Word of 2011!

For those of you who do not know, My second mommy has started a tradition that I have yet to partake in. Every year she picks a "word of the year". A word that she wants to center her year around to help her self become more whole (at least that is how I have come to understand it :))

While I did not pick a word at the start of 2010, If I had to sum it up to a single word now that it has come to an end, I would have to chose the word "conquer" I think that both I and my little family have reached a point where we can say that we have finally conquered many of our demons and we stand strong hand in hand ready to face the new challenges that lie ahead of us.
So to start out this beautiful new year I am going to choose the word:
*Indulge*
Meaning to give free reign to.
I want to indulge in LIFE. I have spent a few years now feeling like I was preparing to live but not actually living. For the last several months since I have been staying home it has become increasingly clear to me that I set FAR more goals than I come even close to attaining. I don't want to do that this year. I want to explore and play and try new things. I want to give back to others and and learn to appreciate all the small things that I have missed out on while I was to busy making plans.
I want to watch the shine in my daughters eye as she figures out new things. I want to play blocks with my son for hours on end until it feels as gratifying and adventurous to me as it does to him. I want to look my husband in the eye on our hardest days and make sure he knows how much I love him and how happy he makes me.
So while I am dying to make some goals like:
*Exercise 3x a week
*Try 50 new recipes
and
*Teach Tukker to read
I am going to pass. I am going to sign off of this blog and go indulge in this day!
Here is to a satisfying year past and a a damn good year ahead!

New Years Eve!

It is New Years Eve! I can't wait till tomorrow! January 1st is my number one favorite day of the year :) I just love the feeling of a new adventure. See you all tomorrow when I type up the post that I already wrote two weeks ago :) he he. 40 minutes to go happy new years!

Blogging again!

I am determined to blog more frequently again. I have really slacked off but I loved when I stayed up to date on it because it is one of the only ways I document my life! So I already have a post written out for New years but I can't very well post it on christmas so in a couple days I will get it uo then I will be on track to keep it updated for 2011! Love you all hope you all had a wonderfull christmas like I did! Continue to surround yourself in loved ones for the rest of the year and always!

A clean house...A good day.

I haven't written in forever. When I go for weeks without writing then I struggle to find the right time to jump back in there. Well I decided to write today even if I don't have anything interesting to say :) For the first time since we moved in my house is finally to a level of cleanliness that I am happy with. There are sill a few unfinished projects I need to do before I would consider it totally clean but for now it is clean and I am happy :) I am baby hungry and trying to talk myself out of being so. David is good in his new job and trying to get back to training regularly. Maveryk is ready to start potty training I just need to find the right approach. Tukker is Tukker...cute, sassy, fun and a handfull. Life is good :)

Moving and moving.......and moving.

I spent this whole week moving stuff very slowly to the new apartment in Sandy. All I have to move with is my little four door sedan so even when I pack it full it still isn't a very big load. But now finally the week is coming to an end and tomorrow I will have a truck and a hubby to help me get as much of it moved as possible and we should be living there tomorrow too! So that makes tonight the last night at Grandmas house. It has been a very quick 6 month stay here and was nice to get to visit with her lots. She has been incredibly helpful to us and hopefully we have returned the favor with a lot of the projects that David has done around here. I am excited to get settled in to the new place. It is a little more spacious and ITS NEW :) As much as I hate packing up and moving again every time we get settled I also really enjoy finding a new home for everything and making it look and feel like ours. So over all I am happy and very excited about our new adventure!

Random thoughts at night

Two thirty in the morning
Cant seem to sleep
My baby boy is sick
And its beginning to worry me
I gave him extra kisses today
To make sure he knows I'm here
I can't picture life without his smile
I'm sure he is fine but i still get scared.
I am so lucky lately
Things are beginning to go our way
My loving husband off at work
While I care for my sweet babies all day.
For the first time in a while
I am enjoying each moment passing
Im not so worried about the long run
Im just happy to be.
Moving to a new home
Taking the next adventure
Nothing feels like a big deal
Its all just ethereal being together.
I can't believe how time slips away
I remember so clearly being a teenager
I want to hang on to these moments
Keep my precious memories from danger.
Now I will go to bed
Have dreams of things to come
But none will compare to the day I will have
When I wake up tomorrow to my daughter and son.
Goodnight my fellow bloggers
go kiss your families again
Be appreciative of your blessings
Love you all. The End.

Great weekend!

We had a really great weekend as a family! On Saturday we went to Lagoon just David and I (Thanks for watching the kids mom :)) and we met up with Dad and Christy and the girls. We had a blast and a I only got a tiny bit sun burned. Then Sunday we went out boating with dad and family and had a delicious BBQ after words! Super fun. Now off to a great productive week!
