Getting Ready for Santa...

It's sad when your children grow up...
The things of childhood, like Santa, start to become "un-cool"...
Well I am grateful that one of the boys is still young enough to want to leave cookies out for Santa...
Here's a couple pictures of Trevor preparing for Santa's arrival...
It was so cute...
He even left some treats for the reindeer!














Then he laid out the stockings...









hope everyone had a very merry christmas!

New Year's Resolution

Ok...
So you know how resolustions normally go...
Just as soon as you make one...
You break it!
But we as a family made sort of a resolution that I'm excited about starting...
It's a list...
I love lists!
They keep me organized...
Looking around my office and home...
You will see all sorts of lists...
Grocery, To Do, etc...
But the list that our family is going to start...
Is a fix it and finish list!
We get so busy in our daily life that alot of projects and even just mundane items get put to the side...
But with 4 boys - who are old enough to help out...
We decided that the fix it and finish list would take care of a few things...
One - things would more likely get fixed or finished around here...
Two - the boys would learn how to do some things hands on...
Three - the boys would be more responsible for things...
Four - spending time together (which I think is more important than everything else)!
It's not that we don't spend time together...
But we're always doing sports, scouts or church...
This is together, at home, family time...
And Hopefully...things may get done around the house!
First on the list:
Clean out the loft!
My new philosophy is...
If it hasn't been used in 6 months...
Then we really don't need it!
It'll be an early Spring cleaning...
So I'll let you know how this resolution turns out...
I am Hopeful that it will stick...
Have a very Happy New Year!
I wish nothing but love and happiness for you in 2009!

The Infinite Power of Hope

Today at church we had a talk about Hope...
I didn't realize that Hope was a commandment - did you?
It says in the scriptures that we are supposed to always have Hope.
Faith, Hope and Charity...the greatest of these is Charity...
but without the other two, Charity would not be supported.
These three are like the legs on a three legged stool...
If one leg were missing, we would fall if we sat upon the stool.
By practicing our Faith, we strengthen Hope...
When we have Hope, we are more Charitible...
By giving and doing Charitible things, we show Faith.
There is a great talk that we discussed by Deiter Uchtdorf that discusses this very topic, titled The Infinite Power of Hope
So my challenge this week is to find someone who is in need and help them...
No matter what our position is in this life...
We can offer help to others...
To bolster their Faith...
To give them Hope...
To be more Charitible...

I truly Hope you will have a great day!

Change is hard...

You know...
There's this saying...
"Change is inevitable; it is how we adapt to change that defines us."
Well I'm having a hard time right now dealing with Kurt's new work schedule...
Not having a pity party...
Just not used to it yet...









So here I sit at almost 2am...
Not able to sleep...
Because my husband is at work...
UGH!!!
Grateful for him working, especially in this economy...
I'm praying that I can adapt quickly...
Because lack of sleep is not a good thing!
This mama needs as much sleep as she can get...
In order to keep up with her boys!

I appreciate that I have you my wonderful friends and readers that I can retreat to as a sort of therapy in order to work out what is me...
I guess it comes down to...
I really like spending time with my husband...
He's my favorite person...
And I miss him being the last person I see before I go to sleep...
So...for now...
I'm going to try a warm cup of Stephen's Hot Chocolate...
Yummy!
And see if that will help me relax to go night-night...

ttfn...
sweet dreams!

O Christmas Tree...

Logan went up to dad last night and said
"I'm bored...so I'm going to put up the Christmas Tree!"
I always tell my kids
Only boring people get bored...So make your own excitement
That's what he did
We all had fun too!
Logan is definately my Christmas boy
He was so goofy!
Hanging icicles from his ears
He said he was cold!


















Anyway...
Here are some pictures of the boys
Decorating the big Christmas tree
Today I think we'll be doing the kid tree
That's the one we put all the kid's ornaments on

Been Kinda Out of It Lately!!!

Where has my month gone????
I can't believe that it's 3 days before Thanksgiving!!!!
I have been soooo busy lately...
I haven't had time to slow down to even update my blog!
This last week was super crazy...
I got a new job at church -
I do an activity day with the little girls (ages 10 & 11) every other week!
It's so super fun!
I love that age...
Just old enough to like you...
And not too old to think you're lame!
So last week we did the little scripture tote/purse (I posted a picture of mine a few months back)
I can't do little crafts/projects!
Go big or go home!
But the little girls just loved it...
A bunch of them had them at church on Sunday!
I've been working on class samples to put over at JoAnn's...
Some really cute stuff!
Then today...
I was baking my head off!
Corn bread...
Banana bread...
Brownies...
Oatmeal cookies...
And I'm not done...
There will be close to 30 people here for dinner on Thursday!
OMGosh!
What was I thinking?!?!?!
But I'm so excited...
Not sure if you remember last year...
I was in a super low funk around the holidays not wanting to even decorate for Christmas...
Well I'm glad to say...
No funk this year...
Christmas tree - still in the box - but box is in the livingroom ready to be put up!
Decor boxes have also been pulled from the shelves ready to be brought in the house...
I will post pictures when I have them...
Also, trying to work on new sketch samples...
I need people to email me what they've done with the previous sketch!
I want to show off your work as well!
Anyway...hope everyone has a fabulous Thanksgiving!
Be grateful for the things you have...
Be grateful for the people who love you...
Be grateful for the opportunity to live in this wonderful country...
Be grateful to the Saviour who died so that you might live!
I'm grateful for all of you...my wonderful readers!
Happy Thanksgiving!
God Bless you all!
