New Year, New Adventures, New Resolutions


Ben and I have been taking pictures together on New Years. We don't get many of each other together, so at least we get one a year!
I kept wanting to take another picture because I looked nerdy or something, but then I finally just said I think this is what I look like and I should accept it!! ha ha. Older+nerdier=perfect.
Sitting below us!:
Taking turns holding Mackayla. When Macey's done, she's done - get her away:)


Just a couple of resolutions this year:
1. TELL the scriptures to my kids. I have been reading them a verse or two each night, exhausted from the day. They barely listen and I don't have the energy to force them. But they Love me to tell them stories. One's about a dog I made up named Harold and dinosaurs. So I started telling them the scriptures. I have started at the beginning of the Book of Mormon and will try to go through it chronologically and read a quick phrase or scripture each night. Plus it will help me because I have to read ahead to tell the story right and plan ahead. So far it's working! 
2. Not yell when I get frustrated at my going crazy/naughty children. Don't judge. 

She loves this stuff:
I love watching those first few bites when their little tongue is always in the way!
Ben and a residency: He has gotten some really positive responses from a couple places. We'll just have to wait and see...the anticipation is killing me! Either way in five short months we'll be moving out of felony flats. Holla!

Carrie - Just for the record, you are BEAUTIFUL! When I moved into the ward I remember being a little jealous of how beautiful you were. Before I knew your name I described you as "that REALLY pretty girl who talked to us at the pioneer thing" ... So don't be so hard on yourself! :)

WE MISS YOU!
