A lot of normal things have happened the past four months

I've been avoiding this place lately because I got behind and every time I thought about catching up I got overwhelmed and wanted to go hide in a closet.

But, these are the only memories my kids are going to have because Lord knows I don't scrapbook, I haven't printed a picture since 2007, and I drink too much aspartame to be able to sufficiently remember anything. So, this is it.

My to-blog list:

1. hiking the grand canyon - we didn't die
2. Thanksgiving and Christmas - you know, gluttonous
3. Bode's sports - he recently said he's having two children and naming them LeBron and Kyrie, so, basically, it's going great
4. Mia's theater - she's been in Music Man, she's been to Sacramento, she's mentoring special needs kids, and just got cast as Jasmine in Aladdin (she just had to be the slutty princess)
5. MARATHON IN DISNEY WORLD! Why, yes, this did need to be in all caps, thankyouverymuch
6. Jen Hatmaker and I are besties and now I can die happy.

This biggest disappointment I've experienced in having older kids is that you can't make fun of them on the internet as much. They have A LOT of feelings. It's super annoying. 

And, children, when I make this into a book and present it to you at your high school graduation or some other super monumental event in your life, you better friggin' love it.
