Been way too long...

Wow! I haven't been on here in almost 2 months. Thats hard to believe. So I'll do a quick year in review. :)

To start off...the infamous sleeping pictures of the boys. :) My how they have grown.
Our first visit to Bucanner bay, courtesy of a store that will remain nameless due to a water heater issue. Then it was off for another Rent adventure/road trip. Which will forever be known as the understudy madness show. :)Then 2 weeks later it was off to my second home again...NYC!! And who can forget those NASTY upshots. We were desperate and tired, but not that desperate. Just smelling them gave me enough energy to make it through Pennsylvania. hahaha
Finally, after 12 hours we could see the skyline! It really looked much closer than it does in the picture.First stop of course....To be followed up with 4 more visits and tickets to every show. Lots of time spent in Time Square and enjoying the city.Mason turning 8!In the spring began the Presidential race visits. Sorry for the bad picture, I can't figure out how to delete it.The twins turned 4!!
Masons very first piano recital. :)
The twins following in big brothers foot steps. :)
The boys riding their bikes with no training wheels.
Very first fishing trips and no one fell in can you believe it. haha
My cousin Amber coming to visit. If she were here she would totally kill me for putting this picture up. She was such a character and could always make me laugh. I miss her terribly!
The kids first road trip and our first family vacation.
And finally...the decision to homeschool the boys.

Okay, so its not short, but there you have it. This year has been filled with up, downs, happys, sads and a ton of "firsts". As this year came to a close I was more than ready for it to be over!! The last few months especially have been really rough for me, which is when I tend to not blog. As this new year began today I realized that are so many things changing and probably some things that need to be changed. I want to be a more deligent, happier, time efficient, healthier woman, mother, sister and friend. I want to succeed at this thing called life. :) And I have to say that without many of you I wouldn't have made it through this past year. So thank you...I love you all.

So, here's where I'm starting. I need accountability, BADLY. :) So I am going to start posting my weekly curriculum on here. I am extremely eager to get back into school work. I'm taking a new approach! I will get into that more on another post. I am also joining in with my friend Lindsay (and so many others) and devoting myself to a healthier, and hopefully skinnier, me. I can do pretty good at eating honestly, its the excersing that I tend to fall off the wagon with. I LOVE to run, its just I don't have a ton of motivation. It has always been my dream to be able to run a 5K, specifically the one in NYC, go figure right. I want to accomplish it this year!! So with that I will be doing a ton of schedules on here.

Its off to bed I go so that I can get up at a decent time in the morning, weigh in, and get some excercising in, along with setting my school schedule for the week. Lots to do! Hopefully I can keep up with the energy.

Night all~
