We're new here...

Over the course of the past 4 years, ever since Hunter was born, I have struggled with a way to keep our extended friends and family up on the news of our lives here in Austin. I used to be really good about updating our flickr page, however got a bit creeped out with their very cool, yet insanly creepy, technology and haven't been consistently updating the pictues. So, here is my attempt at blogging. I can assure you I will have spelling errors, I will post about gross things, I will tell stories my sons will hate me for when they are 16, I will have spans of time when I am silent and hopefully, I will share our lives with you one blog at a time.  Just to catch up on a few things:

1. Hunter is almost 4 and will affectionetaly be called "beast 1" throughout this process. He doesnt stop talking or thinking, his mind is always going a million miles per hour. He loves to play cars and games. He is mama's boy to the extreme and a cuddler when he's sleepy. He loves to read, play his leapster and run around outside.
2. Judah turned 2 in December and will be referenced often as "beast 2." He is a big boy who leaves a path of destruction in his wake, but he is the most gentle hearted beast around. Judah loves to do whatever Hunter is doing, unless dad is doing something cooler. He loves to play with his tools and is known to go scavenging through the fridge and pantry at ungodly hours of the morning.
3. Justin and I just celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary on New Years Eve! Where has time gone! Justin continues to work at Seton Medical center's pharmacy and I am still working at the blood center.
4. Our girls,  Breck and Brandi, are starting to show their age at almost 7 and 5 we have noticed they are much more content lounging in the sunshine rather than running around like puppies. Breck esspecially is still my baby and will probably be sitting by my side each time I sit down to write something.
5. We are in the process of buying a house! Will give more details as they come.

I think that about covers it, so keep checking back for updates, stories and pictures of beast 1 and beast 2 :)
