PEACE, LOVE, MUD

This summer I was asked to join a mud volleyball team for charity. The charity is to help prevent school drop-outs and support the surrounding schools and community. What a great cause to support! The event is every August and this year it was held Buffalo Springs Lake.

Our Team name was 'Mud In Mud Out' Must of us work at AT&T and were very pumped that morning.

 Of course, I picked number 5 for my girls and my name was 'Chica Loca'

This was after our first game (which we played a total of 5)

 Me and one of my besties Natalie

Let me tell you, it is not easy to play in mud and water. This was our last game, we had lost all 4 before this one.

Aaron surprised me and brought the little girls out to watch and play in the mud.

Needless to say they had a blast getting dirty!

I didn't realize how muddy we got until the pictures were uploaded.

 We were starting to get pretty down that we hadn't won a game all day and then our last game we kicked some butt and won! We had a team mud fight, some adult beverages, laughs, and a great Saturday!

Needing some Prayer and maybe some advice....

I am struggling with a decision. At work I have the oppertunity to potionally move to a department that I can bring home more money. However, with this money comes major stress for job responsiblity. We have been doing so well since I have been work finacially and this is the first time in three years. I'm sure I would be good at the job however I have been told by few that the stress comes from the expectations that you are required to meet every month. Work is going good still working extra hours but Im sure that will slow down in a month or two. Im still really enjoying my work just sometimes I need a bream. (Dont we all lol)

Addi is really enjoying school and if I took in this position I could probably put her in more days a week and we could maybe afford another car. I just dont know what the right way is. I LOVE working cause I feel like I am contributing to my life and family just have a decision to make.

On a side note: all the girls are fabulous and doing so well either in school or at home. Shelby is in 3rd grade and Kenz is in 2nd both love school. Addi can right her name and sydnee is singing songs with all her fav shows. Kimber doesnt like sleeping in mom and dad's room anymore so we before going to bed wheel her little crib to the living room and she sleeps so much more soundly. We probably keep her up with our snooring lol.

I have no idea yet which way to go, stay where I am at or go to a more stressful job but with more money? I want only the best for my family. So what would you do?

This and That

I am currently working on a blog but I am waiting for a few things. So I will do a quick one. I am sitting here at 7:44am with the girls still asleep and trying to type as quiet as possible cause you know little kids have sonar ears when they want to get up in the morning but CAN'T hear a thing when you tell them to clean their room lol.

Aaron and I are praying work stays good since we are on a little shaky ground with Aaron's work. Nothing he did of course but with the economy now a days its bound to through some snags into the equation. He is working today which is always good every morning. I worked with Aaron on Tuesday up in Prescott and some of the houses we went to were gorgeous! Awesome views of the mountains, a lot of space, we always look at a house we like with one thing in mind, "How will it look at Christmas?" Thats our favorite time of year :)

I think I have slacked off a little since leaving for vacation. There is usually always dishes on the counter or a pile of laundry that needs to be done or folded. I need to know get back into a 'chores routine' so that the house is nice and neat (well as much as it can be with a 3 and 1 year old) for when Aaron comes home.

Girls are doing great with Sydnee now walking (very fast I might add) and annoying Addi sometimes. Too funny. We are also looking at all our option and thinking about maybe moving to Lubbock, Tx in the spring. Of course we have to make sure Aaron has a job and we have a place to live but its an option. Its just soo dang hot out that we can't go outside without a pool all some so that is one reason. Reason number 2 is my girls. I could have all for of them together every other weekend which I know Addison would love!

The girls should be getting up soon. Tata for now.
