A new chapter...

Every so often I think its good to throw out the old (guilt, sadness, frustration, laziness and so on and so on...) and start FRESH!!! My husband just left today for two weeks :( But I am feeling like this is a good time to give myself a second chance at getting on top of things! Especially since I wont have to worry about making big meals or what not... Tommy and Kyla are just as happy with mac-n-cheese or frozen pizza! Well, lets be honest...Kyla's happy with good ol' mommy's milk :) and I love it!

So I am setting some goals for the next few weeks. I better write them down or they prob wont happen...oops, thinking out loud again!
-Get organized
-Get food storage started
-Get and keep my house clean!
-Start picking up those beautiful scriptures that I walk past 100 times a day!
-Last and definently most important...Getting on my knees more than once a day to thank my heavenly father for my amazing life!!!


I love my family, I love where I live, I love all you that read this and comment and I love who I am! So with that said, it's time to get going... I got a lot to do!!!! Mwah...


Love to all...

Here is the evidence....


This guy was laying in the casket and would sit up and scare the kids...It was priceless!

How could anyone be afraid of this little dragon???

Tommy is ready to attack...He's thirsty for YOUR blood!!!


Carson is a Race Car Driver!!! and tommy took off his wings, so now he looks like a burglar!!!


Trick or treat bandits... these boys were literally running from house to house and they still didn't want to be finished when we said it was time to come home! I think they went to our neighbors about 5 times :)
Takin a breather.... don't worry, this didn't last long....
