Really Not Good At This Anymore

So I am REALLY horrible at this blogging thing these days. Not sure why...life gets busy. Just wanted to say that all is well and give updates on what everyone is doing. Pictures will follow as soon as I can find my camera, haha
Steve- my wonderful husband is such a hard worker. He's working 2 jobs, so 50+ hours a week, and he still comes home and works hard on his "honey do" list. He's been happy to have played golf a few time this spring and has started playing early morning basketball with his brother and a few buddies. He's also excited to be riding in the MS 100 bike ride next month.
Laura- I've kept busy with the kids and keeping up with the house. Have found that I am IN LOVE with Zumba and attend classes 3 to 4 times a week. It's been a great stress release for me and fills my need to go dancing (since I have a husband that hates going dancing, haha). Steve and I also ran in The Race for the Cure at the beginning of the month (along with my sister). Steve finished in 23 min, a 7 min. mile. Em and I finishing in just under 30, a 9.5 min mile. For being the first time I'd really run all season, I feel pretty good about that. Other than that we've been busy with projects around the house, working on church callings and just figuring out how to make it through our days happily.
Tessa- She is becoming quite the little lady and quite the diva. Trying to find her place in the family and figuring out what the roll of the big sister is. She's my mani/pedi buddy and it's been fun to have our "date nights" together. She's very excited to begin kindergarten in August! I can't believe she's old enough to even go to school!
Beckham- he is my trial in life right now, haha! I love him dearly and he's a joy and so much fun when he's happy, but this little man has a side of anger and attitude that I couldn't even begin to tell you where it comes from. Beck is a daddy's boy for sure. He adores Steve and follows him everywhere, like a little puppy almost. I am grateful for the glimpse of the funny, happy guy every now and then just take his other side one fit at a time. I can only pray this is something he'll grow out of.
Will- he is my doll! But he too has his moments where I feel I could give him away and not feel bad about it, haha! It's so fun to watch him figure out new things. He's a champ at walking now and tries his hand at running, which is pretty funny to watch. He loves to play with Tess and Beck and, I'm happy to say, they are really great about including him in their games. He's figured out that he LOVES being outside and he will try to ride and/or push anything he sees that has wheels on it.
In all, our family is doing well. Each day is a new adventure...sometimes good, sometimes bad. But we do our best the manage through. I am grateful to be a mother and thankful to have a wonderful man in my life to share all the joys and heartache that we're hit with. We feel so blessed and happy to be in our home and in the neighborhood we're in. We are surrounded by wonderful friends and family. And though we (I) may try and find it, we have no reason to complain, life is good :o)
