catch up... (sorry)

Sorry that I never take time to update. it seems to get harder & harder to get on here!! I constantly have kids on my lap (yes I know I'M THE BOSS and I can make them get off) but I'd rather be w/ them anyway!!! :(

So we'll begin w/ Christmas break!! I won't post pics from Christmas... all it is, is trash & gifts strewn about everywhere.
I, myself, enjoyed not getting up and having to get kids ready and so forth---- little did I know that Kevin would make us work the whole time, because he actually had a lot of days off!!

We had to CLEAN THE BACK YARD!! (and this was at the end of break...so we already had been doing things around the house forever)

Then we got the bright idea to paint the swing set!!! But who KNEW---that we had to primer it first?? Friday we painted the whole thing w/ primer - - then saturday we turned around and painted it red (burgundy).
We let all the kids help and Raegan decided she would paint the slide, the AC unit, and kierstens little chair! She had a blast =)

My Favorite QUOTE OF Christmas break:
per Dad/Kevin
" If YOU think you're going to spend your vacation time playing... YOU'RE WRONG! Vacation is for working!!! "




.

I have plenty more to post, but don't have time!! So I'll finish w/ my sweet little Raegan.. :(

She must like being dirty- - because EVERYTIME she has a bath.. she does CRAP LIKE THIS!!

THE END!

His quote is funny. Backyard looks good and the paint job made it look new. Looking forward to hearing more.

I think your backyard looks great. You can come clean mine up if you want. Then a vacation really would be working.

Diane, you have a very comfy couch, how is that my fault? :) Anyway it was fun to visit with you and you could have thrown stuff at me, I probably wouldn't have even noticed! I have been dreading blogging because I have so many pictures and so much to post. I'm still not finished with the time we spent in AZ. Argh!

Kiersten looks so pretty in that last picture--even with the lovely blue blob! Thos are cute photos of Father and Son working together. Sometimes my husband is a slave driver too--they love to get stuff done when they are home--better than not doing it! :)
