It has been an entire year that I have been at home with my kiddos this week. I have learned so much and have eaten so many of my own words. Here is what I have learned so far:
- That there could not possibly be a more rewarding job.
- There also could not be a more exhausting job.
- I don't get to watch Regis and Kelly everyday like I thought stay at home moms did.
- I have been amazed at how selfless I have become.
- I can't believe the messes that can be made in just a few hours at home.
- I have come to love watching Dr. Phil while I pick up during nap time.
- I can't remember the last time I went to the bathroom alone.
- I look forward to reading books, swinging, playing with toys, feeding babies, praying before naps, not missing milestones, cooking in the afternoons, and loving my babies all day long.
- The grocery store is SO much nicer at 10AM.
- That many days I am not sure I would make it through without Kristy, Jennifer, Brooke Kelly, and Emily. Thank you all so much for letting me jump in to your little playgroup!
The Bear played dress up with Bubba and Daddy. Sorry Guys!
Daddy and Kayleigh getting ready to go jogging. Kayleigh thinks she needs to stretch to sit in the stroller.
We have had several bunny nests in the back yard. I begged and begged, but Sean wouldn't let me keep one as a pet. 
Na Na giving Casen his dinner.
Kayleigh eating up the attention Matty and Amanda were giving her. They are having a tea party.

The Boys - Hayes and Casen
The Buddies- Abby, Mason, Selah, Kayleigh, Price, Giana, and Caleb (missing Aiden)
... but K-Bear and I were tired of having OUR hair pulled and eaten. so we sacrificed you.
Of the kids we play with most of the time, these two are the ONLY girls. They adore each other so much. We love "Gi-ya-ya!"

... and YES, she is wearing her PJ's and this was taken right before dinner.
Refusing to hold her basket at the Baylor egg hunt.
Caleb, Price, Selah, Aiden, K-Bear, Gianna, Caleb, and Abbie at the Boyd's farm.
Umm... you are running by all the eggs, K-Bear!
Good News: She was being very sweet and reading to Casen in his bed.
Of course we do it once, and now she asks every day.... rain or shine. She thought it was so much fun eating outside and waving at all of the cars that drove by.
While Sean enjoyed watching the Baylor men make their way to the Elite 8, the kids and I enjoyed a weekend in Huntsville. We had so much fun playing with the toys at Mimi's house, looking at pictures, watching The Frog Princess, going to see the ducks, getting attacked by geese, eating a fried stuffed avocado, hanging out with Kenny and Charlotte, bugging Muffin, shopping in Conroe, going to Petsmart, and generally just enjoying a full weekend together. Thanks for having us, Mimi!
This reminded me of the People of Walmart. Pretty sure that I have seen this SAME outfit there once or twice...
Yes, I am very behind on blogging....
