Our Nanny is NUTS hahah - but we love her!

So - Melissa now has a routine trip to the movies 1 or 2 times a week. The Cobb Theater shows free movies all summer long for the kids. It's actually a really good idea because you she can teach the little ones to sit nice at the movies at a young age. And if anyone has a melt down they can leave since the movie is free. So - she loads up all 6 kids and heads out - very daring adventure, but if she can't do it nobody can! So - today Mason, Lydia, the triplets, and Collin headed to see Nanny McPhee Returns!!

Finally pictures....and a promise to blog more often

Ok ..... going to try to blog more often I promise. All has been well here, been very busy as usual! Melissa & Lydia moved out of our house the beginning of June to a cute apartment close by. It has been weird having them gone and we miss them, but both families also are enjoying having more space :-) The great news is that she is now our private nanny! She comes each morning by 7:30 and watches my kids and one other little boy who is 2, Collin. She has watched him as one of the day care kids and he's just a sweet little boy. She is loving only watching the 4 little ones instead of the entire day care clan and my kids are loving it as well because they get to go out and do thing almost every day. So far they have been to the movies, the zoo in Tampa, the park, and the children's museum in Lakeland which they really liked. They are also able to go out for lunch or the occasional dinner if I am running late from work. That brings me to another update. I was given a promotion at work and as of May 2nd, I am now the transportation supervisor. My boss Chet left to pursue other opportunities. So far so good - I am enjoying the new challenge. It involves more work and more hours, but I also get to travel a bit here and there and am feeling more challenged.

This past weekend I was in WI for a long weekend. Mason, Tanner, & I flew in on Thursday morning. Tanner and I stayed until Sunday night and Mason is still there! He stayed with my parents till Thursday and is now at Grandma & Grandpa Gorkas until Saturday when he will fly back with Grandma who is coming for a short visit. He has been having fun. Went to the park, to a movie, and fishing with Grandpa & Uncle Shawn. That was by far his favorite thing! He told me last night he caught 3 "keepers" hehe.

That is about good for now I think. The triplets are doing great - into EVERYTHING though - always looking for trouble it seems. Have to keep all the bedroom doors locked and gate up in ktichen to keep tabs on them. It's tons of fun though!
