Blessed with Six

I am not very good at blogging. I mainly wanted to start a blog so my extended family could keep up with my crew. I haven't posted anything since Monday. This has been a busy week, but what week isn't. We will be slammed until Addison graduates High School. So I can't look for any rest for another 16 years. By then I will be grandmother.  This week was baseball drafts. Mike is coaching two team. He is coaching Brady in mustang-which is kid pitch, and he is coaching Colby in Colt. Colt is so cute. They have no umpires, they all get to hit and run the bases. No outs. The spirit of these  little guys is so sweet. They are totally unaware that next year they face some hard realities in rec ball. Once they get to the Shetland league everything gets so competitive. It truly blows my mind how some of these parents act.  I guess I can sit back and shake my head because I have been there and done that as well. Lived it Learned it.  Daulton started playing baseball at 4. At the time

In May of 2006 we sold our first home. We were in dire need of a larger one since we had 5 children. The last week of May we were in the process of moving our belongings into storage and getting ready to remodel the home we were purchasing, when out of the clear blue-- the line appeared! I remember taking Michael breakfast that Monday morning after I had taken the kids to school and taking the test. He came out to the van and said " What's wrong", I looked at him and said, " I took a pregnancy test".. He just smiled and said "well you must be pregnant since you are telling me that you took the test" but then he said the sweetest thing that made all the difference. 'Honey, we have never been more prepared in our whole lives. It will be fine. God will take care of us." Michael has a great since of humor, he claims it is peeing on the stick that gets you pregnant! (lol) But, talk about stress, we were moving in with my husbands parents for four

I have been pondering this for a while, creating a blog that I can share and keep track of all the exciting events that happen in my daily life. Being the mother of 6 is not an easy job. Seriously, I am the most unorganized person I know, and the good Lord saw to it that he would bless me with 6 amazing children. He must be trying to create a new work in me and I just don't get the hint! Please bear with me as I post "current events" in the Hill Clan, we are a work in progress, we will never be perfect but probably perfectly unpredictable. I never know what pitch life is going to throw at me next... lets just hope I don't strike out!! -pg
