When did blogging get so hard?
I truly haven't had a desire to blog in about four months. I don't know if its because I have had a job for five months and that is why, or the stress of life has just sucked its self out of me. We have had some really fun times too. Grandma and Grandpa Bennett came for Thanksgiving and we had so much fun with them. The boys got to see Santa when they were here, we of course celebrated Thanksgiving and we went to San Diego and so much fun at the San Diego Zoo and Sea World. I also won several games of rummy while they were here. If you have ever played rummy with Carol you would know why this is note worthy (it really is!). We had an amazing December where we had a holiday party every weekend, we played in the snow up at Mt. Charleston. We had a truly magical Christmas where all of our dreams were answered. Our January has been slower than december, always nice. William is taking college classes again so there have been many nights of him working on papers and homework. I am very happy and proud of all of his hard work in his classes. I am watching two kids and our own and so things are always busy during the day, but I love the nights and weekends where it is just our family. Lil'Will has started to take gymnastics class and his loves it!! I am so excited to go with him on Wednesday nights. He has a great teacher and he loves doing all the things on the bars and rings. She makes all these super cool obstacle courses for them and he loves to rush the girls through them so he can get done super fast! James is being potty trained right now. He really didn't have much of an interest until I upped the ante and he now gets 5, yes thats right, count them 5 M &M's for going to the bathroom in the potty!! I am willing to spend the money on the M&M's just so I don't have to spend the money on the diapers. I am even willing to deal with the hyped up baby boy just not to deal with nasty diapers!! Last night after going to the bathroom on the toilet he did a special big boys go potty on the potty dance on the top of our kitchen table!! It was super cute!! I wish I had gotten a video to show you all. Now that you are all caught up I will try and find pictures to go with this exciting news!

His happy big boy potty dance reminds me of our tile dance as roomies, though I can't remember why,he must get that from his mommy. Too cute!
Blogging can be really hard to fit in! I love doing it, especially since I no longer find the time to scrapbook or journal. Blogging is my combo of the two and it is REALLY important to me so that we have all the memories to look back on (otherwise I forget a lot of stuff).
sounds like you guys have had a ton of fun!! Congrats to Will too for being back in school!
Next time we visit I am gonna change your Rummy record, Emily!!! Seriously, it was tons of fun and I love playing Rummy with family. I have definitely missed seeing the pictures on your blog but I really understand how busy it is with 4 kids. Tell James that Grandma is SUPER proud of him and will be sending additional M & Ms for Valentine's Day. :)
Congrats on the key to potty training! M&M's can fix anything!!!
I love the booty shot picture. thanks for the up date. We so love you all!
