Ok...so the castleton family finally created a blog...I am still not sure if I am doing this right, but hopefully this will keep us connected to a lot more people. I read all my friends blogs all the time and I think that is why I don't have time to create my own one...or perhaps the fact that I have four kids under 4 and a small two bedroom apartment, where our computer is in one of the rooms with our kids...so when they go to bed I can't get on the computer and when they are awake...well just try finding a spare minute to write on this...anyhow... one day I will havae this thing figured out...

Right now, we are in Merced, Ca for the summer for yet another summer of Aarons law clerkship with Callister and Hendricks law firm (where he will be working after school is over next summer). He practices all sorts of law with this firm, but mainly for now is the "summer boy" and gets all the projects no-one else wants! However, it pays the bills and gives him experience...we can't wait until teh bar is passed and he gets a real pay check.

I stay at home with the kids and try to keep them and our summer apartment organized. Life is great. Preston FINALLY has figured out the poop on the potty thing (that is a whole different story, which coves the span of about a year and a half!!! yeah it is a great story). He is 4 and is getting excited to start pre school next year. He love swimming, baseball, basketball and going on dates with either Mom or Dad...he can'tt wait to go see Kung Fu Panda...

Braden is 2 and is starting to make sense whwen he speaks. He is our snuggle bug turned bully and antagonist to older brother Preston. He really is sweet most of the time. He still has fabulous cheeks to munch on and is truly a pleasure to be around.

Addi is 1 and is trying her hardest to walk. She will take about 5-6 steps on her own, but will walk around all day holding onto one finger..needless to say my back is killing me.

We truly have a fabulous family, and I am loving being a mother! It really id the greatest and most challenging blessing I have ever had!

Life is great.
