I AM BACK

It has been a long break. starting with the birth of our beautiful son born on Dec.8 . Getting back into the swing of things has been a little difficult . I had my first day back at the gym yesterday & kids all back to school today slowly but surely it is coming along. I'm not really in a hurry .I want to enjoy this time . with Jr. getting ready to graduate - I see how fast time goes by.

On Nov. 19 Jason and I celebrated 18 years of marriage. It is hard to believe so much time has gone by. But when I think of our age when we met reality sinks in - Cassandra is old!- we really have grown up together . I feel so lucky and blessed to have him in my life. The road has not been easy but definitely worth it. I was joking with him saying in 18 more years Jaxon will be graduating. Then the reality of that statement hit me and I was completely exhausted!

This is my absolute favorite picture of the kids.It was in 2002 when we first moved into the area.




So I have done a lousy job of keeping up with this.I find facebook much easier to deal with. I have not had alot of time on my hands. I have made napping a priority!


The cold is definetly here in Indiana. The high this week was like 34? I believe my hybernation season may start early. My nutty kids come home from school and are totally ready to play outside! These same children I sware I need to lock out of the house in the summer just to get them to go out and do something!?!

well new day, new president. I am actually not as bummed as I thought. Let's see how the first year goes. I did not believe either one could solve the the major problems are country is facing- economic - terrorists . but I tell you what this "new'" kind of government they are talking about is called socialism and it is not so new paint it any color you want it still spells out alot of crap for our country!

I did manage to get a picture of the kids before they
went Trick or Treating.

CATCHING UP!

I can not believe the last time I was on was Oct.21. my weekdays have been pretty hectic and the past two weekends I have not been home. I went to visit my very good friend Alicia over fall break. we had alot of fun just relaxing and we went out to eat at Cheese Cake Factory to celebrate her 25th Birthday and I only had Cathryn with me the rest of the children were at home with Jason. Of course I tooke my camera but did not take any pictures. I am such an ediot!
And this past weekend Jason and I went to Nashville, Tenn. he had some work stuff to doand I tagged along.we were able to visit with some friends from blacksburg. It was really nice catching up we had not seen them in 8 yrs . and my older brother happen to have work in the area too so I was able to see him . Once again had the camera but no pictures. I am blaming it on pregnant brain. The kids were left to fend for themselves. they did a very good job. they even got up and ready and went to church on thier own.
