How in the world did this happen?

 I've been a bad blogger lately.  I set a secret goal to post twice a week...but that went out the window the first week!  Things have been crazy and non stop the past couple months.  It's funny, when Brody and Sadie were little, like Brody 2 Sadie 1 little, I thought my life couldn't get any busier and things would be so much easier when my kids were a few years older.  I laugh right now as I type that.  As your kids get older your life just gets more busier and more hectic.

Reasons why I'm not a good blogger:
getting kids off to school, bus stop 3 times a day, potty training, baseball practice/games 3 times a week, dance class, primary president, room mom for Brody's class, help in Sadie's class every other week, doing hair, boot camp, book of mormon challenge, cleaning/laundry, homework.
BUT, I have an awesome husband who helps me out so much, and who is way more busy than I am.
I love this time of my life right now and I wouldn't change it for anything.  I know 5 years from now I am going to be wishing I could go back to now because life will just get that much more crazy. 

Pics from the past few weeks...


Brody has made leaps and bounds in baseball this year.  He hadn't played in 3 years (which was t-ball) and got put on a team that really knew what they were doing.  He had to catch up a ton and learn so many things but he has done so well and is really loving it now.  Last night, he hit a sweet line drive to the out field!  Nothing like a little boost of confidence, he was all grins the rest of the night.

This is how we spend our conference Sundays.  Huddled around the laptop.  We don't get BYU channel so it makes for an eventful several hours.  I promise I was not sleeping...just blinking.  

I hosted a fun Bunco night a couple weeks ago at a friends house.  We had so much fun but missed our long lost Katrina...Boo hoo!

Last week was spirit week.  One day was twin day so Sadie and her best friend dressed up alike.  Luckily Brielle's little sister who was 3 at the time is the same size as Sadie...who is 5!

This month is the worst month for asthma!!  Poor Brody has really been suffering here in VA.  A few weeks ago we had to take  him the the E.R. because it got so bad and was the middle of the night.  They had to give him a steroid shot to help open his lungs up.  When he gets that bad, that is the only thing that helps him.  He had to have another one the next week because it got bad again!!  He is such a trooper though.  When we would ask him how he feels, he would just say "medium"...when you could tell he was in so much pain from not being able to breath.  He has been on a lot of meds lately!

Last month the kids and I took a little trip to South Carolina to visit my Grandma (she was visiting from AZ) and her family.  It was so fun to see some of my Great aunts and Uncles.  The kids loved fishing and each caught several fish...even Ronan!

I think this is my new fav picture.

Yay!! I love it! Its okay that you're busy, right? hahaha. I will be sure to remember that now (since mine are 2 and 1 ;).
I think I'm looking forward to less tantrums, but I'll miss the constant hugs and cuddles (and I know the fighting will probably never truly go away, lol).

Those pictures are ADORABLE!
Go Brody, in baseball, and for being a trooper with Asthma!!
Sady is adorable, and itty bitty (my Sammy sounds like she'll be on the small side; very opposite of big brother).
South Carolina, eh? How fun!
Thanks for the post! Miss you guys :)

Um, that does sound like a crazy sched! I didn't know you were the president now... so I guess I should gear up for the crazy years ahead? :) Thanks for the heads up! Glad to hear about what you're doing. Oh ya, we totally sat around the laptop for conference one year in AZ when we didn't have BYU tv! good times

I love it when you post on your blog! We miss you guys! We watch it on the laptop too, but it's usually hooked up to the TV so it makes it easier. :)

Looks like you guys are having fun!
