Fun in the snow at Grandma Nina's.

We got to see grandma and grandpa for a few

days over the break. I think this must of been the

first time that the girls saw Icicles. They were so

impressed! Hilarious. Sledding was a blast too thanks to Aunt Amy pushing us off the hill!

This Iguna really made me want another baby!!

I embroidered this for Jamielyn and these pics are

so horrible, but there is a green beanie too! I never knew this would make me want a baby so much. I am going to be more patient in 2009, that is one of my goals! { Impatience is what you feeel when you think the future, in either hours, days, or years will be better than the present}

Dreamboards, Pizza, French Toast, Wii, Poppers....Yay for 2009

A Life Map, Dream board It's as if you're literally creating your life as a work of art." — Lifestyle Makeover expert Cheryl RichardsonMaking a Vision board is like setting goals with pictures. It is very powerful.First tear out images, words or phrases in magazines. Make sure that they speak to you and evoke feelings.Second arrange these on a poster board until it feels right.Then if there is something missing, words or pictures find them on the internet and print them off. Finally paste the images down. You can take a picture of your board and carry it with you or put it on your computer as a screen saver. The more you look at it the faster your goals will be attained. It's magic!Ask yourself who do I need to become in order to fulfill the intentions on my Life Map? If you need some inspiration go to http://www.visionboardsite.com

whatever they wanted to on there. I know

pretty deep!

So I am so excited, I actually wrote down goals this year...thanks to Carla's retreat go to mytimetoblossom.blogspot.com


I have 28 goals written down for the year and four goals for January...

*a goal is something you really want

*It cannot contradict any of your other goals

*family,spiritual, social,financial,physical,mental

*Set a goal for what you want notwhat you leave behind

*write your goal out in complete detail

*Make sure your goal is high enough.

* write them down..or make a dreamboard..

*READ OFTEN!!

Christmas morning

Christmas morning came very early for us!! Lily woke up at like 7:30.Usually I am the first one awake!, not this year!! I really didn't get that many pics, but we had a wonderful day. Some serious playing went on, Some serious napping went on, and We went to See Bedtime stories!! I think that one is a must!! We loved it! The girls were so cute giving hugs for the things they bought eachother! That makes me the happiest. I love my new Bike that Santa brought me, and Mark and the girls gave me awesome Pots and pans, Mine were for sure hideous from when we first got married!....There is alot of exclamation points in this post! I think that's the only way to remember that we had a joyous time! He He....

my family on Christmas Eve!...I really feel bad

but I had to work that day

until 1 and I just wasn't up for some

chaotic traveling and wrapping..You

don't blame me right? So We had some of the family

over for Someburros and Susan's famous bean dip! It was so fun getting us all together! The kids had so much fun and it wasn't even stressful at all! Suprisingly enough...thanks Klaira for helping

me clean the house.
