This I know for certain...
That being a mommy is NOT for sissies! That this "mommyhood" really is really HARD work and that raising quadruplets is DIFFICULT! I know that I have wanted children since before I can remember. I know that LOVE my husband & children more that I could ever say! I know that someone must know more than me when they say you can potty train toddlers! LOL! I know that if a toddler is quiet for too long they will get into T-R-O-U-B-L-E! I know that I have to put bibs on them at EVERY meal if I do not want to do more laundry than I already do! I know that our life is all about schedules! I know that there is NEVER enough time in the day to accomplish my tasks! I know that God gives us no more than we can handle. I repeat this to myself MANY times during the day! LOL! I know that I absolutely LOVE when I take on a new "mission", the harder it is to achieve the better! I know that blogging is my new found passion! Being able to capture all of their "priceless" moments for posterity! LOVE it! And most of all I know that in this CRAZY life we lead that I am exactly where I need to be!...
This I know for certain...

just like my mom did...
Ok, SEVERAL people have asked me how do I do this? How do I find the time to keep up this blog. Well, the easiest answer is that I multi task. I really do believe that my previous full time job prepared me for this life as a "quad mom". As a dispatcher you have to be able to MANY things at once. I also do most of the entries when they are napping. So this is the "How" but now for the "Why". I had the most wonderful mother that kept up a "baby book" for me, her 4th child. I must say that she did this for all 4 of us. When I say kept up I REALLY mean it. This baby book was unlike any other out there. It is called "All my Life". It starts at my birth & continues through out my life. Each of us kids had one & my stay at home mom kept it up till we could take over. So I have entries from my mom till I was about 15. EVERY program from church, choir is in there. ANYTHING & EVERYTHING that pertained to me she made sure was in my baby book. I LOVED this baby book so much that way before I ever was married I wanted to secure a few of them for my future family. Low & behold the baby book company CR Gibson that made them discontinued this great book. I was lucky to find 2 baby books so I bought them. SO I put them aside with the Christmas stockings I had my grandmother knit for these children I did not have. I ALWAY'S wanted 4 kids so I had her make 4 stockings. It is SO wild how things worked out like they did. I finally met Michael & we married when I was 32. Then we do not think we could any have babies. After beating the odd's God gave me these 4 miracles & I now have a stocking for each one. Now back to the baby books. Since I now have 4 babies I would need 2 more baby books to be complete. I could not find 2 more so what was I to do. I searched everywhere but could not find 2 more. SO I needed to figure something out PLUS keeping up 4 baby books all at the same time would be SO hard so I decided to start a blog. This would be their "baby book". This way I write about things they each do & they can read about all of it when they get older. I just hope that I can keep up their baby book ...
just like my mom did...

it's a QUADathon!
love,
Isn't life amazing....
Each and EVERY day these little buggers of mine AMAZE me! They are SO smart & continually show me that. It all started with one little step at a time. Now it has turned into a race!! They are full speed ahead & I am just along for the ride! I must say that it is the ride of my life! When I was younger the phrase was "You are a trip with no luggage". That is a good description of my life; full of laughs, laughs and more laughs! Too many occur & definitely not enough time to write about them! I will however include a recent one from a recent visit with Aunt Jodi (AJ) & Uncle Philip. Cam Cam did another "funny". (that is what I call most of my blog entries, funnies). They, just like any "newbie" that comes into contact with our four amazing little people always say the same thing... They are SO good! Do they think we raise ANIMALS! ha! They really are good & GOD has blessed us immensely in that dept. He gave us the pick of the litter!! (= It may take them 20 minutes to get to know you but once they are warmed up there is no telling what they might do. They LOVE people! I wonder where they get that from!? ha! (= Well, Miss Cam Cam loves to amuse & did not let them down last night! After dinner Cam snuggled with Aunt Jodi as she danced around the room. AJ assumed she was going to sleep because she was so still. Don't ever assume! ha! She was so proud of herself getting her to "sleep" when all of the sudden Cam bounce's up, smiles & shakes her head "no" as in I am not sleeping you silly woman! "AJ" just laughed! She really did fool her! Too bad they live so far away.. if not, they could experience this daily! The babe's learn SO much from all of us. I have noticed that the more I "blog" the more they want to "blog" too! They now think this keyboard is a toy. Uh oh! My only hope is that they grow up to be writers! I can wish can't I??
Hopefully 20 years from now when they read my post's they will know how much their mommy loves them! Remember 20 years down the road is the light at the end of my tunnel!! (=
