Blah

I am such a horrible horrible blogger now! Life is busy and computer is super super slow now because I have a program on my computer that takes up alot of memory. Brandon's laptop crashed so I have to rely on our desktop. I'm debating on whether or not I should continue blogging because I haven't done it in such a long time so we shall see.
Christmas has come and gone and it was a good Christmas. The kids were sooo excited to see what Santa brought them and no complaining. Honestly, my kids are soo good about not complaining on what they didn't get or a gift that they didn't like. Jazmin decided to wake up at 1 a.m. on Christmas morning that we told her to go back to bed. Brandon and I had just gone to bed about midnight so I was not about ready to get up at 1 a.m. The kids got up a little after 6 and off we were down the stairs. It was fun to be able to see Brock's reaction this year since he's a little older and knows what is going on. He was soo excited to see that Santa brought him a 4 wheeler (a remote control). I swear he saw that and he was done. He had no interest in opening the other gifts. The girls were happy with what they got and that was good. After we hurried and picked up and showered and packed and off to grandma's house we went. Brandon's family had a party planned at 10 10:30 so I asked Brandon if we could stop at my parent's house first to open gifts our gifts that we got from there before my family showed up for the Christmas party on my mom's side of the family. I know 2 family Christmas party back to back. We stopped and opened our gifts and then I stuffed my face with my mom's delicious tamales that she makes every Christmas. They were sooo good. That's one thing that I look forward to during Christmas time are my mom's tamales. I am vowing to learn to make those bad boys this year too and then sell them in the Walmart parking lot-kidding. It was a fun day and boy did I eat. By the end of the night I seriously thought I was going to throw up and not because I was getting my groove on, on my brother's kinect game dance central, but because I ate wayyy too much. It was fun though. I love going to my family's parties because good food and it's fun to hang out with my cousins. Sure they are a lot younger than I am, and I mean a lot like teenagers but it's fun to talk to them.
The kids got to spend a couple of days with their grandparents so that meant a couple of days of peace and quiet. I actually was bored though. The first day I didn't know what to do because it was soo quiet and I wasn't yelling at the kids to stop fighting. I do miss those little kiddos of mine and I am very very grateful that I have the opportunity to be a stay at home mom. I am soo excited to get them on New Year's Eve and take them sledding. My parents took them and Brock loved it. It's going to be fun to be able to see his face in person going down the hill.
2010 is almost gone and I can't wait for 2011. 2010  was a huge trial for us and we will never ever forget our trial that we have gone through. At times it totally sucked but it has helped us see what is truly important and how much we take little things for granted. I am ready to put this year in the past and welcome 2011 with open arms. Happy New Year's everyone!
