It appears that I have not posted anything since Halloween. Well shame on me. We have been so busy with the holiday season, I am not sure where to begin.
Thanksgiving came and went. Tyler went to his father house in Texas. Me and the kids went to my in-laws house in Edna, KS. Brad drove up for the day but had to leave because he had to get back to work. It was a nice holiday. Christmas was hectic. I hate shopping, spending money we do not have, and running around. Absolutely makes me crazy. Got to spend time with the family. But felt like it was not enough. The kids got a lot of nice, really nice, presents. They made out like bandits. Tyler went to Texas for New Years. Brad, the kids and I watch the ball drop and had sparkling grape juice. Tanner absolutely thought it was the neatest thing. I think he really thought he was drinking real alcohol.
We are in the midst of basketball season. Tylers teams is playing awesome. They are in the top league and are undefeated. Tays team on the other hand, not so good. Bottom team with no wins. So sad to watch. Her coach does not even try to teach them anything. I do believe that this will be the last year for her. She is going to focus on softball, and volleyball.
We have been having such a warm winter. As I am typing this it is 60 degrees outside. We have had less than an inch of snow all winter. It is some crazy weather. I am not complaining. At least I don't have to balance on ice with this big ole belly.
Speaking of the baby. He ( yes its another boy) is a kicker. Moves around all the time. He is growing nicely. All my test have came back good. I am 28 weeks today. I really am starting to get to that point where I just want it to be here already. Starting to get baby stuff together. Grams got me a carseat, stroller, and playpen. A big thanks to her. I think now I just need clothing for the little guy. He has 5 onesies right now. I am going to have to start hitting up garage sales and second hand stores soon. Either way, I am hoping for a healthy boy, that is not too big.
I am not sure what else to report. Not a whole lot going on. Just school, sports, and my expanding belly.

Happy Halloween 2011
Well, another Halloween has come and gone. We had a blasted. Tyler went to a friends house and Taytum walked with a group of girls. I walked with Tanner and few other parents. The kids got lots of candy. Brad had to work. Sure wish we could see him more often and he would not have to miss these special times. But someones gotta pay the bills. Anyhow, here are some pictures of my little trick or treaters.

So much to say...where do I begin...
Well, lets see.
Big news: I am expecting. Super excited. Really has been a nerve-racking experience. I have been very quiet about it, till I knew that things were going to be okay. After last years loss, I figured, we would tell everyone after the first trimester. Nothing is harder than un-telling people that you are pregnant. So, sorry if it seems like I waited a long time to spill the beans. The baby is due in April. Another, April baby. I hope this means its a girl like Taytum. I spent the first 3 months sick. Just like when I was pregnant with Taytum. My boys never really gave me trouble with morning sickness.
What else is new. We went to Port Aransas at the end of Sept. The kids got out of school a few days to enjoy some vacation and see the family. We never get to see everybody all together. Tyler is always gone to his dads, when school is out. So, we had to make a visit happen. The kids, Brad, and I had a blast, despite all efforts from outside sources.
Kindergarten has been good for Tanner. Started out a little off but we are finally getting there. He would come home from school and have meltdowns. He also, would completely shut down at school for the teacher and not want to listen or work. BUt we are over that and moving forward. He is so eager to learn. Always wanting to name things that rhyme or opposites. And he handwriting has come a long way. I can actually read it.
Tyler is doing good. He like his class and his teacher. She is nice. He is showing a real effort this year to keep his grades up. He has join the orchestra. He plays the violin or as my family calls it "the fiddle". He also, is in the antibully club. Playing both soccer and football. Which is just about over, but of course he did great in both. Basketball season is right around the corner, so we are getting ready for that. Gonna have to stop throwing pass and start dribbling.
Taytum started 6th grade this year. I think she is struggling a bit. She will not talk about it but I think some of the girls are being mean to her. I just wish she would understand that she is beautiful just how she is. She does not have to be like them. Her grades are good. She score really high on math test last year and above average on reading. She is a smart girl. She got put on a new volleyball team this year. It was a challenge, for her, since she is so much more advance than these girls were. But she stuck with it. So I am proud of her. She did play soccer. AGAIN!! She just will not give it up. She is not bad, but I think she plays to be with some of her friends.
I have been busy with photos. I guess that is a good thing right. I had to do 5 soccer teams and 1 cheerleading squad. I sure hope this means that I will get more work in the future. I don't know what is harder. 5th grade girls or kindergarten boys. No one will smile for you. All seem so scared. Maybe its me. I must scare them. Gotta take my kids out soon before it gets cold and do their christmas pictures. I always get the holiday cards out quickly.
Brad has been working a lot. I mean a lot. He did get to come in and stay a weekend at the coast with us, but had to fly back. Left me to drive 17 hours in the car with the kids. Yikes!!!!
Last weekend had to take him to the ER. He was having pains like his gall badder was acting up. Turn out you can still have a stone even without a gall badder. After a night in the hospital and some expensive test, they told him he must of passed it. Oh well, I am glad he is okay. But not looking forward to that bill.
We have officially moved in to our town home. Only to find out our neighbors are real jerks. Complains about everything. THe littlest noise, the dog, the kids, my voice, everything. They went and told the people in the neighborhood that our children were bad and not to allow there kids to play with ours. Now, it work on two children but overall, most of the kids still play with ours. He did not take in to consideration that we lived just up the street for many years. Whenever their kids are outside and mine our. There is trouble. I just go about my life and not concern myself with them. They want to be petty, then let them. I don't really care.
Well, I don't know what else to report. Got to go pick up Taytum from school soon. Till next time.

