I'm Back!

We have been so busy with the holidays, and then the clean up, that I haven't been keeping up our blog, but I'm back. I think that we are finally getting back into our routines. It is crazy to think that Christmas has come and gone, and that we have begun a new year. With a new year, brings a time for goal setting, and unless you put it in writing, there is nothing to hold you to it, so these are my goals for 2009:

1. Be on time to church. This doesn't seem like it should be too hard, but if you know me at all, it is gonna be a challenge, especially with 9:00 church. It will not happen over night, but I have been working hard to get as much as I can get ready the night before.
2. Declutter and organize. This will be an ongoing effort, but I will succeed!
3. Go on a fabulous vacation. (Shasta doesn't count)

This is going to be a good year. I look forward to seeing what it brings!

Here are some random pictures of the kids.

This is our attempt at taking a group picture in their Christmas outfits, but Haylee wasn't willing to do it until we fed her.


Can you tell that she is feeling much better, after she got food?






This is the Mountain House Harley Santa.


Aidan told me that he knew how to read, since he was 4. Haylee loves to sit with him while he is reading, that is of course, when she isn't reading herself.
