And the summer fun is in full swing! We thought school would never end, but it did, it did! Though, we only get a short summer this year so we are squeezing it dry for every last drop of fun. The creek is a local fun hangout that we all enjoy. We plan this several times each summer with different friends and family. This time all their cousins happened to come so that was way fun:) BryleeAnne is loving the water and getting a little scary with her bravery for it! We are definitely keeping a close eye on that girl;)

First Some Current Pics

So these are our "lil" family on vacation a week ago and current pics of our garden, etc.

Although I Wanted to Catch You All Up Through Pictures

Its just not gonna be possible! I may get off my lazy bones one of these days and save a ton of pics from the past year off my facebook so I can post them to you all here. These were our November 2012 Family photos. So much has happened this past year. Babies are turned toddler, pre teens are turning teen, toddlers turning kid, kids turning pre teen. That sort of thing :)

I think I May Have Forgotten How to Blog

        I know the title sounds hilarious, but seriously. Its been like 1 post in the last year. I realized the other day that I need to get back at it. Time is still precious and occupied with raising so many babes, but I love having a record of our day to day and a journal of my thoughts. Its always fun to look back through the years at feelings I was having, seeing where I have grown and where I am still standing there in the exact same place. Blogging is such a great way to reflect. I am hoping to get busy and dive back in!
