Love this pic!!!

I realize it's been a looonnnnnggggg time since i've posted anything, but we have been a little busy!!! We have moved back to Chandler in July and still getting in the groove. Hopefully this will be the last move for a very long time :/ We are so happy to be back and have enjoyed getting reaquanted with old friends. Carley is now a JUNIOR in HS and Macie is in the 7th grade big JR.Higher!!! Carley is now driving and has now mastered a stick shift transmission...but not before her lovely sister named her car the "silver staller"....lol!!!

Our Temporary House in the Hills!

Moving!!!!!

Well...we moved AGAIN!! We are now in Las Cruces, NM....back to the Land of Enchantment!! I have now started to believe that the Lord knows we like adventure and change, so He puts us in situations where we can accomplish that!! It has definatley been an adjustment. The girls had to start school where they didn't know anyone. Many tears have been shed this week, but I'm happy to say that the first week ended on a happy note. Both girls have made friends and been able to find all their classes (Macie was so...nervous about that, since she is now in Jr. High). Carley is going to her first dance (doesn't take long...lol), it's called the "Winter Ball". Another excuse to go shopping!!! Macie has started taking dance (which they offer in school) and LOVES it! I absolutely LOVE my new job....STAYING HOME!! It is awesome to be able to pick the kids up from school & have that quality time talking about their day and being able to cook nice meals without feeling stress! I'm hoping that I will never get fired...lol!

Homecoming 2009

Carley went to her first homecoming with a group of friends....She had a BLAST! I am quoting her..."I never want to go with a date...friends is the best way to go"...ha ha...we will see how long that lasts! I do however agree with her. As you can see she is "15" going on "25", that girl just looks too OLD! I hate it that she's growing up. Makes me so sad.

School Started AGAIN!!!

I can't believe we are already almost done with the first quarter of school! Even though I'm late I'm posting pics of the girls on their 1st day! They are so beautiful..I'm a little partial to them though...Carley is already a SOPHMORE!!! And Macie is in 6th GRADE! It is going so...fast! I wish they could stay little forever but I am truly having JOY in this journey with them!

Ok....it's been awhile! Like almost a year since my last entry! I've been really busy...what can I say. We have a new addition to our family....our baby Jake..He is now 7 months old! We have had our ups & downs with training...but for the most part he is a delight to have around :)

Happy Halloween!!

Halloween was a fun time! We went to some friends house. Carley & Macie had fun hanging out with friends. Macie and her friends decided to dress up as the "Alice in Wonderland" crew. After all the planning they discovered they didn't have an "Alice". It just wouldn't be right to not have an "Alice". So thank goodness for a big sis. to step in and be a good sport, yes Carley played the role. She was perfect for the position. As you can see Macie was the "Queen of Hearts", except after watching the movie again, I have to say she was a much prettier version. I'm still not sure if the original queen was even a woman.
