Sometimes Life Just Takes Over

I am sure that I am not the WORST blogger, but I am damn close. Life has been far from calm these days and since my last blog post in November of 2012 (wow thats a long time ago)...a lot of changes have gone on. Mostly in the sense that our kids our bigger, our lives are busier and our sanity and patience is thinner (along with RC's hair). I won't even try to go into detail of what you have missed and I wouldn't even bother adding pics for all these months IF I didnt love to come back here and see what's gone on. So for the sake of time...here it is...

Recap of our last 7 months! 

- Neya had a Thanksgiving Play and she was fabulous playing her little pilgrim lady!

- Gabe (my bro) and I ran our first Turkey Day 5k in San Francisco and it was super fun!

- Made cookies in a jar with the kids for our thanksgiving day guests that were going to come over!

- Had Turkey Day (After) at our house and all the usual suspects showed up. So fun!

- Dentist Trips for the girls, Rian still has to work up the nerve to go, I know bad mother!

- Welcomed Carrl our elf. Thanks Tiffany Snook for bringing this tradition into our house!

Okay well that doesnt really seem like we did very much when you read it all out like that but that is just the high level stuff. Ugh! IF I listed everything out we might be here forever. Other things to note is that I have let Cakes go to the wayside while we tackle life by the horns. Its been good. I did my first cake in 3 months and although a bit of a struggle mentally it was nice to get back in the groove with some help from RC. Yes people, he helped bake a cake! Go figure! 

Okay well, here are the pics from everything and for the sake of not having to really organize them I am going to just upload and they will most likely  not be in any particular order. SORRY!
