Read the B.O.M before Easter

Here I am trying to measure up again, but if I fall short of what I want the lord will help me make up difference one day I will be perfect like him but for now I like learning from mistake there good for me whatever they may be :0)

So the more time I spend journal online and blogging I am find all these cool blog that have been giving me great idea's, laughs and just make me smile though out the day. Well one of these blog gave challenge of reading the Book of Mormon by Easter. I have been focusing on trying to read the Conference Ensign one each day if possible that and the New Testament trying to stay on track with Sunday school. But also because it was my favorite year in seminary and it's a been a long that have gotten all the though. Plus Sunday we get talk about and enlighten one another I always love that part. So why am I sharing this here well for all of you who would like to try this with are welcome. I really loved doing when prophet asked not to long a go to read though it and with fourth ward Relief Society. An  I find my self staying on task when I have starting and ending time. Other wise I get lost in pondering and sometime with everything that going on lose time to do it at all. But this helps me get done and make a must just like my goals I put up here on my blog and so far they are sticking. Well as best as can with life just being what it is always one advantage after another.
Any who, join in the fun and read with me I know that life is always getting  in the way with these kind of thing but this make life, my life sweeter it will do the same for you if you let.

My little Super hero's

Emma's Cape is one her baby dolls blanket. An the laundry like said they make all the work we get done or not done worth it. We had been doing laundry all day.

J.J Cape is a pillow case, that was till he found an old baby blanket Thomas out grow to use for a cape.

Poor Thomas his great super power for me is sleep so we both get it more then we do right now . Or when these picture were taken this was right before the chicken pox started to show.

My Little Super Hero as they race around trying to help clean and make the baby laugh the brighten my day and make hard times so much easier. Super Emma & Awesome J.J & Fanatic Thomas there the ones that make all the work we do or don't do worth it.  I so glad that heavenly father would give me such wonderful children to call my own. 

Chicken Pox really it's the Chicken Pox

Well here we are a new year and already going in to an area some Doctor's haven't seen in so long they don't know what it is. I had some how not something I really want to tell everyone but got Impetigo and well from where not sure. But with all the children I have been around for the holiday who know where.  I had done quit well not giving to any of my children but a special Thomas who is nursing and teething well, I thought about Sunday I may have given it to him. So called his Doctor first thing Monday and got him a well child check for six month crazy it been that long from the time I had him.  So got appointment but was not till Tuesday worry of him itching and spreading it I asked if they could call in something for him to help with the rash. That was until about noon I saw more and they were spreading so fast it look like chicken pox. So ok made a choice not waiting till tomorrow we are going to the Inst-care and getting him look at to see if it is Chicken Pox. Low and behold after being told a half hour was all it would take to see the doc. Well an hour later waiting out in waiting room a half hour the in the room in walks the Doc and he looks at him and says it could be from a verse or what you have. After looking at mine that what he deiced but before he said that the words that came out his mouth made him look and sound like a bone head. "I am not sure what it is". Wow think that don't say it when your a Doc he said he wasn't good at his rash. Well the study up. He sent us home with something for impetigo and said that if not this call me I would like to know what his Doctor has to say. Well took him in the next day to our family Doctor o yeah that is chicken pox. An well we can't take him out anywhere really because he is contagious till the last pox is scab over and there a lot. An he is still getting new ones or I find one have not seen yet. Then this morning Emma woke up with a spot on her cheek she had little cold the last three days. so she didn't go to school because I have a feeling she will get a mild case of them but she is getting it. But today will tell us, sadly she has a birthday she wants to go to this weekend. I don't think so. That it there are fun advantage to start the New Year.

Snow men in Saint George and snow in the house

The day I thought Emma was meant to go back to school we woke to the coolest thing in the world snow. An to be honesty when you shovel it and work in it and freeze in it you don't like it. But after living here for seven years man you miss playing it . So you get the best of both worlds but living her. It snowed enough so we went sledding in Gunlock it was really fun. Beck my mother in-law got picture of that I didn't can't wait till she post those on face book they were so cute. Then there was my wish when Emma wanted to make a snow man and the snow out there wasn't the right kind of snow. I would know coming from Boston. So Snow no school good breakfast then out to build the first snow man as family. Kern didn't have gloves so he took the first pictures then the other two in front of the house I help build with Emma and J.J because Kern was inside with Thomas who was napping.  The snow in the house well that was from the Styrofoam that j.j and Emma got in and made look like  snow in the toy room. So not as fun as the real thing.  

just two inches not much already melting

we named him thomas

Emma& J.J. these are more saint george snow no complete white 

because there so little snow they were named after them

Toy room and snow inside

2010 Christmas was so much fun the best day of the year

The Kern and Melissa Bowler  Family Christmas was the best day of the month spending the month reminding each other way we celebrate the holiday to simple things that corals and wanting it to snow so it would all be the perfect day it was wonderful.  The help of our family from there gifts to the family actives together and sharing our testimony with our children made it the holiday everything it was. I love my three little ones there faces faces as they saw the tree and the gift is unforgettable. I got a surprise of my own.  An I got to enjoy and remember the gift of how Jesus Christ came in to the world and how that changes how I want to be or choose to be each day.

What to do for the new year

New year what do with it and in it? Well take it one day at time of course each day is a new day no mistake in it and we have had a good Christmas that we need to show off how good. We were so blessed to have a web cam so we could let our family in Boston see the gift we got with there $$$ help and the ones the Uncles got when they were here with us. We also need to show your fun with Uncle  Chris why we don't have picture with Uncle Spencer I don't know but he was here also and sad. I didn't get any picture of us all playing the wii that was the biggest hit... So this what I will do tell that I hope for this blog and then I will go on to my personal New Year goals.  I hope for this blog to write at least once a week if not twice a week and show all  event I talk about above and the ones I didn't such as the few Thanksgiving day picture I got. Some of the snow none of my children playing in so the snow silly I know. Then there the snow in the house whole neither story to that. An we have the Gunlock pageant and gift from Santa and we have never keep the picture from that because they have not very turned out good.  This year they did so yea there coming also but now to get on to the reason for this post.

. Hit the ground running, I want to get back to running so bad. But the trouble is there not enough time when Kern gets home to run three miles right now so. I will start with running the four or five blocks to the store ( Lin's) and back again for a start and work up to my three miles again by hopeful March. If not sooner.
. Spend some girl time with Emma every day. Doing something that remind me I am not just a mom but a Girl also and let Emma have Mommy and her time.

. J.J and Mommy time he is in the middle of the three of them and I remember what that was like so that middle time with mommy is key.

. Thomas time will be spent taking him for a walk with me if I don't go running ( he get almost all my time with feeding and such right now) 

. Read the New Testament and B.O.M. in 60 days and the New Testament a long with the Sunday school class. 
. Time to write in this blog and my Journal. Journal everyday blog twice a week.
. Cut out and give the amount time I spend with the T.V when I could be doing something better just wait for it to come out a hulu or the web and watch when if  I have a free hour. 
.  Knitting plastic bags in to  make new bags, started it never finished and finish Thomas baby blanket.
. Food Budget stick to and try new things at least once a week. That means no extra trip so the store if we run out make due till shopping day

. Date Night with my husband. It has disappear and reappeared though out our whole marriage but with three children it has only happened a total of three times this year a lone. Craziness so we need to find a good babysitter for all three and go just us.

. Last but not least The Temple I have been to the temple less and less. We just live across town from it now but still we see less so I go even less. An well three little ones nursing yea. I went we walked around but did we my husband and I go in together no and by ourselves not very much this year will be different.
