Resolutions

Stretching

Push ups

Weight lifting

So this year as always I made some resolutions.

1. Be more prepared for church, school activities, FHE and anything else I can think of I just don't want to be so last second with things.

2. Write in a Gratitude journal everyday.

3. Better FHE's

4. Do more service as a family

5. read my Scriptures everyday and really search them.

6. exercise 3 times a week

So far so good. Of course I can always do better with these things but for sure I have already done better than I was doing last year so I'm glad about that. Xavier has really gotten into the exercising with me and sometimes wants to do it on his own! He usually lasts about 6 r 7 minutes but it just goes to show you what an impact you have on your kids and they will always want to do what you do. So if you do good things and healthy things they will follow you all the way! Scary I know! What are your resolutions? I can always add to my list if you have a good one I could use!

What happened to my Titans???

So if you hadn't noticed my Tennessee Titans football schedule and scores on my side bar well you haven't been looking at my blog well enough! For those of you who don't know or didn't figure it out I am a huge football fan and of course a huge Tennessee Titans fan. Well playoffs started two weeks ago and we lost. We lost to the Ravens. The only team in the entire NFL that I despise. It was a hard loss for me because this was going to be my year! I mean we were undefeated until week 10! So I guess it's time to take down the schedule and hope for a Super Bowl next year! And thanks for not calling to rub it in!!

Happy New Year!

Since having kids I have started having a New Years party at the house. It's a faux new years party that lets us celebrate at 9PM, hence the faux part and then again at midnight. It's great because the kids and the Elders feel like they are celebrating and then they get to bed at a reasonable hour! I love it! This year was fabulous! we had tons of yummy food and played some really fun games! It is always great to be able to ring in the new year with my bestest friends and my babies! Hope you all had a rockin new year too!

A very Merry Christmas

My new toy!

I didn't want to go crazy with the Christmas pictures but the kids are so dang cute and had so much fun I had to post something! We had a fabulous holiday. We had Christmas eve at a friends house and it was so lovely! We had a program that Bella refused to participate in even after weeks of practice! We then went to another friends house for Christmas day dinner and played ping pong and pool and guitar hero. I am not good at any of these things! We had a blast and of course were spoiled rotten! I love the holidays but they came way to fast so I am ready to sit back and breathe a little now that they are over! I hope you all had as good of time as we did! We love you all!

Snow Day

Here we are on the first good snow fall of the year. The kids have never spent much time in the snow so this was their first real experience. Bella was not happy to be bundled up but once outside she had so much fun I could hardly get her back inside!
Grumpy Bella and an excited Xavier ready for the snowy cold.

They soon found out that snow was yummy and that's how they spent the rest of their time in the snow!

Bella ate it right off the cars!

Bella was helping me shovel the snow.

We had tons of fun and are waiting for the next good snowfall!
