Happiness in 2016

We got this fun piano from Kent's brother Spencer and Marshal and Cort both LOVE it!

Beautiful winter sunset!

He doesn't realize it's not real yet.

Brothers having fun!

Figuring out the stairs...yikes!

For Young Women's we went to the Norman Rockwell art exhibit at BYU. 

My favorite piece was entitled "AScout is Helpful."

Braxton and I did soap carvings to get his bear earned in cub scouts. 

This is my seahorse

This is his wolf.

The Robison's went bird hunting and had a great time.

                                    

While hunting Kent saw a bald eagle in a tree.

It turns out being married to me will keep you 2 years more youthful...oops!

Happy birthday Kent!

My baby is growing up!

He even helps with laundry just like his brothers used to.

My kids LOVE when I host toy parties!

The end of an era. My green car died on the way home from seeing my midwife. 

Guess it's time for a new ride. 

Thanks for taking care of me a long time my little green car!

New Years Resolutions

I feel like 2015 was all about adjusting and surviving. There was a lot of wonderful and enjoyable moments last year, but really with adding a third child to our lives feel like I have been doing a juggling act and barely keeping all the balls in the air (if at all really). As we march into 2016 I have felt it appropriate that I put down the juggling act and start paving my pathway for the life that I want. I have felt very inspired to make my word for 2016 be that of "Returning."

Many people want to change, but I want to return. I want to return to a better me. I want to get back good health. I want to return to being more kind and loving as well as forgiving of others. I want to return to the healthy financial path that I started on a few years ago. I want to return to daily gratitude. I want to return to the level of spirituality I had before now. I want to take better care of myself. Not only do I want to maintain better cleanliness I want to take care of my appearance. I want to have more fun and enjoyment in my life. Finally I have really cut my Discovery Toys business back in order to survive and I want to return to working my business and connecting with others. I am going to evaluate my progress weekly and see where I need improvement, but I really want to allow myself the time to ease back into these things. I don't want to overwhelm myself with doing these all at once so I will focus on making small and simple changes and see where I fall short. I will take time to set these goals to ensure that I will set goals that are achievable. I look forward with excitement and gratitude for the wonderful and fun year that I know 2016 is going to be!
