As you read my title I know what you are thinking, where have you been for the last 3 months? Well, VERY busy and I have been wanting to blog again, I really have, I just haven't taken the time to do so. Well, here I am committing myself to blogging again, not only is it FUN for me, it is a GREAT scrapbook for me to have since I don't do homemade scrapbooks at home(great for you if you are a busy Mom and still find the time to do so, that's wonderful, I might be a little jealous of you). Have I mentioned that I am SO busy?!(ha) For all you out there that ask what stay-at-home Mom's do all day, come be my shadow for the day, ha, then we will see what you really think(that wasn't meant to be a slam, just wanted to let you know that we keep plenty busy too)!
This blog is going to be a BIG one.. I am going to try to capture the last 3 months of what has been going on with my pictures, bare with me.. should be fun though:)

A family friend of ours owns this amphicar(car that drives on land and can go in the water and run like a boat) it is so cool and so fun to ride in. It's fun to see every one's reactions when you start to drive the car into the water and ask them if they know where the interstate is? (ha ha)
