Time...

Why is it that time passes so much faster when you're older than when you were a kid? 

The older I get the faster it seems to go.  I so don't get it.  Maybe it just passes the same but when you are a kid you are always looking forward to something big...last day of school, Christmas break, your birthday and your lack of patience makes it seem like the days just drag on forever (unless its summer break and the first day of school is there before you blink) and when you're older you have developed your patience much better than when you were little and well with work and kids and bills and everything else on your grown up plate its really kinda hard to look forward to those "big" days right?  I mean because if we're looking forward to Christmas we worry about the money we are going to end up spending, if we look forward to summer break well then we just have to worry about how to keep the kiddos entertained and safe while we work and well what grown up really looks forward to their birthday I mean who wants to get yet another year older.  So we don't look forward to much to make the days seem as if they are dragging and then here we are wondering where all this time has gone.  While we were busy being grown ups the fun stuff we use to love just slips by the wayside barely getting noticed and the days have flown by us like we were standing still.

That is what seems to be going on in my house these days.  We are all so busy that we haven't really been taking the time to enjoy what God has put before us.  Don't get me wrong, we have been doing stuff.  Stephen and I got to take a cruise, we have all been fishing with my dad a few times, Britt is playing softball again this year and lots of other things.  I have been too busy just going with the flow that I have not made time to write in my blog in about a month and a half.  I miss it. 

This is what has me asking why time seems to fly.  It seems like I have no time to blog these days.  I know I have said it in the past that I am going to be better about blogging more frequently and I do well for a bit and then we get busy and I slow to a near stop.

I do recall posting at the beginning of the year that I would write when I could because we were too busy enjoying life and we have been.  But part of my enjoying life is getting to blog.  It is relaxing and lots of fun.

Keep your eyes open for new stories about our many adventures.  the ones from the past as well as all the adventures we have yet to have.

Thanks for reading.

Have a fantastic Wednesday

Wonderful waste of time

 I tried to warn you that I had so much to tell you... So We have been spending so much time at the hospital with my dad.  I mean we were all there for several days (now we are taking turns-he's doing well and we had to go back to work).  And you know how it is everyone brings something to keep them busy so that they can ward off boredom.  Well Val had been using one of those round loom things that you can knit hats and such.  She had made herself one and while there her knitting caught the attention of one of my nieces (Katie) and she wanted to know how to make one for herself.  So Val being excited to show someone sat down with her and gave her the loom and some yarn and helped her along.  That girl made her whole hat.  She loves it and wears it everywhere already.  Before we knew it Haleigh was in on learning to make hats.  They were having such a good time knitting away while visiting with their papa and all his company.  ...

A new year

Ugh!  I have started and deleted this blog entry more times than I care to admit. :)  I have so many things floating around in my mind that I want to write about that I keep jumbling them all up on the page and they are not making sense to me so I am sure you will not have a clue what I am saying...babble, babble, babble... Anyway maybe this one will work for us all. The new year.  2012  Wow.  I am getting so old, I don't ever recall thinking this far in to the future when I was a kid except maybe when I watched movies with flying cars and hoovering skate boards and such thinking it would be neat to have a flying car.  but here we are still living a pretty normal life without all that stuff. I chuckle a little when I think of all the things I enjoy, these things certainly don't "fit" the year 2012 as the movie writers would write it. Because I don't want a flying car, I think it would be fun to ride a horse everywhere or have a covered w...

My baby girl

 found this pic, not sure but I believe she was 3 April 12th (yes i know it is the 13th now)...This date in 1999 we welcomed into the world our sweet baby Britt.  She had a bit of a rough time in the first week, but wow look at her now.  She is 12.  Cant believe she is already almost a teen. (yuck)  We were so spoiled with Val that when Miss Britt came along she set our world on edge.  Thats right, she was quite a mess(not sleeping throught the night even to this day she sleep walks) But you wouldn't meet a sweeter, kinder girl.  She has the biggest heart.  Ive been thinking alot about her today with reason, it was after all her birthday.  She got to bring her horse to our pasture this week inlight of her day, so she didn't really seem to mind that I had to work and she had a softball game on her birthday.  As long as she gets to play with Ladybug alittle before the day is over.  She is now fast asleep in her bed(for now)...
