Hello again!

Ok so I have been informed that I am severely behind on my blog! Lol We'll try to catch up a little :o) The kids are seriously growing like weeds. Cole is taller than me now and I suspect that when we take him to the movies or out to eat they probably think we are liars when tell them he is only 12. He is doing well in school and has switched from violin to percussion this year for some variety. Zane is keeping things lively around here with his early morning antics. So far this year he has dumped 2 boxed of cereal on the floor, a package of spaghetti, smeared peanut butter on the counter tops,the bathroom floor, the faucet and himself from head to toe and drawn all over himself with markers. He gets a kick out of giving himself tattoos and mustaches. He's spilled 2 half gallons of milk on the table and the floor and eaten packs of kool-aid. He's also covers his mama and sister with daily doses of hugs and kisses and loves to use Cole as a jungle gym. He loves to wrestle and go shopping with daddy every chance he gets. Gracie loves anything girly and pink. She is scared of cats and most dogs especially if they are black. Altho she keeps telling daddy that she wants a kitty. She loves to tell "scary" stories and gets a kick out of trying to scare people or having people jump out and surprise her. She loves to have her nails painted and style her own hair. She gave herself her first haircut this year which was followed by an even worse one at a "beauty" college. We took her for her third haircut of the week (and her life) and they did a wonderful job. Brady is once again working for Barrick Goldstrike out of Elko Nevada and commuting. He's home 3 days and works 4. It'[s a good company to work for and he likes the drive. Last year he hit an antelope and messed up his jeep pretty good. Luckily he was fine. Me and Missy, a friend of mine, took the kids on a midnight run to Elko to retrieve him and the jeep. It was quite the adventure! Then while driving the durango home from work one night he hit a cow and totaled it just on the other side of the mountains above Clarkston. He seems to be an animal magnet. He almost hit a huge bull elk in the road one night on the way to work. We went and got another jeep for him to drive back and forth. So far it runs good and he's had no mechanical issues. We enjoyed having him home for a week and a half for the Christmas holiday. And Me? I keep busy with the kids! Occasionally I get to read a book but usually only after the babies are in bed :)
