WOW

So it has been a really long time.....

One of my goals for the New Year is

to try and post here at least a few times a month.

I feel like this past year has been one of the hardest,

yet rewarding times of my life. I feel like I am a

in a better place, and at peace with myself.

Not to say there are thing's that I would like to

improve on. There is always room to improve.

So as far as things we have been up to...

Tilisa is in fourth grade and loving it! She loves

school. She loves to learn and she loves researching

new things, she loves technology, and reading.

We found out that she is blind as a bat...lol! So she

is now wearing some stylin new glasses! She is still

taking piano with a new teacher that we love! She had her

piano recital this past fall and did a great job.

She also was is in her elementary choir and there Christmas

concert was awesome.

Shannan is in first grade and she is doing great.

She loves her teacher and on her last report

card she earned all A's.

She is so much like my mom (her namesake)

I cannot believe it at times.

She loves to laugh, and tease, but not like

to be teased. She wants to start piano and

soccer this year so we will see.

Shannan lost her two front teeth right

before Thanksgiving so she is still praying

she will soon get them back!!

Ana is youngest and the craziest of our girls.

She always has something to say that is funny

and very quick I must say. Some of the things that

come out of her mouth shock me, amaze me, and

make me sometimes want to put a whole bar of soap in

her mouth....LOL!! Ana is in kindergarten and she

can't get enough of it, the social part of it that is.

She cannot wait to get to school every day to be with her

friends. The winter break has been torture for her!!

Ana loves to laugh, dance and just be a goof ball!!

This past year I have realized how precious

the time is I have with my girls. Each day I hope that

I am giving them my best. I love them so much and I

am so thankful that my Heavenly Father has given

me my girls. I don't know what I would be without them.

I am working full time as a graveyard PBX operator.

It has been a huge struggle since I have always

only worked part time. I feel like a zombie 99.9%

of the time, but I try to be as normal as possible.

I don't think people quite understand what it's like to

work grave yards, and be a mom, at the time.

I keep telling Loni I can't wait until August when

all three girls will be full time in school. Then I can

Sleep!! I can make it through the next 8 months.

This next year I really want to focus on finding

balance. Sometimes, well most of the time I sit and

wonder where the day went. I am trying to be more

organized. I want to be better with our finances, and

of coarse I want to continue losing weight. Those are my

top goals for this year, and of coarse keeping up with our blog.

I hope all of you have a Awesome 2011!!

This is my year!!!

Here is to finding BALANCE!!!
