New Year's Resolution

1. Get organized (list includes, meal planning, shelves cleaned off, etc.)
2. Lose weight (start new diet and ruin it by 5:00)
3. Read my scriptures, say my prayers (every night)
4. Make more entries on the blog (I thought that Sunday would be a good day to wrap up the week, me trying to be organized.)
I just got home from work tonight. Usually, it's around 10 on Tuesdays, that I end up walking in the door, which I actually prefer as compared to chopping up my work days into little segments like when I was working after I had Layla. James informed me that Avery has gotten serious about potty training herself. He said he handed her a pull-up and told her to change into her jammies and she is doing it. It's pretty amazing that the Avery is two and is potty trained and dressing herself. Harley still can't get dressed on his own. James claims it is because he has a huge head and it's too hard to pull his shirts on and off.
Layla called me today at work to ask if she could have Presley over to do homework with her after school. I thought it was hillarious that 1. she could actually call me 2. that she was using the homework as an excuse to have friends over. She thinks she's a teenager or something and she's 5.
Harley's ride to school had to call and inform me of what Harley had said to him so that he would not forget. Apparently Harley was having a conversation with Chris (Shea's dad) on the way to preschool and after about the 4th or 5th question, Harley mumbled something from the back seat that goes something like this,"This is why I like it when Jessie takes me to school. She doesn't ask me any questions". Who says that?
Everyday I come home from work, if the kids are awake, I get a huge freakout homecoming. I love it. Avery always says"Mommy, miss you" and gives me a huge kiss, mouth open of course. She is our only child that loves to cuddle, kinda like one of those lap dogs that quietly follows you around. She wants you to hold her all the time and I don't really mind cause she weighs about 18 pounds. Lately I can't get enough of her. She's at such a fun age where everything she does is cute. Who can resist those dimples?
This past weekend, James took the ym to brianhead and I thought it would be a good weekend for me to get out of town with the kids. We surprised nanna and flew her to California to spend time with her grandkids and get some sun. It was a really fun weekend of swimming, Disneyland and the beach. The weather was perfect and I never had to put the kids in time out. I just decided to let them plan where and when that weekend and it worked out great. I thought it was pretty funny that when I asked Harley if he wanted to go to Disneyland, he responded,"Do they have a swimming pool?" I guess they missed being in the pool all the time. I definitly have some Vegas kids.
