Moment of truth...

  • if you saw your problems in a pile with everyone elses you would probably grab yours back.
  • all that really matters is that you loved
  • growing old beats the alternative--dying young
  • your kids get only one childhood.
  • forgive
  • frame every so called disaster with these words "in 5 years will this matter?"
  • no one is in charge of your happiness except you.
  • get rid of anything that isnt beautiful, useful or brings you joy.
  • Dont compare your life to others, you have no idea what their journey is all about.
  • its ok to let your kids see you cry.
  • Make peace with your past so it doesn't screw up the present.
  • Your job won't take care of you when you are sick; but your family will, keep in touch!
  • Just keep taking that next small step.
  • Life isn't fair, but it's still good!

a few days late...but heres Christmas!
















so I am totally behind. SORRY! I stilll havent' put up Winter Festival pictures(equivelant to Christmas program, but apparently the name isn't allowed in public schools anymore...gag) They will be up soon.
Anyhow the pictures are of Christmas, The kids got a lot of neat things. Jaysen got a few board games and video games, a drawing book and some dumb Bakugan toys. Brock got a scope for his .22, some posters, a laser chasing car that goes up walls and on the ceiling. Carter got a Diago Back pack that he LOVES, some Bogs mud boots that haven't come off his feet in days other than to sleep and bathe! Kennedi got lots of baby doll stuff, a pretty dress and a balarena outfit, some hair stuff, and cute slippers.

It was good to spend the day with family and we played WII almost all day, which is always fun(right?) Santa brought the wii to Nancy and Kenny so we all stayed over there and played different games all day.

overall it was a great christmas, and of course the kids now have a ton of toys to figure out and find places for. Now its time to start thinking about Kennedi's 2nd birthday on the 30th. what a busy time of year!
