A Breath of Fresh Air....
Have you had one of those quiet moments where you sit back, relax and take a good look around, a deep breath of fresh air, and think....wow....it really doesn't get any better than this?
If you have, tell me about it....because I haven't had a moment of sitting back and looking around for a long time...and the only deep breath of fresh air I've had is from gasping for air as i force myself to finish my 6 am workouts before the crew takes over my life.
I've been neck deep in life....and can I just say....it really doesn't get any better than this.
I sometimes used to have this habit of thinking to myself.....when the kids are older I won't have to sit and do homework with them anymore, they'll be able to do it all by themselves, or when they're all in school I'll have time go to the market alone (alone, is that really possible) and actually remember to use my coupons, or when the older ones are off to college I won't have to drive 100 miles round trip to soccer and worry about who's using their cell phone too much.
Funny thing...I want all of it...every crazy chaotic moment of it to be my life....I don't want this part of our family to change.....just yet. I want to keep spending hours at the kitchen table doing homework with all of my kids....i want to keep taking my toddlers to the grocery store and push the big race car shopping carts around as we clear isles and make huge obnoxious scenes...i want to keep driving with my girls up and down the freeway so we can just be together.
My breath of fresh air comes when my 3 yr old twins will, without fail, ask to brush their teeth 8 times a day and want to change their clothes just as many times....or when my 7 yr old begs me to please jump in the pool and swim with him even though I just took a shower and did my hair for the first time in 3 days....or when my 14 yr old text me from school, yes ME, of all people, to thank me for helping her study for her test that she got an A, or when my 16 yr old talks to me for over 50 miles about her friends, life, interest and spiritual experiences.
That is fresh air. Life is constantly happening and I'm not going to miss one crazy moment of it....which is why I've been MIA here in the blog world. I've attempted to start posting probably 20 times, but something always seems to pull me away. But I think, maybe, hopefully, once again, I can get back to blogging just a little bit. My extended family has been drilling me about doing a blog so they can keep up with the family. So we'll see...hopefully I can get back on track and get back to the fun blabbing and chatting that we do around here in the blog world. But I can't promise anything spectacular or exciting....

I'm Back....
I'm back...
Life has gotten chaotic-busy in wonderful ways and blogging was taking a backseat. I'm here now...in and out...still busy, but hoping to keep up on my all my blogging. I have so many saved posts and ideas. I haven't even had time to try and post one up. But hopefully in a day or two I'll be moving along.
I do have some great holiday giveaways planned...I owe that to you! I can't wait to give some presents away! ♥
I did finish the pettiskirt...
Go me! It was HARD! I'm not going to lie....tedious! But she was so cute as our little Autumn Fairy.
Homecoming was a blast...we had 20 kids over for a candlelight dinner. My girl is growing up! Makes me happy-sad...
Genealogy has become a big hobby for me lately...I could go on and on about that! What an amazing experience that has been... Found my long lost family that had been forgotten.
So much more has been happening in our little world, but with all the craziness I have managed to be creative and create...which has probably kept me SANE! I'll share some of my fun with you soon....

Home Sweet Home!!!
Home finally...Long exciting weekend. Wish I had better news, but our girls lost the State championship game in a HEART BREAKER on Monday night. It was a sad sad loss, considering we had already beaten this team. My girl was heartbroken, but after about 20 min. in the car between her siblings and the flip video camera, she was all smiles as our singing contest began. I won't pain you with the horrible singing that went on the car, but it was bad enough to make everyone laugh, smile and forget about the awful loss!
Just glad to be home to enjoy our final days of summer break. Planning beach days, shopping days, park days, water days....whatever days we can fill up and enjoy before the grind starts up again.

