It's christmas time

Yep that's right. Thanksgiving has come and gone and we are only days away from Christmas. My mother in law, sister in law and her 2 children will be here this weekend. I work saturday so that day is a bust for me. Oh well at least our kids get some time together. The kids have all had their day of being sick and I hope we are past that for the winter. On Thanksgiving the kids had a good time at grandma Carolyn's playing with all the family. Then friday we went to Ky where they had a bday party for Alexa. Then saturday Bailey was baptized, we went bowling and Alexa's friend Shannon came to swim and then Alexa spent the night with her. I can't wait to give Brent his gift. He thinks he is just getting the hood for his aquarium. Which did set us back but to watch his face light up it was so worth it. I think the kids will be surprised by all they get as well. Well trying to watch 11th hour before cleaning the kitchen and then scrapping a page then heading to bed. Hopefully by midnight.

here I go again

Yep trying to blog again. I keep saying I will do this and then don't. Then I go through a bunch of friend's blogs and think dang it I need to get my stuff together. So I added a slideshow on the upper left of my scrapping stuff. Wether it be atc, layouts or cards it is all there. Of course there is plenty I don't have on there.
I have also chosen to not upload kids pictures except for what is here already. I just hope I can be as crafty as the rest of my scrappy friends.

LONG TIME!

Yes it's been a long time since I started this blog and look only 2 previous posts before I stopped. Man am I bad at this stuff. Well I guess an update is in order.
The kids are all back in school. Including my 2yo dd who is sick because of it. You know how it is when a bunch of kids get together they just pass stuff back and forth between each other.
The others are doing good. Chris and Kelsey each have a second black stripe on their karate belts. Alexa started soccer and her games are suppose to start next week. A little frustrated that she still hasn't got her uniform or schedule but oh well we will deal with it.
Brent is doing ok but not as well as someone his age should. I just hope eventually everything gets worked out. He could be such a fun dad if he would just have the energy.
I guess that's it. I hope to post more often but who knows what I will manage to do.

Weekly update

So not much going on with the Adkins. I work the next 3 nights so that I can be off for the next 2 weeks. I am so excited to go to Destin with the kids. I hope Brent will actually go down to the beach with us and not just sit in the room. I know my inlaws will be at the beach all day.
Kelsey starts going back to the tutor on monday as her tutor is back from vacation herself. I can't believe the improvements she has made over the summer. Now going to karate she has become a totally strong willed child. I look forward to seeing her in first grade.
Well if anything else comes up I will add it.
