amazing people, amazing opportunity

That's what friends do.

I am stealing the already stolen post from my good friend Geri who is way cooler and thought to do this first.  :)

Please click the link above and read about these two incredible families and then go check out the super cute items at Likely's Etsy Shop.

I too have been blessed to know these two ladies.  Jennilyn is always willing to help and serve.  She is a person you can always count on to lift your spirits.  Caitlin is an amazing secretary in my YW presidency and I think I would forget everything if she was not around.  She loves those girls so much.  She is great mom and such a strong woman.

almost February finally

January...The New Year's resolutions are already out the window...looking forward to getting onto February now...Anna is 11 1/2 months and I can't believe it!  She stands well, no steps yet, eats big people food, plays with her brothers ( Christian was chasing her around last night crawling, she would crawl then look back and see Christian coming and scream and laugh then start crawling away again really fast, so funny.)  We all had the stomach flu (except me miraculously) as it passed through our house. Jack performed as an Arabian dancer in his little Pre-K production of the Nutcracker.  That is about all my exciting news.  :)

 

Atlantic City

I got to go to one last dance convention last weekend in Atlantic City, New Jersey.  It was The Pulse and has such celebrity faculty as Mia Michaels, Brian Friedman, Cris Judd, LaurieAnn Gibson, Desmond Richardson, Dave Scott, and Sonya Tayek.  I got to take class with most of these awesome choreographers over two days.  It was a lot of fun.  I met a couple of really fun people.  I got some really cute Nappytabs sweats and shorts.  And Matt and I went on a date and lost a little bit of much.  Very little.  Slots aren't that fun.  Anyway, it was an unforgettable weekend.  I hugged Mia Michaels!  Anyway...

Mia Michaels at the luncheon.  I did get a picture with her but it is on someone else's camera.

Fun times!

oh man...

There has been so much that its too much. 

We took family pictures in December with the whole family.  Here are my three.

Christmas was nice, but, Anna was sick, fever/cold, and Jack was just getting over pneumonia.  Otherwise very fun visiting with family from far away and celebrating.

 New Years was fun.  Matt and I went to our first grown-up party and had a great time.  Then went to watch the countdown at home with the fam. 

 

So far 2010 has been more sickness.  We've got some stomach bug that has been making the rounds around ours and other families homes that we know.  So far its hit three of us, Jack, Anna, and now Matt.  I am hoping that is where it ends.    
Otherwise things are good.  We have a home.  We are together as a family.  We know our loved ones our safe.  I don't think I can complain about too much else when I am that blessed.
