I'm hoping with the new year for several new things! Most people make New Year's resolutions. I have before but I've very rarely succeeded. 2011 is going to be a new start for me in so many ways. Here they are in no particular order:
1. Start blogging more - so I can see what God has done in and through our lives. Also to see how my boys grow.
2. Start reading the Bible more along with daily prayer and worship times
3. Start exercising daily - Marshall and I started the BeachBody Slim in 6 program on January 4th. I plan to blog about this journey along with pictures and updates.
4. Start eating better
I'm sure there are more that I can add later. These are the most important ones right now.

Lather, rinse and repeat
Am I the only one out there who feels that sometimes life is a lather, rinse and repeat cycle? I feel like I'm so caught up in life that I'm missing something. I'm always adding something else to my plate too because I'm crazy like that. :) I started my photography business in Dec of 2008. I started my Premier Designs jewelry business in August of this year. I'm already a SAHM. I'm involved in choir and praise team at church. I feel like I have so much on my plate but I love every minute of it. One of the biggest blessings to me is being able to be a part of NILMDTS (Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep). I have people all the time tell me that I'm an angel for my volunteering. It's an honor to me to serve the families and the babies. It's a blessing to me. They don't realize how much I benefit as well. It puts everything into perspective. You find out just what is really important in life as well. :)
Total change of subject but I am out of conditioner (which sparked this post). Am I the only one who runs out of conditioner before shampoo? I seem to end up with lots of bottles of shampoo but never enough conditioner. Do you buy just new conditioner or both?

Updates
Corgan has been fully potty trained for several months now. We still have some accidents but overall he's done great! I think we're pretty much night trained now as well! He only had one accident at night this past week! So he was treated to Build A Bear He made a monkey that he named Funky Monkey. Oh the adventures those 2 had yesterday. Funky Monkey went out to eat with us last night and even helped Mommy and Daddy drive...hehe. Corgan is getting a lot more vocal and makes lots of sentences. He's a talking machine. He just celebrated his 3rd birthday on the 18th. We had his party at the church on the 19th. It rained so I think that scared a lot of people away but we still had a good crowd. He got way more presents than he needed but he had lots of fun! :)
Keelan is now pulling up on things instead of just people. He tries to practically climb up things. It's cute. He now has 8 teeth. He can wave. He says Hey, Bye Bye and Dada consistently. No MaMa just yet. He must just be saving the best for last. :) He won't quite stand alone just yet but we're working on it. His crawl is a one arm and one leg army crawl. Don't let it fool you though because he can get around quite fast! He loves his hair. You can see him pulling on it and shaking his head to make it spin. I'm constantly pulling it out of his face but I think he likes it in his face cause he'll shake his head and get it back in his eyes as soon as I move it. He's definitely a little rascal. He's got quite the determination and attitude. He'll let you know if he does or doesn't like something. He is still very much attached to his paci but doesn't have to have it. He went all night last night without it! YAY!
Marshall and I are both on our way to getting healthy. We just bought lots of Advocare products to get us started right. I'll be taking Fibo-Trim as well as drinking meal replacement shakes. Marshall is doing MNS - Maximum Appetite Control as well as a few other things with the shakes. To help keep me accountable I'm hoping to blog more. That will also help me to look back and see where I've come from.

New layout
I changed things around on here cause it needed a new look. I find that I don't spend much time blogging anymore. Guess I worry that no on really reads it anyways. So if you're out there, say hi. :)
My big thing lately in blog posts seems to be giveaways. I haven't won anything yet but I'll keep trying cause I'm addicted to the thrill. haha
One of the blogs that I frequent also has a giveaway blog, Lyndsie Gives Away. Right now she's doing a giveaway for a $50 gift certificate to The Vintage Pearl. I love the jewelry they have! I would totally pick a necklace with my boys names....all 3 (hubby included). They are my world. Go register to win yourself!!

Way behind
I see it's been just over a month since I've updated. I've been extremely busy with my photography business. When I'm not busy with that my boys keep me busy.
Corgan is now potty trained. He still has some accidents but he's been doing great! Keelan has 2 teeth and can sit up some now. He scoots sometimes too and spins to get where he needs to go. He's been doing good with eating baby foods too. He's 7 months old now. He eats stage 2 foods now. I recently stocked up on foods since I got a good deal. I always said I'd make my own baby foods but between the deals and the time it'd take to make it myself I decided to just buy.
We've pretty much switched back to disposable diapers. I'm not too thrilled about that especially after just buying a dozen new diapers and new covers to go with them. It's ok though cause I'm enjoying the break from cleaning and washing diapers. I've also gotten some really good deals of sposies. :)
