Vacation Pictures

Beautiful Buena Vista, Colorado and surrounding areas....

What did I miss?

Er, maybe it's more what did the readers here miss?

Vacation, our first in nearly 10 years....FUN! Buena Vista Colorado...pics coming eventually...they've been uploaded, just gotta get them up.

Throwback Thursday....Even have an old pic of my grandmother I was going to post...or the pic of my dad from when he was about 10....

Back to school!? Yes Already!! Harley's in 8th grade...Kelly's a junior in high school...Robert's *considering* getting a job (he better consider a little harder). I didn't even take any "first day back to school" pictures today...how sad is that? But then again, Kelly looked like most teens do...big shirt and ripped jeans...Harley? Well, he was dressed like Harley always is :D

Toilet drama...for those that have been following this blog for a while, you've seen the picture of Harley's "toileting position"....we've been through so many toilet seats (and toilets) because of his stand/squat/hover/hug the tank position. Andrew replaced seals in the toilet yesterday because they were leaking...today Harley broke the brand new seals...and the bathroom flooded...Oh Joy!! Any chance we can get a stainless steel, one-piece toilet installed in our house?! LOL

So yeah, my writing sucks lately...my updates are virtually non existent...but if you still visit and still enjoy this blog...let me know? I feel like I blab on and on and about a bunch of nothing anyone's interested in anymore :(

About two more weeks and Tyler starts school. Four more weeks we have Zac re evaluation to see if he starts school in January -- and if not in January he will for sure start next year in September...I will have 4 of my 5 children in school...and each one of them in a different school, in a different direction!! Holy cow, I better make sure my van is well maintained and winterized...it's gonna be a whirlwind year come this time next year!

Throwback Thursday - December 1985

My cat in December 1985: (KC)

Our NEW cat, Angie (she was already named)...we picked her up from the pound yesterday...it's "adopt a cat free days" through the month of August at the Denver Municipal Animal Shelter!

What's better than taking the kids to the park?

Taking ALL five kids (plus one!) to TWO parks!!

Kelly's always saying "Tyler's MINE!"
Harley!
Robert....He really enjoys having younger siblings so HE can enjoy the playground equipment...even though he's too big for it!
BOO!
Kelly & Troy with Zachary

A "baby swing" that fits Robert!
My smallest sweetheart!
my younger gymnast!

A rare pic of all five together!

Digital Scrapbooking

Sorry to my FB friends who have already seen these...I've been working on various digital scrapbooks...after suffering another devastating pregnancy loss 12 days ago, we have decided that we are done with baby-making. It breaks my heart...I will never forget the 14 babies I have lost over the past 3 years but it is time to move on...and one way I am doing that is by compiling picture memories of my 'surviving' children...I am so new at this, but it is pretty exciting!

I started with Robert's first year...it's not completed and still I have work to do, but I am pretty proud of what I've gotten done so far!
