Happy New Year! No, wait...

Yeah, New Year's has long past...

I had good intentions about continuing on with my goal of updating the blog at least once a week, but 2011 kind of got away from me. I'll be honest...this year has simply been OUT OF CONTROL and I don't like it. But that's just life, or so I'm told.

So rather than do a book report on all the things that have been happening over the past five months, I'll report where we are today...

• Home, from an awesome skydiving birthday party for The Man (see video below).
• Enjoying the rest of our Memorial Day weekend, which will include a trip to the movies to see Kung Fu Panda 2 in 3D (the girls can barely wait).
• Lathering ourselves up with Aloe because we're red like lobsters (okay, really it's just me doing that - I seriously need to pay attention to sun screen).
• Preparing for the last day of Kindergarten (can you BELIEVE IT?), which will be here in about three-weeks.
• Also preparing for Granny Kay's arrival, which happens just before school gets out. The girls are counting down the days on their calendars - literally!
• Wondering where the spring weather was, or went, and how it can possibly be almost-summer-time.

As you can see, life continues to roll on for our little family. It's not exciting all of the time, but it's definitely filled with moments that we'll never forget. Like The Man's 51st birthday party at No Limits Skydiving. He's always wanted to try it, so a drop from 12,000 feet was his gift this year. I can't say I wasn't scared to watch him fly through the sky - especially before his chute opened - but knowing how happy the experience would make him, made the gift (and my nerves) totally worth it. You can check out what he saw below...

Promises to be back soon...if for no other reason than to document the moments our family never wants to forget...and the ones you're not always with us to enjoy.
