to speed!





















our trip to alabama












**** this was our first trip without the kids... EVER **** chris' parents offered to keep the kids for the weekend that we were going, and it worked out beautifully! we had a great time with the best people that we have ever met! i loved getting away with just chris, riding in a car without answering TONS of questions, or getting kicked, hit, flying objects, etc! it was a totally wonderful weekend!


**** AND TO DEBRA... THIS IS ALL FOR YOU! I DON'T EVEN GET TO CHECK MY EMAIL ANYMORE! I MISSED YOU GUYS LAST TRIP INTO ROANOKE, BUT PLEASE KNOW, THERE IS AN OPEN INVITE FOR YOU ANY WEEKEND! OR WEEK DAY FOR THAT MATTER! ****
