Ok so it's been a while...

I know I never got around to the Chicago trip blog and now I'm slacking on just the "normal" stuff and those who know me...know "normal" has been redefined. "Normal" is running around everyday of the week with my kids. Well these last few weeks since I've been home...(month even) has been no different. I came home to Spring Break for the kids. My twins welcomed me with the flu...sick in bed almost ALL WEEK. They were mad I guess when you get a week long illness you are supposed to get to miss school not miss your week off school. We were still in the middle of boys club basketball which by that point...I was over! Bren however was not...he loved it. We also kicked off softball and baseball and of course soccer. Bren was involved in 3 sports and it was chaotic. Saturday is his last soccer game and all the bruises from boy's club basketball are healed. Justin and Jeremy are fine. Jere is finishing up AP stuff and getting ready for end of the year trips and exams. Justin is enjoying a leadership cell group and really growing in Christ. Adrienne tried out and made the volleyball team...which I'm still not sure how I feel about that. She is in the process of trying out for basketball. She is also playing softball. She is a center fielder and she loves that position. Bren is playing baseball and has found a new love for it. He is still going to be a baseball player when he grows up...as well as an artist, firefighter and a police officer...by that time he will be used to be so busy and may be able to pull it off! I got to celebrate a friend of mine's birthday and hang out with her and some of the youth from our church it was amazing and I got to eat at Fuji's which was a very fun experience. We have been having so much at our Lifechange on Wednesdays it just keeps getting better and better every week. I've barely had time to look up much less sit down and blog...I'll leave you with some pics...and will blog soon about my husbands new shift...he will be home with us from now on at nights and not miss all the games and fun and I might get to cook dinner more. I'm not sure how I will do or how easy it will be but I know God is in Control so it will be just fine. Well we had a Passover Dinner at our church and after we and by we I mean my whole family and 3 extra kids/teens Micah, Andrew and Jarred went to a friends house and dyed eggs and they decided to smile for a photo op. Well I just thought this was too cute to not take! They dressed alike and on accident of courseThis is Bren and his friend Tucker...they played against each other and I can't wait for them to be on the same team.
Ok I saved the best for last...this was Bren's first attempt at a practical joke. Notice the Crunch Berries...and then Notice what's in the bowl (Frosted Flakes). Bren switched the bags and Justin was the victim. He was not all that happy about his lil brothers attempt at humor! Thank you Disney Channel for giving him that idea...I got a good laugh out of it of course...I always look into the box before I pour my cereal...and I dont know why I do that.

Conspire...our trip to Chicago!

Well I lost my whole Chicago blog somehow...not sure so I promise Im going to make a slideshow when I figure out how and post about it...Sorry long story short I had a blast I don't want to live there but it was fun and poppy seed buns are pretty good. I also love my husband and we may survive after our kids leave the nest. :D
