January 2017 update

It is difficult to believe that it is almost the end of January and more difficult that it is 2017. There are days when I feel I like that our days do not ever slow down. It seems there is always something going on, luckily for us, basketball season ended this week so that will help. It can be a challenge at times to try to manage our schedules and all our activities with our sweet babes. Ginny is still conditioning for softball during the week, except for on Sundays (what a good but hard choice for her because it may effect if she makes the team or not). Aubree is involved in her drama production at school, and the boys, well they are just the boys. Both my boys can be the absolute sweetest things ever but they can also be such little boogers. For example, last week, Will refused to get off the bus stop because he wanted to show the new driver the route. Not that he knows the route because it ends for him when he gets off the bus. While I am grateful that he wanted to help, he still got in trouble. Christopher woos me with his ways, especially on Wednesday evenings when everyone is at church (Jake is at young mens, the girls and young womens, and Will at cub scouts). Last week as I was folding clothes, Christopher showered, put on a suit, a heaping amount of cologne, and came in my room with a chocolate bar, got on one knee, and asked me on a date for ice cream. How can you resist that?!? School preparations keep us all on our feet as well. January has been busy with young women's because we are traveling to the different wards/branches for New Beginnings. January also brought me my first LulaRoe pop up party. I am determined to make our money back because I made such a big investment in it. So I have been trying to schedule parties and am participating in my first multi-sale this week, tonight actually. It feels that I have not been home one evening this week and will not be until we leave for Cabo. Next week, Jake and I are going to Cabo with the adults in his family. While I am very nervous about leaving my kids, it will be nice to just focus on each other.
