Ummmm.......I've been busy?!

I have been thinking about blogging for a long time and was just going to start a completely new blog, but I signed in to blogger and my old blog came up....so what's old is new again! I haven't blogged in over 2 years. Wow. I'd say that's a little break. A lot has changed and a lot more is going to change and I really want to document it, so here goes! What has changed: Our family has grown. I am now the proud, proud, PROUD mommy to four beautiful children. We had another beautiful baby girl on January 16, 2012. Piper Marie is the apple of EVERYONE's eye at my house. Her big sister is IN LOVE and acts like Piper's mommy every chance she gets. Big brothers are so protective and do not let her cry for even 1 second. We are all in love. Emma is 9 years old and will be in the 4th grade. She is funny and silly. She marches to the beat of her own drum. I know that phrase is often used with a negative connotation but I mean it in the best way possible. She won't be influenced by what others think, do and say. She knows what she wants and that's what she wants. She is into music, drawing, fashion designing, volleyball, horse riding and Monster High. She also loves to read. She is growing up so fast. Love, love, love her. Tyler is 7 and will be in 2nd grade. He is so sweet and sensitive but also full of BOY energy. He is always on the go and doing something. He is my fixer. He can figure out a way to make anything and everything work. He loves baseball, football and shooting guns. He might give me the most 'hell' so to speak but the good far outweighs the bad and I just adore him. Bowen is 4 and will be in preschool. He is my shy, cautious boy. He is also the MOST stubborn. Just lately he has come out of his shell a bit and he is so silly and funny. He likes to be the BOSS and is always telling his brother and sister how they should do everything. He loves to dance and is really into hunting BIG FOOT! LOL. He is wonderful. I plan to post twice weekly from now on! There's just a little update from The Hawkins Family.
