Let's get this thing started




Well, here we are...Chris, Tasha, Evey and Colby (Jackson and Tootsie too)...and welcome to our crazy life. With the twins growing by the nanoseconds and no one around to see, I figured, what the heck...why not start a blog to share every bit of our crazy life with all of you. Our crazy life is just that, crazy. Life at this moment is an up hill battle and we're looking for flat land to come around the next corner. Chris works morning, noon, and well into the night, but have no sympathy folks, the man loves it. In fact, I'm quite sure he's addicted to working...that, or he just REALLY doesn't like me. The new school semester for myself has come with it's own new challenges. The New Year brought Mommy (me) a new job that was too good to pass up. I took a nursing assistant course over the summer (thanks Lori) and I'm finally putting that certification to use...every other weekend. Colby is now on his fourth antibiotic to try and get rid of an on going ear infection. Poor little guy, I must say though, he's been a trooper...he's usually the sensitive one. However, he was not a huge fan of the two day shots he had to endure, but a truck sticker, a smoothie, and magic Mommy medicine kiss made everything all better. Mission accomplished with Evey...pigtails!!! Woo-hoo!! That's right folks, my bald little baby now has JUST enough hair for me to put into pigtails...I call them spuds, cause they're so tiny. She spends most of her day dictating Colby, gladly tattling on him by screaching, "No, no, no!" She also has quite the vocabulary that she keeps to herself. Days will go by and she'll say nothing (other than no, of course) then she'll pop out with something like, "See ya later" to her potty as it goes down the toilet. It's safe to say that those two drive me nuts most of the time, but all of the fighting, screaming, and crying is easily forgotten with one little smile that lasts for seconds...then it's right back to screaming and fighting. Well, the goal for this blog is to post updates and photos at least every week. My hope is that I will start to take more photos of the kids since I've been slacking on that lately. I'm also hoping that at the end of the day, when the kids are in bed and the homework is done, that writing this blog will help me focus on the positive things in my day. Sometimes it gets so crazy here, 5:30 pm comes and the kids are screaming, Chris and I pass each other in the door way...he's comes home from work in just enough time for me to run out of the door to get to class just in time...the babes are in bed by the time I'm home, then it's homework and studying for me and work in the garage for Chris. Life is speeding by and I'm trying to slow it down. Well, I hope you all enjoy the start of this thing and will continue to drop in and watch our crazy life unfold. Love you all.
