Life is good

So as you can tell I have taken quite the break from "blogging".  The fad of everyone doing it faded and life got busy and it got pushed to the side.  On a whim today, I pulled up this site and smiled to myself at the great memories I had posted in the past.  I really think that this is an important history for my kids and this is honestly something fairly easy to do. So why am I not keeping up with it anymore?
Today is a new day and today, I believe I will try to pick up the pieces and move on.  So much has changed in our life, yet so much is the same.  We live a wild ride of running here and there and to and fro.  Joey is 5 and half now getting ready for Kindergarten

 Leah is finishing up 2nd grade and just got baptized,

 Sarah is in 5th grade getting ready to turn 11,

 Bekah and Emma are in Jr high in 7th and 8th grade and doing fantastic.

 I started back to school in 2012 and am a full time student now and Zack changed jobs to work for Homecare Pharmacy and joined the Air National guard.

I know you are thinking, "Wow there is so much I missed!" I promise I will try to get on and post some of the pics and thoughts from those missing years, but that may happen in the slow or quiet moments of the months ahead.  I may even have the kids help me to remember and post stuff as they are in the internet world and are excited by this blog.
I also understand that no one may ever read this blog except myself and maybe my children, but that's all right because it is really fun to go back and see what happened when and how I felt about it.  If you are new and joining us along the way, welcome! Welcome to this wild ride of the "Nilson way of life".
