Terrible Blogger

Hello out there! I have not fallen off the face of the Earth. I am still alive and kicking.
Since I started Cosmetology school in September it has been a whirlwind of activity. I am just trying to juggle school, work, kids, and church. I don't get to update my blog very often anymore. Kind of sad! So, my new goal is to update at least once a month.
I hope to post some new pictures this weekend. Hope you are all enjoying the holidays!

Inspiring!

I feel like I have been in my own little vacuum. This morning I got online and checked a few sites I love to see (yes, I am a blog stalker). Anyways, I found out that Stephanie Nielson was on Oprah on October 8th. She is known as NieNie in the bloggers world. She survived a plane crash and she was burned on over 80% of her body. Through it all she has been an inspiration to many...including me. What a touching reminder of my own blessings of being a healthy, strong mother. I am so very blessed.

What's been happening here...

Well, school has started along with fall sports and everything that goes with that...I love it.

I just finished my 3rd week of Cosmetology school and I have already changed my own hair (of course). I love it (school & my hair). I will post a picture of my hair when I have actually done it (today was a super lazy day).

Yesterday we scrubbed the house like mad until the boy's football game and then met with some potential clients after that, so I was exhausted by the time we were done. We did get a job though! Yeah! So, now I will be designing evenings and weekends and going to school during the day. Fun, fun!

I finally framed the family tree I have been working on...thought I would share:

Football picture...the boy's team is 4-0 and they are doing awesome! They both look so natural out there this year. It is the funnest thing to watch your own kids! I will admit that I don't have any good pictures. They are all terrible. I will try to get some better ones before the season is over. I may even take some video...it is way more fun to watch them in action!

Tyler is #10 and Tanner is #7

First Day of School

Fall has hit and it's school time again! We woke up this morning and looked at the thermometer- it said 32! Summer is gone and I'm sad! I was more nervous than my kids this morning...I had an upset stomach and felt really anxious. I think they were just excited, which is really good! My boys are headed to the middle school this year and Syd is in 3rd grade. I remember when I was this old. I hope it's a good first day for everyone!

My cute, big kids all ready to go. Check out the bright shoes! I was just happy they let me take a picture this year. I guess the key is to take it at home, not school. They are way too cool for that!