Another Victim of the Porcelain Express
Ever since the twins have turned about 18 months old they've enlightened me on many new parenting experiences. My other 3 kids were "normal"...you know, just some basic color crayon on the wall. That's pretty much it. Quite uneventful.
Well...well...well...Let me tell you something! Twins, they're capable of just about ANYTHING. With 2 minds working as one they are their own form of organized crime. Cute crime, but nonetheless, they're beginner criminals. We've had some bouts with the toilet and they're obsession to flush anything they can find down it...entire rolls of toilet paper, small matchbox cars, hair bows, food....
Today they've once again succeeded in victimizing unsuspecting inanimate objects to the porcelain express.
I headed in to do my makeup as I was trying to clean up for the day...after all it's my birthday today ;o) and I should look decent, right? I put my makeup away in the same place every time. I went to grab my foundation and realized it was not in its place. I looked around the counter, in the drawers and was stumped as to where this large jar of foundation could have disappeared. I then looked for my powder...and found that in the wrong place and started looking for anything else that might be missing or out of place. I noticed my overly-priced Kabuki Brush was missing too!
{GASP}
I wrongly accused my teen daughter who swore she was no where near my bathroom...but then I remembered I had caught the twins in my bathroom a few hours before...and it dawned on me that they must have hid the brush and foundation somewhere. I looked all over thinking I'd find makeup all over my clothes or something...and then I saw the backed up toilet....brimming with water...ready to spill over. I grabbed the plunger (not putting 2-n-2 together) and began plunging...
I could hear tinging and pinging and wondered what in the world could be in there...as my hand pressed down on the handle to flush the toilet I saw a glimmer of silver...hummm...OH NO! It registered that it was the handle of my makeup brush...GONE! I flushed it...but as the water kept draining back and forth I could hear the tinging and pinging moving around back and forth in the base of the toilet and then it got quieter and quieter and moved away....
I ran out and grabbed the twins and asked them in the kindest sweetest voice I could find "Where's Mommy's makeup? Have you seen it?" They both skipped over to the toilet and with large smiles blabbed, "Here! Right there....Mommy."
So FYI, a large full bottle of foundation and an over-priced Kabuki brush CAN FIT down your toilet!

Wordless Wednesday - My Mama
My mama will KILL me if she knows I put her picture up for public viewing...But I'm so happy to have her for a few days I had to share her! This is a picture taken at the softball field after some rain and sitting in hours of Florida humidity... She'll kill me! But the only way she'll find out is if she can turn her computer on, get online and find my blog...and that's doubtful... ♥For more Wordless Wednesday visit www.5minutesformom.com

Mama's Champion
I've been a little neglectful of my blog the last few weeks....but it's because I'm the luckiest mom in the world! I have great kids....all of them are just incredible. So far all are athletes (thank goodness) and have let me live vicariously through them.
So today I'm going to dote on my second born... Cooper!
She's quite the stud and I absolutely 100% LOVE LOVE LOVE watching her play sports. Right now, we've been neck deep in her softball and I can't begin to tell you how much fun I HAVE been having...Yes, I have been having the fun!
Last year her softball team won the Florida State Little League softball championship in a cakewalk! From districts, sections, to state, they out scored their opponents somewhere in the ballpark of 70 runs to 5. It was incredible. We're talking 12 year old's hitting the ball out of the park kind of stuff!
This year, her team is back at it again. However, there's a little more excitement added to the package...this year, they can advance out of state to the Southern Regionals (West Virginia) and then to the World Series (Portland, Oregon). For the past 2 years these girls have played year round together in the hopes of making it to the '09 World Series. They have practiced HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS...played in oodles of tournaments and have managed to stay friends...best friends through it all.
Districts Champions - Done
Section Champions - Done
Florida State Champions - Heading out Thursday
I'll be enjoying this once in a lifetime opportunity so if I'm MIA, that's why! I can't miss a second of this amazing moment. But I'll try and keep y'all updated and keep your fingers crossed they make it through as the State Champions!!

Attack of the Feral Pigs!
Okay....so seriously, we have a problem! This past week we've woken up to pillaged earth in our yard. I mean, serious trench warfare going on....at first we had NO idea what the heck was going on, but have just found out that we are getting attacked by pigs during the night!
Don't let the little guy fool you.... Look what THEY did...
Can you believe that!?? So our neighbors are getting some roughing up too...they're native Floridians and say...it's a Pack. Probably a pack of Feral Pigs... Feral Pigs?? I just learned about Feral Cats (LOL...that's an entirely different story) It's an entire pack of Feral Pigs...We can't even be cool enough for Wild Hogs or Boar...no, we get the freaking feral pigs.
I know....they look harmless, but they're destroying our entire yard!! This just grosses me out...but it brings out my redneck...it's time to go hunting kids and get us some bacon!!! It's illegal to relocate them alive. A trapper cost $100's of dollars...maybe we'll call this kid.
