Disengaged Motivation

The new year has come. Usually I am very motivated. I set goals and feel excited to start again. This year is different. I am motivated in some areas, but in others I just plain don't care. Sadly, I haven't been eating very healthy, my pants are fitting (but a little tighter), and for some reason I couldn't drag myself to make any goals pertaining to weight, working out or nutrition. So here I am blogging, hoping that maybe a confession will light a fire under my "can" and get me going.


Here are a few little tidbits from the year that I want to include that I forgot.


Daddy is the best toy ever!

Tommy's game must be extremely tiring for onlookers.
This was my first attempt to be as cool as my other mom friends who make way cool birthday cakes. Mine fell to pieces before it was eaten. Oops.

Ugly sweater day at Micron has gotten a little out of hand. I still love you babe.

All in all it was a good year. Maybe even great. Truely I have been blessed with a great year. I can't wait to see what the next one brings.

Little Miss Ballerina

Ballet at three? Crazy right? Taylor didn't learn how to dance, but she ALMOST learned to stand in a line, take turns, listen to an adult, and follow directions. Honestly, it was so cute to watch my little ballerina in her pink duds. It was worth every penny spent on ballet shoes, tap shoes, leotards, etc...

I love you TayTay!

December in a Nutshell

December is always a funfilled month. This year was no exception. So here are some pictures in no particular order (I'm too busy for order). Let the chaos ensue.
Santa is such a great guy. He always pulls through (even if it takes a last minute run to the nearest Walmart).

I can't tell if the look on his face is a good sign or bad sign.

Tommy knows for sure that this was the real Santa. Strange that Santa's roots were coming in black.

Silly children! This was our traditional family photo at the micron Christmas party.

Uncle Rob read "Twas the Night Before Christmas". He had a captive audience.

Emily and I have so much fun together. I'm so greatful that she has kids around the same time as me. Our kids are such good friends.

What a wonderful season. Can't wait till next year!!! Sad to think that we only get approximately 80 of these.
