GIST list

My New Year, I am going to start a GIST list on my blog. Steffany over at Sassy Times does it everyday and I just loving seeing how she enjoys the little things in life. Thank you Sassy Times for a great year of fun reading about the "grace in small things" in your life. You have inspired me to begin my year off with positive things that grace my life everyday that I really don't share like I should. Stay tuned to find out more ....

Merry Christmas

So again here we are another year gone by and it is already Christmas time. I really enjoying this time of year. All the pretty lights, snow and colors of christmas. The one thing I do not enjoy is shopping. I feel I do a pretty good job writing things down durning the year that the family will enjoy but when Christmas eve comes, I feel like I am frogetting something or someone. It is ok, cause I am the only one that feels that way, and after the day it is all but forgotten, until of course the next christmas.
I am wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Most Valuable Rower

Jordan had her "end of the season" crew party last night and coach gave out awards to all the girls.
My girl got "most valuable rower" and "most eager erger" (this is the short name of the rowing machine that Jordan seems to really enjoying doing). I am so proud of Jordan and what she has become. She is a true blessing and wins every award I can give.

Fun Friday

Today is another "Fun Friday", the girls and I are putting on PJ's early, making beds on the floor, and watching Bedtime Stories. There will be pizza, popcorn and lots of fun involved. What is your Fun Friday plans?

Halloween

Last night was Halloween 2009, and I was so excited. I made the girls costumes this year and turned out so darn cute. Carly was a pink crayon and Reese a blue. Every house we went to people loved them, and only one person thought that Reese was a boy (being blue and all). Carly started off geared up but after walking to the first house would not go to the door without me (or Aunt Nikki) and Reese just ran door to door, not really caring if I was there or not. I love seeing the difference that the two of them have so that they grow up with different personalities and we don't have to worry to much of them competing over everything. My brother Andy, his girlfriend Nikki and my handsome nephew Lenon came over to join in on the fun. Baby Lenon was a pirate and even got out a little for some snacks for his mom and dad. John passed out candy but after an hour realized we did not have the normal flow of people. Was it because it was so cold? Because it was on a Saturday? Or are people just not into Halloween anymore. How was everyone else's Halloween? I know we got tons of candy that no one is really going to eat (except Snickers and Reese Peanut Butter Cups) so about Easter time it will be thrown away.

Fun in the sun

Today may have its share of clouds, but I packed up the girls early this afternoon and headed over to my mom's house for a day of fun in the sun. My mom's house if a great place for my kids to play. She has a nice big backyard; a trampoline for the kids to jump on; a powerwheels for the girls to drive; and best of all a nice built in pool. So after lunch, we all got our suits on and out we went. My brother brought his cornhole boards with him so everyone got to play a couple games of cornhole, we swam, drank, talked and just enjoyed each other and the wonderful weather. After a couple hours John came by and joined us. We ended up being there all day, but it was perfect. I love days like today when there is no care in the world and everyone is outside enjoying themselves. I wish everyday could be like this.

O my....

I just realized I have not written about anything much in such a long time, after I swore I was going to try and post everyday. I am not working anymore so what is the deal? Help me! I guess I am in a dry spell and totally need something to write about. My life right now is just pretty simple with nothing major going on. Boring.
