New Year, New Goals

Ok, I think it's pretty safe to say that I STINK at keeping a blog. I have this overwhelming feeling like I have to be really creative and clever. I'm not a great writer and our lives are anything from exciting (or creative or clever). We just live each day trying to make it through to the next one. We have our trials to deal with (like any other family), but we manage to make it through each one and strive to learn the lesson that was supposed to come with it.

Our kids aren't perfect (shocker, I know) but I love them both with all of my heart. I wouldn't want perfect kids. I love the challenges that they each give me every day. It's what makes my life interesting and NEVER boring. I love that they both are very passionate about certain things. Tanner will never give up soccer (unless he breaks both his legs). He is very passionate about that and will forever be trying to better himself. Kyra loves to use her imagination. She is always walking around the house talking to herself (which really is her friend, her class that she is teaching or her 'daughter' the doll). Kyra loves school and loves to read and is always trying to better herself.

I love being a mom. I'm so grateful for the 2 children that heavenly father entrusted to us. I love doing things with them and for them. I love that they feel comfortable enough to come and talk to me about the good times and the bad. I love sharing one on one time with them. I love being a "soccer mom" and cheering my son on. I love watching Kyra develop her talents in dance and cheer. Everyday is a new adventure and that's what I love about being a mom.

2010 was much better than 2009 by a LONG shot. Here's hoping that 2011 brings even more memories and fun times than ever before. It should be a good year for us. I guess one of my new goals will be to try to update this blog more than every 6 months. :)
