its finally colling off!

its cold outside right now! i went to pick preston up from youth group and almost grabbed a sweatshirt! today was so beautiful, i think we will actually be wearing pants soon, im ready to break out the ruffles i have stashed away for payton and my boys have 2 giant sized bins in the garage stuffed with winter clothes, its great the boys can pass stuff down to each other! i have a gap sweatshirt i bought kyler when he was around 7 or so and this year (7 years and 2 kids later) collyn will be able to wear it, the great thing is it looks like new still, even after a gazillion washings. so i guess i got my moneys worth out of that sweater along with so many other pieces of clothing i have been able to save and pass down. i guess sometimes it pays off just a little to be clothing obsessed, yes i admit i am and i dont care who knows it! speaking of clothing.......my awesome trading assistant is selling off paytons 09 fall/winter stash everytime i go back something else has sold, im like dang what a great job she did with those auctions! anyway back to reality....i have pneumonia and im feeling pretty crappy, but the dr. i have is so nice and she gave me some great stuff to take tonight! ohhh yeah!

im failing to blog the most important moments of life

i should make this a bigger priority but with 5 kids im spread so thin and it seems like im constantly busy. i recently watched a movie called motherhood and it was so hilarious and i was able to relate w/ it completly. anyway payton and i were swimming yesterday and i was swimming toward her pretending to be a shark and she was screaming and laughing but she got a little overwhelmed and said wait mom, pause, so everytime she wanted to stop she said pause which i thought was really cute, where did that come from anyway?

Happy Birthday Payton Grace!!

happy birthday to my sweet 4 year old girl! i cant believe she is 4 already! it makes me so sad because im not ready for her to grow up, i know too well how fast it goes, and no matter how much i want her to stay little it isnt going to happen, so all i can do is enjoy her to the fullest! i think im going to die when she goes to kindy next year, ill be the mom hanging on the fence crying while she runs to play with her friends not even noticing im there, ill be waving frantically yelling bye honey and she wont hear me, ill be trying to get her attention and she'll be laughing running and having a great time with her new friends, yes im one of those moms!
