Summer fun

My little Scarlett is now just over one month old and so sweet!! She had a cold over the weekend and fussed so much and I began to worry that maybe she was going to be a nightmare baby, but to my happy surprise she is much more content now. :) I am slowly adjusting to 6 kids too. It was very overwhelming at first and I was having some serious anxiety about taking them all out in public, but the last few weeks I have forced myself out of the house and the kids and I have gone to parks, hiking and on many picnics. I also have taken them to the beach the last few days due to this hot weather. It is my goal to go do things even though it is crazy chaotic! I don't want my kids growing up feeling that just because we have a large fam that we can't have fun! Chris has been wanting a boat for a very long time, and we found an amazing deal on one, and I have to say it is one purchase I will NEVER regret. We have had more fun as a family this Summer than ever. We love to take a Saturday and pack lots of unhealthy food and soda's and spend all day long on the lake swimming, tubing, and for Chris water skiing. It has truly been a blast creating awesome memories with my family!



So that is the update for now...my lack of blogging is a testament to how crazy busy my life has become with six kids, but I will work at it! :)
