Short and Simple

In March I was gone 12 out of 31 days for work. I know other people travel more, but almost half the month about killed me. I missed my kids, my husband, my pets, everything! I don't know how some people travel so much, it just takes such a toll on me. Since I've been gone so much I am just going to post some new pictures which sum up the last few weeks. I hope you all enjoy. Also, we want to say thank you to the Willden family, Hailey and I had a wonderful time with you guys and it is so great to have you all back in Hailey's life!!! When we left she asked if we could come back the next day :) We look forward to seeing all of you again very soon!

Hailey having fun with Aunt Lyndsay, Aunt Hillary, and Grandma Amy!

Our family outing to the bowling alley! It was Ike's first time :)

I hope you all enjoyed the picture, I will try to update more often!

Thank You Babysitters

This week sure was a long one! I was away auditing for the first half and when I came home, I hoped things would slow down, but no such luck. Work is INSANELY busy this time of year. I want to let all of you who have been our amazing and loyal babysitters, THANK YOU!!!  You are all amazing and we appreciate you more than you know. Your help in babysitting when I need to go out of town has made it so that I can stay home with the kids the other 90% of the time. I realized in this past year I had missed out on a lot with the kids while I was working away and am so grateful now for the opportunity to be with them this much and not miss out on all of the fun things the kids are doing, the doctors appointments, their learning new skills, and just their overall growing up. They only grow up once and it goes so fast, I guess I just want to keep telling you thank you, thank you, thank you, so that you know how much what you have done for us is appreciated!!!
Oh and here are some pictures of the kids from the past year or so and the things that all of you made it possible to be there for...

A fun day at the park!
