I'm the world's worst blogger...

I have a new goal to blog at least twice a week because my blog has been SO neglected lately... we'll see how this goes.

Life has been crazy busy lately... weddings, bridal showers, birthdays, etc. etc. etc. Seriously, this is the craziest time in our house and it won't slow down until the new year. I really should feel happy and blessed that we have so many friends and family to celebrate all of these special occasions with, and do not get me wrong, I LOVE it but it is also a little stressful! Usually, I am so laid back (maybe even a little too much) about money, however it is so crazy how much all of these things add up. And like they say, "When it rains, it pours!" Oh my, that is SO true! Oh well, I just need to pray that we make it through to January when things will slow down a little :) On a side note, Saturday was Cash's first birthday party and it went way better than I could have ever hoped, despite having all of our family crammed up in our HOT house (the air decided not to work that day). Everything was so fun though. I just have to learn to cherish these moments... oh he is just growing too fast! I seriously cry every time I think about it. I even teared up during "Happy Birthday!" Everyday I think, please just stay a baby one more day! OK, OK I have to move on from this topic because I am a little too emotional right now!

Lately, I have been trying so hard to find something fun for Cash to do that isn't ridiculously expensive. I mean, we can only go to McDonald's, splash pads, swimming, shopping, out to lunch and read so many times a day :) ha ha OK, you caught me I don't really do all of those everyday. I do however feel like I am running out of things to do. I try to be creative and fun, but Cash is SO hyper he wants something to do every minute of the day. So I have been looking for some classes for him and long story short, the more I look, the more motivated I am to just start my own toddler program of some sort. Probably like a Little Gym type... I will keep you all posted on that one :)

Thanks for listening to my rambling! Love you all and have a fabulous night!

Baby Pritchert #2...

I know after reading the title, you all think I'm pregnant... I am not! However, lately Matt and I have been thinking another one would be pretty great :) I know Cash would just LOVE it! He loves being around other kids, and lately I am feeling like I have a little too much time on my hands so maybe that is a sign that I should get busy again.....ha ha no pun intended! On a side note, Cash took his first steps about 3 weeks ago and now is a walking machine WOO HOO!

LOVE our families :)

Just some pictures of fun family time we have been having lately... we love all of you guys! Is there anything better than family? As dorky as it sounds, it seriously is my favorite thing to do, just have fun with the fam :)I have the BEST cousins! All weekend (and everytime we see them) they were so helpful with all of the babies... the sweetest girls ever!

Fourth of July Fun!

Matt and I went up to my grandparent's cabin in Lakeside to celebrate the Fourth of July. After a rocky start (only sleeping for one hour and then loading up the car at 2:30am so Cash would sleep during the trip) we arrived around 6:00 and were surprised to see that the entire gang was already awake... around 5:00am a bear came to visit in the backyard and got everyone a little excited, needless to say! Matt spent the day golfing with my uncle, grandpa and our brothers, while I stayed at home hanging out with the family. On Saturday, we held the 1st Annual Family Olympics! The Blue Team won the "The Shill Cup!" Of course Matt and I were on the winning team :) It is crazy how much fun you can have throwing footballs into pack n plays, seeing how far you can kick your shoe, playing volleyball, badminton and tug-a-war! Yes, we did all of those games in about 2 hours! Oh yeah, we also had a home run derby (sorry Blue team for letting you down on that one!) After the oympics,Matt and I loaded up the car with Cash and two of our favorite cousins and headed over to Taco Bell! As if that wasn't great enough, we jammed out to MileyCyrus and Taylor Swift the way there and back! ha ha I know, I need to be a 12 year old girl! That night we went down to Taylor for the 4Th of Ju-ly rodeo! I know July might look funny to some of you, but my family always laughs at how everyone there says it. Instead of July they say pronounce it like Jew Lie LOL! To our amazment little Cash Man was so well behaved a the rodeo. He loved looking at the horses and watching the fireworks! We always love going to the cabin in Lakeside and this is a trip we will never forget... mostly because we had 4 babies all sleeping in the basement with me, Matt and our siblings :) Sorry guys, hopefully next time Cash won't keep everyone up all night! It was a short trip, but oh so fun! Let's just hope the Blue Team can win the Shill Cup again next year ha ha!

Cash's New Do!

I couldn't get any great pictures... but you get the idea :) While I do think $20.00 is ridiculously expensive for a baby's haircut, I think it just might be the best $20.00 I have ever spent! I love his new do :)

So Big! Please stop the time!!!

I cannot believe how big Cash is... I just looked at him today and he looked like a little boy, not a baby. So crazy!!! Someone please tell me when he got so big!
