Crazy Life

So it has been almost a month and so much has happened....well, you be the judge....

*Lots of phone calls for birthdays and anniversaries (March is a very busy month for my family)
*A trip to Florence with Alyssa, Troy, us, and Collettee (Alyssa's friend) which meant Archer's first time at the beach...Zoey's too... I will post pics soon
*Buying a van (it's used but it works for us) so that we and all of our stuff will fit when we need to go somewhere
*A trip to Florence the next weekend with just us to spend the weekend with Talbot's brother and Dad
...another two trips to the beach and more pics
*A phone call that Talbot's 81 year old grandmother had moved on to her next life
*Spring Break trying to get everything cleaned up at the house as well as helping out with a funeral where we could
*A trip to Redmond for a funeral and to help Talbot's mom pack up a house and get a storage unit
*Driving back from Redmond with a truck full of stuff and an extra passenger (Talbot's mom is currently staying with us and other family members for awhile)
*A trip to AZ for Troy and Alyssa so that she could be with her grandfather who is not doing well
*Thankful that Talbot's mom is staying with us to help watch kids while I am at work and Talbot has his appointments for his shoulder
*Another trip to Redmond for Talbot and his brother to finish getting everything squared away at Grandma's (now Talbot's mom's) house...this one in the lovely snow storm on the mountain
*Deciding to make the switch to cloth diapers and finding the pattern and getting all of the supplies to make them (now I just have to get them made...they are mostly ready to be cut out so that I can sew them)
*A calling in scouting that keeps me busy every Wednesday, the first Thursday of the month, and the second Friday of the month
*And finally the usual suspects that occur when you have a family of three, a family of five, and a mom-in-law in residence.

So what do you think...is that crazy enough for you?
