Lately

Here's what has been going on lately:

* I had got to do the bulletin board in the primary room.

This one for the year:

And this one to change (only slightly) every month:

I was SO stressed about it, I don't know why- I'm just wierd like that :) I guess I felt major pressure to make it cute.  It's not perfect but I am happy with it overall.

* Hudson started going to preschool the beginning of Jan, he is warming up to it slowly.  He wants me to stay there the entire time but I sneak out when he gets busy. ;)  His favorite part is doing his homework, he loves to pull his out when Braiden and Brody are working on theirs.

*Braiden and Brody have been busy with basketball they love it. I enjoy their games, only 30 min long and basketball is a quick moving sport. :) Wed night Braiden made the game saving shot in the last 30 sec it was AWESOME!! I was screaming and almost bawling.

* Joslyn loves to clomp around the house wearing her Belle dress-up shoes, pushing her shopping cart with her baby in tow. I love love love it --SO cute! It is always very interesting to look through her shopping cart to see what random items she has gathered up. My favorite thing she does though is when she feeds her dolly a (play) bottle and says, "gink yo milk" awww! Good little mama.

She is ready to be potty trained!  She goes 1 & 2 , I just need to get out, buy the panties and make it official.  This is insane to me, she JUST turned TWO.

* I just finished up The Distant Hours by Kate Morton.  Ever read a book of hers? Always a mystery, she keeps you guessing until the end.  Her books usually span a time period of  80-90-100 years and she jumps from one time period to another throughout the book, but in the end  it all comes together in a nice little package. The Distant Hours was a very entertaining read but I think I liked The Forgotten Garden just a bit better.

* Nate got me a Kindle Fire for Christmas, I am loving it! My favorite thing is to play Words with Friends. Do you play?
I am stuck in my old ways though I still like reading on my old Kindle but I love the Fire for everything else! :)

* I want to join pinterest so badly. I'm just annoyed that you have to have a facebook or twitter account to join, I don't want to join facebook, is this so dumb of me??

* I guess I am doing that crazy relay race again this year. Only 126 days until the race.  Now that may seem like a long time... but when I have to think about getting back to running 6 miles that, my friends is not nearly long enough! I found this awesome quote yesterday:

"You're off to great places!

Today is your day!

Your mountain is waiting,

So...get on your way!"

Dr. Seuss
