Toot! Toot!
I'm a total blog slacker lately. We are pretty much getting to the point of being organized and unpacked in our new house. We are absolutely loving it. I feel so grateful to be in such a nice house at such a young age. It's nice to be in a home that we feel like we can stay in until we downsize one day.
So, what's been happening around here???
Audrey had her teacher conference today, and she is doing amazing. I was worried about moving her schools again, but she is so adaptable and bright, and I just love her two teachers. They seem to really recognize the different needs of each student and they are catering to their students levels. I couldn't be happier with Audrey's education.
Sadie has started Joy School. Myself and 9 other mom's have organized a preschool for our 10 children. We are teaching in teams of two, two months out of the school year. We have some great kids in the group and helping them learn is so much fun. I'm thinking about substitute teaching here and there, just because I love it so much.
Porter is running everywhere. His vocabulary is exploding right now. His sisters were excellent talkers, and I didn't think he would speak to their level but he is starting to prove me wrong. I feel like life is moving much too fast with him right now. I fear my baby day's are quickly slipping away, so I am trying to enjoy every last moment I can get with his chubby little toes and cheeks.
Mike spent some time in Canada for work and really enjoyed to cultural differences. We are heading down to the dunes in the am for some quality family camping time and he's worked hard to get us ready for our trip. I can tell he is ready to get away again.
As for me, I spent a weekend up in Park City with the girls from LittleDreamerDesigns.com for a digital scapbook get away retreat. It was so much fun to put faces with names to so many ladies I have only communicated with on the computer. Michelle, our host, took our photo's and she is an awesome photographer. I think it's little weird to post a pic of myself, but it's not to often you have a professional photo taken of yourself, so I wanted to share. She did an amazing job.
Well it's off to sleepy time so I can get up and go camping! Happy Weekend!

Summer Update
Woah, I'm long overdue for an update. I suppose my mom would like to see something beside her birthday post reminding her how old she is this year! Sorry mom, love ya!
We have been playing so hard, I've barely had time to post. Let's see if I can catch you up.
I've already posted about the dunes, and a tiny blurb on Texas, of which my camera was found! Wahooooooo!!!!! Then we spent the Fourth of July at Flaming George, and then up to Pineview the week after. The next week we were off to Chucke Cheese's, a movie and then swimming on base and then swimming at the rec center. So, I think you get the point. Summer is definately my favorite season! You want to get together, give me a call, we love to get out!!!
Here are a few pics to enjoy til next time!
Pink Floyd Concert...

Nifty to be Fifty
Well, it's official, 12:05 am and my mom is now 50 years old. Happy Birthday Mom!
The older I get, the younger birthday's such as 40 and 50 seem to be. My mother and I are so close in age, she's often felt more like a sister and a friend than just my mother. Most people generally do mistake her for my sister. So mom, here's to you at 50, you've always had youth and beauty on your side, and no stinking over the hill birthday will ever be able to take that away from you! I hope you enjoy this day and many years to come! May you always look more like my sister than my mother!
