First day of school

First day of school- They all look so happy.

Tagged by Tina

Tina my sis-in-law tagged me. Six things about me people might not know.


Here it goes:

1. I love watching Phoenix Suns play-it's the only team I really follow!

2. My mouth moves faster than my brain- hence the reason I carpool with 7 different kids, coach Paiges soccer team, volunteer on 3 different PTA boards-you get the idea.

3. I'm too the point in my life as a mom that my kids are rolling their eyes at me whenever I suggest anything they don't like. I so remember doing that to my mom!

4. I'm lousy at responding to emails, phone calls, etc in a timely manner- I started this tag 3 days ago!

5. I love it when Long cooks dinner-it's rare, but always a treat.

6. I always bite my nails-it's a bad habit I've had as long as I can remember!



Now it's your turn. Link back to by blog when you've posted your 6 things.

Oh The Pressure!

I finally got sick of Karolee bugging me about my ugly, 90's looking blog so I hope you all like the new updated look. I will even add some updated pictures from our trip to Oregon! Wow! Can you believe it?!






Oregon was beautiful and we would love to go back again sometime! I have a lot more pictures so I might even blog again soon!


Hope you are all having a great summer too!

First Post, finally!

I'm officially starting our family blog. Don't expect too much-this is new and I'm very inexperienced! I'll try to add a picture and see where it goes. Thanks for bearing with me while I get this started.
