Well- The blog from March did not even get posted until September 1st! Really?! As you can probably guess- I am NEW to this thing people call 'blogging'.......
I was inspired today by a friend who 're-started' their blog recently! I need to do this- what a great way to let others who care about us, and some that probably don't, know what is going on in out lives. So here I go again......
The kids are now in 5th, 3rd and 2nd grades! How in the world does that happen in just ONE blog session! LOL
So the boys had their FIRST football practice with full pads on today......I had tears in my eyes as they pulled away. Gone are the days of the 'little' boys putting on Uncle Mike's helmets in the living room and just playing in them. They have grown into their own helmets and will be on the field before I know it. Matt is one proud dad and just as excited as the boys to get the games started.
While the boys were off at practice, Rhyan and I ran a few errands including a trip to Barnes and Noble for her to choose a new chapter book. The girl is a reading machine and her new adventure is Ramona and Beezus - should be a good one! She is loving gymnastics and looking forward to starting her very first season of volleyball! Oh yea.....trying out her mom's sport!
Well......that's it for now. I promise to have pictures up in my next blog, unless I can figure it out QUICKLY when publishing this one! :O)

Tuesday, March 2, 2010
If you're gonna start sometime, why not now?
Where to begin? I would love to know exactly what you want to hear......but that would mean that I am a 'mind reader' and my family can tell you that is far from the truth! So - why not begin with January, 2010?!?!
After a horrific auto accident on December 22, 2009 - The Furrey Family is giving God ALL the Glory for His protection on our lives that day and EVERY day. Matt said it best in a prayer the day after the accident by saying " Obviously God isn't finished with us yet." We, as a family, will strive to give Him the glory in all we do.......
I guess I didn't really start with 2010 huh? Those of you who know me well know that my mind goes in a million different directions at once so deal with it! :O) One of my best friends calls it 'popcorn talk' while another one tells me that I remind her of her grandma who never really knows what she is talking about. I am not so sure either one of those comments is a compliment.
Anyway- It is hard to believe that Matt and I have been married for over 12 years! I can honestly say that we have never been better in our relationship with one another.....I am more in love with him today than the day I married him. Honestly- he is an incredible Godly man who loves me and the kids with his whole heart! I look forward to an exciting future together!
Our children are growing up so fast......where does the time go?
Trey Matthew is 10, Grant Edward is 8 and Rhyan Victoria is 7. It seems like not long ago I was sitting on the kitchen floor (with 3 kids, 3 yr, 18 month, & 6 weeks)all screaming around me telling Matt that I 'just couldn't do it anymore'. Obvioulsy the days were physically exhausting then, but wow - what a blessing they were. It seems to me that people were always telling me to cherish those moments when all I wanted to do was get through them. As the kids are getting older I totally understand how quickly time is passing......
Trey is in 4th grade and loves school. He gets great grades, love sports, and seems to be a 'friend to all'. Did I mention that Trey loves sports?!?! He really does live, eat and breathe baseball and football. Football is his favorite and he would play ALL the time if he could. You can almost always find him carrying a football in his arms most places that he goes. He is already planning his college career!
Grant is in 2nd grade and likes school for 'social' reasons! :O) He is doing really well but I would not say that it is his favorite place to be. Grant is also very involved in sports (baseball and football) and seems to have a love for WWE too! He is really looking forward to going with his dad, brother, and grandpa to see WWE in action later this month. Oh my - I am sure it will be a treat!
Rhyan, oh Rhyan! She is one of a kind - 'the girl I had to have' Matt always tells me. She is a cross between a tom boy and a princess which makes life in our house very interesting. She is very involved in gymnastics and is getting ready to start her 2nd round of softball, which she was pretty good at! She certainly keeps us on our toes and is only quiet when she is sleeping. :O)
Matt is enjoying his job with Miller and Associates more than ever! He sells heavy duty automotive equiptment and is in charge of Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming and Colorado. His job does allow him to travel a bit which makes our 'home schedule' even crazier. Living in AZ has allowed him to golf more, which he loves. Softball is still a part of his life as well sometimes more than his schedule can handle.
I am loving the flexiblilty of my Pampered Chef business now more than ever! It is so wonderful to be able to work around the kids' crazy school and sports schedules while still helping out with the finances. As if paying me is not enough - my company also sends me on amazing vacations, just for doing my job! I soooo love what I do.
Well- that is a quick glimpse of 'The Furrey Family' for now. I hope continue this blog and update often so that I can keep in better touch with family and friends. I am 'addicted' to picture taking so I also think that this will be a great way to capture some of our favorite moments and actually SHARE them with others. Right now I have THOUSANDS of pictures just sitting on my computer waiting to be shared.
Hmmmmmm......not sure how well that went?!?!? My first blog entry.... It can only get better, right?!?!??
