how are things?

hey, shan... how are things going?

so glad you asked!!! things have been slightly busy here. yes, we are finally over with all the birthday and religious celebrations, but there is always something. i guess with four kids there will always be something.

sports - carter is playing soccer and baseball, and mason is playing t-ball. baseball is the only sport that the kids do that has weeknight games. craig is coaching both the boys teams, so he has to leave work early a lot to get to the games. it's great he is coaching, but that leaves me on the sidelines with the kids. mason just plays with his friends, and graham chills in the stroller, it is our crazy two year old who loves to run around, and run on to the field to give her daddy a hug. cute, yes... but i need to keep my running shoes on!

graham is still our happy wheezer... it has been 2 months and he is still wheezing. the nebulizers and steroids have not helped. last week i brought him to children's for a chest x-ray and it showed he has asthma. for now we are watching him closely, and making sure he is hitting all his milestones and gaining weight. the doctor said her biggest concern was that he wheezes so much when he is not sick. at his 6 month appointment we will discuss which specialist to send him to (pulmonologist, ent, or allergist). i am just so thankful that he is such a happy boy!!!

hadley, hadley, hadley... i just love her so much!!! she is so cute and sweet... well, except for when she's not! ha! one on one she is perfect! but she loves to bother her older brothers. she wants to do everything they do, and doesn't understand why she can't. she is perfecting the art of tantrums and just really keeps me on my toes. she is OBSESSED with pink!!!! (she informed me she wants a pink DS... she didn't get the memo that 2 year olds shouldn't even know what a DS is.) so for any of you moms out there who have boys and think it would be fun to have a girl... come borrow her!

house improvements - we haven't really had to do much to our house since we bought it almost 6 years ago. i had a couple of ideas, but then when i got a quote for our front door to get fixed, we were told we need a whole new entry way. and then we had the domino effect. new door = change color (green to red), then change the shutters (green to black) and i have really been wanting new garage doors, and the fence needs to be replaced, and craig wants our irrigation system added to the back yard. so yes, lots of things going on... i also met with the landscaper to share my ideas with him. i am so excited to see what we get accomplished this year!!!!

ww - i fell off the wagon! not really, i just haven't counted my points in the last 2 weeks, and hence haven't lost any weight. i need to get back on it, and step away from the easter candy!!!!

that's all i got to share for now... thanks for asking!!!

p.s. how are things with you? (yes, i would love to know!!!)
