Wild and Crazy!!

I don't know what happened to the last part of my last post? Oh well. I'm gonna just have to post more pictures!!

I can't believe how time flies. Maddy is 2 and 1/2 months old, Kizzy starts Kindergarten in 2 weeks and Zeke starts 1st grade in 2 weeks as well!!

So much has happened and I'm super behind, but here goes:

Brigham and Zeke went to a Father son campout in the end of June and Zeke fell and cut his eyebrow. What a fun phone call to get from your husband: Brig"Cori can you meet me at the hospital?" Cori "WHAT? Why what happened?" Brig "Oh, nothing Zeke just cut his eyebrow." Cori "What the heck did YOU do?" Brig "I didn't do anything I was watching him and he fell! I have whitnesses!!" LOL It is so funny to look back and see, not funny at the time. Here is a picture of the scab after the stitches were taken out.


My brother was here for several weeks and we played hard! Lots of Boggle, Risk, Farming Game, fishing and of course Wii.


When my mom came to pick Nate up, she stayed a week and sewed beautiful things for my kiddos! Kizzy got some new school skirts, Zeke got a new hoodie, Maddy has some new burp rags. She also is the master of Laundry and did several loads.

Brigham has been working on many cars and has been blessed a ton to have a good job that rewards good work. He gets to go to some small workshops again here soon.

You really forget all about how much work little ones are. I have been struggling to find the balance of home, family and self. I really struggle with my house. I have been so excited and proud of how clean I've been able to keep it and now that I have a little one that takes so much effort it has been falling behind. But then again what is more important? A Clean house or happy kids? I'm also struggling to balance time between the kids. Maddy requires so much and Zeke requires so much so Kizzy sometimes gets left behind. But things are slowly becoming more balanced.

gotta go crying baby but here are some fun pics.
