This is crazy pathetic! I vowed last year about the same time I was going to be more faithful add pictures and all of that and here I am one year later. I really do want to be more faithful in keeping this blog current if for no other reason that I haven't been journalling faithfully for years and maybe I can find a way to preserve this so that my kids will have something of me when I am gone. This last year has been probably the longest of my life. I have been struggling with lots of heath issues and trying at the same time still be a good mom and wife. Chad is still at his same job and doing great. He is still a rock star of a hubby! I struck gold when I found him. Our kiddos are growing up and changing so much. I will add some pics here soon. Two are in Utah. Jeremy will be home from his mission in Mexico in 6 months (silent scream of excitement) Janice, Rose and Kimmi are attending Ontario High School and loving it there. Anna is 12 this year and is in the 5th grade. Levi is in second grade and is an amazing reader!! Ellie is 5 going on 20. The word diva comes to mind when thinking of her. Max is 3 and he is my sweet cuddle bug! But he has a hollow leg and can sniff out candy no matter where it is hidden. Addie turned 2 in December and I have to admit its harder than I thought and seeing her so big. She is has personality that radiates warmth and sunshine. She is rarely unhappy but when she is look out! I couldn't be more lucky. Hopefully this year I will do better with recording those moments that are important.
