I have determined that I MUST commit myself to writing in my blog this year.  I noticed it has been a year since I last posted...And OHHH what a year!   For the past three weeks I have been telling myself this, and here it is almost the end of January and I have yet to start.  Well, I am now!  Shawn and Shade are out snow plowing as we have gotten 4-6" of nice wet snow today.  They have been going since about 6 a.m.  Morgan is at Aunt Jenaee's watching the kids, while she is up at the hospital with little Crue (he has R.S.V)  Poor little guy.  Carter & Aspen are outside building forts in the newly fallen white stuff, even though it is currently dark outside.  So here I sit, by the nice warm fire, set on getting this blog going.  My biggest problem right now is pictures.  I just downloaded DROPBOX on my computer and it is updating my pictures--which currently has 13 hours left to get all those babies on my computer.  Sooo, I can see I am not going to get much done tonight.  Poor excuse, I know.  Actually, I am going to  start writing the posts, then I can add the pictures later. BRILLIANT!  And...I do have a few pictures I stole from Ashley's blog from Christmas.  That is all the further I am going to go back to catch up, that way it is not so overwhelming.  So check back often, and see what is happening in our CRAZY little family!
