Yup, it's time...

So, I haven't sat at the computer in... well a long time. I feel the need to give at least a brief rundown of what's been up. So We'll start in the spring...
Arkansas is awesome for it's beautiful and easily grown plants. Here is the kids at the tulip festival.

Then life was boring for a while. Derek finished first grade and got awards for being top of his class in math and reading...

We hiked alot. Are you suprised?

Then we went to the beach. We saw battleships, fed seagulls, rode ferrys, saw mexico, visited lighthouses, and of course swam

Nico came shortly after. We went hiking, crystal digging, theme parking, and lazing around.

Then we took him to Kentucky, ate food we dont have here,and played. And you can't go to Kentucky without riding horses.

Nico then went back home, Derek started second grade, and I got ready for my first long trip without my kids... mini freak out attack, but they didnt die while I was gone, so that's good. Anyway, dad got married in september. The theme was awesome hats or hairflair...

Then Gina took JD, Monica and me to Big Bend National Park. It's awesome. Everyone should go there.

Cassie's fourth birthday happened next. It was horse themed. She had a wonderful time.

Which brings us to the present. We're on day 2 of Halloween. Halloween usually lasts at least a couple days around here. Here are the kids last night before going to the theme park. Today we have down town festivities and tomorrow Halloween.

I'm caught up. I feel better haha
