I am a mother of four, I have 3 boys and 1 girl. Our 2 younger boys struggle with a speech delay that we are working on. With that being said, things can get a bit chaotic around here and frustration levels rise. Living and learning with these boys and the speech delays has taught me patience and a whole new understanding that people see things in so many different ways. I am a stronger person because of this and feel blessed to have these little angels. I am married to a fabulous man and am living a happy life!

Busy busy busy.....

Well I thought it was time I do a new post.  Things have been going pretty crazy around here.  We are getting ready for our big move and I am just now realizing how much there is to really do.  I have been going thru closets, toys, clothes, baby stuff, etc.  The snow has finally melted in our backyard and the kids have been having a lot of fun playing outside.  The only problem with that is the fact that Sebastian wants EVERYONE to go outside and play with him, if I am not out there then he is whining.  Oh boy, I am sure our neighbors like LOVE that!
Here are just a few pictures of the little guys outside..

They love to jump on the trampoline and play on the swings.  They have found a new interest....MUD PUDDLES!  Yikes! 



I only have a few picutres because Gabe broke my lens on my camera.  He LOVES cameras and loves to take pictures.  Well I left my camera in his reach and he came walking up to me with my Nikon hanging from his neck saying "take a picture, take a picture".  Argghhh, how could I have left it in his reach?  Austin says "Mom, look how cute Gabe is, he was walking around downstairs like this pretending to take pictures."  Well I panicked and quickly took it away from him and put it away.  The next day Gabe was eating a blue sucker and his face was all blue and he looked a bit silly so I wanted to take a picture, I took out my camera, turned it on, tried to zoom in and the lens was so stiff to turn and it wouldn't focus at all!  Great, my camera is broken!  I took out another lens and tried it on the camera and it worked just fine but this lens has a higher zoom and I can't really use it for regular close range pictures.  I had to stand super far away from the kids to take these pictures.  I took my broken lens into a repair shop and the guy was able to straighten it out but it was still pretty stiff, oh well.  So I thought anyway, I just now pulled out my camera to take a picture and it won't focus!  UGH!  I guess I will be getting a new lens :(

While going thru a bunch of stuff I ran across Vinnie's old camera and showed it to Gabe.  He is in heaven!  He loves this thing.

Austin is doing great!  He is excited about the move one day and the next he is really sad about it and doesn't want to move.  He said that he wishes he could take all of his friends to Utah with us or move our entire family here.  Poor guy, I know how hard this is on him, 11 years old is a tough age to move away from your friends especially since he has a girlfriend, and feel like you are starting all over again.  Thank goodness for technology, he can keep in touch with all of his friends thru email and of course texting.  I swear that kid texts more in one week than I have in my whole life.  I think just last week alone he had over 1600 text messages.  Good thing we have unlimited texting on our plan. 
I think he will be fine once we get all moved in and situated.  He is pretty excited about his new space downstairs.  He can't wait to pick out new bedding and get his bedroom and his gameroom all decorated.

Abby is doing just great!  She is so cute and so smart!  She is quite the partier though, she stays up til all crazy hours.  It sure makes it hard on us to sit and relax at the end of the night when she doesn't want to go to sleep. 

Well I guess I had better get back to cleaning and organizing and preparing for our move...*sigh*
