New Year 2012

This is the third year that we have spent NY Eve with the Jefferies Family! We have such a good time with them and feel lucky to have such great friends. We are very low key these days, so a quiet night, at home with friends is just what we needed! We brought the Wii over to play Family Feud (Girls vs Boys) Well that was a bust, but Trenton and Drew had a great time playing! We have a lot of new things to look forward to in 2012. I am not one to make resolutions, but I would like to make some changes to the way things are done around our house! I have started getting up earlier so I can be ready before the boys get up. This is hard for me because I am not a morning person. I am trying to keep the house picked up and do a load of laundry every other day so that it doesn’t pile up on me. I am trying to listen first and react last to the boys. My procrastination and ability to run late ALL of the time, makes my attitude and the boys attitude less than great most of the time. I want to take more time for the boys and Gene. I know I can do all of these things and to most sound minimal, but I let work come first and forget to enjoy my life most of the time! Trenton starts real t-ball this year in addition to Gene’s season. We are going to be very busy, but what else is new!

Typical family picture these days! NY 1

This little sweet heart never seizes to amaze me. He is so goofy and I cannot believe how well he keeps up with Trenton. NY 2
