Now or Never

So, in the last year i have discovered how much fun blogging is. I have yet to post anything (obviously) but that doesn't mean I haven't been lurking! I have so enjoyed all of your faithful posting that i decided maybe I should give it a shot.

So, you ask, where am I in my life right now.... I am living my dream as a stay at home mom. I am currently 29 weeks preggo with caldwell #4 (sorry not ready for any belly pics yet) who is supposed to grace us with HIS presence sometime around October 13!
As far as the other kiddos go...

Alexi (my angel) is 6 and starting 1st grade in 4weeks (yes, i just felt my blood pressure raise) She is very excited and will do wonderfully, it's mom that may have a few hard weeks of transition:) She is an incredible helper around the house and with her other siblings. I will miss her help when she starts school. She has an incredible sense of humor that keeps us laughing and sometimes wondering where their young minds come up with stuff. She is an eternal animal LOVER. God has definitely given her a soft spot for any and all animals including frogs, worms, and bugs. There is not much she won't catch, touch, and enjoy. What a special girl.

Braydon is 4 (going on 7) and very mature for his age. We have to remind ourselves sometimes what his age really is because he acts so much older. He is our manly boy and loves cars, guns, tools, yardwork, sports of all kind, wrestling with dad, eating, eating, and did i mention EATING. Since moments after his delivery, he has had a insatiable appetite. This child can pack down more food than me and 5 minutes later be hungry. Yes, I know, wait til he's a teenager; I have already started a savings account just for that cause :) Braydon has a amazingly sweet spirit and is very loving to his family and especially mom :) He is very intelligent and will excel in school.

Caylie is 21 months and quite the diva. Her personality is hysterical and quite different than the other 2. She is VERY dramatic in everything and requires alot of personal attention ( which we all voluntarily give her) She is quite spoiled by us all and none of us can get enough of her antics. Yes, most of her vocabulary is laced with "no mommy" "please stop", etc she is very fluent in speaking and letting us know her needs. She has mastered the art of potty training in the last few weeks and mommy is very happy! She has also discovered swimming this summer and believes she belongs in the water with no floaties of any kind and tries to swim under the water like the other kids do. Yes it is a little nerve racking (sp?) but she is surprisingly good. If summer was another month longer, she would prob be retrieving diving toys from the shallow if i let her.

So, now you've been updated...you may get lucky and see some pics one day!
