dont have to

I am so bad at posting. i just recently decided that i dont have to have a picture to post and that maybe some of you wont mind just words! then maybe i will post more, then maybe you will know a little more about us, and then maybe more of you will read our blog more often. ok so here it goes .... general updates ....

Nate is doing great, spent this last weekend at the cabin and enjoyed it thoroughly! scared audrey to death when he didnt check in and then didnt come home when she thought he should. but she discovered that dispatch at highway patrol is really very nice. he mowed and cleaned things up which is far overdo, but what can we say its been a busy year. He recently survived scout camp as the scout master and with more than 20 boys. i think there should be t-shirts for that, they should say i survived scout camp etc .... work is still busy and strong just like him!

Audrey's business is still doing really well and moving forward faster than ever thought. i love all the friends i now have in the industry and being able to create on someone else's dime! not that my clients dont benefit, they do! love having the kids out of school and hate it. goes both ways. cant wait to design another house but am frustrated about the slowness of the sale of this one. what is with me one minute time is moving to fast and the other to slow!

storie is busy singing ... she loves to sing. playing with friends telling us scenarios out of 100 sentences when it should take only 2. she is like that little girl on the volvo commercial. think maybe we should buy her one? she is so smart and bright and she obeys me and is so helpful around the house. storie and saylor have become a lot closer than i though their ages would allow at this stage.

stockton is still a clone of nate. he has decided that nothing works the way he thinks it should at least not the basics of life, like how your clothes and shoes fit and when and where you can play etc... he went to the cabin with nate and enjoyed himself too! the kids have had some strange rash virus and he is down with it now, we have discovered that benadryl makes him angry!

saylor is well. she is starting to use her wisdom against us. she has recently become mischevious and sneaky and when she gets caught she uses the funniest escapes! for ex.... recently she got in trouble for pouring an entire bottle of gatorade on stocks head in the car no less. when we got inside i put her on the couch in time out in order to bring more order and she proceeded to tell me that Jesus didnt like the way i was treating her. today she decided to slip some chips into her dress pocket for church. we called her naploen the rest of the day. yesterday she went to beauty and the beast at the hale center theatre and now she is sure she knows the difference between a true love kiss and a not so true love kiss! she is so darling!

well hope this is enjoyful!
