Hey, it's okay!

So I am supposed to be doing homework but had to blog a little. I read Savannah's blog and had to add my list of things that are okay... You have to check Savvy's Blog...hers are hilarious...here are some of mine...



Hey it's okay ....


if
..... you want to eat cereal for dinner every night..

.... your two year old takes your phone and tells you he needs to check his email...

.... you tell your kids the tooth fairy is out of work due to the rough economy....

..... you secretly hate the skinny blonde in your workout class...

..... you want to be Judge Judy when you grow up....

..... you stay in your pajamas and watch an all day Law & Order Marathon

.....you look at blogs all afternoon instead of reading Cultural Anthropology...



So everyone add your list of " Hey it's Okay!"

A long awaited update!

So I have to say I'm sorry to all our loyal fans....I keep checking other blogs and I love to see updates, but have been to busy/lazy to do my own. Since I go back to school tomorrow, I decided today was the day.. Here is a little look at what everyone has been up to....

Mallory:
turned 12 in Oct. ,Loves young womens, still obsessed with Twilight, getting sick of school
great babysitter, an example to her family(especially me)


This was Mallory's big Egyptian project, she of course waited until the last minute but did great!

Sydney:

turned 10 in Oct, fun suprise party, loves to go sledding with friends, still obsessed with shopping (especially shoes), great helper to her mom

I tried to take them sledding but I was freezing, they last a lot longer than me!

Halle:

can't wait to be baptized in April, still a great cleaner, Maverik's favorite friend and punching bag, great at games and puzzles,a very tender heart


Halle and cousin Angie at Wyatt's wedding

Maverik-

still as busy as ever, loves Toy Story and nursery, loves to sing,(favorite is So What!) wants to play the girls Nintendo DS all the time, can melt your heart with the cute things he says


I thought he would hate the snow and sledding, but he loved it! I kept asking him if he wanted to get in the car and he would say "1 more time "

James:

joined me in a contest for $10,000 to try and lose weight, Definitely should have won! (but we didn't) looks better than ever (sorry girls he's taken!) ,went to a hotel and a NASCAR race for his birthday,still in school, remodeled the WHOLE main floor, a great dad and husband!













James has lost 40 pounds! He works out 2 times a day! I am so proud of all his hard work!



Me-

straight A's last semester, didn't do near as good as James in our contest,but loved working out with James, been very busy with school, kids and trying to finish the house, had a blast at NASCAR and can't wait for the races this year...(does that make me a redneck?) love staying home with Maverik and love when the girls get home!


I know we look dorky but we were listening to the drivers talk to their pit crew, and it was SO loud.

I haven't posted on many things that happened this year and I hope to do better! This is my version of a Christmas card, so I hope everyone had a great holiday, we miss all our family in AZ and hope to come back someday...atleast I do! We have atleast a foot of snow outside and it seems to keep coming. I am counting down until spring!Love ya all!
