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......

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.
