My First Post!

Ok so here it is, my first Blogger post! Woo Hoo! I have been trying to get the hang of blogger for awhile and all it really took was a little time playing with it! Now, what to say??

Life has been crazy for us lately. Our whole family participates in the local Relay For Life of Graham County and Robert and I both serve on the events planning committee. The event was April 24 at the Graham County fairgrounds so we have been working our rear ends off trying to get stuff ready! It came off as a great success raising over $70,000! Not to bad considering our economy these days. We still had the turnout of people as well which is the most important thing. Everyone had a good time which makes the work worth it. Now that Relay is over we can focus on the other craziness of our lives!

I just recently went back to work after being blessed to have 3 months of maternity leave. Needless to say, I miss being at home with the kids. However, only working part time is a blessing so I really can't complain. Not to mention some of my great friends are co-workers and it is really nice to be back in contact with them. And have some adult conversation! :)

Our kiddos are onery as ever. Mykala and Maryah are both dancers at Safford Dance Academy. Mykala performs with the Poms and Maryah in the tap/ballet/tumbling combo class. They both enjoy it very much. Maryah just recently got her costume for their May performance and it is just too cute! Mykala gets to dance in the Cinco De Mayo parade this Saturday so we are all looking forward to that. Other than that the girls are just having fun being kids. Trysten is in a league all of his own let me tell you. Little stinker! He has a really bad case of colic (which I am praying is almost over) so he has been a bit of a trial for the last 3 months. However, he is smiling so much now and has started laughing over the last 2 weeks which makes all the trials with him seem trivial. It is nice to know that he really is a happy baby even though he seems so unhappy so much of the time. I'm hoping for his sake (and my sanity) that he will soon outgrow this and just be happy all the time!

So, this is pretty much the update of our lives these days...nothing too exciting to report! Thanks for checking out our Blog spot!! :)
