That being said - I want to chronicle the 'days in the lives' of the Moorheads... Of course the kids... because I'm a bragger (I'm a mom!! HELLO!!!)... But- really I love reading other peoples blogs... Not sure if anyone reads mine - except me... Like over and over again looking for grammatical errors... crap... did I spell that right??? haha.... Over and over again in my head...
ANYWAY... Of late - we've had alot of action going on... Our summer has been pretty lazy - we've been to the pool two or three times... We have albino-ish kids (other than Haden who got Daddy's skin) so mom is a little scared of too much sun - and I always feel like a whale - so... there ya go... haha.... That doesn't really sound like too much action - but with work.. climbing that corporate ladder (Jeremy), keeping the house somewhat in order, spending as much time with the kids as possible, 'family' stuff, visitors, yadda yadda yadda yadda.... (the family stuff is the ACTION!!!)
My sisters came to visit the first week of August... We haven't been together (all of us) in over 5 years... Which is RIDICULOUS... But with a sister in the Navy in Tennessee, a sister married to a Navy man in California and a sister who just had a baby right up the road - it has been insanely impossible for us to be TOGETHER....
I have to say that there was ALOT of anxiety before the visit - not so much on my part... I live here... I deal with 'the parent' anxiety all of the time... But it was a really nice visit... Six Flags, the zoo (which we will probably like NEVER visit again... how any times can you see sleeping animals and monkeys digging in their butts?????) Anyway - my sisters also had the chance to 'meet/see' our brother Lee and his family for the first time in 16 years... which was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE to be back in contact with Lee and his family... His sister Taylor automatically has 3 more sisters!!! and once they meet Jer's side of the family - she and he both have 8 more sisters AND another brother! That's LOTS and LOTS of kids!!!!
This is Me, Beth, Lee, Mel and Taylor... (we couldn't get OUR kids to accommodate!)
This one is a little fuzzy - but Lee's momma is in it.. She and Mike (and Grandma and Grandpa) did a REALLLLLLY good job of raising a good kid...ummm... correction - MAN!!! He's going into the freaking MARINES!!! HELLLO!!!!
Ok - so that part of the girls (Mel and Beth) trip was absolutely the HIGHLIGHT of the week - but me being me - I have to be mushy a little... I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to have my sisters back home... in my home... their little sleepy heads were snoozing under Jer and I's roof....I seriously - felt COMPLETE... While that might be TOTALLY goofy - I LOVE my sisters not only as sisters... I love them as the pretty little awkward kids that they were... The teenagers that I didn't know well enough... And now - the beautiful, smart, talented, loving, driven, "I CAN DO IT ALL", mmmmmpppppcccchhhhwwwwaaaa women that they have become... It's like insanely nutness that we are all about to be in our 30's... Mel has 4.5 months to hit the 30 mark... but WOW... are we REALLLLLLLY here? Did we all freaking buck the system and break the cycle of idiocy??? Honestly - yes, we all did... everyone has their hang ups - but totally conscious of them.... The first step in anything is accepting the fact that you aren't perfect - right??? Whew... (wiping tears away while reading this to Jeremy) - I really am proud of my sisters... and myself... wooo to the freeaaakkkiiinnngg hoo!!! Good job... Kim, Beth, Mel and ME!
In this pic - Beth, Kim and Alex, Hannah, Tab, Caden, Haden, Holton, Me and Mel... :)
I PROMISE (to me) to blog more... and freaking record this crap... (I'm trying not to cuss) - so.... at this point all I've got is - I love you Beth, Mel and Kimberly.... More than I can ever ever say or show... You are my girls... you might POSSIBLY read this if I send you the freaking link... but really... I love you...
Love - Heather Feather....
