life is crazy sometimes....

well i feel as if there is no slowing down, EVER!!!! seriously it has just been go, go, go. a little preview of what has been going on. i made the girls easter dresses this year and yes they wore them on easter but no i have not even gotten a picture of them in them, yet. they turned out way cute and i am hooked on making skirts now. i think i am going to make them easter skirts every year. maybe even christmas skirts. we'll see. so i will get pictures of them in the skirts and i have a great post to do about easter weekend.

we just had a great ward activity last night in which my activity day girls participated in. we had our annual ward lip sync and the girls learned and performed the "hoedown throwdown" from the hannah montana movie. lisa and i learned it also, except being much older than them it took us four times the amount of time it took for them to learn it, and we also performed with them. jared begged and pleaded with me not to get up there and shake my booty for the ward but we did it anyway for moral support and i am so glad it is over. we had almost 100% attendance and managed to get all but one of our 17 girls there and performing. it was such an awesome night. hopefully i can get a copy of the dance. if i can i will try to post it.

for those of you who do not know we are having another child!!!! hahaha. not another baby but a 14 year-old. one of our babysitters in the ward is moving to virginia but she wanted to finish out the school year so she is staying with us for a month. we are so excited to have her. the kids can't wait to have an older sibling and i am looking forward to having a built-in babysitter. i am just kidding. she is a great kid from an awesome family and i am already worried that i am going to miss her like crazy when she leaves.

so i am going crazy in my house. i need to purge like crazy. there is way too much stuff around here and i feel like i am drowning. i don't even know where to begin. if anyone has any ideas for me or wants my crap please let me know. that's what i have been trying to do lately. but even when i think i have gotten somewhere, it is like one step forward twelve steps back. i feel like there is so much to do i don't even know where to begin.

sorry about this post. i guess i just need to rant. this probably doesn't make sense but oh well. this blog is one of my great goals once i can get my crap together around my house. i guess having #4 child has finally caughten up to me. i thought having #4, #3, #2, and #1 all together has not been bad but obviously something had to go when i brought an extra child home and next to almost losing my mind, my house has gone to the dogs (and the kids and the cat).

I didn't know about the girl living with you, that is so nice of you guys! I only have one child and feel life will never slow down so I can only imagine what it is like with 4!

I should send you these pictures of you the girls in the lip sync. I got one of you, but it turned out blurry. :(

I almost threw up when you said you were having another child... NOT because I thought you couldn't handle it but because I was SO surprised. That will be fun to have her. I laughed all through this post. I MISS YOU!
