It's Been A Very Long Time

Well it has been a very long time since I have updated my blog. I just don't feel like I have anything to write about when indeed their is alot. We made it through the Holidays and I can't believe it is all ready March. I really don't like to blog when I don't have any pictures so I will have to download my pictures and update again. I will just give a rundown of our year so far.
In January we took all of our kids to Disneyland for a week. We were soaking wet but had a blast. We went when El Nino hit and Disneyland was a lake but we didn't let that stop us, after all that is what ponchos, umbrellas, and jackets are for. We didn't have to stand in any lines because there was nobody there. We also celebrated Vai's 16th birthday and Isaac's 3rd Birthday. February was a complete blur to me because I started with a new work schedule which I now work 4am till 12:30pm with Tuesday and Wednesdays off. I am now adjusted to being up at that time of the day but 12:30 hits and I am beat but with a 3 year old I don't really get to take a nap and then before I know it kids are coming home, homework needs to be done, dinner made, and baths and bedtime. I usually don't get to bed until 9 and probably don't fall asleep until about 10. I pretty much have no energy ever!!! Sundays are by far my hardest because I have to wake up earlier to actually shower and get myself ready so that when I finish work at 12:30 I can go to church from 1-3. I have thought about becoming inactive and taking a nap while the kids and hubby go but just can't bring myself to do it. I guess it is going to church and renewing by covenants and being uplifted that gets me through the week. I feel really blessed that my husband and I both have jobs and that we are able to provide for our family in this day and age. I haven't set any resolutions for this year but I am just taking it a day at a time and striving on being better today than I was yesterday. Everybody has been asking about Vai and what else can I say other than she is a miracle. After being so sick this summer and bringing her home and the Dr. telling us she had just 2-3 months to live she is doing amazing. She is now going to school full time again and her heart looks better than it has looked in a long time. Heavenly Father has a mission for her and their is a reasone she is still here and we are blessed to have her in our lives and part of our family.
