I try.

I have been getting some serious crap from people (mmmm.....Beth) about my lack of blogging. I know I have some serious catching up to do. But it has been a busy summer with buying a house and all (and being pregnant). So let's just cut me some slack here folks. I'm trying.

Here we have the kids first day of school. They started a new school too. They are doing awesome and loving it. These were actually taken after school because I forgot to take them before they left in the morning.


Eli turned 4 the end of September.


Picture day at school. Work it girl.

Garden of the Gods

I am so behind on this blogging thing. I'm going to try and catch up a bit in the next couple days. Here it goes.
We headed to "The Springs" a couple weeks ago to check out Garden of the Gods. A place with big rock and you can see people rock climbing. Mason was at a scout day camp so he wasn't with us.
What he doesn't know won't hurt him, right? We did miss him!

Officially Official

We will having baby #4 in October. We are excited! I don't have a picture to put on here. The baby is about the size of a lime. I thought about finding a random picture on the internet of an ultrasound but thought it might be kinda creepy. The kids have known for awhile and they have kept it a secret! They needed to know why I was always on the couch and feeding them cereal for dinner. Or sometimes forgetting to feed them. I hope that I start being less lame and feeling better soon.
There ya have it.

When your a kid.....

You do some crazy things.
I pooped in a Ziploc bag. That's right my peeps. I had to go really bad while me and my mom were getting the kids from school.
There was no bathroom.
There was no bush.
Only one gallon size Ziploc bag full of sugar snap peas. So I squatted right there between the bucket seats of my sweet ride. My mom held the bag. She's the best.
I got it all in there. What next? She found a pair of socks and used that to clean me up.
It. was. awesome.

• This is not THE Ziploc bag. My mom is cheap, but even she has her limits.

Love, Eli


p.s. This story is about Eli pooping in the bag. NOT ME. I think there may have been some confusion. Though if it were me....I probably still would of shared.
