Our drawing game

Camden and I play a little drawing game-he loves it. We take turns making drawings of anything and then the other person draws something-we like to make jokes about each other. Like, I drew a picture of him watching Hannah Montana and he drew this picture. It made me laugh so incredibly hard I just about peed my pants. He said I was the little fly and that is his foot getting ready to stomp on me. He wrote,"Help me, I'm going to get squished" Man, I thought this was hilarious.The kid cracks me up. Who writes his material?

Blessed

I have been reading Ali Edwards blog for a while now and every year she chooses one word that is her "Word Of The Year". This year I decided to choose a word of the year also. My word is "Blessed". I just want to be reminded daily that I am truly blessed in all areas of my life. I have an awesome,hard-working man who loves his family. I have 2 energetic, full of life boys that are smart and funny and loving. I have a home to protect me from the elements. I have food to nourish my body. I have clothing to cover me. I have a Father in heaven who loves me know matter what I do or have done. I have the awesomest parents in the world and I thank God daily for the close relationship we have. I have 2 sweet sisters that would do anything for me. I have the cutest niece in the world. Just so many blessings. I need to just remember these when I am feeling blue or green with envy. So, this year I am Blessed.

Soccer in the cold

We had a relaxing day today. After church, we had a late lunch and then chilled. We watched Night at the Museum and Shrek the Third and just had a relaxing evening. It was nice considering it will be back to our normal schedule starting tuesday-when school starts back up again. I am looking forward to having a small break with the kids being in school but it was a nice break. Kids are very entertaining.

Box Boy

Ok, this happened the other night. Camden decided to sleep inside the box and sleep he did. He actually slept till around 3 am inside the box and then he wiggled out of it. I could not believe he slept so long inside it. What a weirdo. He did sleep like this for 3 nights in a row. I guess it would keep you warmer-good insulation.

You Know Your A Scrapbooker When...

I read this in one of my scrapbooking magazines and had to post the article.....

You Know Your A Scrapbooker When...
*You usually have a camera with you
*You wonder if you will ever get caught up
*You have tools your husband does not know how to use
*You pull buttons off old, used or outgrown clothes to use on a layout
*You know who Becky, Lisa, Ali, Jennifer, and Tim are
*The clerks in your local scrapbook store know you by name
*Your house is a mess because you have been scrapping all day
*You know what CK, CKU, CKC, HOF, SOY, KISS, and KOTM stand for
*You can spot an Elsie sticker faster than you can say, Louis Vuitton
*You check online galleries and blogs more often than you check the news
*You save the ribbon off Godiva chocolate boxes to use on your pages and cards
*You change your childs outfit to match the paper you just bought...so you'll have the perfect photo to go with the paper


I have to say that 99% of those are true. I am defintely a scrapbooker and love it.

Family Game Night

So again, more computer problems so I am posting stuff from yesterday. It was family game night tonight. The boys got Pictureka from Santa and we opened it tonight. We had so much fun. They loved it and did not want to quit playing. It is actually a very fun game to play-and challenging. I think I got last place. The boys are excellent players at this game. It was cute they were actually cheering each other on. Camden loves game night and reminds us several days before that game night is almost here. I was hoping to take a few pics but my camera batteries were beyond dead. So, next week. I did get some scrappin time in and was able to finish up a two page layout and start another one. I love capturing life on pages to help us remember our past. What a legacy to leave behind.

Goals not Resolution

We have been having major computer and internet access problems so I am just now able to get online. So we are pretending the day is Thursday, January 1st, 2009.Happy New Years Day!!! Dave and I and the kids did absolutely nothing to ring in the new year. I ended up falling asleep by 9:30 (Dave was snoring all night the night before and I was dragging all day).Dave made it to midnight-playing XBox 360. Bay and I were woken up at midnight by people setting off firecrackers to ring in the new year. So technically, I was up at midnight.

I have already said I am not making any resolutions this year-instead I am making a few goals that I believe I can reach....

1)Be happy with who I am-I suck at that so that is one that might take a long time to reach but I am willing to try.
2)Keep up with exercising-I have been exercising 4-5times a week for the past 6 weeks. Only have lost about 5 pounds but its been the holidays and I will not diet on or around holidays. That is just mean.
3)A better willpower-I love m&m's and cookies.Its my downfall.
4)Be in the moment-live in the now-Enough said
5) Most important:Be a good example for my kids in all areas. Be the mom they deserve. There was a reason these two are mine and I want to make them proud to call me their mom.

So those are my attainable goals for 2009. I am making scrapbooking goals also but am not finished thinking them thru yet. So here is to a brand new year.
