My Little Dancer

So I finally got Kimmi signed up for dance classes! Yay!!! I tried to do it a few months ago by taking her to Glen's Aunt but the times just didn't work out, because the time I would be picking Kimberly up from dance is the time when my niece that I watch would be getting picked up also. So it would be way to rushed, if not a conflict. :( Bummer! So I tried another dance studio during the morning but they were full. Next I found Eagle's "The Little Gym" and they only had 3 spots left for the Spring Session, so I signed her up right away and got her into a morning class. She is so excited!! It will be nice for her to get out of the house and interact with other kids (outside of the home) I will definately keep everyone updated on our new found little dancer. Next thing to do is get Levi signed up for Soccer. ;)

Free Writting- Why Not!?!?!

So I've been thinking lately about alot of different things. I think that when a new year comes along we get excited about the "NEW" What are we going to change? What will we accomplish? Wanting to become better at ........ whatever? You name it. And of course probably the number one New Years Resolution is wanting to lose weight. Maybe you have a new years resolution to learn something new, travel to a place that you've never gone before, be a better person, be nicer, more generous, live life more fully. I say hell, if you want to do these things then WHY NOT? It is so very easy to get caught up in saying something. "I'm going to do this....... this year. But how many of us actually do them? Hey I know that I'm guilty. You get so excited about something then if it isn't going the way that you want it to go then you get discouraged. You know what I mean. I think that sometimes especially for some women we get caught up in emotions, geesss who can blame us we were born with these crazy hormones. I guess what I am trying to say here is if you have something that you want to do, then DO IT!!! Don't let anything stop you from it!! I'm a wife, mother, student, childcare provider and there are alot of things that I want to do. I think that sometime or even alot of the times we make excuses for ourselves. Like I can't do this because of...... you fill in the blank. But really????? Do we really need to make excuses for ourselves? I say, "I THINK NOT!!" Don't get me wrong there are priorities that you do need to tend to first in life, you can't go crazy and go out and do something just because you want to do it. I mean I guess you could but it probably would not be the best choice. Life needs a balance, and with a balance you can do the things that you would like to. So I say why not go out and accomplish your goals that you have. Live life with JOY, HAPPINESS,. BE POSITIVE and REACH FOR YOUR DREAMS!! Don't judge others...that's for God to do, not you! Live this year as though it is your last. Be smart with the dissions that you make. You are the ONLY person responsible for your actions, no one else is. So don't try to blame things on others. I guess this post is really for me personally and no one else. Don't get me wrong your free to read this. I just needed to get my thoughts out. We all have thoughts moments, right? Here are a few of my goals that I have for this year: * Be the Best wife I can be * Be the Best Mother I can be * Be the Best Student I can be * Give my very Best in my Callings * Train for and run my first Half Marathon * Start writing my first book * Start saving for a Vacation (Hey you've got to start somewhere) * Be more out going (But where do you start and what the heck do you say!!) I swear sometime I don't know what to talk about. haha...does this happen to anybody else? There are so many more things that I want to do in life. Like record my own private album. I don't even know if I'm a good singer or not, but I'll start with singing lessons. I don't know if this one is going to be on the list for this year but it's on "My Bucket List" ;) You know things you want to do before you die. I also want to take dance lessons sometime, I think that would be so much fun!! So my list is small, but it's reasonable. When making your list don't be unrealistic. Keep it to something that you manage and ACCOMPLISH!! You are the only one in charge of your destiny. Reach for the sky... you are the only one in charge of your dreams. Get started make your dreams happen today! Cheers!! Here's to a New Year 2010!!!

Sledding on New Years Eve

So early in the evening on New Years Eve my sister Ann and I decided to take our kids sledding at Friendship Park just a couple of blocks away from my house. It was snowing that night and the kids had a blast going down the hill thats there. We got pretty wet from the snow but we had a great time.

Christmas

We hope that everyone had a Wonderful Christmas! Our Christmas was very nice. We started by having Christmas Eve dinner over at my parents house and had the family there for a Christmas Eve dinner as well as Grandma and Grandpa Lloyd, Aunt Mary, Grandma Maisey and Uncle Wade. After dinner and visting we came home and each of us opened one gift, which was PJ's. I was thinking that the kids would be sound asleep before we got home but nope they were wide awake and ready to open that one gift.They were so excited! Christmas morning we woke and I started a fire in the fire place, baked cinnamon rolls and then the kids woke up and the unwrapping began. Kimmi got dolls from Santa and Levi got a remote control car from Santa. Glen and Levi made Kimberly a bed for her dollies. After we were done opening presents we got ready and then went over to grandma and grandpa's for presents, a delicious brunch with coffee cakes, cinnamon rolls, bacon, meat pie, oranges and hot cocoa. We also got to talk to Stephen for a little bit and we got a suprise phone call from Glen's dad with Adam on the other line. We only got to pretty much say hi, Merry Christmas, we love you and bye, but it was so nice to talk to him as well. After visiting at my parents for a little while we came home. Glen went to go feed the horses, Kimmi and Levi played with their new toys and started to fix Christmas dinner while listening to the families new Christmas CD. We had Mom, Dad, Ann and Alex over for dinner and ate by a soft candle light. All I can say is that it felt like Christmas, I love that feeling! After dinner we all relaxed and watched a few movies. That is our christmas there are a LOT of Pictures so enjoy! Everyone in there new PJ's This is the bed the Glen and Levi madee for Kimberly. After they brought it Kimmi gave Levi a huge hug. My parents for all of the guys had them close their eyes while my mom brought out Boise State Hats for each one of them. The funny thing about these hats was that Boise State Logo lights up. So after the guys got their hats they all turn on the lights and pout them on. When you looked around the room you would see all of the guys with the Boise State logo flashing. It was hilarious, so Awesome! The salad bowls that we got for Donny and Ashley.

Holiday Activities

Kimmi and Levi visiting with Santa at our church's Ward Christmas party. This year we went with our friends Kara and Jason their kids, some of their friends and both of Kara and Jason's families came along as well, to the navitiy that the Eagle Idaho Stake puts on. The night that we went it was cold and foggy, but the fog gave it a special feel that night as we stopped to listen to the angles sing, and then walked to see Baby Jesus laying in a manger. After seeing the baby Jesus we had hot cocoa and then took a tractor pulled hay ride back up to the parking area. The next night I went again with my Mom , Ann, Abby, Alex and my kids. The kids loved it and keep asking me if we can go back and do it again and again. Kimi and I on a tractor pulled hay wagon ride . Glen and Levi Walking thru the city on Bethlehem to see baby Jesus. It was neat to go with our friends and family this year to the nativity.

4 Generation Photo's

While we were over at my Grandma's house,we took some four generation photo's with my Grandma Maisey, My Mom, My Self, and My Kids. It's funny because on the way driving over I thought that we should take a 4 generation photo and then my Uncle Wade mentioned, "Hey, why don't you guys sit close together and get a 4 generation photo." Two great minds think alike! Thanks Wade for taking our photo! I absolutely LOVE these Ladies, my Little Lady and my Buck!!! They are all very special to me.
