Okay so I am "Lazy"

Okay, so I know I haven't exactly been keeping you up to date on our lives. But we are just busy with kids and life. I am keeping two kids now and adding a third in a couple of weeks. I have Darby who is three and Madilynn who is 10 months, It is just like having two sets of Twins.....I know I may sound crazy, but they are really so good together and really enjoy each other. I have been busy with them. It's like working 48 hours a day. HA HA! I really enjoy being home with my babies. It has been nice to really get to know them and to have them attached to my hips and legs and back. I know that someday they will tell me they hate me and they won't want to give me the constant attention and kisses and hugs. So i try to enjoy all of them now. Jake has been getting ready for Turkey season. He is really excited this year. I hope he does well and gets a couple birds. He has been practicing his calls and checking their roost out. He has been busy working all the over time he can get. We are just glad he still has a job. His schedule is changing again so they are going back to 8 hour shifts again. But maybe it will be like last time and they will get to work the 12 hour weekends which means 48 hours of overtime on each check...That is something to look forward to. I am glad I am able to stay home because if I worked I don't know if I would get to spend any time with him. We are doing great. Our relationship as a couple has really strengthen since I had Tripp. I am so grateful to my wonderful family. I had a chance to go to Utah and spend some time with my sister Misty and her kids. What an awesome experience that was. I was so glad she asked me to watch her kids while she went on a Cruise. I was able to build a stronger bond with my nieces and nephew that I don't get to see very much. I was also able to spend some one on one time with Misty and that was so nice. I love my family and miss her so much. We were always close growing up. I got to see my sister Tammie and her kids at Kevin and Jolene's and that was nice. Jennifer and Brad and kids came too and it was nice to get together and visit and just spend some time as a family. Jay came down to stay one night with me at Misty's and we had a really good time staying up late and talking. It was nice to talk to her and visit with just her. Too bad I didn't get to with Tammie...but she works like crazy and couldn't. But maybe next trip. Daddy gave us a scare this year. He has never been sick before really my whole life and since he has had prostate cancer he has a lower immune system and he got Shingles on the right side of his face and in his right ear. They were in his mouth and they caused him great pain and they gave him Bales Palsy on that side of his face. He look like he had had a stroke. He is doing 90% better and that makes me grateful everyday. We had a close call with Jake's Granny. We almost lost her a couple of times. She is doing great now and is in a rehab place. She will come home next week. She isn't allowed to stay by herself so she is moving in with Mrs. Brenda. I am so glad that she will be close now and we will get to see her more often. It was nice to spend some time with her this weekend. Well the kids are doing great. Tripp is army crawling and pulling up on everything and cruising around the couch and bed. He is growing so fast. He eats everything. He loves his mama and daddy and Kenzie very much. Kenzie is almost three. She is very smart and she has a great memory and imagination. She is very much a girly girl and loves princess's. She is a good big sister. She is getting to go to preschool in August and is so excited.
