You Can't Go Back Now

Music Playlist at MixPod.com

Lately I've been tired. Exhausted to be more exact.

My days are busy and my life seems so out of control at times.

I wonder, how did I end up here?

A house full of kids, a sink full of dishes, a calendar full of events, work responsibilities, church callings, the list never ends.

I find myself day dreaming of sunny days and white sandy beaches.

I often think of how easy life was before I joined the ranks of motherhood.

How Eric and I used to have things to talk about, other than the logistics of getting to a soccer game, or what time is practice?

It seems that these days we are in the trenches of parenting. We are busy. We are tired. We are parents.

The words of this song ring true. It doesn't matter......You Can't Go Back Now......

And despite the exhaustion.

I don't want to. I really don't.

I love being a mom.

So for that reason, I will walk on.

But, if for some reason, I come up missing.

Don't check the beach ;)

So Long 2009!!

2009 has been good to us. We are all healthy and happy and have enjoyed a year of fun together. Every year to celebrate the New Year, we spend time in West Yellowstone with my Aunt Becky and Uncle James. It was cold as usual and Tay was sporting an extra warm hat to keep his ears warm. This picture cracks me up. He looks like he is sporting an 80's mullet gone wrong!
It's not a trip to the cabin without some snowmobiling and sledding. The kids had lots of fun playing together in the snow.
And of course......the real reason we make the drive to Yellowstone in snowy weather:) Thanks Becky and James for spoiling us rotten with these enormous crab legs. YUMMY! So long 2009...hello 2010.
