Okay...nevermind

So it's been one year exactly since I decided to make my blog private.  Since then I have done absolutely nothing with it!!  I guess I'll keep it open.  I'm gonna get going on this blogging thing again too.  I'm not gonna go through and make posts for everything that has happened over the last year though.  So a quick catch up.  I had a baby.  Emily Jane makes baby number four for our family and she is a great little addition.  She went through a very fussy, clingy phase which got pretty frustrating for me. (And others, sorry sitters. And Kirk.)  She recently stopped nursing and then was switched to soy formula and is back to the happy little thing she used to be.  It's great because now I like her again! ;o)  Not that I ever stopped loving her.  Ellie started the 2nd grade in September and is excelling.  She is reading at an end of the year 3rd grade level and doing advanced math as well.  She is continuing her tap lessons and piano lessons.  And she loves it.  She will be 8 in just over a week now and is very excited for her upcoming baptism.  Paden started Kindergarten in September and absolutely LOVES school!!  He too is reading and doing math at an advanced level.  His teacher adores him and is always telling me stories about things he has done or said.  She likes his unique way of speaking and told me she will purposely ask him questions just to hear him answer.  Riley is our little bulldozer!!  He is loving his alone time with Mom and Dad while the older kids are at school.  Luckily Emily doesn't take too much time from his attention from Daddy.  Even if she did I don't think he would mind too much.  He loves his little sister and is always telling me what a "cute, widdo pwincess" she is.  Riley has such a cute and fun personality.  He cracks me up. Right now he is obsessed with black.  He wants everything to be black right down to his future children.  He is hilarious.  Kirk is busy with work and school.  He will be finishing his bachelor program this summer and we are so excited for him to be done!!  I keep busy as a stay at home mom and part time cake decorator.  I love that I get to raise my children.  Not that everyday is perfect.  Heck, I don't think we've had a perfect day at all but I love it and wouldn't want it any other way.  Well...there's a quick catch up.  I promise to be a little better with this whole blogging thing.  But just a little...
