Am I the ONLY one?...

Am I the only one who is ready for school to start already?

You may think it is because I have sooooo many kids and that they are driving me crazy, but that is simply NOT the case!

I hate that we don't have a routine anymore...
I hate that we don't eat dinner til 8:00 at night...
I hate that even though the kids stay up later, they still get up at the BUTT crack of dawn...
I hate getting up to run at 6:00am (Even though I feel great afterward, I am NOT a morning person!)...
I hate that NO matter what, all the kids need baths EVERY night due to playing outside all day...

I know that you think that this post is really negative, but that is how I am feeling right now:)

Am I really the only one that feels this way?

Memorial Weekend...

Our Weekend was purely crazy...but lots of fun! We started it off Friday by going to 2 graduations, Maryssa's from the 8th grade, and Chace and JTs from High School. Saturday morning Brandon and I went to the temple, then we came home and got ready for Miles and Mallori's birthday bash. Sunday we relaxed and enjoyed only going to 1 hour of church...is that bad of me to say? Monday, we spent the entire day out at the ranch and worked in the garden, hauled rocks for a project of my dads, cleaned the big building, spent time trying to fish at the pond, and worked on some crafty projects I needed to get going. All in all it was a great weekend!!

*****************

Sure do love this girl!! Not sure what I would do without her...I couldn't ask for a better nanny!!

Maryssa...we hope you know how much the Martineau family loves and adores you!! We are so proud of the beautiful and talented young woman that you are! We look forward to seeing everything you will accomplish over the next 4 years!!


Maryssa and her favorite Aunt Tiff!

What can I say about these 2 crazy boys!! Can't believe they are all graduated and gonna be leaving on missions!

Chace and JT...We will miss you two like CRAZY! We are so proud of the both of you...but we know we haven't even seen the half of what you will accomplish in life. It's been fun watching you play ball, date the hotties, and to see your testimonies form.
WE LOVE OUR 2 BUBBAS!!!

Chizzy and Bubba T

We had a blast celebrating these little munchkins birthdays. Since they are only 1 year and 3 days a part, (no they aren't twins:)...I actually a lady ask me if they were just after I got done telling her Miles was 2 and Mallori was 1:), we decided to celebrate them on the same day!

They were hilarious to watch as everyone sang to them and as they got to dig into Mallori's cake!
I will do their birthday posts as soon as I take some GOOD pictures of them!

Do they get any cuter than this?

Gotta love this girl!

Can it be....

(Not my favorite pic but it was the 1st one I found)

Can it really be 9 years ago that I knelt across the altar and was sealed to this man for time and all eternity?

The past 9 years have been a crazy ride!!

What would I change about the past 9 years?...NOTHING!!

I Love you Brandon Wayne Martineau!! Thank you for loving me through it ALL!!
