Happy New Year

I'm stealing my Moms's 2010 slogan. "Thin is in, in 2010" lol. Happy New Year friends and family. Wishing everyone lots of love, happiness and laughter this upcoming year. I am so excited to see what this new year brings and the surprises it holds! Let the good times roll...

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is here! It's so hard to believe. Another year has come and gone. This will be the first year that my family will not be meeting at my Grandmas for our tradition of dinner and opening presents. It's something I have done for the last 29 years and I will miss greatly. Yes, things are different and we have started new traditions but our memories will live on forever.

I feel so blessed to have the wonderful family that I have. God has been so good to Jay and I. We have amazing parents, beautiful healthy children and true friends. I am so full of laughter and cheer on this Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas!

Trip To Arizona

Home

Well we are back from our trip to Arizona! We got in late last night. We were able to spend five days with Jays family this time. I am so thankful we got to do this trip. The time spent with his Grandparents is priceless. I have a list a mile long to get done today so I will try and post pics later tonight!

Perfect

This makes for a great start to the day. :)

Christmas Time

Just wanted to share a little of what's been going on in our neck of the woods. The past couple of weeks we have been busy, busy! We got a head start on our Christmas decorating the day after Thanksgiving, we were a little anxious to get in the Christmas spirit! :) Last Thursday I took Madison and Bowen to Porterville to be in the Christmas parade with dad's church, which was a blast. We always have so much fun there. Last night was Haleigh's first band concert, she did a fabulous job! We are so incredibly proud of her! This year has been a lot of changes for her with a new school. She is working very hard and adjusting very well. I will now begin packing for our trip to Arizona. Jay's Uncle and Aunt are renewing their vows and Jay is the best man. We will get to be with most of Jay's family this trip which makes it so special. Hopefully this Holiday season finds you surrounded by family and friends. It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!!
