So BORED! If you don't like whining, then don't read this post.

I am so ready to start school in March. I'm driving myself crazy at home with my two little munchkins. They haven't done anything different, I'm just getting restless, (which is why I end up at my parents pretty much every night)and I am HATING January. I walk through the stores and they already have Valentine's and St Patrick's Day stuff up making me want it to be Spring SOOOOOO bad. I suppose I could just enjoy the months as they come, but really who likes it when it's so cold it's hurts your ears and your skin and then it's just warm enough to tease you into thinking that maybe spring isn't too far away, then it's bitter cold again. I can handle cold, but January cold, is not something I handle gracefully. I guess I can be grateful I haven't been too sick this winter and I haven't had one of those nasty colds. Even though I haven't been sick, my house definitely looks like I've been out of commission for a month, and laundry is quickly piling, but I have no desire to do it. How many times can you do it and NOT go crazy? I guess when I run out of underwear then my protest can be over. I think my main problem is my lack of transportation, cause Tim takes the car to work in the winter months, leaving me at home with the kids and no other adult to talk to(hence the reason I'm always begging people to come over). Naptimes and nighttime just aren't long enough, my kids wouldn't sleep long enough even if they were, and I never have the go gettum to make a decent meal for my poor husband to eat when he gets home. Some days I think I'm ahead of the game and then i turn around and it's all undone. There's always something I could be doing, always something I should be doing, but it's never anything I WANT to be doing. My kids really aren't big enough to be entertained by television and the show Riley does enjoy is really mind numbing, and it doesn't really hold her attention for longer than a few minutes, then it's out with the DVDs again. I guess everyone has good days and bads days I just seem to have all of mine in one month. I'm the only one who can change that, but it would be nice to have something to do, somewhere to be, once in a while. My school will help with that. Hopefully.:)

Double Dream Hands

I think everyone should learn this dance this year. It would make the world a better place.

2010 A Year in Review

As the old year passes and a new year is rung in, it's time to look back at all the fun we've had over the past year and look forward to even more fun in the year to come. As I go through what big things happened to me this last year I invite you to look back at the milestones in your last year and pat yourself on the back for making through another one, because in all reality it's not easy. So let's get going. LAST January...

We started the year out like this:



In February:
We got to see Charles come home from his mission:



We moved into our own apartment for the first time:


As you can see we were excited to be there.

In March and April we didn't really do much, but have a good time, and get bigger:



We found out Riley would be getting a little sister,

Boy was she excited

All I can imagine here is a caption saying "WTF?!?!"

In May Tim and I celebrated being married for two years, not only did we celebrate we were in awe we made it that long.

June wasn't a huge deal, except in was HOT HOT HOT


But it didn't dampen our ability to cheese for pictures.


Well... maybe a little

In July our Roo turned one! and even now she looks so different from July it's hard to believe she was small at one point.



the rest of the summer flew by in a flash with the normal festivities.
Dustin and Mercedes made their family eternal in the Salt Lake Temple in August.


And yes I do have better pictures of them rather than this one, but I'm still working on them, deal with it.
We sent Justin to Washington on his mission:



Summer ended and fall started without telling anyone, Riley didn't seem to mind



We had a blast at Halloween:



and with that, the holiday season got rolling and went off without a hitch. Thanksgiving came and went:



and finally the big day came when we got to meet our new little sweetheart, Bridget



and we still can't get enough of her.

Christmas was lovely, but since I just posted pictures of that like three days ago, I'm not going to post them again.
Yesterday we blessed Bridget in our sacrament meeting and it was very nice to be able to have our families there. And we learned a good lesson


Smile

Smile

And KEEP smiling even though it may not seem possible

Before I get; "Well WE weren't invited." Let me explain.
Mindy was in town for Christmas and to be honest I wasn't too keen on blessing Bridget so soon after she was born in the middle of cold and flu season, but since I don't really have a choice being married to Tim and all, we went ahead with it kind of last minute so it was just our families. As it would have been nice to have our huge extended families all there, I'm afraid our ward wouldn't know what to do when the size of the ward quadrupled for one Sunday. (Srsly, our ward is small enough it might become a branch some day.) It's been a wonderful year and this coming year Tim and I are looking forward to raising our family, going to work and school, that's right we're starting up going to school again, and hopefully getting somewhere with it. JOY! Anyways, That's all for this year! Hope your new year is everything you hope it would be, cause if it's not then you only have yourself to blame for it!:) Happy New Year (3 days late)
