New Year's Resolutions

I am getting my New Year's Resolutions done early to avoid the rush. In no particular order, here they are:

1. I will stop using hyperbole when I speak. I mean, I do it, like, a million times a day.

2. I will once and for all find out if "gotten" is really even a word.

3. If "gotten" is really a word, I resolve not to use it because I don't think it should be a word.

4. I will stop eating sugar, which is going to be really hard since I recently discovered heaven in powdered form

5. I will get back to running. Along with the no sugar thing, I will be a SPECIMEN OF GREAT HEALTH

6. I will delegate more of the cleaning to my children. Kyle mopped the living room today of his own accord. And liked it.

If done correctly, I figure 2008 will turn me into one hot babe with impeccable grammar and a clean house.

Stocking Stuffer Guilt

I bought a six-pack of Reese's Peanut Butter Trees for the kids' stockings. I only have 4 kids so hey, someone has to eat the two extra trees, right? So what happens if you eat, say, three of the trees? You have to buy a whole new pack since you no longer have enough to put in four stockings. So now you have six new trees(four needed for the stockings) and three left over from the first pack. What is a mom to do?

Pictures

So I decided on a picture for Scott's Christmas present. I cropped the pic a little so he and Nat are not in the center anymore and I can see some of the tree. I got black and white AND color because I couldn't decide :>)

Here it is:


and color:

I love this.

I took this picture of N while we were in Kansas. I love it because her smile is so natural. She just looks so cute! I got an 8x10 of it so I can finally start hanging pictures in my house. We have been here three years and I have 1 picture up on the wall! Yikes!

Photography is something I have always loved. Visiting The Pioneer Woman's blog has made me not a little envious of her camera. I think I need an SLR camera :>) So if you don't know what to get me for Christmas, this will do.

How about this one?

Okay I zoomed into the pic a little. I like it but the anal part of me is going crazy that the whole fishing pole isn't in the picture, LOL Is that too anal?



Oh, I just realized the color is different too. I will have to adjust that.
