Way to be Emmy!

Emmy was Student of the Month for December which is the month of [caring].

Notice anything funny about this picture?We realized after I took the picture, but don't worry she really was student of the month and she did get her certificate with her name on it soon after this picture.

Dear blog & followers,

I am so sorry for neglecting you. I have been busy focusing on my project 365, distracted by Facebook, too lazy to get pictures off of my camera and feeling like life around here is slightly lackluster. I realize these are just excuses, but true none the less. Perhaps tomorrow after I clean up, visiting teachers come, go grocery shopping and Activity Days I will have the energy and motivation to take some pictures of some things and post some things on here. That or take a nap. We will see.

When you are on the Computer....

...and the kids are quiet.

it usually means [trouble]

[usually]

but not today

today it was this...

I think this makes up for all of the screaming she has been doing lately. Well, almost.

Edited 5 minutes later:

The [stars] must be aligned

look what else I found...

The Last Week

Lots of sleeping in [the past 2 school days included]

Guitar Hero [Happy early birthday to me]

Kids back to school

*yay for schedule/routine/normal life*

Late night trip to Bahama Bucks [brrrrr]

Sick and tired kids [can you say cranky]

Took Christmas down and put new Christmas tree up
*had to make sure it was going to work while I can still take it back*

Set some [goals/resolutions] for {2009}
learn to take better pictures
read the Ensign every month
exercise more (very vague and very attainable)
Eat healthy{er}-reduce dependency on sugar, eat more vegetables, make a meal plan for dinners, less fried foods..I could go on and on

be more positive, less judgmental, have more hope

P.S. Blogger is being very tempremental and not formatting this the way I want it!

Movie Website

I found out about this website and it is great to help decide if you or your kids should see certain movies or not and why it is rated what it is rated. It breaks down all of the sexuality, violence, language etc. so you know exactly what it has in the movie. I think it is great and very detailed. We all know standards are not what they used to be, but this site has actually tightened it's standards in how it reviews the movies. Just another tool for us parents!

Last Christmas Party

I can finally put away my Christmas wrapping paper because we had the Williamson family Christmas party last night. We had lots of good eats and fun!

The kids exchanged gifts

The adults had a gift exchange white elephant style

Kids talent show

Here is a video of the girls very own choreographed performance. Seriously watch the whole thing it is hilarious!

In the past couple of days there has also been 4 wheeling (which I did not attend) and an adult only dinner @ Chiles. We've been having fun and the kids are really enjoying spending time with their cousins.
