Just Taking It Day by Day

Seems like I never have enough time for anything!! I have thought about blogging, but since a certain someone messed up my laptop, I havent had much of a chance to get on!

Things are going ok! Seems along with not having enough time, I also dont have enough money! But I know I am not the only one! The kids start back to school on the 20th! Kaela isnt too excited about school, but she gets to play volleyball this year! She starts practice the 17th! I am really excited about that for her too! She is an awesome volleyball player!

Carter is really looking forward to school this year! He is going into the 2nd grade! He is the one when you ask if he is ready, he is excited about it!! Keaton is pretty excited too! He will be going into the big Kindergarten!! This will be interesting for him! K here is an all day affair!

Z is getting bigger and bigger by the day!! I cant believe how big she is getting!! She is 17 months already!! Where has the time gone? Our morning routine will be a bit different this year! I will only have her to take to the sitters.

Well, I need to go clean some more! I came to put a sheet on the bed and decided to blog real quick! I want to get on here more! Whether that happens or not we shall see!

Quite a bit of time has passed. Not that I havent wanted to get on here and blog. But sometimes I find myself worrying about what to put on here. Dont get me wrong, I have a ton to talk about, just not always what everyone else might find interesting.

I have been really emotional here lately! If I didnt know better I would think I was pregnant! But that is definately NOT the case. I just wish I could figure it out. Of course, I'm sure the fact that I have sucked at taking my generic paxil has nothing to do with it!

It has been crazy busy at our house! Between basketball practices and games going on between Carter and Kaela, it isnt surprising. Carter has gotten to work with the high school boys team, and has done so good. They had quite a few practices, and then two weeks ago they had there games. So cute watching all those little 1st graders running around and shooting hoops! Kaela is playing Rec basketball! And I have to admit, I am VERY proud of her basketball skills!! She seems to be a natural when it comes to basketball, volleyball, and softball! I hope she continues to excell and have fun in all 3 of these sports! Her basketball team has only lost 1 game, and won 5 of them! She has scored in all the games so far. The one game I didnt get to watch, she scored 10 pts!!!

Keaton is still my little Keaton! Always cracking us up! I of course cant think of any of the funny things he has done now that I am actually on here!

Kenzi is my little angel still! Even thou there are times I go crazy!! I cant believe she is growing up so fast! She is 10 months. Kaela thinks its funny to say "Hey mom, kenzi is almost a year old!" I keep telling her to shut up and quit reminding me!! *LOL*

Well, I have wanted to get on and blog, but my wireless internet crapped out on my laptop. And to be honest, I really am not too fond of using Casey or Mikaela's laptop to do it.

So, here I am! So much has happened since I last posted in August. Mackenzie is now 8 months old!! I can hardly believe how fast it is going. She has mastered crawling and is pulling up on stuff and cruizing. She has 2 teeth and a great personality. She loves the camera, which is a very good thing considering how many pics I take of the child!!

Mikaela is doing great. 6th grade is going pretty good for her, for the most part. She did awesome in rec volleyball, and has been on a traveling volleyball team. That is a privilege. You have to be asked to be on one of those. My pharmacy sponsered the team. We travel about an hour and a half for Kaela to play. I have to tell you that she is a great volleyball player. Rec basketball is coming up quickly. Which reminds me I need to get Kaela and Carter signed up.

Carter is in 1st grade and rocking it. I am kinda sad for him. One of his close friends, Pete, just moved this past week to Colorado. Carter and Keaton both went over and played quite often at his house.

Keaton, now Keaton is my crack up!! I have to get ready to go take a shower so Casey will quit hollering at me. But I have to tell you some cute stories about him!! Some of the things he says cracks me up. I am going to get some pics uploaded too!!

I have missed coming on here. Now that my internet is working again on my laptop, and Kenzi is a bit older, I am hoping to be posting more often.

there is so much to talk about. Guess I am just gonna kinda mumble while I can. I have constantly wanted to get on here and update, but it always seems like there is one thing or another happening to make it impossible. Like right now, as I log on to do this, Ms. Kenzi decides to start fussing!!



Guess I will attempt again in a bit if possible!! I still owe pictures too!!!

Well, that was what I last attempted! *LOL*

All is well here in our house. It is a bit busy right now for me. Casey is gone to New York City this week. He left on Sunday, and wont be back until next Sunday/Monday.

We have had alot going on. Mackenzie turned 6 months old yesterday. I still cant believe my last baby is that old already!! She is so smart! She has been rolling over for like the last 2 months, and is almost sitting up by herself. And she can get to where ever she needs to. She is almost crawling!! I took a picture of her up on all fours this morning! I told Casey that she was going to crawl while he is gone!!

Keaton started pre-school this year. There first day was on the 18th of August. He is going for help with his speech. Nothing major, just some little sounds that need some attention.

Carter started 1st grade and is doing really well!! We have spelling words and books to read all the time!!

Kaeli started the 6th grade, which is middle school here!! got a good pic of how far she would let us go on the first day!! She has decided that she wants to play the clarinet. She is pretty good at it, and Kenzi loves it when she practices!!

Oh yeah, we also got a new camera!! A Canon Rebel!! And I love it!!

Wow!! Time really flies doesnt it?? I sat down to try to update on July 4th and then got called away!! Alot has gone on!! Let's see!! Mackenzie will be 4 months old next week!! I cant believe how quickly that has gone!! She is doing great!! Cooing and smiling all the time! Last nite she rolled over from her back to her tummy on the couch. I put her on the floor, but it hasnt been repeated yet!! I am gonna see if I can get it on film!

This might be a crazy update, since there is so much flying thru my head! Rec ball season is officially over!! Carter, as usual, had a blast playing ball!! He is so good at it!! His coach called him his "little all-star". Talk about making mommy beam!! And Mikaela rocked it!!! Her team took championship!!! They had two losses, Madison and Yates Center. Well, their 2nd game in the tourney was to play against Madison, who we found out was undefeated!! Mikaela was a little nervous. I told her not to be, that they could beat those girls just as easy as they beat them! Let's just say the girls had no fear against their pitcher this game!! The bats were swinging!! The girls won that game 8-5!! So they headed on to the championship game! The would play either another team from our town, or Yates Center. Yates Center lost, they played against Madison for 3rd place!! Which Yates Center took, leaving Madison with 4th!! *LOL* So they went from being undefeated and cocky to 2 losses in one day and 4th place!! Mikaela's teamd did great!! Ended up winning the championship game 10-5!!

I got a new cell phone!! I really like it! It is the LG Glimmer! Pretty nice with a touch screen and all!!

Well, sorry this update was short, I guess I need to go clean some!! I promise to come back and post some summer pics and others!! (Hope there is still someone reading this!! ;)
