Been a while!

Wow, it's been a along time since I've blogged. I have to blame Facebook! I spend way too much time on there. lol

The boys are all doing great - C1 is playing tee ball on two different teams now, and is almost done with Kindergarten! C2 is so excited to go to school next year, but I'd really like to just keep him home with me!!! C3 is growing way too fast! He's already trying to use the potty - he's only 16 months old. I wish he'd slow down and just be my baby for a while longer!

Things with the hubby are going great right now. We had a big rough patch, but we are both working hard at making time for each other and it's been great. He even went to church with us last week without me even saying a word. It was Mother's Day, though so that might have had something to do with it. I'm just so happy he was there! I hope this means that he'll be more involved with the church in the future!

More Tee Ball!

This is C2's first year to play tee ball. He's pretty excited about it and loves to catch! He gets kind of upset if someone else gets to the ball first, so he's learning to pay attention and run as fast as he can. Sometimes it turns into a dog pile and the coach has to pick each player up and get to the bottom to see who has the ball. It's a lot of fun to watch him play!

Tee ball time!

C1 had his first tee ball game of the season yesterday. He did a great job and had a lot of fun!

He got to play catcher in the first inning - everyone wanted to because of the extra gear!

This is his first hit of the game - see where people are looking? It was a GREAT hit!
This is his first run of the game - you can see Daddy right behind him helping to coach.

Muddy Buddies

After most of the snow melted yesterday C1 and C2 enjoyed some time in the mud. Daddy was NOT so happy about this.

You can see that C1 was very proud of his muddiness!

Late March Snow

We ended up getting 7-8 inches at our house. C1 and C2 LOVED it! C3 loved it only when he was in our arms. lol

Rough couple of days

C3 has been sick this week with some sort of stomach virus. It has not been fun for him or me! I don't know how many loads of laundry I've done or how many times I've had to drag out the spot cleaner. And somehow, I've been blamed for the throwing up - someone thinks it's the juice I've been giving C3 for about 9 months. Yep, that's right - he's been throwing up for two days because I've been giving him 100% juice for 9 months. Hmmm. Is it any wonder I found great satisfaction when C3 threw up ALL OVER my husband last night?

Absence makes the heart grow fonder...

Even if it's just for a few hours! Last week was hard - I had a lot of extra time with all the kids since it was Spring Break. I tried to take them places and have activities to keep them busy, plus a lot of time playing outside. It probably helped a bit, but it was still a struggle. I don't know how many times I heard C2 say he doesn't love me, or C1 tell me that I'm so mean. By Saturday, I was so worn down that I can't remember how many times I cried. I know I shouldn't let what the kids say get to me, but after a while it just does. I'm so thankful for having a night out with friends! They have no idea how much they all mean to me. I feel so much better now - like I'm actually able to handle what they throw at me for a couple more months! I think I'd lose my sanity without my girlfriends! I just wish I could see them all more often!
