Since the twins started school Chloe has had alot of alone time with me. Most of the time she is coloring, or drawing or playing with play dough or something artistic. She got some finger paints for Christmas and me being a mom that hates cleaning up crazy big messes I was a little unsure about letting her play with them, but surprisingly she did awesome! and I know I need to lighten up a little but about the mess, after all they are only little once.

 

 

 

I am almost done with the table, we haven't been able to eat there for over a week, but I only have 2 more chairs to finish or if I can talk my hubby into building me a bench I would love that instead. I might post pics tomorrow of what I have done so far.

I am working on my dining room table today! I am hoping it will be done sometime tomorrow. I will post pictures as soon as I can. I cant wait!!

My christmas present

For Christmas my hubby surprised me with one of these!

I was so excited and it has already changed my life.

Did you know it shredded chicken?

 

 

Not babies anymore

Tonight I was reminded that we have lived her in Rock Springs for over 3 1/2 years! When we moved here this is what my girls looked like! I was also reminded how fast the time flies!



South Pass City

In November hubby and I took the girls to see South Pass City. Its an old ghost town in Wyoming that has been restored. The girls actually really liked it and it is kinda cool to go look around.

 

 

It was surprising warm here in November, we only needed some jackets

A view of part of the town, they also had a fun antique shop we visited, my weakness.

 



 

At the time Chloe was really into giving kisses, and she always looked like duck lips. I loved it!

These are my resolutions for the new year

I want to incorporate faith more into my life on a daily basis. I want to become more disciplined about it; not just dropping to my knees and praying out of sheer desperation. To teach my children about why it is important to me and to help them build a strong foundation.
I want to accept this new baby into our family with grace and strength. Being a mother is hard, the hardest thing I've ever done. I don't want to be just another mom yelling at her kids, pulling her hair out, trying to make sure they are all alive at the end of the day. I really, truly would like to be their guide, their teacher. I want to be able to go through my day calm knowing I can do this with grace!!!!
I really want to work on my relationship with my husband. I love that man so much and yet I don't show it enough. I feel like I am falling short in this department. I think the kids take everything I have out of me and there is just nothing left to give at the end of it all but it doesn't have to be that way, something needs to change. I am going to make an effort to put him first and to show him how much I love him and appreciate everything he does for our family.
