Happy New Year!

We had a great time this year. Friday we had planned on going to the rodeo but the weather was so bad we didn't feel like driving that far so we ended up taking the kids swimming instead. Shayna has become such a good swimmer. She can flip from swimming to her back with no problem. Britton on the other hand needs some work. We have tried so hard to get him swimming but so far he just isn't interested. He would rather goof off in the shallow end then have to excert any energy in actually swimming. It's quite annoying but what do ya do?
Jordan and Kolay were in town and got to spend several nights with us. It was so much fun getting to spend that much time with them and getting to know Kolay even better. It's a good feeling having Family members that you truly enjoy being around and Kolay and I have so much in common it's scary. Even if I am waaaay older then her!
For New Years Eve Jordan and Kolay spent the night with Jim and Merilyn (Ty and Jordans parents) so it was just us and the kids to celebrate the New Year. This year the kids were actually able to stay awake until Midnight. This was the first time ever. Tyler and I struggled but we had already had a lot of late nights. We made it though and rang in the New Year in style. (not really)
The kids played on the Wii and I laid on the couch until it was time for the count down.


Tyler and the kids laid on the couch and watched the ball drop while I took pictures and recorded the whole thing.

Shortly after that we could hear a bunch of fireworks so we ran upstairs and looked out the window and we could see the golf course's fire works so we sat and watched that for a couple of minutes and then we were off to bed. We all made it to 12:15. I don't think the kids have ever fallen asleep so fast. New Years is not my most favorite holiday so as exciting as it wasn't, I thought it was perfect!
Jordan had a soccer tournament over the weekend so we spent all day Saturday hanging out with Family and watching the games. Jordan and Kolay came back to our house for the night so we could spend a little more time together before they had to head back to Iowa. We were really sad to see them go but we will try our hardest to visit them often.
Now it's back to work and the kids are back to school and I am so sad. I would so much rather spend everyday at home and never have to have the kids go to school. That would be the life.
Did anybody make a New Years resolution. If so tell me all about it. I didn't make one, I chose not to disappoint myself :)
