goodbyes

goodbyes are never easy. ever. no matter how many times we do this.

a last thought...

for me tonight. i read this quote online this evening and it just fits so perfectly with what my family is going through right now:

"Start by doing what's neccessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible." - St. Francis of Assisi

Thank you Lord for the reminder. :)

ps. its ash wednesday

it's not that i forgot. i have remembered our lord on this day. and every day. i know and remember every day that i am a sinner. i look forward to this time of lent. i have much to think about, repent about, pray about. and the bonus of fasting to jump start my weight loss is always a plus. :) i can't make it to ash wednesday mass today. but i will read my scriptures and fast. do you participate in lent?

i am trying

ok. so i know that sounds like bull. in my defense, i really am trying. i am unorganized, easily distracted, and i never EVER make a to do list. not one that i look at or do anything with. it is my downfall i know. with that said. i am going to try my hardest to get back into blogging. ok, well not really back into it. cause i was never really good at it. i am so much more interesting then what i put here. well, at least i hope so, cause this blog has been pathetic for years. since the eagle is flying the coop for awhile, i thought i would try to post here to fill my time and days. seriously, so much happens in my day to day life, why not share some of the funny, amazing, embarrassing, creative, down right chaotic things i go through. since i am just awful at calling my friends on the phone- as you know, maybe i can play catch up here. sounds good to me. :)

let's begin:

today i will post a few pictures to catch everyone up on the williams family. my kids are growing like weeds. totally. ive tried to cut them back, but they just keep growing. the girls are exactly my height. 5'2". crazy. cam's feet are the size mine were when i was pregnant with her..a size 6.5. oh how i wish. mine grew after 3 babies. maybe they needed to be bigger to help carry around the bigger butt that came with it. it makes sense. she has great abs too....a tiny waist. i sound jealous of my tween/teen. oh i am just remembering the good old days, when i use to be skinny and swore i was fat. i wish i could go back and smack that girl and tell her be thankful...it could all change. :) izzy's legs are longer than mine and cam's. which is funny since we are all the same height, but she's got those long skinny legs- the ones that look fabulous in skirts and high heels. and we know this, cause she struts around the house in her heels. i have never worn heels. nor will i. man i wish i had those legs though. lucky girlie. :)

i'm just babbling on about my girls, they would probably be like mom how rude don't talk about us on here. i am very proud of them. they are beautiful and smart and funny. so i'm allowed.

and logan too. he's about an inch shorter than us. i really hope he gets to be 6'4" like his dad. wouldn't it be funny to have this tiny family and then alex is all big. i like him that way, as i've said before. he is strong and can do anything. so of course i hope logan grows up to be just like him. he tends to grow out first and then up...so that's where he is at right now. my baby 5th grader. :)

lacrosse just started for camille so she is back to sit ups, walking the dogs and running. she gets in amazing shape when she is doing sports- a very strong girl. i love that about spring time- my kids are out and about, action packed....i need to let them inspire me to do the same (walking- no lacrosee or mma for me thank you). logan and izzybelles are still into mma. as long as i don't have my own ufc matches right in my living room, i am good with it. logan is amazing at remembering all the rules and how to do the moves. izzy is good at just going for it. her no fear plays well in this. now if i could just combine the two they would be undefeated. :) maybe they can learn from one another...i said maybe.

school is going fine. they brought home progress reports- whatever they are called now. and they are all doing super. i couldn't ask for more in the learning department. they are little sponges just soaking it all in. teaching me things all the time, so it's kinda like i am still in school. although math is still not my best subject. the kids wonder how i passed college math if i cannot do 5th, 7th or 8th grade math? yeah, i'm really not sure how that happened. i can't remember how to do anything. thank goodness for the internet, how on earth could i help my kids with their homework otherwise. see i'm just rambling away...

i will make a list (cause you know i am so good at it) and come up with some way cooler things to blog about. today is just about getting started. taking that first step. forward. remembering this blog of mine and what it could mean for me.

anyone who comments will get a hand stamped card from me. (if i have your adddress, if not you can email it to me.) i already have the cards made...they are cute....i'm just sayin...

NOTE * so to prove that i really am disorganized, i could only find a picture of myself and the dogs. so there we are. i'll come back and add the rest, after i figure out where they are. probably still on my camera card. now if i could just find my camera...
