New Years Eve

We aren't doing anything tonight but catching up on life. I have to work in the morning so low key, but it is all good. I folded the ever mounting laundry pile and figured out bills so that feels great. The kids went to a movie with Bob today and took Hunter shopping which was thrilled about. He got a new gun and a race track, so a seven year old boy a day doesn't get any better! I went to shopping with Stacey and got some cool stuff for the house. Darcy has totally inspired me after visiting her a few weeks ago. Her house is the most comfortable house I have ever been in! It is so homey and classy at the same time. Our photos are throughout her house which is so sweet and meaningful. She has arrangements throughout her house of pictures and art work, I can only dream to come close to her knack. She also has a lot of her own artwork which is just cool. Again very inspiring.

I am so excited for 2013! It has to be better then 2012, so many bad things happened in 2012. Personally and globally....I was so so sick in July, I worked as a manager which I thought I would love but didn't, Brandon and I created a debt that scares us, and most of all Croix Benning Briscoe died. I know 2013 has to be better!

With that being said I did get one of the best gifts of all, I be came an aunt. Kenlee Ann Smith is so amazing, she is old soul in a baby body. Her eyes are mesmerizing, she looks at you and you can literally see everything...everything good in the world. She is such a blessing....even if she gave me a lot of grey hairs coming out!

Goals personally for 2013 are:

Figure out money
Lose some weight
Get the house in order
Allow the kids to have friends over
Get the kids to do chores and respect money
Remember not to throw kids birthday parties
Spend more time with people that count
Do something special for my husband and try everyday to remember that I am lucky to be married to him even when life gets hard.
Go to Atlanta for the first time in eleven years....I miss my dad!
Remember life is short....sometimes way to short!

Brooklyn's resolution is to watch more tv....to funny. If I have anything to say about it that would be a no!

Packer Viking Game day

I just downloaded blogger to the iPad and I super excited to start blogging again!

Today we are going to have mom, bob, and Jackie over for the Packer Viking game. I can't wait to hold Kenlee, she is so damn cute. We are going to try mini tacos in the wonton wrappers. Fun stuff.

Brandon and Timmy went for a walk in the state park, hunting is their life!

Brooklyn is going with Mom to pick out a new doll.

Everyone came over for the game it was fun. I am always worried how Jamie will take the game...he hasn't yet hit the fact that it is just a game but it is coming soon, I see how he is a wonderful father... And with this.... games all of sudden don't matter as much. The Vikings did win though, but I think it puts us " packers" in the benefit. Kenlee looked so cute in her Vikings outfit and I loved that she had another one to put on right after she peed on the first.
