SPRING TIME...
The days are finally getting warmer. Soccer season has officially started. Baseball and softball practice are in full swing. Flowers are starting to bloom and storms are starting to form. We have already hit 90 degrees twice this month. We have had one really big hail storm. The hail was about the size of a golf ball. Very scary moment in our house. It was really loud and my poor car took a pretty good beating. It has been in the shop for a couple of weeks now.
Meanwhile, we as a family are constantly moving. Brad is putting in a lot of hours at work. I am so happy he is working but I miss him when he is not home. The kids and I are running around. We go to school, practice, ballgames, school performances and etc. Tyler soccer is going well, Played his first game in the snow. Crazy right!! He has played 3 games and made 4 goals this season. Tanner love playing soccer. He tries really hard but just keeps missing. Taytum is playing both soccer and volleyball. Now she would prefer to play only volleyball but I like her running around and staying very active. She is really awesome at volleyball though. Get most of the game winning plays. Overall, the sports season is going great. Kids have so much talent. I am very blessed. Next week baseball and softball season will be started. I can not wait.
This March we went to Texas for spring break. Tyler went down to this fathers house for the week. Me, Tanner and Tay stayed in Dallas with Pops, We went to the St Patty's Day Parade. That was a good time. I honestly did not think it would be. I really hate crowds and drunk people. But the kids got lots of beads so we had a good time. We also went to the wax museum. Which, Tanner hated. He was so scared of the figures. I don't blame him they are kind of creepy.
Tyler had his birthday party. We did not do anything big for him. We had a little get together and he got a few presents. He is growing so fast. Turning into such a little man.
Taytum is growing way to fast. The bigger she get the more of an attitude she has. I know she is just deep down upset about things that she can not control. Hard to believe that someone would completely write her off. Not once but TWICE. Takes a completely mean person to do that. She did nothing and its not her fault. So explain to me why you choose not to love her. Better thing to do I guess. Taytum is one of the lucky ones. She has Brad. and I know that she does not see it like that right now. She will. He loves her so much. Been a father to her most of her life. Right now I know she is just hurt and most likely blames herself. I wish she would talk to me about it. At least she talks to her best friend about it. That makes me feel better.
Not much else to report. Everyone is healthy. I will be posting some pictures of the last couple of months. I will try not to be so long on my next blog.

A quick catch up on the everydays...
Well where do I start? Brad got a job. I am super excited for him. He is going to be the Store Manager of a Family Dollar. That is a step up from what he was at Walmart. I believe all kinds of possibility can come out of this.
Tanner turned 5 on the 6th of Feb. Wow, my baby is all grown up. I went a registered him for Kindergarten last week. Came home and told him about it and he did a fist pump. How cute.
Tyler is not doing so well in school. He has to attend summer school this summer. I feel like I failed him as a mom. I should have seen the signs or something. Taytum was the same way in 3rd grade and now she is a straight A student. It will be an adjustment for his summer visitation, but I think it will work out just fine.
Basketball season is wrapping up. I am highly disappointed in Tay's coach and the season all together. Tyler is having fun but this is the first year for positions, so he rarely get the ball unless he steals it. He is still so little that a lot of these boys just school him. He is trying really hard to grow. Eating lots of food, and wanting to work out and get stronger. Most of his friends in school have hit a growth spurt. He is still waiting. Soccer season is just around the corner. I love soccer. It means being outside and warm weather. I can't wait. Tyler, Taytum and Tanner are playing this spring. Taytum is also playing spring Volleyball. She is excited for that.
Not a whole lot else going on. The weather is wonderful today. Its in the 70's. Wish it would stay this way but we are not over with winter just yet. I have a lot of basketball picture to edit so I got to sign off. I will catch back up with you when something exciting happens.

Snow day............Again
Well here it is day 3 of the snow days this week. The children have been out of school more since the first of the year. Snow days are meant to be fun. Right? Not in this house. It is constant fight over the TV, Wii, Xbox and computer. Or listening to "mom I am bored and his not sharing". We are all experiencing Cabin Fever like crazy. Brad has been constantly distracted these days. Can not wait for him to finally get back to being himself again. I just afraid that it will never happen. He needs a job. He needs separation from me and the kids. We all need some space from each other or we are going to scream. He keeps dropping hints for me to get a job. That's fine but who is going to tend to the children. Take them to school and practice. Feed them and go to their games, help with homework, and etc. My job is not sitting around and doing nothing. Tanner alone keeps me busy. Plus he is not in school yet. Speaking of school for Tanner, I just started filling out his registration for Kindergarten. Can you believe my little baby is going to in school next year. Taytum will be moving to the Middle School. I am not liking this at all. Tanner is super excited about starting school, I hope that is still the case when the first day rolls around.
Lets see what else to report. Basketball season is in full swing. The season is almost over. Kids played really hard. This year is Taytum's last season for basketball. She just does not have the competitive drive one needs at this age. Tyler has it, he puts all of it on the court when he plays. Usually breaks down in the car afterwards, but he loves his sports. Next up for spring is Taytum will play volleyball,soccer and start softball. Tyler has soccer and baseball and little Tanner will be playing soccer again. I have a busy spring coming up, but I love it. I look forward to the weekends when I get to watch ballgames. It is the highlight of my week. I am blessed to have such wonderful talented children.
It is so cold, and there is about 14 inch of snow outside. I want to go shopping for my little mans birthday this weekend but my car is kind of stuck in snow. We are not doing a whole lot for Tanner. Just cake and one gift he really wants. Guess what it a Mario Wii Game. Speaking of Wii. Tanner has created an entire new family of Miis. He calls them his other Mommy and Daddy. I wonder if I should be concern about this. I am sure he is just being silly. He like to say " I don't want you to play with me daddy, I have my other daddy". Silly boy.
Well I better go. Brad is off with Taytum getting stuff ready for a science project she has due tomorrow. (if there is school) She also, was put into the Advance Reading Class. She has some big presentation tomorrow on that at the school. She got Honor Roll last semester. So proud.
Here are some pics of the snow storm...
