Well, we haven't blogged in a very long time and we were looking back at past blog posts and really enjoyed reading what was going on at that time because life is busy and documenting these time to later reflect back offers a lot of perspective on what we all go through. The highs and lows of life are what help us grow as individuals. We learn so much and we shouldn't forget the experiences that helped form us. Hopefully we'll try to post more frequently so you can enjoy our life as much as we are :)

I'm not going to recap what has been going on since our last post because OH MY that would be a huge post.  Recently though, this is what has been going on in our life.

Brandon was laid off Jan 31 from Academy, but started back to work on March 19 with Capco, a previous consulting company he worked for before.  Since Ashlie is pregnant with our 4th child....i know, 😮we still can't believe it either, but we are so excited, this lay off was really enjoyable for the both of us.  We were blessed so much to spend some quality time with one another.  So many times we are so busy that its hard to find the time where it is just the both of us, so it really was an enjoyable time and loved it very much.

All kids are doing great in school with Maddyson (7th grade) Payton (3rd grade) and Harper (k).  Maddyson made district track meet for shot put.  She has done a tremendous job throwing shot this year and has come a long way from the beginning where she was throwing about 20ft to throwing 28ft.  School soccer has now started up and she is excited about playing with a lot of her friends at school.  Club soccer is still continuing as well.  Payton and Harper are playing softball and will have another Saturday full of games, 2 games each, this weekend.  It is really fun watching them play and grow in the sport.

We have been getting stuff around the house with some new bedroom furniture, a new sectional for the living room since the dogs chewed the couch a year ago when we were gone on a ski trip, 😡 ugh.  Then again we are preparing the baby's room too.  We have done a pretty accent wall with distressed wood and in the center we will have a wood monogrammed initials of her.  We are waiting on her furniture as well.  Ashlie is 29+ weeks, so not too much longer!!
