No New Years Resolutions

I do not do New Year Resolutions,  So instead I like to make mini goals and one of them this year is to get on a healthier eating plan and get my family on that plan as well.  I have slowly been buying things for us to try and so far a few things they REALLY like.  Such as whole wheat bread, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat tortillas (my fav) and now a new favorite of ours is SILK soy milk.  It is very smooth and really good for you and I am thankful my girls really like it.  I have also got my girls to like spinach instead of regular salad,  they are not thrilled with it but they will eat it mixed in with their salad :)

So this new year is going to be focusing on eating better, exercising more, taking more vitamins daily for all of us and getting healthy.  One step at a time.  Just bringing in one thing new at a time to try and if we like it YAY!  So far it has been a success,  thank god!  :)

The silk is great with a bowl of cereal of by itself.  :) YUMMY!

Happy New Year

We said goodbye to 2011- yet again you can guess where I was when we were all ringing in the New Year.. Yep at work as usual. Seems like all I do is work.  This New Years I was pretty emotional, up until 11:59pm work was sooo soooo damn busy I did not have time to stop and think about being at work that I just kept going ... then when our announcer started the countdown to midnight and said to grab your loved one and hold them tight and get ready for the first kiss of 2012,  I have to say looking around and seeing all the couples kissing and holding each other really got to me.  I was in tears and just wanted to be with Steve but I had no idea where he was at.  The clock struck midnight and everyone yelled "Happy New Year" and my night continued on once again another year without a New Year kiss :(  I know it isn't that big of a deal but with the job we have it takes away from things that are important to every day people.  I have worked every holiday the last 4 years and since Steve and I have been together we have not had one New Years kiss.

This year I need to focus on some things that I will tell you all about later on in another blog.  These things are going to make things a lot better for me and for my family and I am looking forward to them. I do not do New Years resolutions,  I just set mini goals and once reached I them I set yet another mini goal.  Once I get these mini goals in line I will make another blog and fill you all in.

Christmas.. another one has come and gone

Christmas this year was pretty good. Although I had to work it yet AGAIN it was still a good day. Steve and I got up with the girls and let them open their gifts here at our house then headed over to my Dad and Stepmoms about 11:30 am to start our Christmas dinner.  Steve and I both had to be to work at 4pm so we ate around 2:30pm. The girls were so spoiled yet again this year.. They got so much and then some.  It was a great day other than having to leave and go to work.  I really just wanted to stay home and enjoy my family.  But duty calls and we got paid double time on Christmas day so it was worth it.

Visiting family..

Wednesday we went to Santa Nella to meet my mom, grandma and niece.  Santa Nella is halfway for us both and we do it every year to exchange gifts.  We had lunch at Dennys and visited for awhile and hung out.  It was nice but WAY to short.  We left Dennys and all went to Pea Soup Andersons and looked at their souvenirs and then we drove home.  It was an all day event but so worth it.  I am glad my niece got to come too.  It was good to see her.  Miss them all.

Here are a few photos:
