Back at it
I last posted over 2 years ago...and that wasn't even MY post. How did I get hubby to actually post on my blog? Oh right...we were literally newlyweds, married for only 2 months. No wonder. I've decided to once again make an attempt at keeping friends and family up to date with our happenings. Fingers crossed I can keep up with this blog. Lord knows I can barely keep up with my own family. It may seem that Facebook is the most convenient way to keep up with each other, but I'm looking for a more private venue. Someplace I can tell it like it is. Basically I don't want my kids stocking my every move. Turns out any time I post something cute about my children, I am confronted with "MOM! Why did you say that? Don't post about me. You're so embarrassing. Don't talk about me. Don't....." Whatever dude. I try to explain to those little nuggets that without me, they literally wouldn't exist so I can say whatever I want to say about them. Somehow that doesn't help. The truth is that I adore them, love talking about them, and find much humor in our very nontraditional Brady Bunch of a home we have here. Laughter is what keeps it real around here.
Alyssa and Katelynn are knee deep in competitive cheer. Yes, like the cheer you see on CNN, only cuter. They are LOVING it, and I am totally that cheer mom that is screaming bloody murder in the stands holding posters wearing a homemade tshirt with fabric paint spelling out my girls names.
Sweet Camryn remains sweet at easy (yes, I said it, easy). Girl is happy with a paint brush or a book in her hand. Praise the Lord. She is the quiet in our storm of life.
As thanksgiving approaches I am reminded of all the many things I have to be thankful for this year. The big daddy of them all is the opportunity Jeremy gave me to quit my career in order to stay home with my sweet girls. It has been a challenge to get used to all the laundry that stares me down every day, but I am so SO SO thankful for this life change. It has been the biggest blessing I've received since...marrying that boy. I'm so looking forward to the holidays this year! I can hardly wait to pull out the Christmas decorations. Incidentally, we have had one cold day this season, which gave me a slight glimpse into what winter may hold for me. It includes PJ's, a bed and a remote control for 9 hours. I cannot WAIT for this!

5 Things about Me
1. I can't think of 110 things.
2. I snore, which causes my wife endless frustration.
3. Shelly is my perfect match, which is good cause we're married.
4. I'm already struggling to think up more things.
5. I'm the biggest chicken in the world, and I have anxiety about everything including taking anti-anxiety pills.

First Week of School
We're half way through the first week of school and things are going great. Katelynn loves middle school, which we are thrilled about. Alyssa has one of her best buddies in her class. And, Camryn has all her pals in her class.
Of course, Camryn got stuck sitting next to Spencer The Jerk. On the first day of school, he pushed her head down as he walked by her desk. I've determined it's time to teach Camryn how to show a boy who's boss (a.k.a. kick him in the junk).
Shelly and I have gotten into a nice routine this year as well. She takes Alyssa and Cam to school, and I take Katelynn and the neighborhood kids to their school. Since middle school starts after Shelly has to be at work. After school, the neighbors pick up Katelynn from middle school, and I walk home with the girls from their school. Overall, it's worked out really well so far.

A note from Camryn
Today we got to babysit baby Emmy. Tomorrow is the last day of dance class. We get to do our performance. If you want to come, it's in Plano. There is hip hop and kind of ballet and jazz. I think you'll like it. After dance tomorrow, we will go swimming and I will watch TV. Good night.

a great week
For the past two days, and for the rest of the week, I am going to dance camp. I loved it!! I had fun both days. I really wish Katelynn was home. Yay, I'm going to church camp! I am so excited.
Love Camryn
