Haha new years!

Hey,
Sorry I forgot to post my New Years resolutions!! Sometimes I get busy and I forget about all my blog followers.....but I don't love you any less ;).
Well things have been busy lately. I am working in a hair salon right now, which I can say is probably the greatest salon I've worked in. The ladies I work with are all super fun and interesting. They keep me on my toes, but they are so kind. I'm also working for a bank near my home, and I LOVE IT. It's such a good fit for me, and I'm really looking forward to being finished with training so I can start working the line. Olin is becoming more and more engulfed in YouTube, and I'm so happy for him. He's so talented with video editing and creating, and YouTube really fulfills him and what he wants to do. The boys are growing SO quickly!
Buster: He's doing SO well in school, and is so responsible with his homework and being ready on time in the morning. He has recently learned to wash dishes (YIPPY) and he actually likes doing it. He never gives me trouble about helping at the house, and he's always so happy. Sometimes if feels like I'm living with Spongebob, but there are worse things right?

Gickos: Hes doing so well in school also! He loves his teacher and the kids in his class, but getting up in the morning isn't his fav. He is one child who needs his sleep! He's becoming more and more responsible with homework, but he needs a little push once in a while. He sometimes gets frustrated with reading, but it comes natural to him, so it's almost like he doesn't have to work as hard. He's SO smart, and super witty, which is something I love about him. I would really like to put him in a sports training class they have here, I think he'd really like it!

Taloopidoo: This is one little dude with an attitude! He's just turned two, and he knows what he wants and how he wants it! He has started showing interest in potty training (YAY!!) so we're starting the beginning phases of that fun time. LOL. The only problem with Taloopi right now is that he really doesn't know that he's only two...he thinks he is as big as Buster and there is no convincing otherwise. :)

Well, that's a little update on our life. Things are going really well and we're staying busy! We love you all.

Christmas Break

Welp, things are starting to slow down a little bit! I finished my finals last night and I am SO SO SO happy to have those classes finished. I want to puke just looking at all those books laying around! I think my grades aren't going to be as good as they were in the Spring, but I don't even care. I consider myself lucky to have pulled it off as good as I did considering two moves this year and about 40 credits complete. I'll probably end up with 3 Bs and 1 C, which I can totally live with. As the year draws to a close, and the holidays are upon us I think so much about my blessings, and the awesome things I've learned this year. Some of which are:

-Patience: the ability to let things work itself out even if it feels like the pressure to find an answer or a solution immediately is to much to handle.
-Love: unconditional love to those around me. I learned that showing love and concern for people around me creates opportunities and helps me feel happy and optimistic.
-Dreams: Spending my life doing things I hate will create a negative balance in my life, so I choose to do things I love and spend as little time as possible doing things I hate. I have a lot of dreams that over time have been swept under the rug, and now they're hanging fresh in my immediate thoughts, and I'm going to work towards achieving them.
-Children: They grow up! The time I have with my children is so limited. Its such a bitter sweet experience raising children, and I remembered this year to enjoy it. They are my little stud muffins that will forever love me and appreciate me (minus the 10 years that they think i'm stupid).
-Husband: I learned to choose my husband first. To make him my best friend, and my "go to" person. No one loves me as much as he does.
-Friends: Can be a wonderful addition to ones life, they can make any old day turn into something exciting, but something very important is that the opposite can occur as well. This year has shown me that choosing who my family associates with will directly influence us either positive or negative.

This has been an incredible year. I always love to have the optimism of the new year to look forward to, it's exciting! I hope this year has been good to everyone else. I love my family, and the new year is going to bring such great things, I can feel it in my bones.

Happy Holidays! Don't forget to set your New Years resolutions! You will be able to find mine here when it gets closer to 2011! Peace to all.

Sisters

This picture was taken the night before Jatauna got married, so about 2 weeks ago. My mom is such an inspiring person, and my sisters are my best friends. I usually don't go more than a couple days without texting or talking to all of them...which is why I no longer have to explain why I use up about 3k minutes every month on my phone. Jill and Julene are both expecting baby girls in the next 4-6 weeks. Justine is going to CSI and is yet to find art teacher who can teach her anything. Janna is still shaking up the world with her charm and good looks. Jatauna well, we all know what she's doing...she's been married 2 weeks. :) They are all good looking, hard workers, and an asset to those around them....but most of all they're my people.

III'MMM BBBAACKK!

I'm sure you are all excited to know that I am coming back to the wonderful world of blogging. I can't seem to find motivation to write in a journal and keep it on my night stand gathering dust, and besides....who does that help? I hope you will enjoy both the pictures and the video content I intend to embed on this blog. Our boys are getting older and they are getting funnier, and I can't help but think that you all will get a kick out of shizzle that comes out of their mouth. Hope all is well with you! Leave your blog address in a comment and I'll add you to my list. I lost a huge list of my favorite bloggers when I changed my background before I took this break, so please, if you leave a comment...leave your blog address. Until tomorrow friends!
