So many post... so little time!

Considering it has been almost a month since I have posted I thought I would update and tell you all what has been going on in this crazy little families lives!! As most of you know our home is like "THE BIDDLE-INN" & we love it! we love to have family & friends visit and hate when the partay ends!
Sydney & McCall are back! They are having a GREAT time babysitting.. not for us & loving the money they are making!!! Some days we don't see them but that's ok because they are happy to have spending money for target and our trip to California to see MOMMY! Carol has been having a little RETREAT in beautiful CA, near San Diego with her favorite doctor in the world Dr Robert Young. The PH Miracle doctor helping her get her cancer in a PH state so that we can enjoy the rest of our lives with her. She is the nicest, sweetest, most caring mom and so we want her to take all the time she needs to heal herself! This weekend we're off to CALIFORNIA to have fun, relax & hang out on the beach!!! The girls are a little freaked out because of the recent SHARK ATTACK near San Diego and so they say they may not be spending to much time in the water at the beach.
The best part is that COURTNEY is here with Paige and so we have been having fun here, I can't lie, we don't do much.. actually most days we haven't really even gotten dressed but we are having so much fun lounging and staying up late, playing cards & watching movies. Courtney makes everything so much fun & I am so glad she's here and thankful that she's my sister-in-law and also one of my best friends.
Last week we took a fun trip up to Joseph City to our friend's the Mulder's for a fun MODBE party that I did and then she did some AWESOME family pictures for us... She is so great and I am so glad that we were able to spend some time with them. Can't wait to go camping in a few weeks with them. On our trip to Joe City we stopped in Holbrook, Scott's dad served his mission there so we had to get a picture under the city sign!
as we drove through Holbrook we noticed a fun VW BUG custom shop and when I say custom.. WOW they had stretch limo bug ( sydney's prom ride) & some sort of a bug turned camper... really classy! In fact we're thinking of buying a few! The number is in the camper if anyone else is interested...HA



Joe City is a fun little town where everybody knows everybody your cousin is you uncle or mother.. just kidding but we had fun & hope to be invited back so that Drew can catch his CHICK.. ( mulder's have baby chicks & hens running around in their back yard, family pets, Drew was never able to get one)
Driving through Winslow we stopped to get yet another picture





The drive was a little long but a LOT of fun! Brig our little LUDA jammed out while listening to McCall's IPOD. What a little cutie!

Someone had a Birthday Shout Hurray!







Today is Drew's 4th birthday. For weeks he has been telling people"my birtday is on apil fort I'm gunna be 4!" it is quite possibly the CUTEST thing ever. He woke up this morning totally excited to come down stairs. You see, Scott started this tradition on my birthday a few years ago to decorate the whole down stairs with balloons, streamers, wrapping the counter top in birthday paper, making special breakfast.. the works! So now on everyone's birthday we do it and the special birthday gal/boy just can't wait to wake up on their birthday. Drew is a very special boy. Always has been always will be. There are so many great things about him that we all love, so many that only 4 will not do but some of our favorites are....
1. He has the sweetest freckles in the ENTIRE world!
2. Hands down the easiest going, nicest, most loving boy ever.
3. He loves his family all the time and turns the other cheek ALOT. especially when it comes to his sweet older sister, In fact he'll tell her he's sorry when it's not even his fault.
4. If you ask Drew my favorite things about him are that he's nice, sweet and kindful.... it's really his word.

I am so grateful to be his mom. These last 4 years have been 100% fun and in a way am sad that he's 4... that is just because he's growing up, too fast. He told me yesterday that he would be turning 4 and I asked him if he could please not.. not yet, he said, "you know mom this birtday I will be 4 and then next birtday I will be 5 so just be happy that I am 4 now." And that being said I will be happy that he is 4. Everyday he shows me what to be grateful for. His heart is pure and he has a great joy for life & I love that. His love is simple and that puts a smile on this mamma's face. Happy Birthday DREW.. LOVE YOU!
