A New Year

It's already mid-February and I am so behind on blogging. I have anxiety over it. 

I sit and tell myself that I will not let things fall behind. 

I have 9 blogs right now in draft mode and it's making.me.crazy!!  

Life is hectic.

What's new though? When I had ONE child, I always wondered what those Mom's were talking about who had more than one child that life was so crazy. 

Now I know. 

I always tend to learn lessons the hard way.. 

God thought he was funny when he made me jump from 1 to 3 children.. 

I'll show her, he probably thought. 

Forgive me!! 

I'm lucky if I'm showered by 4pm most days. Sometimes I see those Moms who are all dolled up constantly and I want to slit my wrists. 

Working Mothers amaze me. 

I don't know how ya'll keep to a schedule because children are like ticking time bombs and usually when I have somewhere I HAVE to be at a certain time, I usually get a tantrum or two thrown, 2 blow out diapers, some vomit in there and forget half the stuff for the diaper bag.. I can't imagine having to be  up and out the door with 3 kids in tow by 8am. God bless your souls :)

2013 has already started out in a whirlwind.

We did our annual trip to DisneyWorld the end of January. It's like we waited and waited and waited and the 10 days were over so fast. Not fair. This trip was honestly so much fun. Not that it never is, but the 17 of us all together was just what I needed. Especially because it was a great reminder on why we need to be back in Utah with our families. 

We are moving from Miami on the 26th. Bittersweet.. I've had a hard time with accepting that we are parting from our little peninsula in the corner of the country. I love it here. I love that we are on our own, and I will probably be bashed on for saying this, but I'm glad there aren't a lot of Polynesians out here. lol.. Ray says I'm a 'poly hater'. It's not that at all, I just love the few Polynesian families out here because they MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS. Everyone sticks to themselves and everyone is genuine and comes together as family. Nobody is hateful, or spiteful or condescending. Not everyone in Utah is like that, but enough to me say 'UGH' at the thought of being back there.. luckily the people I love most outweigh the stupid asses. 

Packing and getting everything situated for the move has been fairly smooth. 

Thank goodness.. it's going to be a busy 10 days before we head out.. we are just enjoying South Florida as much as possible and really hoping Utah warms up before we get there. I am so worried about the boys getting sick.. Especially  my Moni.. He's so sensitive to cold and dryness! :( 

We aren't sure where Ray will be playing next season.. we are waiting for free-agency to begin and the wheelin' and dealin' can start! I'm excited to see what's in store.. as much as we love Miami, the Dolphin's have screwed Ray around for 4 seasons.. time to move on. Hopefully somewhere on the West coast perhaps? We will be staying at my parents home until we figure out what's going on. We've been looking for a home to buy, but we are a little hesitant to just jump into something, so we want to take our time. We didn't want to find a rental for a few months, because well, nobody will rent a home out for a few months and be on our schedule.. haha

In a perfect world right?

I'm more nervous about my kids trashing my parents home. I warned them. But they still want us there.. 

The boys are doing so good. I can't complain. They're exhausting, but I'm happy they're exhausting. 

I'm happy they run around with energy for days and make me tired. 

I'm happy they are loud and scream and play and fight. 

Toa is such a big helper and sweetheart. 

The twins are so funny now and are such big boys. 

We are going to have one more baby.. but we want to see what's going on first. 

We feel there's one more little spirit waiting for us... 

That's about all.. I'm excited to be back with our family and friends. 

I'm sad to leave our family and friends here.

We are blessed beyond measure though.. 

Here's to 2013.....
