Our Crazy Beautiful Life: Up-Date!!

Its sure been a while since I have been on here, but I have honestly not had the time. There are many times in a day where the kids say something funny or we have a big event and I think to myself "I need to blog about that" and it just doesn't happen. I'm tired, but all for good reason, but I'm still tired. I'm not trying to complain because I know how truly blessed I am. Joshua is an amazing baby who sleeps well, smiles all the time and is a great eater... what more could I ask for? Between the sports (now 5 days a week) and school, and daily chores, birthdays, holidays and oh yeah, I've been working out 4-5 days a week, there just isn't time for much else right now. If I'm lucky enough to get a lull in events, it is usually used to prep and organize for what's coming up next... but we are enjoying it, and I'm so very very thankful to have such a well behaved and easy going little one :)

I'm starting to think about my garden again... wondering how {grand} its going to be this year. I always take a lot of pride in my garden and the bounty that it provides for our family, but I think that its just going to be basic this year. I don't think that I am going to try anything new, just stick to what I know works well, but I am anxious to get that started.

Healthy eating has been a top priority and so has being active. With all the nasty sickness that has gone through our house, I will admit that we have been watching more tv and playing more games on our tablets then I would like. The weather has been nicer (not this week) but last week was nice, and we have been playing outside a lot more, and I strap Josh in my Ergo and Luke and I walk to pick up Blake from school. Since we live about 1/2 a mile away, its a pretty quick walk :) I look forward to the nicer weather. I love the natural sunlight and I love how it makes me feel. Ahhhh sun... please come back!

There have been many sweet moments that I have witnessed with my boys. Blake and Luke tend to argue and pester each other, but when they are around josh, they love to talk to him in sweet and soft voices and they love to hold him. Especially Blake. He picks him up and will bring him to me... yes he is good at it, and he knows that he cant pick him up without asking me first. lol Its just really fulfilling to see their sweet side with him.

Im going to {try} to make time for more blog posts, but I am not going to lie, I think that they are going to be few and far between for a while, but I do know how important it is to me since this is essentially my memory bank...my dear diary...my place for reflection.
