I figure if these are public I will be more likely to do them!
1. Family home evening weekly
2. To relax
3. To be nicer
4. To be to Sacrament meeting on time
5. To be the mother of 4, and do a good job!

Merry Christmas!
Conner got a Bakugan Set as well, and rememberd this was the same Santa from Maceys...
The nativity scene, here is Dillon, Conner in the green and cousin Blake in the blue, Abigail in front and Kylie holding baby Jocelyn
We had a great Christmas and a super fun time at the family party on Xmas Eve @ the Harders as always! Derek has the best family, and everyone is so close even though they are grown! The food is amazing and the people are great! Too bad the weather cancelled my parents and brother from making it here, but we still loved it! It was very peaceful and nice this year! Next up is Kiras wedding in a week! Heres to 2009, I have high hopes, could't be happier to say goodbye to my 2008! Heard heartbeat on Monday, and I go in on this Monday...

School Christmas Programs
Here are some shady shots from the school program the last two days! I tried to get them good, but I didn't have the best seats! They were so good, and Evan even sang and didn't hum like he vowed to do! Kate told me people want to see her new christmas bow, thats why we have that random one in there! She is fully aware of the blog world now! Conner participated, and I caught it last minute thats why its blurry! Then of course Heidi and Karma who I sat with! fun times! now I just have Evans class Christmas party tomorrow!

Oh colorado how I miss you! I have been thinking a lot about you lately! I hope to see you soon! It will never be the Colorado of my youth, but it still holds a place in my heart! These pictures are of my elementary school Witt Elem, the lake across the street from my house Standley Lake, I attended the Ward and HS named after it! and beautiful Boulder Colo. We all know this view as we enter town! I also added a picture of thunder bay @ water world (the best water park in america, what the crap is 7-peaks, when you've had this) and then the beau jos pizza place in Idaho Springs, CO. this was where Derek and I went on our 2nd date! Sorry I just had to "go there" today!

Today was great! I am 14 weeks. I tried to hold it together when I heard the heartbeat a second time today, but in the back of my mind I was beating down my excitement, telling myself that I heard Luke and Hunters at this stage. I did lose 3 lbs, and everything "seems" perfect! I truly feel we will have another child. I just hope its Now! Can I be selfish? I won't do this again. One thing I have gained from this is the stronger desire for this child. I can feel it SO strongly. Its a driving force in me, otherwise I would not subject myself to this experience a third time in a year! My body is not holding up! I never lose the baby weight easily anyways, but I am at my worst right now. Like I said, I am ready to move on with all aspects of my life! the other exciting thing is that my sister is due 2 weeks exactly after me! I am June 5th, she is the 19th. My doctor is seeing me in 2 weeks for an ultrasound and then weekly, until we pass the danger zone. So I should know really soon what the baby is, although it is usually the most exciting day of pregnancy for me, it is my biggest fear this time, as we found no heartbeats on the boys at the gender ultrasound. So of course all I want for Christmas is a heartbeat, and a sense of peace.

Rock Band Dudes!
These aren't the BEST pictures, but I had to take them while they didn't know it! I can't believe I haven't posted anything on rock band yet as it has taken over the house! The boys have almost mastered Medium, and as you can see they have their own style! The boy in the middle is Logan Sorensen Conners best friend! Evan has to go get his special hat to wear backwards when he plays, hes so cute! If we play as a family, I usually sing, Dereks Guitar, Evans bass, and Conners drum, Kates our Clapper, or Dancer! Its fun times!
"Once in Royal David's City"
Here are some pictures from the Relief Society Christmas Dinner I was in charge of last night, I couldn't get a great one of the tables, since I only remembered pictures after the program! We did Purple, Silver and White with the theme "Once in Royal Davids City" focusing on Christ's Royal birth. There were five short talks and five musical numbers, it was great. Shanna Bussio is on the board as the Food coordinator, and took dinner on! We had pork tenderloin, rice pilaf, salad, home made rolls and pumpkin cake, it was very good! The highlight of the evening to me was hearing my new neighbor Bro Caras in the ward sing, he was out of sight! I love crossing these major things off the list! The picture of my friends were also my twilight night group, minus one, and the one standing didn't go, but they were funny and had some fun conversations which carried into the hall from the microphone right next to them! Haha!

So here are some of the christmas trees and decorations we put up this week! It is always so much fun to blast the Christmas tunes and decorate! We love doing things as a family and as you can see the animals love it too! Roxy is usually up 8 1/2 feet on the 9 ft tree! she flattens out each branch as she goes higher which sucks, and spray bottles cant be used on her due to the electrical lights! Its been 4 years, the battles is nearing an end! DANG CAT! We are planning on just staying home this year, and hopefully my parents will come up! We shall see! This has been the best weekend with Thanksgiving and shopping! Derek has had work off since Wedns. We went bowling (I won) shopping, on a date night and to see Christmas lights amongst a million other fun things! We had Thanksgiving at Dereks sis Ginas along with his sis Kira and her fiancee Jimmy and Dereks parents! it was delicious! I ended up getting so sick and actually had a fever so it ended sucky but, the kids LOVED it with their cousins! I am sad Derek has to go back to work tomorrow, I will miss breakfast in bed! I am spoiled and sleeping in until 10! back to life and the Relief Society Christmas dinner I am in charge of on Wednsday night! It should be fun, I can deligate quite well! Although somehow I ended up giving a talk! It will be great when its over! Heidi if you read this you better have Wedns morning open for decorating at the church I'll buy lunch!!! We also decided to do the Spongebob gingerbread house this year if you were trying to make since of our creation!
