Our Christmas present
I forgot to post this. This is Missy. She is a little trouble maker, but we are going to try to break her of that :)
note to my mom
Hey mom I was just thinking of you and looked back in 2008. I thought I would tell you that I am proud of you and hope that this message will give you the strength you need to stick to your diet. Look back in 2008 to I think 4/08 and you will see your before and after pics. Imagine losing another 20-40 lbs so I can post them to show everyone how well you are doing. I know you are trying to get your motivation back and I hope that does it. I love you so much and am proud of you for trying to reach your goal of fitting into your wedding dress again so you and dad can get remarried. THIS IS THE YEAR!!! YOU CAN DO IT MOM!!
Things I learned last year
1. Your house is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it
2. You can lose $200,000.00 worth of equity in 8 months
3. My husband knows me more than I think he does
4. We really depend on the economy for us to make money
5. My vote really doesn't count, but I will do it anyway to just to say I voted a certain way
6. I take for granted all of the wonderful things I have in my life
7. I have an out-of-control spending habit (that I am taking care of)
8. I am clinically depressed/have postpartum depression
9. CREDIT IS BAD!!!
10. 3 kids is do-able, but very,very hard
11. 3 kids test your sanity every minute of the day
12. 2 yr olds are hard when they're mischievious (but I love her dearly)
13. I can sing in front of my husband (and he doesn't laugh :)
14. Realators are paid way too much!!!

Lia Sophia
Hi everyone. I hope all is well. I have a desperate plea to everyone.
IF YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO DO A PARTY FOR ME LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATLY!!!
I have not had a party in a month and it's not for lack of trying, let me just tell you. I have been busting my rear to find a hostess and I have had a lot of people give me their numbers and then avoid my calls. I am not talking about 2 or 3 people. I probably have had 10 people do this to me. My manager and all my team mates, who are all in CEDAR!, are have 3-5 parties a week. I feel like such a failure. John tells me it's just the economy, but why are my team mates getting so many. My manager is asking us to recruit too. MORE competition. 2 of my team mates have recruited already. I just don't know what to do. any ideas call or email me. Thanks.

UGH!!!
OK, so I was on the phone talking with my mom and all of the sudden Katie came to ask me to put on a dress up. I put it on and notice that her hair looks funny. Taking a better look, SHE LOPPED OFF ALL OF HER HAIR!!! I was so irate her and Paige got put in the corner. Paige said she watched Katie do it and thought she looked beautiful. That's why she didn't come tell me. I always tell John to stop telling Paige to not be a tattle tail. UGH!!
Saturday Christmas with John's family
So Saturday we held our Christmas party and it was postponed again because all of our neighbors that we borrow bocats from were out of town and we couldn't get our driveway cleared. Well once everyone came, we had a yummy dinner and opened lots of gifts. The kids once again got spoiled and the loved everything they got. I got an indian necklace frm Susan and Anna had me this year and she got me a candle and picture frame. Daniel got John this year and he gave him Ghostbusters one and two. I think I like it more than him though. The girls got a little house from abby and a scarf and hat combo from 'Vaeh which was so cute. Joey got a cute baby t-ball set from Susan that he plays with all the time.
Well they stayed for games and then everyone was outta here by 10:30 pm.
We had a Great Christmas season this year although we did not have too much to spend. I want to thank everyone for their kindness and love. I cherish every one of you :)

Pre Christmas
So our Christmas season started out at the Church where Christmas should be started ;) We went to a Ward Christmas party and Paige was an angel and katie was a sheep. Suprising enough Katie was soooo happy to be a sheep. All night she was saying BAH and would not take off the sheepskin for anything. Paige loved being an angel and was gloating to Katie, but it did not phase her one bit.
A couple nights later our good friends the Jensens invited us for a Christmas Party at their house. We ate a yummy dinner that was prepared by Tara and the guests brought desserts or appetisers. We played fun games until we looked at the clock and our babysitter needed to get home, bummer. We had so much fun, THANK YOU TRENT AND TARA!! I was especially happy to be with my friends again. Ever since school started we have not seen too much of each other. I can't wait for summer so we can go camping and go to the creek again :) I hope I am still here to have those memories again.
We were invited to a live nativity by Sarah Green, but it was snowing and we didn't want the kids to ruin it for us being in the cold. So, although I really wanted to go, we decided to have a family movie night instead. Thanks Sarah, maybe next year!!

Christmas Eve and Day
Well Christmas Eve was spent giving gifts to those who we weren't going to see on Christmas, or so we thought we'd see everyone. So we first headed over to Grandma Pectol's who was so happy we came. She gave the kids hugs, kisses, and a wonderful piggy bank that they all loved. She loved our family picture and was excited for her party that night. We then headed over to Ann's to wish her a Merry Christmas. She was eating, of course we always get there as she gets her food. So I chit chatted for a while with her until John got there. When we opened her gift for her she started Crying. It had been a long time since we gave her a family picture and she was so grateful. It broke my heart in a way because we don't see her enough, and John doesn't like seeing her in a hospital bed so it's a big ordeal for me to get him over there. We headed home to find out that it was going to snow. So we cancelled our Christmas party until saturday, which was a good thing because we got 8inches from that storm!!! That's added to the 22 inches we had the previous week!
So Christmas was spent over at my parents house with my Sister and her family, and of course my parents. We had a great dinner and opened lots of gifts. The girls love the dresses my mom made and the shoes to go with it. They play with the easel and Barbie house my sister got EVERY day! Joey loves the little car garage that Christine and Mark got and he loves the battery powered toothbrush my mom and dad got. John and I love the boots they got for him too. My mom also made comfy pajama pant for him, i told her to make me some because I was jealous :) One gift that I thought was so great was Katy's gift of homemade cookies. She made them in Lewiston, ID and sent them to the kids for christmas. She also made us all a cute calander with all of our kids' pictures in it. She gave my kids Mickey mouse memory which they LOVE!! Thank you Katy.
We went home and had a relaxing evening together which was so nice. Thank you everyone for everything!!

trying to find time
SO HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!! I am currently trying to find time to blog. We put our house on the market on the 2nd and I have been cleaning every waking minute to try to make it look somewhat presentable. If I ever have a house this big again I am hiring a maid or two!!(which will be never)
New year's resolutions:
Sell the house and move to a SMALLER place.
Lose 20 lbs (HA!)
be better with organizing office
Stop spending money (HA!)
Do schooling with the kids
make more time to PLAY with the kids
I could go on for hours on things I want to work on this year. One main one is to become prosperous at my Lia Sophia. I really want to do well at it and I know the potential.
I will be posting my christmas pictures real soon, I hope. So keep checking back! and pray for me to sell my house so I am not committed in the NUTHOUSE!!!!
