Catching Up {sort of}.

I've had all these great intentions of catching up on all the blog posts I've wanted to write and yet it hasn't happened. 

I thought for sure I could catch up on all my favorite blogs and yet my reader tells me I have over 500 unread posts. Yikes.

That's just not going to happen. 

Here is what is going to happen. 

I'm going to do a mini catch up right now and then start fresh. 

No going back just moving forward.

Phew I feel better just writing that.

Here goes...

I took some bath photos of Jacob recently and I love this one.

A few weeks ago my sisters and I took the kids to The Discovery Science Center.

They all loved it but I have no good pictures to prove it.

Well just this one. 

We went to the river a couple of weeks ago and had a blast. 

My parents were finally able to take possession of their new boat, which took 4 years to build. Crazy.

Aren't they cute.

My grandparents, sisters, their husbands, all our kids and more were there too.

It made for a great time.

The very next weekend we headed up to Big Bear to spend some time with Brett's parents.

The boys were able to do a ton of fishing which made them very happy. 

We played by the lake, went on a boat ride, visited the little zoo, ate too much good food, and relaxed. 

So as you can see we've been busy.

Oh and I've been working for the last couple of weeks which will be ending soon, thankfully.

And the kids got sick in the middle of it all. Doesn't it always seem to go that way.

But they're on the mend and life is getting back to normal a bit.

I feel better now that I got that all out...lets move forward. 

p.s. thank you for all the kind comments regarding Ethan and his stitches. i'm still so proud of my little guy.
