Yep. That's what it was called. The Winning Clubhouse. :)

October!
So, it's been a long time since I've been on this blog. We're probably in need of an update.
I had a lot of fun with this blog over the summer, became addicted, and then the busy semester took over. So I haven't been neglecting the blog on purpose. :)
This semester has been crazy for us. My classes are fun, but they're taking a lot out of me. I only wish I wasn't so rushed - I hate the feeling that I'm not giving them each 110%. But one of my classes is now over (and I'm happy to announce I got an A.) Now, I am in 3 classes and I have been beyond stressed! I have had tons of reading and lots of essay writing (3 essays are due this next week - wish me luck!) I have been busy trying to keep my head above water. Chad's been busy too. We haven't seen each other much the last few months.
The kids are doing pretty good. They're getting big.... Kala will be 5 very soon, even though to me she's already there, and little J-Race will be 2 in February. I can't believe it. And boy, have they been a handful! They've become extremely active and opinionated. They start fights with each other more than I'd like, and they crave attention 24/7.... if only there were 2 of me!
But the good times are still really good with them. They actually get along very well - they adore each other. Jace is talking a lot more, which is wonderful. I think my favorite is when he says "thank you." He says it so cute! His big sister is working on letters and sounds. We're really trying to push the reading thing. A lot of the kids at her school know how to read, and she kind of has a long way to go. We're working on it, though. She's smart enough, I just think that she likes the attention we give her more than she likes/wants to learn. So it's going very slow. It's hard to believe that kids her age are reading....
Let's see.... what has happened in the last few months? We've had major (and expensive) car problems that are now taken care of (many thanks to Chad's parents), the kids aren't in daycare as often now as they were when we started (because of the car problems), and we've all been sick and miserable, but have gotten over it. We're also going to Utah this December.... YAY! We may freeze to death, but we're all really excited to see everyone again - we miss them! :)
Also, Halloween is quickly approaching! Kala is really excited about it and we have yet to get Jacer a costume.... that's on today's "to do." Ideas, anyone?? (We're procrastinators, but not by choice!)
Last Halloween was dramatic... we were so busy that we weren't able to get a costume for Mykala until the day of. It was terrible.... the stores were packed with people and had little costumes left. We stood in a long line in order to get her one of the last costumes available. She looked great, of course, but it was a little too crazy! Hopefully it won't be the same thing this year for Jace. And I hope I'm able to find something fitting and cute. I'm already excited to take and post pictures of them all dressed up! :) I love Halloween!!!!
I can't believe that October is almost over already.... and soon it'll be 2011. Craziness.
