2011

I can't believe this  year has come and it seems like it is going.  I love running through my blog and seeing the pictures of my kids and remembering the moments that happened that day.  My Sandy turned the big 10 this year.  I remember when she got baptized heck I remember when she was born.  She is such an amazingly talented girl.  I think she had a good birthday party.  We went to Red Robin for dinner, swimming with her friends and spent the morning with her Grandparents while I got my hair done.  She got a Razor Scooter, Cell Phone, clothes, church dress with boots for birthday.  I really love their birthdays.  I don't really enjoy Christmas but I really love buying for their birthdays. 

As the days have past my husband Kyle has gone back to school.  In fact, it thwarts my day on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  I got pretty spoiled with him taking the kids to school.  You see my babies, the younger two, sleep until 9 or so which means I get a lot of alone time in the morning. But now on T and R I have to wake their sweet little bodies up and carry them to the car in blankets because it's so damn cold and drive them all to school.  But it is all good.  Kyle has been taking classes off and on with me for the last 13 years and this semester he woke up and decided he was going to finish by the time he was 40.  He has more time then me since he is younger-which has always bothered my self-esteem-so that inspired me to get on the band wagon and take a class or two.  Well I can't believe they had one spot left for this Psychology class I need and so I am taking my one Measly class.  But at least I am doing something to better myself.  Kyle is taking 4 classes and he is going into construction Management. And I am going into something I need the most Psychology.  I love learning about people and listening to all the drama.  Maybe because I feel like at times I am DRAMA.  So it will be a long T and R for me at home but we are commanded to better ourselves-I think!!

The reason I haven't posted my New Year's resolutions is because I found this really cool website called Blurb.com  My sister-n-law Vanessa introduced it to me when she said my brother uploaded her blogs to this book.  Kyle's cousin has always said I should write a book. This website downloads to your hard drive and so sense I have always been a journal keeper this has really inspired me to journal.  I even inspired my 12 year old to keep her journal in it.  Yes, I read it sometimes-you have to make sure they are okay.  Believe me someone should have read mine!!!!  But I told Kylee at the end of the year we would have them sent to the printer and then she will have her journal.  You can also add photos and it is just the coolest thing ever. 

As for my news year's resolutions.  I created some that began with BE! BE NICE, BE ME, BE SMART, BE FRIENDLY,--I created about 20 of these and I need to go back and read them but this year is going to bring much life to our family.

Kyle has some big financial goals-he always does--I have some big personal goals--And I hope that between the two of us we can help others in need.

Well back in December I got called to the Primary Presidency.  I have never been anything more than a pianist or organist.  People don't need my mouthy self in their presidency's.  But I decided and prayed about it that I would slow to speak and quick to do.  So I love that another girl is quick to speak-she volunteers for everything so I am off the hook for the sharing time until the end of February-all because I was slow to speak.  This might work out for me.  I am only the second counselor and so scouts will be interesting for me.  I haven't wrapped my arms around it yet. But I am feeling the drive to start digging in.  Wish me luck!!

Well happy New Year to ya all and pictures will be up shortly.
