I had to give a talk in sacrament, I am not too good at speaking and I am glad it is over. All of the people are so nice and they always say I enjoyed your talk and such but it never gets easier for me. The topic was prayer and fasting, I learned quite a bit from studying that I plan on using so it was good for me. This afternoon Broc, Ashtyn and I went for a ride in the car up the mirror lake highway, I wanted to see how much snow there still is. At first I thought that we would not find too much. We drove about 28 miles up the canyon and we found a lot of snow the road is not open yet the boys were really excited to see all of the snow on the 26Th of June. I really enjoyed spending time with the boys and showing them the Provo River Falls and being in the mountains. When I was a little girl we would take a ride up the canyon and see the falls it was fun. Jaycee had gone tending for a lady who needed to go to a viewing and Riley has allergies so bad he was not feeling well today. So I took the little boys with me and they had a good time.

Yesterday was the Summit County Queen Contest. There were 7 girls competing for different age groups for Summit County Queen, Little Buckaroo Queen, Princess and Jr. Princess. Jaycee tried out for Princess. She had to model her outfit, give a speech on "Who in Summit County is a Barrel of fun", answer an impromtu question, have an interview and do a pattern on her horse at the arena. Jaycee was crowned the 2011 Summit County Little Buckaroo Princess. Congradulations Jaycee. She improved a lot this year, we had a good time, and now the fun begins. She will be in parades, rodeos and represent Summit County as the Princess for 2011. She received lots of cool prizes. Her and Yellow Jacket will have fun just being cute, so make sure you watch for her.

This is how I know that spring is on it's way, it is time to brand the calves and get them ready to put on the hill. The kids helped a ton it is good that they are able to help out. Now that they are on the hill it really needs to warm up so that the hay will grow. It snowed today and it is the 29th of May. This is crazy weather cold and wet.

March 2011

2011-03-15T20:56:00.000-07:00

Two of my cute boys had their birthdays and AJay and I celebrated our 13Th anniversary. Broc turned 9 in February, we had a little party with his buddies at the pool, they all had a great time. We then took him to dinner at Don Pedros' and they sung Happy Birthday to him it was way cute and fun. Ashtyn's birthday was this past Monday and because AJay is working out of town we celebrated it in on Sunday. We got him a bike with training wheels, he is such a smart boy he just jumped on a went zooming around, today he said "K mom you can take off the training wheels I wanna be like Broc". He is amazing!!!
AJay and I also celebrated our 13Th wedding anniversary. I think that it is crazy that we have been married that long. I have to stop and think about it, when I do that then I can see that, yep it has been that long, otherwise it doesn't seem like it. I sure do love him tons and tons and I am so glad that he picked me to be his wife. I love being married to him.
With all of this celebrating, my new journey has not fared to well, so now I will get back to the grind stone and keep trying to do better in my eating choices. I sure craved cake and junk that I have not done to well. I guess all I can do is start again. So tomorrow I will be writing down everything that goes in my mouth and I will be visiting the gym. Spring is coming fast it is way muddy outside but it feels good to be out with the kids getting some much needed exercise outside, I love spring time. The cows are having their cute babies and I love to see them run around and enjoy the sunshine and warm weather.

February 2011

2011-02-17T19:38:00.000-08:00

February is going GREAT, I got to look at some new numbers which are encouraging because the scale is NOT my friend. Still the scale says down 4.5 pounds which is the same as last month. However, I have lost 2.5 inches at my waist, and 1 inch on my hips and 2 inches on my thigh. GREAT!!! I am so excited. Last weekend AJay and I took the horses for a ride. As I climbed up on my horse my DH said that he can see I am more flexible since I have been on my new journey, cause I could climb up on my horse easier. That is so true it felt great to be on my horse and be so comfortable. Eating better however, has not been so easy I am getting bored and not wanting to cook healthy. So I am going to make that my goal for the rest of the month.

January 2011

2011-01-27T15:38:00.000-08:00

Well, obviously I have been neglecting my blog account once again, so I guess I will update it a bit now. I can not believe how fast time flies. I decided that I needed to take time to care for myself, so that I felt like taking care of those that I need too. There are so many people who I run into throughout the day, mind you these are people whom I don't even know and they always comment, "When is your baby due." The funnest looks come upon their faces when I tell them that I am not expecting. Well, I finally decided to do something about it and I have a long road ahead of me. As of today four weeks after starting this long journey I have lost 4.5 pounds. Of course that does not sound like a lot but, I figure if I keep going at a poundish a week by the end of this year I can loose 52 pounds. I probably just set myself up for failure but here I go.