Where do I begin...
Well, time has sure flown by fast. I have been so slow at keeping up with the blog. My humble apologies. I seriously doubt there is anyone out there who is sitting on the edge of the seat waiting for my to post. But it is fun to believe someone out there takes an interest in my boring life.
So here is a little rundown of the happening in our little world.
We finished up soccer season for all three kiddos. Taytum played a great spring volleyball season. We headed directly into baseball and softball season. School came to a closure and Tyler had to attend summer school. Summer kicked off in full force. HOT!!!
Tyler got to be pitcher in his baseball games a few time. Did really well. Tim got to see him play a game and pitch. Tyler was a very happy boy. He only wants to please his father. Taytum was the starting pitcher at all her games. Do not really know where they got the skills but I am proud of them both. Pitching is a hard thing to do, lots of pressure.
Tanner start kindergarten in a couple of weeks. I swear he has grown so much in the last month. He has been driving me insane. Tyler is in Texas at his fathers and Taytum has been at constant sleepovers all summer. Comes home every couple of days. So Tanner has had nobody to play with. When Taytum is home she just taunts him and makes him cry. SISTERS!!!
I finally can say I am a professional photography. Finally got paid for some work. Now I have been busy trying to find out way to get more business. I have been giving these people picture for free for so long. They don't want to actually have to pay for it. I guess that is my fault. Should have been greedy for the beginning. Its hard starting a business. I don't have a website and not a whole lot of experience with other people beside my children. So I am working on that as well. I have a few people who are asking for my services. And soon I hope to have a website set up. Did name my photography studio. In a "Snap" Photography. Catchy? I hope so. I am making flyer's to try and do some sports team photos and such.
Brad and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary. Every year we like to give a shot out to the doubters, who thought we would have failed by now. We have been through some tough stuff, but we are stronger for it. This last year has been hard. We are slowly getting back on our feet and the future is looking bright. We moved into a little town home back by the kids school. Which is good because the drive was crazy.
With Taytum starting middle school this year, I have to take her to school a 7:40am. Then the boys at 8:30am. Pick up Tanner at noon, then Tay at 2:50 followed by Tyler at 3:30 pm. Talk about always at the school. Plus I am in charge of the picture board at the elementary school. So I have to be up there for the events and such.
Soccer starts next month. All three are playing again. Could not convince Taytum to give it up just yet. Tyler is playing flag football. Just not ready for him in tackle. A lot of kids have come back to flag because they did not like tackle. Taytum will do volleyball again. Of course!! She is good at it. I think in the end her sports of choice will be Volleyball and Softball. Tyler will do anything and everything. Tanner just wants to dance as he told me last night. What a crazy kid.
I am missing Tyler a lot these days. He is my little sidekick. He is never to old to give me a hug. Tanner and Tay are. Makes me sad. I am not ready for my children to not need me anymore. Tanner is 5 and so independent. Only time he needs me is to wipe his butt. Sure wish he would learn that one. I will most likely cry when my baby goes into the school doors for kindergarten this year. I might cry when Taytum goes to middle school. I hope that it is a smooth transition for her. She said she is not nervous but I know its a big deal to her. It middle school. I remember how weird and awkward it was. People starting to change while other were falling behind. Starting to like boys. Gym and showers. Bad Memories!!!!
Anyhow, I pick up Tyler on Sunday. Then the adventure starts. My calendar is already full and there is still so much to go.
Till next time......
