I miss these faces!

My sister Jenni and her kids are coming to visit me in one week! I sure miss seeing these guys all the time.




I don't miss this face. I get to see it everyday, but this is why I take so many pictures of my sisters kids.

Resolution

I've had a lot on my mind lately. I've been slipping deeper and deeper into complacency. I've been clutching to the lame excuse that I'm simply to busy to keep my life in order. I've made resolutions before to better organized and a better homemaker, but I never seem to stick it out. The difference this time is I actually WANT it for myself. Not because Rob deserves a better wife or because Robbie deserves a better mother, although both are true, but because I have noticed such a big difference in the way my life runs when I make small efforts to be a better wife and mother.
My Mom is such an example of the kind of mother that I want to be to my children. She isn't a great cook...actually, I take that back. She is an amazing cook, but she hates cooking. We didn't need elaborate dinners on the table or an immaculate house to know that she had it together. I hope that I can teach my family in the kind way that she taught me strong family values, self worth, and integrity.
My mom just had surgery on Monday morning to remove cancer tumors. Also, she ended up getting a portion of her bowel removed. She will be recovering in the hospital this week up in Salt Lake. I wish that I could be up there with her, but I know that she will be alright. I just hope she can still get all her Christmas shopping done from that hospital bed...ha ha just kidding mom!
