A New Season, A New Goal

"To reach a goal you have never before attained, you must do things you have never before done." -Richard G. Scott

So, I have been feeling like such a loser. I waste so much time on facebook lately, and no time updating my blog. I know that I am one of those people whose mood is affected by the weather. It seems like every winter I go through kind of a slump. I get to the point where I don't really want to go anywhere or do much if it's cold and wet outside, so I end up staying home and doing, well...not much of anything. I know! I could be updating blogs or reading or doing some worthwhile thing right, but I don't. I can't wait for Spring. Anyway, so for anyone who keeps up with our blog, I promise I am going to do much better. My goal is to update atleast once a week!

Our life is full of so many wonderful blessings. We are enjoying good health and we have a lovely home, and each other. We are so blessed!

Let's see, just some hightlights on what's been going on since I can't possibly catch up on the entire year:

Kinsley is nearing the end of her 2nd grade year. She is doing so well with her reading and math. She is her Momma's girl. She loves math and is really good at it. Even though she reads great, she has had some trouble with her comprehension which was something I always struggled with. She loves art and music. She has really grown a lot this last year, and is becoming more and more confident and beautiful.

Karter is finishing Kindergarten. He loves to be outside and run all over the hills around our house. He has a 'secret hiding place' out in the wash the runs behind the house. When he can't be found anywhere else, you can usually find him there. He is doing great in school! He has a lot of friends and enjoys having them over almost every day after school. He has enjoyed going to school early lately to eat at the cafeteria and hang out with the older kids during lunch. Makes me kinda sad because he'll make sure no one's watching when I drop him off, before he'll kiss me. He keeps us laughing.

Kamryn, just turned three in January and she is so full of energy. She loves to cuddle and spend time with her Mommy. Atleast she hasn't grown out of that yet! I have enjoyed our time together after the other kids go to school. We like to load up in the stroller and take long walks when the weather is nice. We have had a few nice days here and there lately. She is my baby, and I am just trying to hold on to that as long as I possibly can.

Jarrod has had a good year at work. He was nominated officer of the year. Also, their squad was named the number one squad in the Northern Arizona region, based on stops made, arrests, DUI's and drug seizures, something he is very proud of. He has been working out a ton lately and is nearly back to the weight he was down to after the police academy. He has amazing determination and self discipline. I am very proud of him.

I have been playing a lot of volleyball. We have a great group of ladies that meet together twice a week and play down at the church. I love, love, love being able to get out and be with friends and do something I enjoy. It's been great exercise too. I have been doing some babysitting here and there too. Jarrod and I have a vaction planned for June to the Bahama's we are soo..excited about that.

And there you have it..a quick update.
