IS it 8:00 yet?



Is it 8:00 yet???  That is the question of the month.  I believe my children's only reference to time is 8:00, BEDTIME!!!  (Well, you could count Nikki's Is it 4:00 yet? -Scooby Doo Phase! )Anyhow, that is a question that I hear running through my head as well as out of their mouths by the time 8:00 rolls along.  Everyones pretty beat we're all played, argued, loved, cried...etc. etc... out by then. There's nothing quite as sweet as seeing your children sleep.  I'm feeling so proud of myself and our little ones lately.  We recently got Christian a twin bed-I know he's almost five- we finally made the jump when he kept falling off the bed each night.  :)  Well if anyone knows me well they know that sleeping at our home hasn't been the greatest or proudest of topics.  Pretty much my children all slept in my bed until Nikki at 5 finally stayed in her bed, Christian as of the last month, and Faith...well, we're still working on that one. At least she's not 25 ad still nursing like I thought she might be!  I'm all about looking for the positives in life :)  So to say that my big guy isn't in my bed or even coming into try and get in bed anymore is good news would be the understatement of the year.  Way to go Christian!!!  To be quite honest with you it didn't bother me that much to have my kids in bed until just recently when Kurt would end up on the couch each morning.  But I'll tell you what you sure do sleep better without a child suctioned to your face. Right mom!   I love my kids.  Hey at my pace I may even have Faith out of our bed by the time she's three!  I'm learning a little more with each child, right!?!  But for now I'm going to enjoy the smell of my sweet little girls breath on my face in the morning.  So heres to all the other moms who may be sharing their beds with their sweet little darlings too and heres to 8:00!!!

AHA

Ok so I think I figured out at least one thing. You'll have to scroll down to see the other pictures I was talking about.  I know its sideways, I wanted to give you all a sample of one of my other struggles.  How can I flip that?  

My feeble attempts...

So I think I'm probably making this whole bloging thing a lot harder than it needs to be but I haven't found the "Blogging for Dummies" book yet.   It has taken me 3 weeks to try and figure out how to change my pictures from being sideways.  I think I need a new software. I don't know!  All of my pictures are saved on Costcos website but I can't seem to be able to upload then from there to this page.  Any help would be fab.    As for my other feeble attempts at life.  These are some samples of my attempt at a photo shoot.  I think some of them turned out pretty cute.  It's Grandpa N. B-day and he made a request for new photos for his office so thats why I pulled out the camera.  But again as you can see blogging trouble... these pictures are ginormous somebody help please. :) I tried to pick a picture that you can see Faiths pirate eye!  Everytime you tell her to smile she pulls out the pirate eye smile, it's hilarious.  The kids had a ball walking down the river.  It wasn't so easy for this old thang.  The night before I had sprained my ankle in an indoor soccer game.  I just started playing on a co-ed team and it's been really fun, but I really haven't played much since High School.  I think I'm getting too old for this stuff.  Actually I think maybe that's why I decided to play.  I'm not getting any younger so I better use this body while I still can, right!   My baby sister came to play with me last night it was fun to play with her. She's 11 years younger, but I don't think you would've guessed that out on the field.  (Ok maybe when I was rolling around on the ground in agony you may have guessed that I was getting old!!!)   :)   I'm playing with some of the "Stussy Posse"   HOLLA!!!  I still got it!  :)   Well, maybe I'll see if anyone can give me some advice on this blog deal and than I'll post again.

Miracles DO happen

Well, I would have to be the first to admit I never thought this would really happen.  But now that we have a computer in the house there is really no excuse not to join the blogging world.  I always enjoy checking in on everyone and hope that you'll enjoy hearing about life according to the Nydeggers.
