I guess I first have to start out by apologizing mostly to myself to being somewhat of a slacker when it comes to blogging the past little while. Sometimes I just wonder where the time goes! I have felt somewhat overwhelmed with the job title of "MOM" lately. I feel like I am treading water and barely able to keep my head afloat with all of the duties I am expected to perform. Between laundry, dishes, keeping the house clean, feeding, bathing and caring for three kids, disciplining, driving to and from school, church callings, homework , finding time to read to Camden 20 min. each day, getting my yard pulled up and ready for the fall, getting all of my fruit and vegetables frozen (I bagged canning this year...someday I will learn!), trying to fit in a little fun for myself and time to spend with my cute hubby, sometimes I just want to throw in the towel! But then I look at all I have been blessed with and just have to remind myself that I have THREE very good reasons not to quit...
Camden, Carter, and Myah! (Not to mention Darin!!!....I certainly couldn't do it without him!) Even though it can be awfully tough sometimes, I really do love my job and wouldn't change it if I could! With that being said, here are some of the things that have been taking up all of my time!
YuM YuM VeGgIeS!!!!
I dare you to not smile at that face. This little munchkin has even sprouted two pearly whites this month! She is just growing up!
GRADY!
Lesli's little boy was blessed last month. He is seriously the cutest little thing ever! He is big though.....not fat, just big for his age. Him and Myah are 4 1/2 months apart and he is just as tall as she is! I think they will be good friends. I love that he is already doing the macho boy pose...and Myah thinks he is hilarious!
GIRL STUFF!
So having a girl has brought a whole new realm of fun for me. Hairbows and headbands are something I never realized could be so fun! I have gone a little overboard! Here she is showing off ALL of her headbands. I would show off her clips but I would need about 5 of her to wear them all!
SOCCER!
Camden finished up his fall soccer. He had a lot of fun, and I think he really improved this fall. It's fun to watch them when they start to "get it". I think he is ready for spring to get here so he can play again! Oh winter....whatever will we do with ourselves!BACHELORETTE Party!!

My mom, Grady and Lesli
My lovely mom!
Kylie....my cousin Laura's little girl.
Kristen...Ashley's friend from Massage Therapy school. She came all the way from New York!
My Aunt Carma....all the way from CALI!
Laura....and no we aren't doing electric shock therapy. Just a water bath for your feet. Pretty interesting if you haven't ever tried it! She came from California too!
And the guest of honor! Our other cousin Jaclyn showed up from D.C. as well! It was so good to see all of you!PUMPKINS!
My manly men posing for the camera!
Aren't I lucky that I can smooch this face anytime I want!
We got some fun pumpkins! Fall has been fun and this is just part one.....much more to come!

Cute pics Jo! I loved looking at all of them. Your family is so so cute. I can't believe there are 5 of you! Looking at these pics makes me realize that time goes by so fast it's crazy!
ps.I like the pumpkin picking idea.
Cute post, Jo. Love the fun fonts and all the cute pictures. And I LOVE your family picture on your header. Such a darling family. Miss you.
Joanna, I sure miss you. I wish I could hang out with you again. I feel like I am going through the same things as you and would love to share stories.
You guys are so cute! I love to look at your pictures. You take such good ones!
Miss you!
Sounds like you have had a full fall! I think most moms feel the same way you do, if not then they are lying! I must say I am jealous of the hair bow thing, I was secretly hoping to be crazy with bows too, oh well.
Cute pics Jo - sorry you've felt so stressed lately! Hopefully now you aren't so sick, life will be a little easier (well, once Darrin gets better it will be easier:) Just think though, next time you're stressed you'll get to lay back and eat delicious pear fruit leather! That will make everything better!
Joanna, you are such a great mom! I don't know how you do it with 3. I guess our capacity increases along with the number of kids (or so I hope, or I better stop with 2.) You are doing a great job!
You get the "SUPER MOM" award for all the canning and freezing food! I love the pict of Myah in all her hair bows! How fun maybe someday I will experience the girly stuff in life!
