Seriously, I've been such a slacker when it comes to blogging, but I didn't have my computer for 6 weeks, so that's my excuse. I'm going to go back and blog about Jan, Feb, and March later, but I'll just give a little update on our family for this post. We are out in Alabama for the summer. TG came out in the middle of February and the kids and I joined him at the end of March. We were away from each other for 6 weeks and it flew by, but it was super hard being away from each other. I had a few moments where I broke down from the stress of being a single mom, but I survived and thankfully so did my kids ;)
We are LOVING it out here in Alabama. The weather has been in the 80's, so we go to the pool and play outside all day every day. Right now there are 16 kids in the office ranging in ages from 10 months-5 years old. There are six more kids that will join us in the next couple weeks. Keilani and Tau love having so many friends to play with every single day. We all live in the same apartment complex, so it's a constant party. It's funny because I feel like we're freaks of nature at our complex because people will just sit and stare at us with all of our kids like they've never seen so many kids before. Then people find out we are from Utah, so they probably think we're polygamists or something.

TG, the kids, and I went to Crackerbarrel one day for breakfast and afterward we sat outside while Keilani sat in a cute little rocking chair. It was a warm day with a slight breeze, country music was playing in the background, every person passed us with a friendly smile and nod. Right at that moment I thought to my self, "I just love the South," and seconds later TG said, "I love the South." There is just something about the people in the South. I noticed it when we lived in Tennessee, Mississippi, and now Alabama. They are super friendly, courteous, and always willing to give a hand.
I promise to update my blog at least weekly. Here are some pictures from the last couple weeks.
