I'm back

I'm BACK!!! I woke up thinking about this blog this morning and how first I needed to write some more and second about how much easier it is for me to write things than to say them. Originally I said I was going to use this to talk about the things my kids say and do, but in addition to that I'm just gonna use it to take note of some of the things going on in our family and just to jot down my thoughts b/c like I said for some reason it is easier for me to write...So I woke up w/ a lot of worries in my heart. Mainly about money. Brad and I both love that I am able to stay at home w/ the kids and we both know it is not something we want to give up anytime soon. But with the direction things are heading w/ our government it is hard NOT to fear what will happen when we have a new president. Right now Brad makes good money, but what will happen when and if a new president takes over and brings all the troops home and starts w/ all of this biofuel?? I am not sure. Our whole lives, our families depend on the oil field. Brad's dad, my dad, and BRAD!! It is just really scary to think about for me. I guess I am just looking for something to worry about, but you have to admit that it's a pretty serious thing to worry about!?!?!?! It would be a BIG change in our lives if I ever had to go back to work, so I will just hope and pray that the oil field continues to thrive :)

On another note, the kids are doing great. Summer is fast approaching and they will be busy bees! We are gonna skip Mother's Day Out this summer. They are both going to take swim lessons. They are going to do soccer camp, kindermusik, Emma is doing cheerleading, dance camp and Vacation Bible School. I am not sure what we will do for fall. The Catholic preschool here goes 5 DAYS A WEEK, all day and I am NOT ready for that. So hopefully Friday when Brad is off we are going to tour some preschool's and check it out! Tyler's bday is Wednesday. It's VERY bittersweet for me. He will be 2. I won't have a baby anymore. But we are so proud of him. He is such a little man. He climbs and jumps and is just SO coordinated. He is talking in sentences and his vocabulary is getting bigger each day. So he is advanced for his age from what I have read about where he "should" be. I guess that's all!!
