Shout to The Lord American Idols on Idol Gives Back

I think this is awesome, and they performed it so well.

To all that still actually come to this site, betcha thought I forgot about ya!!! Well I haven't, I just haven't had that much to write about. Life has been the same old thing. This week is Spring Break. We are not doing too much. The pollen is just horrible and kicking our butts. I was diagnosed with asthma so I am trying not to go out too much. Steven is so bored cause I won't let him go out too much. He seems to be fine with the pollen, I just don't want him out there breathing it all in all day, every day. And if you know Steven then you know how bored he is. That boy loves the outdoors. Matthew and Kendall seem to be as affected by the pollen as I am so let's just say we should be buying stock in Kleenex and saline nose spray right now.

Should make for an interesting birthday party. He has chosen to have his party at the park where we seem to have all out parties. It is an "Extreme Sports" theme. He loves skateboarding, bike riding...well like I said before he LOVES the outdoors. I can't believe he is almost 8 years old!!

In about a week and a half we are planning a trip to Folly Beach for one of Brian's cousin's wedding. They are getting married on the beach at 6:00pm. Sounds beautiful. I can't wait to get some pictures. Heck, I can't wait to go to the beach and listen to one of God's greatest creation. THE OCEAN. I just love the beach. It seems that Folly Beach is now our place to go too. I doesn't have the clear blue waters of Panama City, but it does have some great waves to ride, even though I can't catch one to save my life.

On the job front I have quit my job for next year at the preschool. I just wanted to be closer to home. Both Brian and I drive to Smyrna everyday and it is impossible for us to carpool. So we have to put gas in both of our vehicles at LEAST once a week. Not to mention the wear and tear on both cars. I have enrolled Matthew in the PRE-K program at First Baptist Church of Dallas. It is about 2 minutes from the house. I have also put in a job application there too. It is a nice place and Matthew already knows one little girl there. Our neighbor Mandy. Also, it will be a nice opportunity for him to get to know kids in the area he lives in. Especially before he starts Elementary school. (YIKES won't go there!)

So as of right now I do not have a job for next year. I plan on slowly putting out the word that I will be doing scrapbooks for people who love scrapbooks but don't have the time or want to do them themselves. I am also interested in party planning. So start spreading the word for me please.

Kendall is growing like a weed. At her 15 month check up (which she was actually 16 months cause I didn't make an appointment early enough) she was just under 3 FEET TALL. If she keeps growing at this rate she will be taller than me by her 2nd birthday!!! She is so smart. She is my ball of energy too. Her personality is a good combination of both of her brothers. She likes to be the center of attention (Steven) but is also content with playing by herself (Matthew). She is doing a little bit of baby sign language. I never really did it with the boys because I didn't see the point. Now I really wish I would have. It is really starting to help us to understand what she wants. She is at that age where she knows what she wants and can sort of tell us, but not where we completely understand what it is that she wants. She doesn't know a lot of signs yet but we are learning together. It is quite interesting actually.

Brian is still Brian. There really isn't much new to report on him, but I couldn't leave him out of this post since I talked about everyone else. That wouldn't have been nice=)

Wow, this turned out to be a rather long entry. Thank you if you made it to this point. I will update later on Steven's party and our weekend beach trip. Love you all!!!!
