Weekend Fun

So here are my silly kids playing and having a good time. I couldn't help but snap some quick pics of them! I love hearing their little laughs and big ideas! Just warms your heart!

What a fun weekend we had. Friday nigth Aunt J and Uncle A came over for supper and played some Wii after the kids went to bed. The girls played some Candyland with mommy and daddy before Supper. It was a lot of fun.

On Saturday we did some home improvement shopping. I've been wanting to get lights up over the island in the kitchen and a light in the master bedroom because I'm tired of using the closet light as my main light source. So we all trekked to the store and found what I was wanting. B* later that afternoon starting putting up the kitchen lights. He did a great job and I really love them!
The girls and I worked on an art project while daddy worked in the kitchen. And little J had some fun bouncing!

On Sunday B* finished up our home improvement projects by putting up the light in the master! Yeah! It looks great and I couldn't be happier!

Now onto the rest of my home improvement list.....ahhhh I think B has filled his quota for a while. The list will have to wait! :)

All in all we had a great weekend! So much fun!

New Years Resolutions

So I am not generally a person who makes New Years Resolutions, but this year I'm going to give it a whirl. So here are the things that I resolve to do...

#1 Love more - give more of my time and energy to my family.
#2 Learn something new - I'm not sure yet what this will be. I've got a couple of ideas mulling around in my head. We'll see where the year takes me!
#3 Get in shape - this is not a resolution to lose weight (although a few pounds would be nice). It is a resolution to get my heart in shape, my body toned, and my self-confidence back.
#4 Unclutter my life - of material things no longer needed as well as obligations no longer beneficial
#5 Find my joy - work on surrounding myself with those who make me laugh and smile, finding the activities that bring out the best in me, and being thankful every day for the wonderful family God has blessed me with (even on the bad days!)

I think that's probably a pretty full plate! But I think doing these things will help me bring balance to my life in 2009 making me a better Wife, Mother, and friend.

Best Wishes to all in 2009! May it be full of good health, happiness and good fortune!

God Bless!!!!

Mommy Made

So I decided that for Christmas I was going to make TuTu's for the girls. They both are really into dancing and keep begging to go to dance class. So I thought I'd try my hand at making some little skirts for them.

I have to say I was quite impressed with myself. They turned out really great! If anyone wants a tutorial let me know!!!
Happy New Year to You All!
