the holidays

The holidays in 2014 were a slight blur. Everything was great and festive and fun. I felt the Christmas spirit and enjoyed time w my family. But it was so busy! Any and all routines were thrown out the window and we are still paying for that, in February! This year, I've made a goal to edit a little more and make more of a priority to keep even just a little normalcy for my kids' sake, and my sanity too. It's hard when you love to party and you don't want to say no to anything. But the kids will also be another year older, so it might be a little easier.

Here are some of my favorite pictures of Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years 2014...

2012 resolutions

New Years Eve was so excellent; I almost forgot I am 27 and a mother...until the next day when I was so tired after staying out LATE and then being up feeding a child a few times and felt like I was hungover...oh well.  It was worth it! And I got TWO good smooches (Freddie's was a bit juicer than Collin's. woooo)

now for....

MY RESOLUTIONS:

• harness train Dot
• family walks once a week
• read the Book of Mormon with Collin and Freddie
• read with Freddie everyday
• go camping at least twice

• go to the temple at least once a month
• be more supportive of my husband
• read my church lessons weekly
• have faith and COURAGE!
• start writing everyday again
