Out With the Old

Out with the old year and in with the new. So long 2010! You were better than 2009 but I think 2011 can beat you both. Although, I must admit the prospect of turning 30 in March has me in quite a tailspin. It just doesn't seem right! As my Dad says, "It's better than the alternative." I know. He's right. But still, 30 seems awfully adultish. I guess it just reminds me that I am one! My hubby did a good job at comforting me a little bit ago. He said it's a beginning of a new ten years. A new ten years to reach the goals that I didn't reach in my twenties. I knew I married him for a reason. ;)






Christmas morning at my parents' house






This is what school does to Cadin. lol


So onto the kids, which I know is why most of you check here! They had a wonderful Christmas and have gotten settled back into school. They did excellent on both of their report cards. I couldn't be prouder of them! They are so smart. They're also really into their Dad here lately. Their new game is playing cops. So they "locked Brandon up" after supper tonight. Cadin comes in the living room where I am and says "Excuse me Ms., your husband needs his lawyer!" I laughed. These kids are hilarious! And to wrap that story up, Cadin and his "dog-wife" (big stuffed dog that sleeps on his bed- don't ask...that was a new one for us tonight!) ended up framing Brandon and committing the crime, which entailed stealing a backpack. They don't lack in the imagination department, do they?






Cam looking cool

We're planning a much needed vacation to Gatlinburg in the spring. We have a nice cabin booked and are excited. Eventually we hope to make it to Disney (next year or so) but until then, The Smokys will be perfect. It will just be nice to get away for a bit.




So among my many other resolutions, I am resolving to update this blog more this year. And if anyone has any words of comfort to share regarding my mini-pre-mid-life-crisis-ish, please send them my way! :)
