New Years Goal

So there is always the typical goals...lose weight, be a better housekeeper, keep up on money management..things like that. But this year I am adding two goals that I really really hope to accomplish.

The first is to read the Book of Mormon with my hubby all the way through. I'm ashamed to say I've never read it all the way through and I think it be about time I do so! So why not do it with my best friend. :)

The second is to write in journals...yes you read that right journals. Not only mine but I'm going to start a new project. I will have a journal for each of my four children and write down things they accomplished, funny things they said or thoughts I had about them that day or week. I know it won't be a daily thing but I hope to write in each of them at least every two or three days or when the thoughts arise. :) I thought this would be a fun way for me to remember things and them to read later in life. I'm actually really excited about it!

what are some of the goals you have for this upcoming year?

My boys

I just have to share this. I absolutely love love love my boys! I love how much they love each other.

Seriously Brian adores his son and Dean feels the same way about his daddy. Dean can be all wiggly and uncomfortable with me and calm right down and be at peace the minute he hits daddy's lap. Even when I'm nursing him and Brian is sitting next to me he would rather watch daddy then bond with me. haha.

Here is a picture to show just how much they love and adore each other.

don't you absolutely just love this picture? I do. I love my boys.

1900's

On Friday I picked up the girls, then we drove to Dean's daycare and picked him up. As we were driving to meet some of my family at McDonalds the girls sang Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer to me. They were forgetting some of the special inserts like "like a light bulb and HoHoHoHo" so I helped them out when they got stuck. After the song, here is the conversation that we had...

Bethanie: Mom how did you know all those words to the song?
Me: That song has been around for a very long time
Juliet: Ya from like the 1980's
Silence
Me wallowing in the self pity of knowing my kids officially consider me old!

It was pretty funny actually. :)

Should have

so for weeks Brian and the little nagging voice in my head kept telling me to get all the pics off my phone. Tomorrow I kept telling it, when I have time.
Again - get the pictures
Tomorrow I kept telling it, when I do my blog
Get the pictures.
I will right after I take this last video of my darling baby boy.

Too late.

That's right....my SD card corrupted and all my pictures and videos from the last year and a half are gone....Gone. Brian looked and looked and he couldn't bring them back. I am going to try to take it to the Sprint store to see if they can recover them, but I have a feeling its hopeless.

I'm devastated. Thankfully I did send various family and friends some of the cutest pictures or uploaded them to FB...so not all is lost...just most. Like Bethanie's spelling Bee and the girls's kindergarten graduation. Halloween and birthdays....all of it.

so moral of this tale. Always back up your pictures and never ignore the voice in your head!

Delay

I know I said I wou;d post about the added drama of Dean's birth.....but he has been verry needy lately and i'm plain tired. so it will come. but it will be delayed. :)
