Another year older and wiser too!

I had another birthday! Yippee! I am grateful for my many blessings!

I decided to set a few goals to accomplish by my next birthday. Here they are:

Train for next summer's Marana Splash n' Dash races (we are moving to Utah soon (I'll do a post on that sometime soon) but I'm sure we'll come down sometime to visit family and I am going to try to coordinate to stop by and participate in one of these races when we're visiting.) I have already started running and swimming and have already found a couple indoor pools in Utah to "train" at during the winter. I started swimming 32 laps (that's how many laps they do in the race) recently, but I am SO out of breath when I'm finally done so I need to keep it up and get stronger and better. :) I'm also going to look for 5K's to participate in up in Utah. Gotta keep this OLD body healthy!!
Learn how to make DVD's of home videos of our family memories (I can't tell you how excited I am to get this under my belt!)
Read my scriptures for 365 days straight. Gulp! Ok, so I am sporadic at this, but this is my new goal---so even if it is just for 5 minutes.

So there you have it, my 3 goals for the next year. I thought I'd better keep the list nice and simple so I don't get in over my head. I LOVE life and am so grateful for another year to learn and grow.

Quotes 2016

Clay was jumping from tile to tile in our kitchen, then kind of spinning on each tile, careful to stay within the square shape of each tile. I asked, "What are you doing?" and Clay responded, "I'm square dancing!"

Clay, said every time he prays: "Help us to be like the Gospel."

Clay, said another time he prayed for each person in our family that they could "do good" in either school or work when he got to me he said: "...Please bless mom that she can go to the gym." I guess that sticks out to him!

We were walking into Wells Fargo when Paige saw a man with shoulder length hair and a beard getting into his car. I was holding Paige and she grabbed my face and turns my head toward the man. Then she says, "Mom, there's Jesus!" (November 2016)

Paige: "I look like nursery!" She said this as she looked at herself in the mirror after I got her dressed for church and had just finished doing her hair. (March 2017)

"remembery" -Clay (Memory) October 2017

Joey, asking Paige: "Should I grow a prickly beard or shave and have soft cheeks?"

Paige, jumping up and down answers: "A sparkly beard!" (September 2017)

"Jew-zi-knee bread" - Paige (zucchini bread) (September 2017)

In school Miles was learning about the Great Depression. He was talking on and on about it to me and started talking about Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt. He was trying to tell me about the president known as FDR (Roosevelt) but instead he kept saying, "KFC" I couldn't figure out what he meant until he said, "You know, he was president after Hoover, everybody called him KFC". I had to explain he was actually known as FDR! (October 2017)
