Facebook Free For 3!

While talking with my good friend Jill last night we decided to leave facebook for 3 days!  This would give me some time away from the force that sucks you in and never lets go. My goals are to be more productive and learn to live without wondering what everyone in the universe is doing at this very moment.

My first thoughts were 3 days?  Piece of cake! I've got this in the bag.  However, now that it is ten after one in the afternoon I am learning just how deep my addiction runs.   I have wanted to log on at least 3 or 4 times.  I also just received a status update on my phone and I wanted to log on and read the rest of the status.  (My phone only allows the first sentence to come through.)

So what have I learned from this so far?  That I am way too dependent on facebook.  LOL.  Although, the fact that I am stuck at home with a sick kiddo allows me more time to want to hop onto the computer.  If all of my kiddos are well tomorrow I have hopes that Tuesday will be a better day for facebook withdrawals.  haha!

Wish me luck! ;)

35

So Sunday was the big day as I turned  35 years young.  I was a little unsure of how the day would go and how I would feel since I pretty much had a mid-life crisis when I turned 34.  LOL.  Needless to say it was a good day and so far no crisis.  :)

So thinking about being 35 has made me think about my life and getting older and all that nonsense.    I thought I could list some of the reasons why my life is good at this age and what made my birthday a good one.  

1. My wonderful husband Brian who God made specifically for me, who also let me sleep in on my birthday! He had the day off and I was able to spend my special day with my most favorite person.
2. My oldest daughter Emersyn who understands that birthdays are special days, not just for her but for everyone else too.
3. My youngest daughter McKinlee who loves to sing and dance so she was really excited to sing Happy Birthday to me!
4. My youngest child and only son Paxton who was the first face I saw on my birthday when my husband and kids wished it to me.
5. Our friends, The Fallers who met us for a yummy lunch at one of my favorite places Texas Roadhouse. Also my friend Kandi who has a birthday 2 days before me so that we have double the reason to celebrate.
6. My family and friends who called and texted or posted on facebook to wish me a Happy Birthday. Especially my sister Cassie who is usually the first person to call bright and early in the morning every year on my birthday just like my mom used to.  I love that you sing to me.  Thanks Cass for always making me feel special in that way.
7. My best friend's husband and I share a birthday and every year it's a race to see who wishes the other a Happy Birthday first.  It makes it fun and I enjoy it, even though I lost this year.  ;)

I feel very blessed to have some amazing people in my life and I am excited to see what age 35 brings to me.  Thank you to all of you!

Can anyone be a Blogger?

I follow and read several blogs. Everytime I finish reading a new post I think to myself, man I wish I could blog like this.  So it got me to thinking what does it take to blog?
Some technological knowledge is required, obviously. How much could a blog say if one doesn't know how to turn the computer on or type? Haha. But from there, what is the next step? Does one post like they are talking to an actual individual or is it like an entry from a teen's diary with BF drama? Lol, maybe that's a little extreme but you catch the drift right?

I suppose the purpose of my blog would be to show a glimpse into my life and how our "House of Hulls" runs. As a mom I love to discuss the inner workings of our family of 5. If someone wants to read about that and maybe take something from it then its all worth it right?

I created my blog back in 2009 and my last post was in 2010. I didn't really understand blogging. Im still not certain that I've got the jist of it buy hey, I'm gonna give it a go!!!

What's new?

Easter 2010




McKinlee had fun watching us bowl.




Emma Kae enjoying the wonderful weather.





























Brian was off this past weekend and we had a really great time together as a family. We did some yardwork, hung out with friends, had a bbq and went on a hike during those 4 days. It was amazing! The weather was fantastic and it really was a great time.

Update

So it's been a while since I've logged on. I am still doing school and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel but it is becoming increasingly difficult. School is getting pretty hard and I am trying to get on top of it. Still figuring that out...

The girls are getting so big and they make me smile all of the time. Emersyn enjoys school and McKinlee loves being mobile. I signed Emersyn up for gymnastics today as she loves to be active. McKinlee has started regular food and loves it and will not even try a bite of baby food now, LOL. Emersyn will be turning 4 in June and McKinlee will be turning 1 in about three weeks. Crazy!

Brian is staying really busy at work and we appreciate that during this economy but his weekends off are really welcomed as well. :0)

We are becoming more active in our church and we are looking forward to warmer weather. We plan to do more camping this year and we also have a cousin's wedding in May that we look forward to.

Our first trip to Telluride was interesting to say in the least. One highlight from the trip was the ride on the gondola. Emersyn and I really enjoyed the ride itself along with the views! :0)

Camping at Silverjack Reservoir

McKinlee can now hold her head up! :0D

Telluride is really beautiful!

My two girls! :0) Emersyn is 2 1/2 in this picture and McKinlee is 11 wks.

New Blog

Ok, so my good friend Jill has a blog and I love seeing her pix and following her blog so I thought it might be fun to do my own! I'm really kinda new at this so we will see how it goes....LOL. I will be posting pix soon.
