I have'nt put any new pictures on this computer, but I thought I would write an update anyway. Things here are plugging along. We have been struggling with colds/sinus infections for a while now. It just seems to keep circling through. I am proud to say that so far I have been doing well with my new goals. I have part of the basement preped and ready to paint. I plan on starting with my sewing room on Monday.
Jason is doing well at work. He gets to work out 2 times a week during work and gets paid for it, so he is still maintaining strength and improving his health. Being the membership clerk is frustrating, but he does his best to keep up.
Caleb is doing well at school. They are getting ready for the Utah program next week. He got to watch the inaguration of our new president on Tuesday and thought that was pretty neat. He is growing up so fast. He is working hard in scouts.
Trever is such a smarty pants. He is well on his way to reading. He does really well in school. He still has his challenges, but don't we all. He is a great helper with Caleb's dog. He absolutely loves the x box, and gameboys. It is a challenge to limit his time on them.
Joseph is doing well in preschool. We are all so glad he is potty trained now, and doing so well with it. He still likes to be momma's baby sometimes, so I get lots of hugs and wet kisses. (that kid has trouble keeping his tongue in his mouth and swallowing his spit) EWWWwwwww how sweet. : )
We are all feeling a little sad to not have a baby in the house. We all miss Kamden and Cami. We hope to get a little girl soon. Keep praying for us.
Well, I guess that about covers the main points right now. Hope you all are doing well, and that warmer weather is coming soon.

New Year
Ok, I have never been really big on New year resolutions... I have no follow through. I was feeling a little stagnant yesterday so I wrote down a few things I want to accomplish this year. Maybe you all can come help.
I am going to paint the entire basement (apt side and all). The celing needs done upstairs, but I just don't think I have it in me, not even just to write it down. You all know how decorating challenged I am so I need ideas on color. I am also going to use my new surger to sew curtains for the entire basement (4 lg windows). Again color suggestions will be welcome. Trever needs a big person sized quilt for his bed. The baby ones just aren't following his body as he rolls in the big bed.
So I have several sewing projects to do. I also make hooded towels now, and I want to try to sell them this year. Those of you who I have made towels for your kids, if people admire them, tell them where they can buy them for a decent price.
The boys are getting older and just don't need my constant attention like they used to so I want to be productive this year. We were thinking of hiring someone to do the painting, but we decided to save the money and try to get a new truck and a camping trailer this year. We would love to take a big vacation each year but with Jason's health it is sometimes hard to rack up enough hours to get away. We can however take more advantage of his every other friday off and take small camping trips with the kids. So that is the goal. Have more fun this year and less serious, never go anywhere work. We'll see what happens.
I always say I want to be more healthy, but I really really need to loose some weight. So I am starting out small. For the first three months this year my goals are to only drink diet when I have a soda. (Diet Mt. dew isn't too bad.) Walk the dog at least 5 nights a week. And continue my endevors to have balanced, somewhat healthy meals. After a couple of months I will try to add a few more goals. I do want to be successful and I know if I try to go too fast I will just bag the whole thing.
So I will keep pleanty of paint brushes on hand for you all. : ) And I anxiously look forward to hearing some good color suggestions.
Happy new year everyone. Let me know your goals this year.
