SPRING BREAK!!!

I really don't mean to go this long between blogs. If only I had an assistant to take care of all my other responsibilities....I would have more time to do what I WANT to do! :)
No really, just have lots going on like everyone else. Taylor is on spring break but, I don't close my daycare during that time so the poor kid doesn't get to to anything too exciting. She will probably live. She has a huge science project due soon so she is working on that. She got straight A's on her report card again! LOVE that kid. She works hard and it pays off for her. We had to go buy her new jeans for the 3rd time since August though! She is growing like a weed! Only 11 years old and wear's a woman's size 8.5 shoe too! Come on WNBA!!
Kayla is doing great! She is a busy girl! Quite the imagination and you never know what will come out of her mouth! She cracks us up. She is going to have to start a part time preschool in the fall. I can teach her everything during daycare but, I really want her to get out and experience a little bit of direction/discipline/interaction with other adults and new kids! I don't want to keep her home until Kindergarten and then send her off on her own! I cannot believe she'll be 4 in June. Exciting and heart breaking at the same time!
Chris and I are going to celebrate our 6th anniversary in May! Hard to believe that too!! We are getting things all geared up and prepped for all of our summer camping trips. We LOVE camping and if it wasn't for work.....we could go for a whole month and be just fine in the trailer. It's so nice to get away from it all for a few days, even just a weekend! Makes you slow down and spend time together. So important! :)
Well, again....not much else to talk about. No news is good news!!
I hope you all enjoyed you Easter with your families!!
Happy Spring!!

Well, would you look at this!!?? I am blogging! I finally found the login information! Yeah!
It certainly is not FALL anymore! I cannot believe I have not been on here in months. That's just irresponsible! Let's see if we can't do better!
Life around here has been pretty darn good. I certainly cannot complain as there are those who have a lot worse going on. Chris and I are going to celebrate our 6th Anniversary in May. It just does not seem possible. Time really does fly by. Taylor is still playing basketball and is enjoying tournaments from here to Oregon. So far her team is taking 1st place on a regular basis. I love that she is so involved in sports AND getting straight A's too! She saved up enough money to buy her own T.V. and she has been really good about not spending all her time up in her room watching it. I was worried about that happening so I am glad she still spends time with us or else the cable would have to go!!!
Kayla is going to be 4 in June. My gosh is she a busy busy girl. She says some funny stuff and pushes every button Chris and I have. Someday she will be a strong powerful woman but, for now she is a tester!! She is playing soccer for Parks & Rec but her last class is Sunday. She started off WAY shy and then gradually gained more confidence so I think we will keep her at it.
Chris is busy with work, Union stuff, fixing his quad and doing the honey-do chores around here!! He has been really supportive of me over the past two months. I have had lots of sicknesses hit me and I just cannot kick the cough. Ugh! He had to run the whole fort for 3 days straight and I mean EVERYTHING! I spent days in bed. I am so glad to be feeling better except for the cough that's dragging on. So many people have had this around here! Chris spent a few days going through all the stuff in the garage and made room for our new car. My Dad gave me his 78 Corvette and since we had some sunshine last weekend....we finally brought it home. Took the scenic route of course! It will be fun to have this car, not just because it was something that was my Dad's but, Chris and I can go to car shows and rod runs when we have time. It's also nice just to cruise in the sunshine and forget all your problems for awhile.
We started booking some camping trips and I am so excited! It's awesome to have something to do as a family that gets you away from the daily grind. Our trailer has been lots of fun and camping in the rain is no big deal now!
Well, I suppose that's enough of an earful for now. I will certainly keep up the blogging now that I found everything I needed.

Hope you all are well!! :)
