This is the post promised on goals and now is the time it goes live. 1-31-12This was actually written a while ago, toward the beginning of the month.

The other day at Workout class (that consists of 2 adult girls, the instructor, 2 little girls and a baby) our instructor said she just started a blog and it took her 2 hours to write a post, oh my, that is normal for me.

I would like to start with a recap of 2011, but it is somewhat of a blur, but still beware it is kind of a long pos. .

2011-11-15T09:56:00.003-05:00

This month is the one where we are focused on gratitude. Like everyone I have many things that I am grateful for in my life. BUT Today:Today I am grateful that I was able to run/walk 1.5 miles.

I love that my body will let me do this without

In first grade when they were taking our class picture I turned around to look behind me to make sure my teacher was smiling.

Change is Good?

2011-06-07T12:17:00.005-04:00

Our Bishopric was changed this past Sunday. John was put in as 2nd Counselor. I like the new guy that was made our Bishop, Tony Padilla, but I am going to miss Bishop Doug Goodfellow too. He served for 6+ years so it was time for the change, but he was our Bishop and Friend. Tony or aka Bishop Padilla is our friend too but he was not our Bishop first so we will learn to love him as our

Happy Anniversary to me and My sexy husband, it has been a great 26 years. It feels like it has been forever sometimes but mostly it seems like it was just yesterday I choose to "Fall in Love" with this wonderful man of mine.

I have a confession.I love Donny and Marie! I know, weird. I don't neccessary like Donny or Marie by themselves but I like the complete package. This love started for me when they started their talk show in 1997-98. At first I was like "oh brother, really, why are they surfacing again." I started watching and I got hooked, I planned my day around the show. Everything I know I learned on "

My sister Deanna was so kind to drive across the country with Heidi and then she stayed with us for a few days. I took her in to DC to see the sites and have some good sister time. Your birth order is never forgotten when you are with siblings. I will always be the baby sister. :)My sister in law Christine(and her husband Brett) came to spend Easter with us. We had a great time decorating

Playing on the tramp in the rain on a lazy Sunday afternoon. One warm Sunday afternoon in March we thought we would warm up our cold blood, you know we are part reptile. Sunday is the only somewhat day of rest at our house.The game of wash, dry, fold and repeat is only half over and there it sat for days, well only for a couple extra days. We had to clear off the couch so we could watch Idol.

Is Piano Lessons worth the fight?

2011-02-17T08:33:00.009-05:00

All my kiddos have taken piano lessons at one time or another and from varied skilled teachers. Austin started taking lessons last fall becuase he had been begging to take for over a year. Austin is just learning sharps and flates, it is a bit of a challenge. "I want to quit" "I hate piano!". Practice time has been pounding on the piano and sulking under the couch cushion. Last

Farewell LG I loved you so and how did I show you? I didn't replace you 2 years ago when I had the chance. In the last four years we have shared many, many things together. I covered you in leather so I could treat you badly and you would not feel a thing. I have laughed my head off, cried my eyes, been mad as a hornet and happy as a clam all the while you being cradled in my hand. Oh the
