I think I'll keep it this way for now!
Okay I changed the header and background and all, but I'm not digging it! Are you? My pictures lost some of their quality in the process and I think I need some more visual interest! But I just had to get the Christmas stuff down, don't know why, but ya know I felt like I was behind the times or something ;)!

Not Me Monday
Wow, it's that time of the week already (and I didn't even do one last week)! Time for Not Me Monday, where you can tell get off your chest all the wrong, embarrassing or improper things you've done the past week! You can visit MckMama to check out what everyone else "Didn't Do" this week!
It is not time for my kids to go back to school tomorrow already! And they did not ask me if we could home school again next year today! Had they asked this, their reason would not have been so because they get hungry at school and at home they can eat whenever! I of course did not tell them that that was not a good reason! Oh yeah and I'm not looking forward to at least having the two of them back in school either! And there is no way I'm sending my four year old to pre-school in the fall, which would give me 3 out of 4 gone part-time anyway!
I did not just hear Alvin and the Chipmunks singing Living on a Prayer on the TV, that would be just plain weird!
I did not forget to bathe my kids for several days since they weren't going to school and my routine was completely off!
My sweet and wonderful baby did not cry and fuss for over an hour last night. After attempting to get him to sleep twice we did not let my cry for awhile the third time in his crib! We would not do that because he was all congested and that wouldn't be nice! Part of my reason for doing, ahem I mean not doing that wasn't so I could go out walking before it got any later! I'm not determined to walk every day even though my goal is to walk 5 days a week.
We did not go to church yesterday for the first time in almost 6 months! This is not the start of a new trend ;)!
My baby did not just WALK over to me saying MAMAMAMA with the stinkiest diaper ever and then when I picked him up he did not spit out an earring that has the number 41 on it, that I've never seen before!!

Forgot to Mention
I never said Happy Birthday to this little guy who is a whole 4 years old! I truly can't believe how the time flies! Because his birthday is two days before Christmas his little party will be next weekend. But he did manage to have two cakes already!
I don't have the obligatory newborn photo handy as they would be on an external hard drive that is currently not hooked up. But here's one when's only a few months old.
Also remember my post about memorizing Psalm 139 that Angie at Bring the Rain invited people to join in on a few weeks ago, well the goal was to be done by the new year, and well I'm not done! But I've not given up, I'm half through! It is really nice memorizing a longer piece of scripture and working on memorizing Psalm 139 encouraged me to add Scripture Memory to be resolutions list!
Happy New Years!
Okay I'm a little late! But not too bad! I've been waiting to post till I had time to write down a few things! Really I feel like I've got a ton I could write, but I'll try not to bore you to death!
First off, as of yesterday, Joshy is doing his best to walk ALL the time! He is constantly trying to walk everywhere! He will now often go 15 steps or so! This video is just the most steps I have on camera. The noise at the end is a combo of noises, you may want to turn down the volume!
And now on to Resolutions!
I've put off writing these not because I don't want to , but because I wasn't sure what all I wanted to include, I'm sure I could write a book of things I want to change! But this will not be a book, I promise!!
1. Lose weight - 50 pounds actually - my main ways I intend to start working on this
~Drink 5 glasses of water a day or more and only one glass or less of soda or juice
~Walking at least 5 days a week for 30 minutes at a time
I will add to this if I stop losing weight with these things
2. Be a better Mom~and~ Wife
~ have more fun with the kids
~be less critical and give more compliments
~ pray with and for them more
~keep up with the housework more
3. Be a better Christian
~ go to church 3 out of 4 Sundays (we've not been going in awhile)
~ memorize at least a one piece of scripture a month
That's it, not that I couldn't add to it! And you know I can't do these things alone, it will take a lot of strength from God to keep on working at my goals and I'm sure I will mess up here and there but with grace hopefully I will accomplish something through my efforts!
I had some other things I wanted to write but got wrapped up in writing those so now they've left my head! Sometimes it's hard to think when kids are watching TV and talking to me and laughing loudly in the same room! Here are some parting shots of Joshua inside the diaper(cloth & disposables) drawer that he emptied and climbed inside of!
