Checkin' In

Wow. I have missed you guys. I have wanted to come on here many times and share updates throughout our busy summer but I just haven't. How's that for an excuse. Ha. To be completely honest friends I have just been a little overwhelmed with being a mama. I've tried to step away from the computer and it has been nice. Very nice. But I've missed ya'll. Somehow I need to find a balance of some kind....sigh.
Having four little ones at home this summer has proven to be a little busier than last year. I love it, but there are days when I just think..."oh my word could it get any crazier around here?!" ha!

I do plan to upload my pictures (at some point) and share what we've been up to but for now here is a crazy random post of just a few things swirling around in my brain...

:: Are you guys on Pinterest? It is beyond awesome. Basically it's a way to bookmark your favorite ideas. You can organize them all onto boards and see a little thumbnail image of whatever it is for a quick reference.

Then you can follow others to see what they are putting on their boards. I was super intimidated by it at first and had a hard time wrapping my mind around the whole idea, but now i am super addicted. When I first started I went through all my old bookmarks to add them to my boards. It was like Christmas finding all those old ideas and having the ability to organize them all visually. I love it so much and have already found so many new awesome ideas on it. If you're on it come find me. My user name is Sara Haynes.

:: This made me laugh so hard. Yaaaaaaa! I'm not the only one who thinks that! HA!


:: When I hear this song it makes me want to sign up for piano lessons...


:: Speaking of songs, I am so loving this one. I just makes me happy.


:: Last week I forced Elliot to be my real live doll. She wasn't really havin' it and refused to give me a big smile. But I still love this picture. Poor thing. It's a tough life having a photographer as a mama :)

Ok, that's all for now. Hope you are all having (or have had) a wonderful summer! We still have 3 weeks before school starts (yay!!!) so we're trying to savor every last minute!

  1. I can only imagine how full your life is with 4 kiddos! They are so blessed to have you for a mommy!
    I'm going to check out your Pinterest later! I'm scared of Pinterest, but I'm not sure why.

    Love the Jamie Grace song... I went and dedicated it to my hubby on Facebook. He loves Broncos! :)

  2. Pinterest = best thing EVER. I will be hunting you down (unless you get to me first).

    I love that Jaime Grace song. My daughter and I sing it at the top of our lungs every time it comes on.

    Oh my cuteness with the photo!
