My New Years Resolution!

Ok, you might be thinking... is this joke? Are my eyes deceiving me? Did she actually post on her blog?

No, this is not a joke and you aren't going crazy... I am actually posting for the first time since I set up the blog last Spring! Sad... yes, I know. Give me a hard time, I deserve it! One of my lesser, but still important NY resolutions this year is to consistently post on this blog at least once a week. I have to give props to my friends who do blog consistently, after reading some of your blogs I realized how cool this was to be able to have a journal of your family and your life! So here we go!

Life with 3 kids has been treating us pretty well... Yes, at times it is crazy, but I really think it would be just as crazy even if the baby wasn't here. He just causes it to be slightly more crazy, but slightly is barely measurable! ;) He is such a sweet baby...

Our holidays were very nice. We spent Thanksgiving with Craig's family and they were nice enough to make the drive to Van Buren so we didn't have to travel with a 3 week old. We had a great time and lots of good food. Then my sister and sweet husband threw me a 30th surprise birthday party, and yes, it was a surprise. I didn't figure it out till we got there. And what a special surprise! It really made turning 30 less painful! I really appreciated everyone who came and especially those that made a drive from Tulsa or Kansas City! It was a Luau to remember... Craig, and mostly Becky, did an awesome job! We spent Christmas with my family and yet again my parents were so kind to come here instead of us dragging ourselves and our many children to Tulsa. We had a great time and the kids really enjoyed Christmas this year. The memorable gifts for Emma were her ride on airplane and Barbie vanity. For Noah, it was, without a doubt, his shake-n-go race track and cars! Hours of endless fun! He also liked his ride on airplane too! For Jake, well, I think he slept while we opened gifts!

On New Years eve, we spent the day and early evening in Tulsa with my mom and dad. We left around the kids bedtime and were in bed ourselves around 11pm. I don't think we have seen the new year rung in since kids... But that is life... sleep is a priority for SO, SO many reasons!

So far, 2008 has been busy. Work started back up for me and Craig as well as school and all our various activities. Last weekend we had a Leadership Conference at church that kept us busy and up late, but was well worth it. Hoping for a relaxing weekend coming up!