I have tried to change my diet and excercise at least 4 times a week, I told my trainer Shauna that I have only lost 4.5 pounds and asked her why. She told me that I am most likely building muscle and so I will be loosing inches that it is not only about the weight. Well wish me luck on my new journey. I am exited about this journey, I already feel like I have more energy. I will keep you posted. luv me

St George

2010-04-23T21:30:00.000-07:00

Jaycee and I took a little trip to St. George with my mom. My mom is 1st Vice President of the Utah Fireman's Assocation and she had a meeting there so we went with her. While my mom was at her meeting, Jaycee and I spent time with my Aunt and cousins. At the dinner on Saturday night we went to this guys garage and here are a few cars that Jaycee loved.

Ashtyn's 3rd Birthday

2010-04-23T21:19:00.000-07:00

In March Ashtyn turned 3 years old, it is hard to believe how fast he is growing up he is such a funny boy and very busy. We love him so much, he loves his older brothers and sister and wants to be like them and do what they do. Here are some pictures of his birthday, Grandma Kathy made his yummy cake, he loves cake. He always asks her "Grandma will you make me cakes?" Love you Ashy.

Broc's Baptism

2010-04-06T19:05:00.000-07:00

Here are some cute prictures of Broc that I took of him for his baptism. Broc was baptized by my Uncle Kent who married my sweet Aunt Dolores. He was confirmed by Grandpa Marchant. It was a great day, Broc wants to say thank you to those of you that shared his special day with him. Way to go Broc on becoming a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We are so proud of you and love you so much. Keep up the good work.

February 2010

2010-03-01T18:46:00.000-08:00

Well Feburary was fun and exciting. Riley took 5th place in divisonals this year, he wrestled 215 and did very well for his first year, he does not weigh 215 he usually wrestled 189 but his coach asked him to go up so they could have two varisty teams. He made it to the state tournament this year!! Riley was up against mostly Juniors and Seniors at the weight of 215, so even though he did not place at state I was really proud of him. I think that he liked it alot and wants to keep going. He lettered as a freshman in wrestling, Yay Riley.

February 26, 2010 was Broc's 8th birthday, we had a birthday party in the snow and he and his friends went snowmobling in the fields behind our house, they had tubes and snowboards, we ate pizza and drank hot chocolate. It was very fun.

JaNaUaRy 2010

2010-01-31T11:50:00.000-08:00

Well it is the last day of the month, so I thought I better take a few minutes and post an enrty. We went to church this morning and I wonder if Ashtyn is ever going to be nice. He finally got the picture that you only take one peice of bread and not a handful, but today he got away from me and started running through the chapel. He ran up the ramp to the front he was very loud, how embrassing for me, people are so kind and just smile. I apologize to the Eastin's for the disruption. I took him home after that and stood him in the corner all the while he is yelling "go back to church, go back to church." Maybe next week will be better.
Broc and Jaycee have been playing basketball and having a fun time doing so. They are really improving, Jaycee plays Jr Jazz and because of the way they do it here she plays on a boys team. There is her and another girl on her team. The boys are so nice to them but you can tell they get frustrated when she doesn't do it just right. But she has fun playing. Broc is pretty good at basketball and he has a fun time playing as well. Riley is wrestling still, two more weeks and it will be done. He has really improved and is getting the mat time that he needs to learn. The team has done really good this year hopefully they can take state in a couple of weeks, we will have to see. AJay is busy with the cows and enjoying it so much, we should start calving in a month or two I can't wait to see the new babies. This year will be a little different for me, he has taken the cows out to the desert so I won't get to see them everyday. Next month is Broc's 8th Birthday I can hardly believe that he is getting so old. He is a little nervous about getting baptized and I am worried that he may say no. He just does not like to do things that are out of the ordinary. (Broc says: me and jaycee laft at it.) He is referring to Ashy running through the chruch. Naughty Naughty Broc.

