Something Old, Something New

Wow! I can't believe I started a blog in 2005. Typical Stephanie, start something and never finish...lol. I have been...what's the word I'm looking for here...encouraged, yeah encouraged to start blogging again. I don't think I've even looked at my blog since I last posted in 2005. The kids are so small in the pictures. It's so amazing to see how much they've grown over the years. Instead of trying to catch up with what's been going on over the past 4 years I'm going to start right where I am. Yesterday was Jaycob's and Nathan's birthday. Jaycob is now 16!!! It's a scary time for me right now, and yet exciting at the same time. Jaycob has proven to be a great kid, and responsible! He's been a great driver so far, but weren't we all when our parents were in the car? He won't be able to get his actually driver's license until sometime in October. It's a scary time to think I'll have a teenager out there on his own that anything could happen to. But exciting to know that he can take the other kids places when I'm sick and don't want to get out of bed!!!

It's amazing how much time has gone by. It just seems like yesterday that he wasn't so big!
Nathan is a teenager now. That's a scary thing too. In just a blink of an eye Nathan will be 16 and then will be graduating high school. I only hope and pray that we as his parents can make it through this trying time...lol.

Nathan April 2004! Nathan Spring 2009!

Taylor is 10 now and in the tween phase. She is becoming a beautiful young lady. I pray everyday she will continue to grow into such and will be able to find a good christian husband and do something with her life.


Taylor in Kindergarten 2004! Taylor spring 2009!
Caiden is 5 going on 30! He's such a great little man. He says some of the most off the wall things. But with older siblings and the parents he has I uncerstand why...lol. Just the other day, when I picked him up from school, I asked him how his day when. I got the same response as I usually do, "It was good." Then after a few minutes he looks up at me and said, "Well I broke up with my girlfriend, but it's okay, I got another one." I couldn't help but laugh, but I'm concerned at the same time. He's 5!!! Why does my 5 year old have a girlfirend? And why does he know what breaking up with a girlfriend means? He's too young for that!!! Why do kids now a days have to grow up so fast?



Caiden July 2004! Caiden April 2009!

Ok, after 2 hours and many interuptions on trying to get this blog posted I think I have finally come to the end. Pretty soon changes and a new chapter in our lives are will be starting. It's a new adventure and pretty scary, yet exciting at the same time. But more to come on that later.

Congratulations, friend!! And, you are right, the kids sure have grown. I miss them and you so much. It is amazing how much the two older boys look like each other. And their dad!

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
