What's New With The HOFFS?

It's been quite a while since I've really blogged. I found myself so overwhelmed with what to choose to write that everytime I came on to blog, I'd just close it out. So, since the kids are in bed and it's pretty early considering I've been going to bed at 11 or 12 lately, I figured I'd sum up a bit of everything that I want to share.

1. Oh my gosh, I just asked my husband what the date is today and realized... IT'S BRIELYN'S 9 MOS. BIRTHDAY!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIE BRIE! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

2. Brielyn now has a total of 7 teeth... and I'm still breastfeeding

3. Bart and Lyndsay had their 15th wedding anniversary and had a vow renewal last weekend. Many beautiful words spoken, it was a precious moment. And.. I have to mention, some of us danced until the DJ kicked us off the floor. Alexa stayed up dancing til 12:30 AM.. she's the one you have to watch! Ask and she'll tell you... "Mommy's fravrite song Low, Low, Low, Low.. Apple Bottom Jeans... boots with the fur.....she hit the flo... "

4. Chris and I are excited about leaving for Las Vegas on July 3rd without kids for 5 days to celebrate Sue Hoff's 50th Birthday. Thanks Mimi in advance for offering to watch the kids. And, thanks Hoff's for inviting us on this special vacation... WE CAN'T WAIT. Pictures to follow

5. My LIFE STYLE CHANGE is going great... to date, I've lost a total of 16 pounds.

6. I've realized that there's 2 things you can't go cheap on... TOILET PAPER AND PAPER TOWELS. The toilet paper I learned when I moved out on my own. My mom always bought the toiletries so I didn't know. Going to the bathroom wasn't as relaxing and became even painful...Once I visited Mom for the first time, WOW what a difference, my mom's toilet paper didn't hurt and it was SOOO SOFT.. I asked my mom and she uses CHARMIN ONLY! I've never bought anything else since. So, we were in need of paper towels and with 2 little ones, we go through them like crazy.. I bought some off brand and let's just say... THEY ARE SO CHEAP THEY DON'T EVEN RIP AT THE PERFORATIONS. So, you end up using twice as much so what's the point???? I was so frustrated til they were gone. BOUNTY ONLY.. I DON'T CARE HOW BROKE WE ARE!

7. Please pray for our Brielyn. She has had a clogged tear duct since birth and it never opened. She's having surgery at Long Beach Memorial on June 20th (Friday) and will be put to sleep. Your prayers are appreciated.

8. We've made a hard decision to search for a new church. IT'S BITTER SWEET. We'll miss many at Revolution. But, Chris and I look forward to continuing our relationships. As well, we look forward to meeting new people and building new friendships. We also look forward to continuing to attend our growing Bible Study on Sundays.

9. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! (To all that apply.) I'm super thankful for my dad and my father in law. I am very blessed to have a great daddy I look up to him in many ways and super blessed to have the best father in law (that's a bonus) .My children are also BLESSED to have the Best Daddy ever.

10. And I can't leave out that my husband just looked at me and said " I can't wait to get a Hoveround and when we're old we can cruise together." If you don't know what a Hoveround is or you haven't seen the commercial, check them out. For some reason, I CAN WAIT.

May you have sweet sleep and a restful night.
