One month, two months.........

So, its been a while. I know, I know. I wish I had some awesome story to tell why I haven't blogged but honestly, I've just been busy with life. Sorry, some things have priority. Actually, the last few months have brought some crazy things so here they are in a nutshell.

1. Christmas was so much fun. Great to be with family and have Santa come! Can I just tell you we are (well, Seth is) amazing packers! We crammeded all of our stuff plus us into our little Malibu (complete with Logan's basketball hoop and Chloe's tunnels) with room to spare in the back seat! Woohoo! While it is doable, I don't recommend it.

(The ear infection we didn't know about and Chloe vomiting the night before can explain these reactions to Christmas morning)

2. Colt and Ashley were having a New Year's party and Seth was in Memphis on an externship. I really didn't want to take my two kids late at night to a party all night to come home by myself. However, the party animals that they are were FORCING me to go! Come to find out, Seth flew home early to surprise me and we did go party! It was a blast too!


(By far, the funnest and funniest game I have ever played! I'll spare you the rest of the pictures but here are the scores! If you want to know more, email me!)

3. We've had some really NICE and WARM days in Colorado and have been to the Zoo, parks, date night trade and out and about. Gotta love it!

4. The kids and I were in a little accident. Okay, we were hit by a semi. Sounds crazy and it was but the car doesn't look as bad as it sounds. We were in a turning lane to go left onto the freeway and the semi was coming across us off the freeway (is this making sense) and his trailer hit us. Everyone was fine. It just hit where I was and the kids only freaked out for a few minutes. The fireman were awesome! And, today we learned that they are going to total our car but we are getting twice what we thought we'd get. Guess that means we are going car shopping. Mixed emotions about that one. I know this is the one everybody wants to see pictures of but the best ones are on my phone and I don't know how to get them from there to here. I'll do that maybe when we get a new car to show you our upgrade.

5. We had a follow up with the ENT doctors about Logan's chronic ear infections yesterday. He is going to have surgery in a few weeks to put tubes in his ears, and take out his tonsils and adenoids. Poor boy. However, we are grateful he won't have to deal with bursting ear drums and risking hearing loss anymore.

6. We have decided to go unprivate. Weird, I know. But, the main purpose of this blog is to keep our parents up to date on the most adorable grandkids ever and they haven't quite figured out how to access it yet with it being private. So, until we get them set up, back to open invitation. I'll let you know when we go private again.

7. Logan informed us last night he want to get married (where did that come from?)! We told him after his mission he'll meet a cute girl (to which he said he wasn't going to marry Baby who is Chloe) and he can marry her. I thought it was nice that he thinks the only cute girl around is his little sister!

8. Duh! I did some shoots in AZ during our break. Check out my photo blog to see them.

So, that's life. Now that we are all caught up (or somewhat anyway) maybe I won't dread this so much. It wasn't that bad!
