The Holidays:)

Well Christmas was wonderful. The kids were so excited when they saw that Santa left them all kinds goodies. We later went to my moms to open gifts and to enjoy a yummy meal. Its the first time we've ever had it at moms because we usually have it at my grandmothers. She Passed a way a couple of months ago so this yr. We started a new tradition of having it at moms. We all enjoyed ourselves. I'm looking forward to many many more christmas's there. Later on that Evening we went to Tammy's and Ma's. We had a good time there enjoy each others company and having another good meal. I'm happy to say that I didn't gain ANY weight during the holidays. I'm so excited to be in a size 5/6 pants. I don't won't to get any smaller, just need to maintain now.

I took down all my Christmas decorations 2 days after Christmas. Usually its the day after but I had plans that day. Got my home cleaned up from top till bottom. I love that when people come over they are shocked that my house is so clean because I have 3 boys. A woman's home reflects upon her. I make my kids clean up there own room except Cason. He's too little to understand :) Christopher was cleaning when he was 2. I think parents go wrong when they are constantly picking up after their kids. A child needs to learn how to pick up after her or himself and not rely mommy to do it all the time.

I'm looking forward for what 2010 has in store for me. I hope and pray that it is a wonderful year. We are going to the Sebourns for a New Years Eve party. I love being around my Christian Family:) I know that I need to surround myself with Godly people or I could fall short. Like the bible says Bad Company Corrupts Good Morals. Its funny sometimes I feels as if the old Amanda is having war with the Christian Amanda. Does that make sense? I hope at all times the Christian Amanda comes out but sometimes my old ways peek out. I hope to always do right and if not I hope to make things right if I do fall short. I know we all will fall short in life but we need to have the strength to pull ourselves up and look to God to help us.

I can't wait till Summer. I'm so looking forward to soaking up the sun in my pool. WE got a pool last yr and didn't get to enjoy it as long. It took the guys 2 wks to build the deck. Afterwards we were able to enjoy it on the really hot days. Our Summer was different. It was the coolest Summer I've think we've had in a long time. Hopefully this Summer it will be really hot. I don't like cold water. The pool temp is best at 80 degrees. I'm hoping to get a solar cover to keep the pool warm. My husbands tells me I'm spoiled but yet he keeps on spoiling me :) I have everything here I could ever want and my husband is the reason. I'm so thankful for a husband who provides for us. Most of all I'm thankful for the blessings the Lord has given us.
