So life has been a little busy around here lately...not really but it is always a good excuse right. Let me start with the most exciting news of all, my baby is walking!! I know I can hardly believe it myself where did that time go?? At 10.5 months Isaac is walking almost everywhere. I will admit he isn't 100% stable, but he is pretty good. He will only crawl when he wants to get somewhere faster than what he can walk. I am trying to get some pictures but I haven't accomplished that one yet :)

So this last weekend Jason was cooking dinner for me and the kids because I was off doing something else and he just decided to take it and run with it even though he wasn't going to eat it(spahetti, something he can't have). When all of a sudden he is screaming and yelling in pain. Apparently, when he drained the noodles all of the hot water went over the edge of the collendar and landed on the top of his foot. Luckliy, a trip to Target in a snowstorm got us through and all is mending well. Sorry no pictures of this because Jason is not one for pictures.

Now just for some littler things that are happening. Brinley is excitedly preparing for the school spelling bee on Friday, she was a finalist from her class and is spending lots of extra time with a list of words up and through the 8th grade...we wish her lots of luck!! Now onto Kyler. Kyler turned 8 this last October and we can honestly say I have never seen a kid so excited to be a scout!! Jason is Club Master so I don't know if that adds to it, or if it is just the "scout" title. Every January they hold the "Pinewood Derby" and my son is no exception to the excitement that comes with building the car. We can hardly contain the excitement and I will post pictures of that event come Thursday. Bryson is well Bryson...nothing but trouble with a capital "T", and the twins are right there behind him in everything he does.

I have been running everyday. It is going alot slower than I remember it taking, but I am loving the time I have for myself. Somedays I just don't get there( my mom's house), and wish I had a treadmill of my own so I could do it when Isaac is napping. But I have given myself plenty of training time and I think I will be ready for the half-marathon in plenty of time. Just a little update of the things happening in our lives.

Well it is here. The new year....2010. Can you believe it? I really can't! It has been a wonderful year. Some exciting moments...and some less excting moments. But overall it has been a great year. I wish all of you a wonderful year with many fun things to come.

Christmas was fun with lots of presents, messes, and parties too. With favorite presents ranging from Madame Alexander Doll for Brinley, Leapster2's for the 3 middle boys (Bryson, William, and Alexander), Remote Control Wall-E for Kyler, and a pushing/riding car for Isaac, that the kids fight over whose turn it is to push him. It has all come to an end as yesterday it was all put away. Hopefully, now as the kids are back in school, things will get back to normal... Hooray. Now to the New Year's Resoulutions. I think I have really overdone it, but I am hoping to stick it out. My goal for this year is to get back in shape with running and Pilates. I am hoping to finish out this goal with running a Half-Marathon in August. I am beginning to feel the weight of this decision. Seeing as I haven't ran is many years, and I have yet to start. But I am going to keep at it, and hopefully I will make it.
