We made it through the Holidays. It was fast and furious as usual. It's so sad that I wait all year for the Holidays and it goes by so quickly. We were all spoiled by Santa this year. We are very lucky. We spent Christmas morning at my parents house, then up to my Aunts for dinner, and then over to Prineville to spend with Jordan's entire family. It was very busy, but very fun. Austyn was still too little to understand or even get into the presents, but next year will be so much fun. One of Austyn's more unique gifts, was from Uncle Chad and Aunt Kati, they made her a Ham Hauler. It is so cute. We can't keep her out of it.
It was so adorable pulling her around
behind the 4-wheeler. Not too many
kids have anything like this. What a lucky girl.

We made it through New Years as well. No big partying for us. Jordan worked and I had to work to stay up and watch the ball drop. I woke up to the count down, and then quickly went back to sleep. Oh how I love our simple life :) I love making resolutions for the New Year. It always seems like a reset button for me. I think I did pretty good on my last years resolutions. Here are some of this years:
- Get started on building a house. Maybe get the driveway and pad done, power & well put in, shop???
- Cook and bake more
- Learn to sew. I got a sewing machine for Christmas and tried to thread the thread and I quickly figured out that my sewing career may be over. Somebody HELP!
- Get healthy. I hate saying lose weight for a New Years resolution, everyone says that, but I want to feel good about my body, I don't care what I weigh.
- Keep being the best wife and mother I can possibly be.
- ??? this one is a surprise ???
Austyn has been getting 4 molars and now adding the bottom canines. 6 OF THE MOST PAINFUL TEETH ALL AT ONCE. I'll say no more!!!!! She is also blessing us with on and off colds and ear infections. But with all that some how she still manages to be an amazing little girl. Just today we were driving in the car and she was just talking to herself or us (who really knows) and I almost got teary eyed and told Jordan she melts my heart. She's getting to be so much fun.
Jordan and I are great. Enjoying life and looking forward to what 2012 brings us. I hope it will be as great as 2011 has been to us. It could be a busy year. And you know how we love busy!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years!