December 2009

2009-12-31T18:25:00.000-08:00

December was crazy and fun, but I will be glad when it is over and we can get back to business as usual. Christmas was nice, the kids were happy with their gifts and that was fun for me. I got a new computer and I am excited to start including photos again, the typing is okay but pictures make it so much better. We bought a new truck it was such a good deal we could not pass it up. The dodge was getting too many miles and we just did not want to keep fixing it. Jaycee and I will have fun driving the new ford around to horse shows and stuff.
Riley went to Florida with the wrestling team he got to spend a lot of time at Walt Disney World and places even though he got homesick he said that he enjoyed the time there, but was glad to be back home where there are mountians and snow.
Jaycee and Broc are excited for basketball to start it is fun to go and watch them play. Ashtyn is getting so big he will be three this year, my babies are growing up and I love watching them. I hope 2010 will be great but who knows we will see what happens. Happy New Year to you all!!!

November

2009-12-02T17:43:00.000-08:00

Well it is time once again to sum up the month! I often wonder where did the month go, it seems as if I was just blogging. Anyway, this month was AJay's birthday I got him tickets to Rodney Carrington and we went and seen him in concert we had a good time.
It was also Riley's 15th birthday he and I spent the day together on his birthday, we went to the 2A football state championship game then out to lunch, then to the mall. We had a great time and I most certainly loved spending the day with him. He got his driving permit, yes I said driving permit. They take the written part and then have to drive with the parents for 40 hours. He is a pretty good driver other than he gets a little nervous at times. Jaycee had a band concert that we went to she plays the clairnet she really likes it. Thanksgiving was yummy of course and it was good to see family. I love shopping with Aunt Dolores and Heidi on Black Friday, this year I let Jaycee go, she said "well I do need to know what it is all about before I get big." I guess now she knows how grouchy some people can be. Well I gotta go for now, I can't wait for Christmas!!!

Happy Holidays!!

October 2009

2009-11-05T07:44:00.000-08:00

The month of October was very annoying to say the least, all of the kids got some kind of sickness. Riley started out with the dreaded swine flu, I was real worried about him because they say if you have an under lying condition that it could be real bad, he has asthma so I took him to the health center and they gave him tamiflu and told him not to go anywhere for at least a week, I had him stay at my mom's in hopes that it would not spread to the other kids. He finally got better and went back to school. Broc then got the same thing he was home from school for about 5 days. Jaycee had some stomache bug, then Ashtyn got the croup real bad, one night his air way closed off for a second that was real scary so we went to Salt Lake to Primary Children's but by the time we drove there he had fallin asleep and I did not feel like we needed to go so we truned around and took him home, the doctor put him on more steriods and I think he finally got better. Earlier in the month Ashtyn got the stitches out of his fingers they look so good he healed real well, the best part was he did not even cry or nothing when they took them out he was such a big boy. The freshman foot ball team won all of their games for the season the boys did a great job!!! They are now ready for a break. The kids had a good fun for Halloween. Jaycee was a doctor, Broc was the scream thing, and Ashtyn was a lion. They got a ton of candy! yum.

September

2009-10-02T12:15:00.000-07:00

I know that this is the short way of writing on a blog a month at a time, but that is all I have time for right now. My computer is still on the fritz and needs some serious attention, but my life's schedule just does not allow for me time to get it fixed, I think I will put that on my priorty list so that I can add some pictures to my boring blog.
Anyway it snowed this week and it was real cold on Wednesday. I had to go be in the consession stands at the football game there was snow on the field and I was frozen by the time I got home. The Freshman team has so far won all of their games and they don't just win by a little the stomp the heck out of the teams, by half time they are so far ahead that it is boring to watch. Most of the boys have played together since they were in 3rd grade and they have always been told that they will be state champions when they are seniors. I guess playing all of those bigs kids really paid off. Riley has two games left for this season.
Jaycee rode in her last parade and rodeo in September she had a great time being the Jr Princess for Summit County. She is busy now keeping on top of her lessons and she is doing a pretty good job of it so far.
Broc is liking the second grade and enjoys everything else, he is such a good boy.
As for Ashtyn if you have not already heard, he had a run in with the blender and went spent 5 hours at the new hospital in Park City in the ER. Luckily he did not chop any of his fingers off it was just the top of one and the back of the other, no nail beds or bones were hurt. He did get 8 stitches total, I told AJay that the worst part is still to come. That is convincing Ashtyn that it is okay to take the stitches out. He has been a pretty good patient so far though. Well until next time, Happy Trails.......

