My Oh so neglected blog....

Dear neglected blog, I am sorry :(

So there's so much going on in our lives now and so much has changed that I have neglected my blog. I really love blogging and have for years, its so therupuetic for me. Facebook is really not where I can truly express my thoughts. I like it because I have been able to reconnect with so many old friends, but it doesnt do our family justice by any means.

So in a nutsell to catch you up, and I will post some old pictures and tell the timeline of how everything went down....

We had a great summer!

Found out we were expecting baby # 4

Madison tried out for her Middle school volleyball team and made it!

Madison started Middle School

Chase started preschool

We celebrated 2 birthdays! Madison turned 11 and Chase turned 4

Oh and we sold our old house after 6 yrs and moved!

Macy became a full blown toddler!

Whew! Now what I am hoping you take away from my blog is this! I love my life! Its crazy busy, hectic, exciting, loud, fulfilling, full of love, energy, diversity,commitment, structure, and time consuming! Justin and I don't have tons of time to date all the time, to take trips alone or to talk, haha! But we make that time and we are committed to be parents for life! And it's ok! We know that God willing we will have that time but for now we choose to raise 4 children, and we are dedicated to make sure they are taken care of and raised to our standards! Its not ideal for everyone,,we get it! But it works for us! And we couldn't be happier! All 5 of us!

So hope you'll join me on our crazy journey, I promise you'll laugh :)

And...when I get my new phone, I will start trying to blog daily with pictures and video! Super Excited!
