updating late. (Holidays and such in a nut shell)

Here are a few pic's to enjoy from our Holiday festivities.



We had a great Christmas with all our kids at home Christmas Eve spent up in Logan Thanks Unc' Marv and Aunt Shelly for hosting the annual party nativity play and pinata.



and as you can see the gifting was larger than they are and some were not.







Also in the past month Was Eric's Birthday party. At Fat cats we had friends and family pizza, bowling gaming and watching the super fun ifly. (Which we can't wait to go back and do)


So sorry we time warped back into 2008 but I finally got around to pulling the pics. Also additional pic's of Halli's blessing day!


Thank you again to friends and family that attended the event so much had gone on its nice to be in a New Year.

Oh my back into life

ok ok I will finally admit that my stubborn head and walk away attitude have finally caught up pace and kicked me in the backside.

Where have I been? I have spent so long running from everything in my past and confining myself to my little bubble of industry, work and independence that I did not only forget to stop and smell the roses I have completely missed the fields of tulips that grew as well. What I mean by that????? Well lets just say I finally started blogging before Halli was born and I stink at it. I don't keep things updated, I complain about not enough hours in my day to do it, then wham-o- I jump onto face book. Ok ok it seems odd that I used to work in the computer industry and find myself completely out of touch with it now in just a couple years. I'm so lost. Anyhow I linked up to some old time friends and checked blogs and facebook stuff and I am so behind the times. I think my attempts at blogging and facebook are LAME!!!!!

So I need a remedy.... Auntie Char I need a day of blogging and facebooking, to go with our lunch and shopping spree's. I need your expertise Auntie Char and of course Monica!!!! I seriously want to be better at these things. And believe me I am not going to complain about my poor empty house walls this year. I want to start the making a home process now.... I didn't ever decorate before because I kept telling myself less is cleaner but the truth is since Christmas decor is down, my home is a house its empty and I want to make it cozy. (Of course I still want it to be done in a fashion that will eventually "move" into our new one and fit just right too) hmmm I never set resolutions but I am now!!! Look out paint world, I'm coming to customize my home or find one that is custom to what I want. ha ha. I guess I just need a change and of course you've all heard me say before I need to remodel the home to what I want!!! I'll by busy this year but its progress this time around.

Its the New year and I still cant post ontime

Oh well, It's not anything I'm stressing over or worried about. Blogging will be here when I get around to it. Kinda like my laundry. I am adjusting to being a stay at home mom!!! Its great, I love every minute Halli and I have together. But my dear husband has informed me that being a stay at home mom also means cleaning the house and cooking and running errands. Wait wait I have to work still? I thought it was all about taking naps and playing with baby!!!! Then again I can't say I don't agree with him... The house could use more than a once over.

We welcome Nate and the kids who are staying with us for a spell!!! House guests also need to be entertained. So I'll get around to completing the cleaning I started last week another day!!!

I have to note for the new year (Auntie Char this is for you mostly) My fav' absolute fav' boutique has opened a new location!!!! IN LAYTON! Its by Big Lots North by Layton Hills mall. Called Whimsy!!!! I'm in love with shopping again!!! So do I hear a shopping date being arranged with lunch specials too? (Hmmm Auntie Char email me to schedule a D/T)

Oh my poor husband just laughed when I saw it and had to call him to inform him he'll be working more to support my poor habit. Good thing he found humor in it cause I wasn't kidding. I thought as long as he can laugh the bill off its good! Only kidding of course. I wish I could shop till I drop but I'll keep my limits within a good range.

Happy New year to everyone, Much love from us all
