Am I actually going to do it?

I am going to write again. Wow!

I read blogs from my friends and family and it seems like everyone is so on top of things... except for me of course!

So what's going on in our lives?

Amelia turned four last week! We had her birthday party at Peter Piper Pizza. Much easier on me than a party at home.


How many kids does it take to open presents? Apparently, all three of them!


Amelia and mom LOVE going to the zoo!


So strange that she is growing into a girl now. No more baby or even toddler. She has the attitude of a 14 year old. She seems hormonal and moody sometimes. Her new favorite saying when she is not happy with what I have to say is "You wuined my wife!" I can't help but laugh but I try to turn away because I don't want to encourage the snottiness. Plus, she is just too dang cute!

Rylan is in 2nd grade and he turned 8 in September. We had a birthday party at the park. Hot dogs and nachos and mini dry ice bombs and a pinata. It was a little hot but we still had a great time.



Rylan got baptized two Saturdays ago. It was such a sweet experience and I am so proud of him. He was super cute. Whenever we asked him how he was feeling, he would just give a big grin and say "good."


Robby is 10 1/2. He is loving fifth grade. Getting straight A's and perfect attendance. He also is starting band this year. He is playing the clarinet. Should be fun for him, but he won't be able to get any help around here since both Eric and I are severely lacking the musical talent area.

He really enjoys Webelos also. He is finishing up his Webelos badge and is also pretty close to getting his Arrow of Light. His goal is to earn all the activity pins before his birthday in April.

Robby can't seem to take a serious picture. I wonder which side of the family he gets that from.



Our school is celebrating their 50th anniversary this year. So they celebrated with a 50s day at school and also a sock hop in the evening. Jeans and white t-shirts with rolled up sleeves are about the best we can do for 50s dress up around here, but if I say so myself, my boys are pretty handsome!

As for me, I am about 6 months pregnant now, but feel and look more like 9, due January 23rd. It is a boy, for those of you that don't already know.

Overall, we are all healthy and happy!
