Ok...so it has taken me long enough...but, we finally have a family blog. The main purpose of this blog is to keep all of our friends and family updated on what is happening inside the Mullins' household. At the moment, things are seemingly perfect(don't want to jinx it)!! We are part of an amazing church family(Cross Timbers Community Church). It is so awesome to be part of a church that is all about being REAL and encourages dealing with our issues and being part of authentic community. As Blake and I have dealt with some of our issues, we for the first time in our marriage have agreed to and are living on a budget. I can not explain the freedom we have found in that. We are using Dave Ramsey's Cash Envelope system to keep us on track, and I love it. Our kids are beautiful and healthy, and we finally feel settled in our HOME. For those of you who don't know, Blake and I have lived in 5 houses in our 6 years of marriage. We plan to say in this house for the long haul while we raise our children.
Blake has a great new job with Marinas International that he loves. He is the Manager of Silver Lake Marina on Lake Grapevine so he gets to be around people and boats all the time...could there be a more perfect job for him?!?! He loves working on his endless supply of projects in his shop. Right now, he is working on restoring his very first boat.
I am settling in to being a mom of 2 and have to say that it was pretty challenging at first, but I LOVE IT!! Tyler and Katy are so similar in a lot of ways, but also so VERY different. It has been so much fun getting to know little Katy and falling head over heels with her, and also watching my little boy grow up and become an AWESOME big brother. I am also getting back into my running routine and I am setting some pretty big goals for myself for this year. I plan to do a lot of road races this year and run 2 half marathons by next March. I'll keep you updated on the races I am running and if I am keeping up.
Tyler just turned 3 and is enjoying preschool at our church. His teachers tell me that the child has got some moves. They go to chapel once a week and he is always up at the very front singing and dancing his heart out!! At home, he is obsessed with cars, monster trucks, trains and basically anything else that moves!! He's also a lot like daddy in that he is very meticulous about the way he does things. Can you say borderline OCD?? At the moment, the child is convinced that he is Mr. Incredible and that I am Mommy Incredible(don't mind that title at all). And he plays outside every chance he can get.
Katy is pretty much just eating, sleeping and now smiling(so cute). I tell you, the life of a baby is pretty sweet. She is such a good baby, and is actually letting me get some pretty good rest at night. She is growing like a champ...you should see the little rolls on this child's legs. No mistaking that Katy is a healthy little girl.
So, that's a little about our family at the present moment. But with two little ones, things are constantly changing. We'll keep you up to date on the latest and greatest!!