August

2009-08-31T19:00:00.000-07:00

August was a crazy month, Jaycee turned 11 but she did not get to have a party at home because we spent the whole week at the Summit County Fair. Broc rode a calf at the Little Buckaroo Rodeo I think it surprised him when he got bucked off, hopefully he wants to do it again but I dodn't know if that will happen. Jaycee had fun handing out the prizes for the little sheep riders, they were so dang cute!!!! She did a wonderful job at the grand entries and being on PCTV for an interview. We took the lambs down and weighed them in, the kids done a great job with their animals and were glad to sell them. Now they can do their books and stuff to actually get their checks, I think I will let them spend a bit and save the rest for when they get older. Thanks to the New West Country Store (Vern), Webster Construction (Rusty) and Grandma and Grandpa Atkinson for buying the lambs and supporting the kids at the fair. School started and I am so glad. Broc is in 2nd, Jaycee in 6th, and Riley in 9th. Riley is playing freshman football, so it will be fun to go to the high school and watch him play.

July

2009-07-31T19:00:00.000-07:00

Whew, that was crazy!! Where should I start, the 4th of July was fun Jaycee was in two parades, one in Oakley and the other in Henefer. At the Oakley parade a girls horse died and so the parade got started late. Jaycee had fun even though it was a little warm. After the Oakley parade her horse was lame on his hind foot so we ran home and caught Sisco and took him just in case. When we got to Henefer Jacket was real lame so she had to ride Sisco in the parade, it was his first parade and they done very well. We went to the Oakley Rodeo with the Marchant Family, thanks to Bradley and Kathy for buying the tickets for us we had a fun time. Riley was working in the chutes for the Oakley Rodeo's he had a good time doing that. Riley went to a camp at Strawberry, then he went to Moab with the FFA and then to Youth Conference in Vernal, he had a good time. The kids showed their lambs at the Kamas Valley Livestock Show they did a good job for their first time. For showmanship they each got a blue ribbon, for fitting Riley got a red ribbon, and Jaycee's lamb got a blue ribbon. Jaycee rode in her first Rodeo for the Grand Entry she enjoyed that and looked way cute besides. August is going to be fun!!!!!

June

2009-06-30T19:00:00.000-07:00

Well June came and went the kids are busy with their lambs and they are growing well, it has been fun to watch them grow and watch the kids with them learning how to make them lead, a little frustrating but fun. Jaycee is the Summit County Little Buckaroo Jr Princess we are going to have so much fun going to parades and rodeos. With the lambs, rodeos, baseball, 4-H, cows, work, and whatever else we can find to do I am sure we will be ready for winter just so we can relax.

May 2009

2009-05-14T19:11:00.000-07:00

Okay, Okay... I know that I am really bad at keeping this caught up. So here is an entry for May so far. Soccer is finally over for the season, yipee!!! The kids had a good time playing and the weather was even good for all of the games, some were cold but they were dry. I had a birthday this month, sometimes I think how did I get so old. I guess that is just what happens, it was a good birthday. Broc cut me a slice of pie and used a match for a candle and he sung happy birthday to me, it was so cute. On mother's day we went to East Canyon and took the cows up there, I told AJay that since it was mother's day I was taking all the kids with us. It was a good day the kids were pretty good for the most part. Jaycee made me a cute vase at school, Broc made a cute picture with flowers on it. The kids and AJay also gave me a really nice set of ear rings with a matching necklace, I am so lucky to have them. I love you guys, thanks so much.

Today my Aunt Dolores got married at the Salt Lake Temple she married Kent Mansell. AJay and I went down to the temple and went to a lunch at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. It was very nice to see a lot of my cousins and see my dear Aunt be so happy. She has been so great with all of us that it was nice to see her smiling and knowing that she will have someone with her for time and all eternity. Congratulations Aunt Dolores and "Uncle" Kent. Sure do love you guys!!!!!

April Showers

2009-04-14T22:17:00.000-07:00

Well I thought I better write on here since it is the middle of April and I have not added anything new for almost a month. Last week the kids were out of school for spring break, I took the week off of work to be home with them. It was a fun to spend the time with them. One day I had to take them to the dentist which was not too fun for them. On Thursday we went up to Logan to my sister in laws house for "girls day" it was fun to get together with most everyone. On Saturday Jaycee, Ashtyn and I went to Walmart, the Easter Bunny was there, Jaycee wanted Ashtyn to see him, but Ashtyn would not have anything to do with him. Ashtyn cried and screamed that the Easter Bunny is mean, so you better watch out. We dyed some eggs to hide, oh how much fun was that. I like Easter it means that spring should be here, of course the weather is crazy one day it is nice and warm, next it is cold and snowing, I hope April showers means May flowers. Our little claves look so sad when they are wet and cold, hopefully they are all strong and can hold out for the sunshine. I am saving to buy a new camera so I can get some pictures on here, but it may take some time.

