Well, hello there!

I don't even want to know how long it's been since I posted here. And every time I got the courage to come over and post something,I would get so overwhelmed by all the pictures and happenings I didn't post anything.
So today I decided, "you know what? I don't have to post all the pictures, and tell everything that happened. I'll just start with today!"
So here I am, on the Monday before Sam stars kindergarten( Yes, I'm freaking out, thank you very much), it's past noon, and my boys are playing some video games. I am reminiscing about all that didn't get done this summer( aka, my craft projects, more than anything) About the dresser that didn't get painted orange, and my sewing machine table that didn't get painted turquoise( I can't find the right color spray paint!!! ) and so on and so forth. But I am so happy about everything that we did this summer.
Sam turned 5, Daniel turned 2,  we had a great b-day party for them,and I love them more than ever! Sam just learned to ride his bike without training wheels. Daniel cracks me up every day with his clever 2 year old wit! I turned 26.....and I'm starting to feel old...er. Like my sister said, I'm closer to 30 than 20 now. But in truth , age doesn't bother me,at all...yet.
Oh, and yeah...We moved to Colorado!!!! Man, that in it of itself was crazy. Not to mention we decided to do it in a week, and we were moving two weeks later! Can you pack your whole house in two weeks? ummm, yes you can. With lots of help that is. And a purging conscience( we threw away a LOT of stuff) I could not have done it with out my family,and very good friends!Thank you all so much, we love and miss you so!
That said,we also made several road trips to Utah this summer.And we're not done yet, our last one is coming up next week. It's  a bitter sweet feeling. I will be there for 10 days, but my husband will only be there for three, and he will be working, then he flies to IN to see his family for a couple of days, and then be on a conference for work , then he will fly back to UT, pick me up, and we'll drive back home. One good thing, I wont be sitting at home alone! And I will get a chance to hit up all my favorite craft stores   ( hobby lobby,here I come!) and visit with friends, maybe even get a GNO!. Not to say, my boys get to play with their cousins( which they are more like brothers anyways)
Well, that is it for today, my boys timer is up ( yes I use the kitchen timer so tehy know when they're done with the video games) and a trip to Target awaits me!!! Hope yo see you soon, have a good Monday!

Here's a quick picture of the boys birthday, we had way too much fun with that rigged up Optimus Prime pinata! Thanks Connor for the pics, they are great!

We are leaving!

So, just to update really quick...we are getting ready to leave today. We planned on leaving around 1pm...but seeing how it's almost 2 and Shay just went to get the rental, we probably won't leave until about 3 or 4.We are excited to get going though....we will stop tonight, and keep going in the morning, putting us in Carlisle at about 6 or 7 tomorrow night.
By the way, this last week was my parents 36th Wedding Anniversary! And my mom's 55th birthday( sorry I made that public mom!) They are such an inspiration to me,it seems they are falling in love more and more each day. I am so proud of them for the strength they have had all through the years.
So, these are some pictures...the one on the bottom was my moms birthday( Shay couldn't help himself!!) and the one on top is everybody having dinner for their Anniversary. Congratulations Mom and Dad!
Indiana here we go!!! See you all soon!
