New Years Reso... What?!?

It has CeRtaiNLy been a while since publishing my last post. In which I have neglected ALoT going on in our lives. Obviously, Christmas aNd New Years has come and gone and spite some certain issues we've had, overall it was a pretty darn good Christmas. The kids were spoiled (MiRaCuLouSLy), and we spent it in good health. You cant ask for much more.

Now that the Holidays have come and gone we all often take this time to reflect on our new years resolutions. Here's how I feel about that... BLAH!! :) I tend to always Re-Resolutionize (yah, I know that is not a word.. Which I just may have questioned whether it was or was not without spell check) my life. When one area is weak, I try to note that and put focus to it, ALL year long. 

Today... 

I realize I need to stop using Facebook as my ridiculous excuse of a lifes blog. Ugh.. can I get any more lazy?! Ok maybe LAZY isn't the right word for that... I Post some pictures make a few updates, that are in no way clever or have much thought put into them (not to mention mostly with misspelled words in the seconds I post them from my Phone. Not that I spend the amount of time that would be Ideal to me on Blogger. But...). I MUST get back to blogging.  

I realize I have become incredibly un-organized over the last month or two. Which I have tried to organize the house more but My Car, Work... more Closets still have much needed attention. 

I realize my body is unbelievably SOFT. I am becoming more and more of the fattest skinny person ever. I need to put some effort into my body structure. 

I also realize I haven't ventured out with the kids and taken some updated (good) pictures. I used to be so much better about that. And loved feeling like I was progressively getting better at photography. Now its back to the basics. :/. I realize I need to spend more time teaching my children principles. Not only of life and the golden rule, and SeRvIcE but of our savior.. 

I realize how much I have truly valued my friendships made, kept, and have tried keeping in my life with various get-together's. I don't want that to stop. Its truly what keeps me sane. Something to look forward to.

I could go on and on about what I realize what I have been missing or neglecting in my life or want to continue for that matter. But what does matter is that the desire IS there. It is always there, I just let life get in the way of all of it.  

As I type Im stuck taking care of a poor sick little Gage. He is SOO sweet and it pains me to see him in such agony. I couldn't ask for a more tenderhearted little boy in my life. I am truly blessed with my children although on a daily basis I want to strangle them.. OR myself. Whichever. I realize without them I wouldn't know what's what. And I still feel this way even when things go array.  If I am not watching or paying attention to those boys and their EVERY mischievous move I walk into something gone horribly wrong. A mangled kitty, Permanent marker drawn ALL over the brand new TV, My skirts cut up.. etc etc. and it doesn't seem to matter which way I handle it that they will most certainly do it again. My patience is without a doubt being tested and meant to endure in this time of my life. A Blessing in disguise.  One of the biggest things I am really learning and trying to put into my daily grind is to not sweat the small stuff. Look on the brighter side. Don't even focus on the negative. It only takes away that energy that is good and will help you progress...

I was taken away to tend to Gage, but I do want to leave some photos attached of some of the things we've been up to.

again...

-I am Truly Blessed and couldn't be more grateful for who and what I have in my life-