Fun Day

2009-03-22T21:00:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was a pretty fun day. Jaycee and I went to Salt Lake we had fun just being together. We went and got our hair cut, had lunch and brought a few outfits. It was really fun to be with my girl. She only got upset with me one time when I wouldn't spend $8.00 on a chocolate covered strawberry. I told her I could buy 3 boxes of strawberries and the chocolate for that much. She finally got over it. Riley went to the temple to do baptisms for the dead, so he was gone from home, Broc hung out with AJay and did boy stuff and Ashtyn went to grandma's and played. Today we went to church and then Riley and Jaycee went with Grandpa and Grandma Marchant to the Temple Dedication.

Spring is here and it is fun to see the new little baby animals. We have lots of new calves and a couple of little chicks. We had one cow last week have a set of twins. I broke my camera so I can't take any pictures, I am going to call and see if it is worth fixing or if I should just buy a new one. I guess we will see what happens there. Well it is getting late and I better get off to bed so I can get up to go to work.

Happy Birthday Ashtyn

2009-03-14T20:48:00.000-07:00

This is my little tiny baby "2" years ago. I can hardly believe that it has been two years. Ashtyn Jay Marchant was born March 14, 2007. I was in lobor with him forever, I didn't think that he would ever get here. He was stubborn then and he still is stubborn now imagine that. Today was Saturday and so I didn't have to work.
I love it when I don't work on their bithdays, we just hung out at home and went and visited Great Grandma next door. We bought him a litte tyrke for his birthday so he can ride with the big kids of course. He loves it so much. He got lots of presents and I made him a cute cake, all in all it was a great day. Other than I took some pictures of him earlier with my camera and I dropped it now it will not work. So I guess I am without a camera for awhile. I went and borrowed my mom's before we cut his cake so hopefully I will be able to download them. Happy Birthday to my Angel Boy Asthtyn, I love you!!!

11th Anniversay

2009-03-07T22:00:00.000-08:00

Birthday Party

2009-02-28T20:30:00.000-08:00

Broc had a birthday party at the pool with some of his buddies from school, it was way fun. He had pizza, punch, cookies and presents. They wanted to just swim they did not really care about the food they just came for the fun. That was the easiest birthday party ever and everyone had a good time. I will attach some pictures in awhile.

Happy Birthday Broc

2009-02-26T22:00:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday Broc!!!

Today is Broc's 7th Birthday, he had a very good day. I need to download some pictures and then I will be able to include them on here but for now I just wanted wish him a happy birthday. He wanted pizza for dinner so I took the day off from work and made him a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, and I made two homemade pizza's they were good and the kids loved them. He got lots of birthday presents and had a fun fun day. I am so happy that he is a part of our family, he keeps us busy and still gives me tons and of hugs and kisses. " I love you Broc, Happy Birthday, love mom"

Priesthood

2009-02-15T12:53:00.000-08:00

Today Riley was finally ordained a teacher in the priesthood. We did not attend church to often last year and so he had to wait awhile. Grandpa Marchant ordained him today in teachers quorum this afternoon, it was really nice of him to come to our church to give Riley the blessing. Grandma Marchant, Rachel, and Great Grandma Elaine were there as well. Riley and I really appreciate everyone that supports him. I am so very thankful that we have someone close to call to give him these priesthood blessings as Riley gets older. I am proud of Riley and the choices that he makes to attend his meetings and strive to live the gospel, even if I push him a little to do so. He has many examples on the Marchant side that he looks up to and it is such a blessing to me that they are there to be an example. Riley is such a good boy and I love him so much I can hardly believe that he is fourteen. I hope that he chooses to stay close to his Heavenly Father so that he can always have the priesthood in his life. Keep up the good work son in all that you do and remember what I always say, remember who you and and where you came from.

