Life

 I have come to the conclusion that there is really only one of me...all this time I was mistaken ..........and my brain is mush and I have do not have a short or long term functioning memory any longer. And I am wearing I suck as a mom button this week.......that is all. :)
The following pics depict my life:....this week)

Warning....

Thinking of putting this in my kid's rooms...

Catch Up

So..blogging has taken last place in my life do to soccer, my calling, school stuff, Chris's job etc etc....some days I really fell like I hit the floor running and do not stop until I fall asleep at night....oh well...anyways...the last few months have been busy and fun....Chris went hiking with his dad in April....as you can tell from the pictures...they picked the wrong trail...all uphill......poor guys...Chris was sore for days...and I am not sure he will ever do that again...but here are some cute pics :) 

We also got a cat!!! 

And I think I am still in shock.....I am so not a cat person...I do not like the smell, hair and well they are sketchy...you never know if you can trust them...

but so far I am doing ok...found cat liter that does not smell and the kitty is really sweet...follows me around the house all day, tries to eat my feet at night and likes to sleep on my head...which scares the living crap out of me..but I am dealing :) I will take a few pics and post them soon. 

Soccer Sisters!!!

The girls have loved playing soccer...Sadie plays attacking defender, and Ana plays forward.....

Chris started playing in an adult league..so we have been up to our ears in soccer. 

Knowledge Bowl

Sadie competed on her school's knowledge bowl team...they placed 5th out of 11 schools..which I thought was great!! She is now full of random facts about stuff...just like her ole dad :) 

                                             Oh and I had a birthday..I am getting soooo old....

Mother's day rocked..my family really spoils me :) I have some of the sweetest kiddos ever and a pretty amazing husband to...I am blessed. 

                                             And well I think I have caught up..sort of :) 

                                                                    The End

It is has been a busy fun filled few weeks!! I am feeling very blessed and loved. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for all of it. Hope everyone had a very Happy Easter!                                      

Art and Mud

Sadie got to go with her gifted class on a field trip to an art museum in Nashville...... (they had just gotten back and don't they all look thrilled! Ha ha......she had a blast and was sweet enough to bring us back some souvenirs...

 

And since spring is here in full blast..we have been doing some yard landscaping...the kids decided to help us out...

Just because....

I have actually thought about this ha ha....


And well....this could be really helpful!




And could not stop laughing at this one.....saw this it on my friend's facebook page....still makes me laugh....

Life keeps happening

Howdy!! Long time........Life just keeps happening and I keep trying to catch up...so let's recap..
My sweet little Sadie is growing up way way to fast...she turned ten last month..Sheesh..I feel so old.
Chris and I lost our minds and took her and 5 friends ice skating and then out to eat.



I really hope she remembers this when she is 16 and well you know what I mean....

Valentine's bought us lots of love and Chocolate.... and a new CAR....Chris got a Honda pilot. It looks just like the pic below...and I am kinda jealous.... I like driving it and feeling like I can run people over..I am nice huh?? it is the first time I have owned a big car....but alas me and my little Mazda are still going strong..:)




And Sadie placed 3rd in the county corn bread contest. Ok....This one is a true Bingham moment...see a month or so into the school year Sadie comes home and says Mom, I got voted in as Vice-president in this organization....which one I asked...to which Sadie replied....oh it is something about the number 4 and a H..?? I laughed out loud and said....you mean, 4-h? Yep, that is it...she said and was very determined to be a model 4-h member. This is from a kid who hates bugs, dirt and most animals..but alas she loves to bake so she found her mecca.
I did not....I totally forgot about the competition and so on the day of.....about an hour before it began she remembers it and throws together the ingredients..bakes it and takes off with her very annoyed father to submit her entry. She had to write the recipe on the back of a receipt b/c they left it here and well she actually placed!!!! So if you need some bake goods....Sadie lady is the queen :)



Chris was pumped b/c got asked to be the ring side Doc at an AMA fight.....he had always wanted to go to one and well he got to go free and got paid...and to top it off he now has some very cool stories to tell. His ring side pic.
.



This has been my motto lately :) got the pic via pinterest...can not find the source but whoever did it is my long lost twin.
See I got called as the Relief Society president at my church...big gulp....yep that is right. So naturally I have been eating large amounts of chocolate :) But really I am so very honored and so very humbled by the call. I have been overwhelmed by the presence of the Holy Spirit and how much the Lord is helping me. My testimony is strong that this call was inspired and now I just have to have Faith that I can do this. I have two very amazing ladies to work with and a great bishop. I am so very grateful for the support that I am constantly receiving. So when you are saying your prayers..if you could just pop my name in there..I would owe you big time :)


Wy guy is all boy (aka always covered in dirt) with a hint of flare...he can wrest, kick and throw with the best of them but turn on the music and the kid has some serious moves...any advice out there?? he can pick out harmonies, sing along with most songs and has great rhythm...Chris and I have zero musical talent so I think I need help.. His favorite things are the swing and dirt outside, a purple headband..(ha ha) his sock monkeys and muse zack..as he says it. Oh and anything he can throw.

Ana is great as well. Doing great in school and is still all about the crafts.........She has paper, markers and glue sticks hidden all over her room. I guess she is worried about a shortage and well she has her stock pile.

I am still working out every day...and I realize you can be really fit but still not small...Errr...I am proud that I am in good cardiovascular shape but I really wish my body fat would get the memo and hit the road. Oh well..I have a rockin husband and cute kids :) it makes it all better!!!!
