Okay, so I am a slacker...

I have been getting a lot of crap from a few people about not maintaining my blog. Well, here's an update. Since my last blog both our boys have had their birthdays. On May 22nd Kaleb turned 2 and on June 1st Ethan turned 4. Kaleb has also started preschool, and Ethan has changed to a new school closer to home and he seems to be thriving. He is a wonderful kid, but he has some uniqueness that requires something a off of mainstream. His prior preschool was fantastic, but this school is is providing him so much of what he needs. It is just awesome to see him love school and succeed.

At the end of September Mike and I took our first cruise. It was awesome. No kids, just us. It was kind of an anniversary trip (our 12th anniversary was on October 5th.) We can't wait to take another one, but we will likely take the kids. It was a great trip without them, but we (maybe just I) missed them so much that I don't know that I could do it again until they are older.

On October 10th I turned 34. I love my birthday, and always have. It is my favorite day of the year! My father and one of my brothers has their birthday on the same day, so all three of us had that in common. (In case anyone is wondering, my dad turned 71 and my brother 51.) Unfortunately, I am not close to my brother and haven't spoken to him in probably 15 years, but family matters are for another blog.

Just this past Sunday, November 16th, Mike had his birthday and turned 36. We were in Moab for the weekend with the company. It was an awesome time! The only thing missing was our Jeep. Mike has some work being done on it to make it bigger and better (as if it wasn't enough before), and it is taking a lot more time than estimated. We are going on 7 months now of no Jeep. So, we rented on it Moab. Kind of fun to get back to the basics of Jeeping. Makes you take a different look at things when you don't have the same set up.

One bit of bad news is that just today, like one hour ago, I had to have one of our cats euthanized. I was with him and it was fast and peaceful. I am a red-eyed, teary mess over it. But, on another note, we have an addition to our cat collection, Chloe. She is a rescue, like them all, and is fitting in nicely. She has been with us for a few weeks now, and originally I was going to try to find her another home. She was just going to stay with us until then, but she's here for good now.

Here are some pictures to get you all updated. I'll try to post more often!