Happy Valentines Day

2009-02-14T18:55:00.000-08:00

I had a really nice Valentine's Day, because it was on Saturday this year it was great and did not feel rushed to get things done for my family. I stayed home with the AJay and the kids most of the day. The kids done their chores which I really appreciated. For breakfast I made them waffles, with strawberry syrup and whipped cream, eggs and bacon, it was way yummy. For dinner I made filet mignon, shrimp, king crab legs, roll, baked potato and broccoli, and for a special treat I dipped strawberries in chocolate, for the kids and I. AJay got a plate of rice krispy treats, cause he doesn't care for chocolate. I am sure I will pay for all of the calories later but it tasted so good. I love my family so much and I was glad that I had the whole day to be with them and told each one of them that I wanted them to be my Valentine. Here are some pictures of the meals that I made.....

Happy Valentines Day to everyone, hopefully it was enjoyable for you all.

Utah State Jr High Wrestling Tournament

2009-02-04T13:17:00.000-08:00

Last weekend, Riley, my dad and I went to Richfield to the Jr. High School State Wrestling Tournament. Riley started wrestling about a month ago and has learned quite alot. He has improved a great deal, he did not do very well at the state tournament, but at least he went. Riley's football coach wanted him to wrestle and do other things during the year to stay in shape and improve his body strength for football. So the wrestling coach talked him into wrestling, it is a tough sport and I just encourge him to keep at it. I am so proud of him for giving it a good shot and going up against all those kids, most of which has been wrestling since they were tiny. Keep up the good work and keep trying.

Retirement Party

Today was quite the day at work, we had a retirement party for my boss Judge Lynn Sadler retired today. We had an open house for him and many people attended. When it was over and he was getting ready to leave the Justice Center it was bitter sweet. I am going to miss him so much. He is a very kind and understanding person and an Awesome Judge. Good luck to him, his wife and family.

We don't have a new judge yet though so things are going to be a little hecktic until they find someone to fill his spot. We will be using fill in judges for a while. It is going to be really crazy.

January update

Well it is the middle part of January 2009. I am still trying to get things done at home. I guess it is an on going project a work in progress. We lost another dog this past week. On mother border collie Missy got ran over. It was a sad time once again at our house, silly dog just went out in the road in the middle of the night. We still have one of her pups her name is Sage she is a good dog, we do miss our other dogs though. Jaycee told me that she wanted to move that she did not want to live near the highway anymore, but I told her that we had to live here and we just need to think about the good times with our good dogs.

Riley has been wrestling he is pretty tough. He started a couple of weeks ago even though the season is nearly over. He is having a good time and can't wait to learn enough moves that he can actually pin someone. His coach says he is going to be really good if he just stays with it. His football coach is real happy to see him out there. State is the end of January in Richfield so we will be going down there to attend.

Jaycee had her first basketball game today she had a real good time out there, she likes basket ball. Broc and Ashtyn are having fun watching the kids in their sports. Maybe they are learning lots of stuff for when they are old enough. Well that is about all that is going on around here. Hope all is going well for everyone.

Cold, Snow, and Sports

Well it is snowing again, but I will take the snow over the bitter cold any day. This past weekend it was 18 below that is way cold and it cuts right through you. Broc has been having tons of fun on his sled he plays and plays with it. He and Jaycee went over to my consins house and they pulled them behind the snowmobile and had a good time. Ashy says the snow is to cold for him, he likes to touch it for a minute, but then his hand gets to cold and he doesn't like it to much. Jaycee is starting Jr Jazz this week she is looking forward to using the skills that Aunt Ali taught her at basketball camp. She will be way good. Broc can not wait til he is old enough to play. Riley has been wrestling and he is enjoying it, but I am not sure why. He thinks that it is fun, I guess it keeps him in shape for his number one love (football)!!!!

From: Broc is having fun at school with his friends that are Ethan S., Hunter A. and Malaki C. Broc is way excited for his seventh birthday which is February 26th. jghjgj by Broc ;)

January 2008

I have decided to try the blogspot instead of the free webs. I see how most people use blogspot and I like the way that it looks. I am going to see of I can transfer my other blog materials to this site and close the other one. Today I have been cleaning up a huge mess that has just been taking over my dining area. Our house is a little small for us and so tons of things just get put in a pile and over the time the pile has just grown out of control. I decided that with the new year strarting that it is a good as time to tackle this project. I am so scared to throw away anything just on the chance that I might need it, but here I go. I vist the Flylady website a lot and I need to take her advice and hope it will make our home life a little brighter. I wish I had tons of time to devote on my house, but I guess a little time each day is better than nothing. I started painting our living room last November I have many projects at home going all at one time, I must be crazy. Wish me luck it my new tasks.
