The Big Kahuna turned 40!

Jason turned 40 on April 11, 2013.  Yep.  These pictures have been in cyberspace for a long time.....At least you can now see how much fun we had.  It was going to be a surprise, but in the end, I just invited people to come and we had a great time!  Happy (very late) 40th Birthday!

So, now we are in March and I haven't posted once.  Nice try on the New Years Resolution!
But, having said that, there has been a lot going on.
We are moving our home based business, Day Violins, to a new location...OUTSIDE of our basement!  It is a scary and exciting and stressful and very time consuming endeavor!
Also, a year ago, I was asked to help with Mormon Prom for our stake.  It is a year-long project, taking all my free time and energy.
The Relief Society presidency work has also taken up a lot of time.  So many meetings and being in charge of the monthly meetings.....I never went before because I was so busy, now I am making time to be there.
And, we got a dog....It's a whole entire story about how he came into our lives.
So, patience with me, please!  My goal is to catch up and stay on top of it all!  Just having a few hiccups along the way!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014

I have a really difficult New Year's Resolution this year...one of the hardest I have ever made.
It won't be easy to keep, but I know that going in.
I am going to start saying "NO" to requests.
For me, it is a big thing.
I overbooked myself last year.
I let important things slide.
I wore myself out and was grouchy at myself and my family.
I stopped exercising.
Just stuff like that that cannot happen again.
I need time for myself and my family to be organized and ready to take on the world.
My kids are growing up too fast and I don't want to miss it.
I also am going to start blogging again.  I need to take the time to document what is happening in our family.  I cannot be too busy for that.
So, here I go on my new adventure!
Some of the posts are going to be "catch up" posts with not a lot of great writing, but I need to get back on track and caught up.
So, a very Happy New Year to everyone!
I can't wait to see more of you!
