Welcome to my World

I have to admit that I am kind of hooked on Facebook. It sort of takes me away from the blog scene. I feel a little silly since Facebook seems primarily a teenage phenomenon, but it's amazing how many "older" people are on there! I have a so many college, high school and church friends on there that I haven't seen in eons. Not to mention relatives! And so, alas, I have a feeling that my my blogging days are numbered. But, just so I don't feel too guilty, here are some pictures of some highlights of our month so far....

Yesterday my wonderful husband got up on our roof and bleached it! It was very dark and dirty and I have been asking him to do it for a while. No, not nagging, asking. heehee He also took JJ and Ben on the roof with him for a SHORT time. I tried not to be nervous about this. BEFORE AFTER Aunt Sheri sent a belated Christmas package (because she sent it home with her parents). The kids were so excited and JoJo had to help out too! Aunt Sheri sent a book of paper airplanes! How cool! THANK YOU AUNT SHERI! We went to Welcome my Grandparents to Florida for the winter and my cousin Greg was there with his children. My boys got along really well with their energetic Andy (who was never still enough to get a picture of)! Cheyenne (sp?) and Joanna were playinig together pretty nicely. Chad and Jenny were also there and their Mattthew fit right in with our rowdy bunch! Here is the sandbox that Brendan made for the kids for Christmas! They have already gotten hours of fun out of that thing! I lo...

Christmas Eve is normally spent at the Nolts when we are all in town. Unfortunately, Brendan's brother Doug and family were not able to come! We missed them alot! Gramma Nolt always reads the Christmas story: Here are the "boys" playing videa games! Uncle Andy helping put batteries in. The Mess. Christmas Morning at our house.

Well, the Christmas and New Year's rush are over! I am really glad in a way, because here in FL the hustle and bustle of the season are accentuated by all the PEOPLE who are down from the North! It's a little crazy, to say the least. I having been thinking lately of all the wonderful things I could be blogging about! I have some pretty great ideas, but no time. I don't know how you gals do it! So I decided to make a list of some of the things I would blog about if I had time. Here goes: THINGS I WOULD BLOG ABOUT IF I HAD TIME: 1. All the zany things that happen at my house on a daily basis 2. The way the dirt collects in my house the minute I finish sweeping the floor(and all the other complaints I have about housekeeping with 4 small children) 3. The current projects I am undertaking (like the painting I just finished for the boys' room) 4. Some of the ways I have grown as a person since I am married. 5. Before and after pics of our house 6. The struggles of bec...

To Whom it May Concern: I figured out why the comments weren't showing, so I am happy! I have imported all my old posts and am going to delete my other blog. Why have two blogs when I barely have time for one!? But this one will stay the same!

Mom and Dad took the whole family to a cabin in GA for Christmas! We had a fabulous time! The kids ran wild (just kidding) and the adults stayed up till all hours enjoying the fellowship, not to mention the hot tub and lots of food! Brendan entertaining the munchkins, Reece, Ben and Kaelin Mom and Dad up past their bedtime Playing Monopoly Crazy kids eating Jessica's yummy homemade pizza Brendan and I Randy and Jenn Playing "golf", looks exciting, huh? Getting ready to open those gifts!! JoJo taking steps to JJ Putting babies "ni-night" Reece and Rod Aunt Jessica On the Christmas train Here comes Santa Claus!

I was having issues with my old blog, so I changes its name and created a new one! If you would like to view any old posts, go to clearlynolt.blogspot.com Hopefully this new blog will allow comments! I just didn't have the patience to mess with it any more! It might not really matter since not a whole lot of people comment anyway! haha We are enjoying the holidays very much! We went on a trip to Indiana at Thanksgiving time and we were SO glad to get back to the mild weather of FLORIDA! These are a few pics from the trip: In Ft. Wayne, I saw my college friend, Jeni. L to R, Liam, Joanna, Ben, Sam, Owen, Kate Since this picture, Jeni had her fourth child, Zane. We also saw our freinds, Ruben & Miriam Miller. Here I am with Miriam, Krista, Joanna and Deanna We stayed with Brendan's brother, Doug and Sheri. Our kids had a blast together. Here are JJ and Ally trying to get a ride. It's not working too well.
