Christmas Update

Happy Christmas Everyone! I sincerely hope you all had a blessed and joyous holiday!

Our Christmas was fantastic! It started with Christmas Eve, where the kids get to open one present of their choosing…

Then Christmas morning,where we were up before the sun with 4 very excited kids…

Then there’s the aftermath of non-stop partying with our presents….

It really has been a wonderful Holiday Season…I’m so grateful for my family and friends, for the food and the presents and the time spent with those I love. Happy Holidays!

Worry worry worry…

We are thinking of moving. We seem to have outgrown our tiny 3 bedroom house, and have started looking for a 4 bedroom.I can’t turn my brain off and stop worrying about of we’re making the right decision or not. We have 2 applications out on 2 different houses, so now we are just playing the waiting game. I have no patience, so the wait is killing me. And is it even the right choice? Will we be happier and have more room to grow in a bigger place? I love our neighborhood, the ward, my kids are happy and healthy and have friends and are comfortable at their schools. But another bedroom…and maybe another baby(!?) sounds really appealing. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers that the right house will come along…worry worry worry….

Almost Time…

Yes, I paid the big bucks to my 9 year old to cut his hair. I know, I know, I’m the Mom, I should just lay down the law, but there have been so many fights, and so many tears over Jaren’s hair, that I was willing to PAY him to get it cut. So yesterday we went and got it cut-a real boy haircut! And Jaren looks so handsome! You can see his cute face again! Jaren doesn’t like it-but I think it’s growing on him. Have some pictures!

Who are you,and what do you want?

Any reason why I had almost 1000 people visit my blog the other day? Who are you, and where do you come from? Just curious.

Happiness Is….
