August Birthdays

Ok so my husband was the one with the camera. So there is only two pictures. We got to celebrate my brother n law Eric's, my sister Lynsey's, my cousin Cami's, my Grandma's, and my birthday. We had so many good cakes. When singing the birthday song it sounded really funny having everyone trying to say all the names. We have the same problem in April when there is another bunch of birthdays. I am so grateful that I come from such an awesome family heritage. I wish that my husband new his cousins, aunts, and uncles like I know mine. We get together the third Sunday of every month if not more if there is holidays or special occasions. Well one of the pictures is Lynsey and my brother n law is in the corner and the other is me and Cami and some of the other cousins. I can't believe I am turning 27 this month. Steven is turning 30 next year and I am very close. I always thought that my life would be so different when I was a kids seeing my parents, aunts, uncles, cousin they seemed like so much older and now I am that old I don't even feel like I am that old. Well I guess we can't stay in neverland forever. We all have to grow up sometime.

Hello Craziness!

Well life has been so crazy lately. We have been blessed with two foster kids. They are both girls four and five and have crazy schedules. I thought I would never have this problem of running around nonstop. The girls have mom visits on Mondays. Tuesdays we are supposed to be able to relax but for some reason we always have something going on. Wednesdays is piano days even though the four year old is really not doing it. Thursdays is gymnastics. It is their favorite day of the week. After picking up after school we come home do some homework have a snack and off to the gym. They ask for gymnastics day like everyday. I wish that I was a millionaire to be able to take them all the time. They burn so much energy and come out drenched in sweat. I know gross but it is less energy that I have to use to help them burn energy I just sit in the lobby. Wednesdays and Fridays are our crazy days. This is when I have to take both girls to two different schools. Then off to work for me. Then I have to pick both girls up and it just feels like the day never ends because we always have to do something. Like yesterday was Friday and we didn't get home till like 5:30 because I had to get the girls after school, go to the bank, stop by my chiropractor, go to the store to pick up some ingredients for dinner. Phew it makes me tired just talking about it. It has been fun, really crazy but fun. It is nice to have some company even though sometimes they can be a bit loud. We are looking into getting the girls into soccer soon even though I hate soccer but it is so good for the girls to burn energy. I wish I could have a pinch of their energy. I never thought I would be like mom in someways when it comes to parenting but I am. Pretty much I think I am actually stricter than my mom sometimes. But these sweet girls have come from a place where they had no structure at all. It is kind of hard for the girls to get used to having rules but they are coming around. I wish I could post pictures but since these kids are the state's I can't post them. My birthday is coming up and we are having my grandma's, my cousin Cami, my sister Lynsey, and my birthday at my grandmas house tomorrow night. So pictures are to come. On my husbands side we will be having a party for my sister-n-law Lara, my twin nephews Elijah and Isaiah, and me. So it should be a good month. As for the craziness I doubt it's going to slow down anytime soon because I went to the invetro doctor last week. So my body is going to be poked and praded soon. Hope this time works better.
