Hi all!! I am having blogger issues, as having two comments isn't that encouraging each time I check back!! Lol!! Not that the two of you who comment don't matter! Occasionally I hear a verbal comment about the blog and then I know someone has read!!
Anyway, a little update.
Ryan is on his second day of his second set in Tumbler Ridge. My awesome brother saved me the drive and drove him back yesterday. Gabe cried and cried that his daddy was leaving, but he's okay now that he's gone again. My house is still in the shambles, and honestly, I am too tired to care! Lol!! The money is good, but I tell ya, I could spend it all without even noticing. It is taking some serious discipline to have a savings and still live frugally. I hate it!! I keep telling myself that it's the wise thing to do, and one day I'll be glad, but MAN- I want what I want NOW!!! Why oh why was I born in a generation of buy-it-before-you-can-afford-it???
I sorted through Seth's baby toys yesterday, and I am aching with the reality that I no longer need them. In fact, we are very close to not having any toys left in the living room, as he can take himself downstairs and play in the toyroom. My BABY!!! I really think I could have babies forever, just to avoid the 'last times'. If you've never read the book by Karen Kingsbury "Let me hold you longer", check it out. Mind you, some of you are celebrating getting out of the baby stage. How do you do that? I guess it'll be great to not have to pay for diapers, but then I won't get to cuddle that cute belly button five times a day!! Ah well, I'm sure I'll be okay.
Im in the process of getting the kids switched to an 'earlier bedtime, earlier morning' schedule. I figure if I'm up anyway, with Seth, they may as well be up, and then they will all go to bed and give me peace and quiet earlier in the evening. Besides, school time is creeping up on us! Yahoo!! (Ahem- I mean- *sob) How come I'm not grieving Emma going to Kindergarten?? Haha!!
Hmmm, now I am being man handled by the afore-mentioned Emma. She is SOOOO needing extra attention right now. So I should go. Love ya!!
P.S. If you have no comment. Just say 'hi' anyway. Really. On every singe post. I need it.

Hi
hi.
Love you.
Miss you.
Was holding a baby today and thought, I am so glad that Char and my sister and countless others love this stage but man am I ever happy with the stage my babes are in.
Keith starts pre-school in the fall and I waffle on how I feel on an hourly basis.
Glad to hear from you!!!!
Char,
Glad to know I am not the only one who so badly would've kept havin babies...Yes the start of school , a time where we greive but also rejoice that the house can stay clean for more then 2 hours at a time. So glad to see you when we were up. Cant wait till nex visit , hopefully its longer .. You take care of those beautifull children and remember with God You can do all things!

Hey you,
I love the updates, the pics, and the little glimpses into "Char" that I miss now that I don't live 6inches away.
Keep the posts a comin'!
Hi Sweets!!!
You KNOW I'm always checkin in still!!! :)
Love ya!!
I could use a break from the kids, but I hate the schedule and restrictions that school brings.
I check your blog daily, I guess I should do the same with your Facebook page but I don't, my bad. The Mackenzie Gang is always on my mind, I just don't post often.
I miss the baby stages..for a minute and then I realize how much I love seing them accomplish the big kid stuff. And shopping for girl clothes is so much funner now because I can buy Brooke the clothes that I wish I was skinny enough to wear. And when Jays not around Braden can hook up the horse trailer for me! Unfortunatly I still have to back the truck up but I'm sure that will change soon enough! I miss you Jill
oh how much I could go on about the "lasts" and the growing up and away. I think my biggest thing is, just wanting to KEEP everything fresh and real in my mind and heart. Sometimes I ache to have another babe in arms (not in uterus, I'm allergic to that!!), mostly because I love those feelings I get when I'm snuggling a wee body, and smelling the baby scent, listening to the baby squeeks and watching them do new things everyday.
I love you my friend.
Hello Char!!
I may not check in every day but I do check out your blog about once a week.
