Hello? Is anyone there?

Oh my freaking heck! I have no idea what my problem is, I just have not been in the blogging mood lately. I haven't read blogs of blogged myself in forever. It could be that I have moved or that I am trying to start a business or that summer in general has no set schedules. Whatever it is I hope it has past because I really would like to keep up with this crazy blog and all of yours as well.

We have had a fun summer so far. We are loving the new house and all of the room that we have here. I love sending the kiddos outside and letting them be free. I will try to recap as much as I can in some pictures. Here we go...

Here is a picture of our new house. Like I said before, we are loving the space. I loved the fact that we can shut the garage and have all of our possessions enclosed in one area...it was a weird feeling. We miss our old neighborhood like crazy and wish we could transplant all of our friends here. We were really spoiled in Willow Springs.

This might be a down side to the house, yard work. I have to admit that I have a black thumb. I can not grow anything. Aaron is the lucky one to get to mow the lawn. As of right now we are doing fantastic at growing weeds, not grass. We inherited a non existent yard full of glass and cigarette butts, but are trying really hard to revive it...if anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them.

We purchased a trampoline in hopes to keep our kids around our house. The kids love it. I love that I can be doing dishes and see this sight from my kitchen window. I do not frequent this toy because I usually pee my pants...which the kids do not understand. They ask us all the time to go jump with them, luckily daddy does not have the same problem as mommy.

Ethan turned 7 this year. Wow 7! He is already talking about his baptism, which is next year...holy crap! We had the fam over for Cake and Ice Cream and of course he was spoiled!

He loves hanging out with his cousins and meeting new friends in the neighborhood. The other day he asked to go to a friends house I said he could. About a half hour later he came home with 2 friends. They asked to go ride bikes, I said yes. Twenty minutes later he had 2 more friends with him. It was a total snowball effect. I love that he makes friends so easily!

For his Birthday we got him a bike. I felt like such a horrible mom because he never really had a bike. When we moved in all of the kids his age were riding two wheelers and Ethan had never. It only took him about 3 days to get the hang of the two wheeler...notice the training wheel...it never really worked so they were off real soon!

Emilee Mae turned 4 in April. She has grown up so much lately. I look at her and think, when did you get so big? Where is my little girl?

In June she had her summer dance recital. They danced to the "Tiki Room" it was really cute. Sometimes she will walk around the house saying..."I am practicing my sashe's"

I love this girl to death and I am glad that I have her!

This crazy boy is growing so big! He loves playing with his brother and sister. I wish he loved food. What Dawdy does not love food? He is rolling all over the place...and scooting backward. I really hope that crawling is not in the near future. I just want him to stay little.

Check out the hair! He is such a happy baby. He smiles all of the time and his laugh is the cutest thing I have ever heard!

Aaron and I are doing well. Aaron's company was bought by Symantec this past June so he is adjusting to the changes there. He was called to work with the wolves in scouting. He loves tinkering in his garage and doing all of my honey-do's around the house.

I am busy trying to keep up with the kiddos and get my preschool going. I am really excited to start teaching again. I can't wait until next year when I can hopefully have my dream preschool in the basement. If you know of anyone looking for a preschool in my area send them my way!

My goal is to update this once a week...hopefully by telling you this I will be held accountable and be able to do it!
