Its a whirlwind around here!

I am not going to have much of a blog book for 2013 if I don't kick it into gear around here and start documenting!  I wish I had some great excuse for why I can't seem to sit down and post but I don't.

Life is moving at such a rapid pace it feels.  Thank goodness I have my planner to help keep me straight.  Between 4-H, cub scouts, relief society visits on Tuesday nights, gym twice a week, homework, and all the other stuff that crops up too...we seem to be on the go a lot.  I like it when I am able to keep up, otherwise, it can leave me feeling frazzled!

The kids are great..they keep growing and growing and growing.  I keep growing and growing with them.  I love the challenge and fun of the whole family thing.  It is so interesting that now I get to have an adult perspective on the elementary stage of life.  I hope that as I listen to the stories and problems of my children I can pause and remember how I felt at that stage.  Instead of brushing off their worries and concerns as childish, I hope I can relate on there level and really hear them.

I am caught up in the whirlwind of raising kids, making a home, and trying to find that magical balance in life.
Happy I am sometimes and crazed I am at others....life is good!  I will find time here soon to document all that has been happening.
