New Calling

I have been so busy this last month. I have been learning what I need to know to be effective as the Young Womens Secretary. Its easy to say I have a new calling and get the idea of it but as I go along there are more things about serving in the church that I just though happened. I am so excited for what lay ahead for me and I am preparing my lesson for next week. I am calm now but I know I will get nervous later. I am still on the activities committee and so with both callings and my family and work, it keeps me mostly out of trouble. If I wasn't getting into trouble you would all be worrying!

Hey all

I love this picture...It was taken last year when we took an impromptu trip to Oregon to go see my grandparents, aunt and uncle and cousins. I thought that I was going to go crazy yesterday.....Ty was crabby and he wanted to say no to everything and then he would make up his mind about what he wanted. How fun would that be to say no to everything and then make up my mind?? Not so fun. This year I am joining in on the New Years Cliche and I am going to try to lose weight like I did before Ty was born..... Can someone turn off my urge to eat sweets? TOday I drank 80 oz of water!!!! Good girl...Then I made molasses cookies....Does anyone see a problem here???? I love to bake and its hard not to when Ty pulls a chair into the kitchen and asks me if he can help me. Have a great day everyone!!!!

New Year, New Post

I guess I didn't write on here for a long time because I didn't know what to say. My words that are in my head don't ever make it out of my mouth, because they are not the happy things that I usually feel. BUT today I am sad. There is more going on then I want to admit. There are tough things going on that I would like to know how I can help make it better. Sometimes there is nothing I can do... That makes it tougher.

Update

This is the most recent picture of me. From September 22 to October 22 I made a pact with one of my co-workers to not eat chocolate. WHAT!?!?! I can't believe I was crazy enough to think that there was a possibility that I could go that long without it. Well I am proud to say that there was only two times that I actually broke the pact but I did AWESOME!
I cannot believe that I am a mother of a two year old. I cried when he blew out his candles. I am going to be one of those sappy moms. I am ok with that. I have never been happier in my life then to be a mom. And what makes it more special is that I get to raise him with a man who I love!!!!
It is getting to be blanket season again.... I love blankets!!!! I am obsessed. Maybe its because I remember when I was little that I used to pile on the blankets and tuck them in on all sides but where my pillow was and then I would wiggle and crawl into my cocoon of blankets to fall asleep. Ohhh I love that feeling. I am happy that my son loves blankets.I am working on my husband. :)
My Morgan had surgery last week. She had her tonsils removed and she is doing amazing. I am so lucky to be the aunt of seven very beautiful nieces!

Bouncy Place

I was told that I am a facebook junkie. I wish I enjoyed posting blogs as much as I love checking out whats going on in other peoples lives on facecrack. By request of a fellow junkie, here is one of many videos taken of us at the bouncy place on Saturday. We went with a friend of ours and the kids had a BLAST. Lucky me I gave Karl the camera and this is what happened as a result.
We have been busy, but not too busy lately. I have no excuses for not updating this more often, but I will try to do better. On a side note, my baby boy turns 2 in 12 days. I am alittle (OK ALOT) freaking out about it.

APPLESAUCE!!!!

This last weekend my sister and mom made my grandma's applesauce. It was so time consuming and exhausting but it was so worth it. We ended up with 30 jars of applesauce and I still wanted more. Karl is happy that I finally used the equiptment that he bought me a few years ago. I just never had the space to can and now I am still itching to make more.
I made applesauce with my grandparents a few years ago and when I came back with my load everyone in my family wanted some. Don't worry I shared, but now my mom and sister know how to make it so everyone can make as much as they want. Thank you Debbie, Mom and my beautiful nieces for making the sauce with me!
