Winter Stuff

Crew LOVES to dig in the snow with his "scoopie's" (and tease the dog) I guess if we can't dig in the sand at the beach then well take the next best thing. I attached a video on here of Crew throwing snow at Beef Stew but blogger won't let me publish it dang it. Its was really cute too, oh well.



Jared and I went snowboarding a couple of weeks ago at Brighton with my sis, bro in law and nephews. Here he is stalling from getting out of the warm car into the cold :)

It was really fun to go with Jared, plus it gives me something to work up toward since he's so much more advanced then me.

New Years Resolutions 2010

Ashley Siruno inspired me to make a new years resolutions list. These things have been up in my head and I have been doing some of them but I'm thinking it will help even more if I write them down. And oh ya I haven't blogged in like a month and a half, I've sort of lost the will to blog lately. I think this usually happens to me for a period every winter, it just seems like there is really not all that much to exciting going on or that I really want to take pictures of in the winter. And sometimes I just need to take a break from thinking about taking pictures. I love having pictures I just hate taking them. Its nice to just go do something sometimes and truly enjoying yourself without thinking about documenting it. Maby I make to big of a deal about it in my head. It fact I think thats it, I can bring my camera along and if I feel so inspired to take a picture at any given moment I can and if not I don't have to, problem solved. I'm glad I thought of that :) Anyway before I got off on a tangent I was going to list my new years resolutions

1- Read 1 chapter of the Book of Mormon everyday - I've been doing this since Sunday and so far I'm right on track. Ya know I have been LDS my whole life and have never read this book that is the cornerstone of our religion cover to cover in order. Yes I've read it a fair amount over my life bouncing around all over the place but never from beginning to end all the way through, so here I go.

2- Attend the temple one day a month, this I'm really bad at but I really want to make it a habit. And it shouldn't be that hard, I actually like going, I just need to pick a day every month and go.

3- Attend all of church every week

Thats it, I don't want to make to many resolutions because I think the more I make the less likely i will be to keep each one. I think spiritual goals are the most important for me anyway. I feel like if I can do these things and keep my relationship with God strong and feed my spirit then other areas I want to improve on in my life will just fall into place. In the last general conference Dale Renlund of the seventy said " Don't be casual in your worship to God " I couldn't agree more, its vitally, extremely important for me and the welfare of my family.
