~Happy New Year~

Happy New Year's!!! Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday and fun ringing in the New Year. 2009 was a rough year, especially for our economy....but I think we have all learned from this rough year. I know that if I have learned anything, it is that the the Lord is my provider. I have learned to be more content and that HE is all I need. I've also learned that when God wants to get his point across...HE WILL! Sometimes we have to learn the hard way. God is good and I am blessed. Goodbye 2009~

2010 started off at our house with Dax, me and 9 little girls. Camden Hope had a New Year's slumber party. We had 7 beautiful little girls from her school and Berkleigh held her own with them all night long.There was alot of giggling, squealing, snacking, chatting and all around fun! We had our official countdown at 9 pm and all were asleep around 10:30. Not too shabby~ It was a blast!






So it's that time of year again when we make our New Year's Resolutions. Most of the time I don't recall what last years were. Isn't that sad? I mean I always do the standard....get in better shape, eat healthier, drink more water and stick to my daily devotions. Which each year I can definitely work a little harder on that. So this year I am writing a list and plan on checking them off throughout the year. Therefore...my 1st resolution is to stick to my resolutions! No really. If I get 2 months down the road and realize that I haven't followed through, I am going to start where I stopped!

Here is a list of our family resolutions. I asked Camden this year what hers would be and I was quite impressed!
