I just get TIRED of blogging sometimes...

Hey Everyone!!
How's it going? We are all still here, and still alive. Happy Late New Year! It feels like this is going to be a very good year. It was exciting to be able to set some goals and start fresh on all the things I had lost track of. I'll talk more about that in a minute. But FIRST...

Grandma and Grandpa Churchill invited the "local" grandkids over on New Year's Eve for a slumber party. Talk about FUN! We only wish ALL the cousins could have been there to help drive Papa crazy. They all did very well, (Owyn and Cole didn't stay the night,) and behaved like angels. I'm thinking Grandma and Grandpa might make a tradition out of this. Yikes!

Our little Cole Bug turned the big 2! (He's been acting like a two-year-old for quite a while now. Maybe now that he's two he will realize the "terrible twos" are overrated and start acting like an angel again.) He melts our hearts, and he knows how to turn the charm on to get away with anything. We will keep him around.

Aunt Tara was nice enough to make Cole's birthday cake! Cole calls it a "Doot Doot Wayne!" He loved it and it tasted so yummy! Thank you, Tara!!

These two sweet kids are best friends. They love to help in the kitchen. Cole copies everything that Noah does. It starts to get on Noah's nerves, but he understands that it's only because Cole wants to be like his cool big brother.

It's so nice to start a new year and feel like you aren't already behind somehow. What are some of the goals you have set? I'll share a couple of mine, if you want to know! One of my goals this year is to read at least 2 books a month. One will be for self-improvement. (motivational/inspirational/non-fiction stuff,) and the other one will be good ol' fashioned fiction/classics/easy reading. If you have any recommendations for either of these categories, I'm all ears!!

Anyway, my other goal is to feed my family better meals. (Or should I say MEALS. Period.) I want to introduce them to new foods and try out new recipes. SO, again, if you have anything you would like to share with me, hit me! I would LOVE to hear about good recipes you've tried.

There you have it. I will try to do better about posting so our family and friends don't miss the boys growing up. I'm taking a Geology class at the college here. So far I really like it. It's been a long time coming, but I'm finally finishing my degree. It feels really good to know that all the time I've spent at this school will finally be applied to something.

Also, Kari Ann and I are taking a Yoga/Pilates class together at the college. Kari Ann could be teaching the class! I, on the other hand, am the one who can't even touch my toes!! I'm excited to see how it goes.

Nathan is doing great... the boys adore him, and I'm amazed by the things he can accomplish at home and at work. He got called to be a Ward Missionary, and couldn't be more thrilled.

There's our update. Thanks for checking in. I will do better!!

Happy Weekend, Everyone!!
