WELCOME 2010!!!!!!!!!!

So this is going to be the best year yet. TJ is back out working at the power plant full time, money is good, you know to at least pay bills!

The baby is growing fast and our kids are all meshing well now. They are actually looking forward to seeing each other again.instead of scared of each or mean to each other.The girls adapt so well now when they come. they look forward to Sundays and going to church. there favorite thing to say to each other is "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit." and for the most part they don't throw fits any more. maybe once every few months. there are some nights our kids will sit at the dinner table for 2 hours after everyone is done until there food is all gone. but it doesn't take long for kids to figure out if they want to play they need to eat at the allotted time.

we are working hard on being very consistent in everything from schedules to eating times to night times and discipline. I think that's whats helping everything run so smooth here.

kids adapt well to consistency and they are more calm and loving to each other and us.

so we are looking forward to the 2010 year.

We are just waiting for the few final step and we are headed to the temple to get sealed! we got to bypass some stuff since things got over complicated, the stake president said press forward thing got out of hand. so he wrote his statement and we moved on, some things i am not meant to understand in this life. But the bishop assured me its OK. we are not supposed and everything happens in it own due time.

we have set some pretty efficient goals for the 2010 years. we are wanting to finish our food storage for our family we are about half way there which is alot considering there are 7 of us to cover.

We are obviously going to get sealed and we are working on other things more personal and private. all i can say is the more we got to the temple together the better our relationship keeps getting and the more we take time to do family home evening the more our kids are learning about the gospel. and according the the family: a proclamation to the world that is our obligation. husbands and wives had a responsibility to raise our kids in righteousness and the scary part. is we will be held accountable for not doing it. so we are taking that more serious then ever.

So that's our 2010 start.

we where talking on the way home from a long drive and my husband said "this is the best he has ever had it" translate that however but it was a touching moment. I agree this is one of the best times in my life also. being a mom is all i wanted and Tj is a great dad. He really does love his kids so much. I know because every prayer includes them each and every one.
