Yes I suck at posting

So I don't know why I'm not too interested in updating my blog but it hasn't registered high on my list of things to do lately. Posting always seems to take so much time and I don't have a long time window anymore when all the kids are good and when I do I try to use it for more productive things. Even though that's the case I still want to get back up on posting so I can look back on this time later and friends and family are starting to complain. So...

  • I have been tied up just raising the kiddos. Everyone of them is on their own schedule of things so it seems like my life revolves 100% around them, which is great but exhausting sometimes
  • Darren started a new job almost a month ago and while the pay is even more the hours are a bit longer and he is having to work a lot harder
  • Emmie finished up preschool and is enrolled for a charter school preschool for the next school year (her birthday is after the deadline so she's doing 2 years of preschool)
  • Emmie is in a starter baseball program right now and LOVES it. Darren and I take turns taking her each week which is a fun little outing for just her
Allison...wow what can I say about her... A LOT but I'll narrow it down
  • Allison is potty trained and has been for a while, she is a total nudist but is getting better about keeping her clothes on, she started climbing out of the crib so we bought a crib tent, she is the sweetest kid EVER but also so stinkin sassy and will kick her sisters butt when she gets wronged by her
  • Eliza is growing up too fast as kids tend to do the first year. She has started laughing more and it's awesome!
  • Darren and I joined an energy club and are getting healthy energy drinks each month as well as making some extra income off of that which is always nice
  • Darren and I went on a super fun date for his birthday last week and actually hired a babysitter and everything, which is a big deal for me. I can count on 1 hand the # of times I've had someone besides family or friends watch my kids

There's some things from the last little bit and here are some pictures of the girls
