Resolutions Anyone?


I haven't officially made any resolutions this year, although I would like to be more consistent at updating this blog and not having months go by without an entry. I would like to become a better wife, a kinder more patient mom and a more intentional friend but if I make those my resolutions I am setting myself up for failure. So I have put it off, but my better half, my good looking, sexy bald headed husband, is completely opposite of me when it comes to discipline, resolutions, challenges, etc. He not only has made his resolutions but all three kids have joined him. They now fight to get on the pull up bar that hangs between my bedroom and bathroom. If Gary disappears for a few minutes and I ask, "where have you been?" (in my sweetest concerned wife voice) he now says, "I just did 10 pull ups." I haven't even attempted one, call it being stubborn, call it milking the pulled muscle in my neck excuse, or call me lazy. Gary is an amazingly disciplined person, I respect and admire him for this and yes poke fun at him but only because I am jealous! I think my resolution should be keeping my husband super happy this year because I am extraordinarily blessed to have a husband like him. I love you Gary~

Call me WEAK because I couldn't do a pull up if it meant my behind being bitten off by an angry animal if I were hanging from a tree limb. (Hope I'm never actually put to the test on this one).
I loved this post, though. It gets right down to what so many of us want and why so many of us put it off.

What's to come?. . .Future phone calls

Seriously, I am still laughing. I handed Logan her pink play cell phone that had gone through the wash. So as I was putting the laundry away (it had been over a week and the pile was about to tumble.) in the boys room, Logan made a phone call.(on the pink cell) Logan: Hey Desirae, how are you doing? Me: Logan, Mrs. Crouch is what you need to call her. She isn't your friend, she is Ella's mommy. Logan: Mommy, I am just talking with Dez. I just let it go because I was so tickled. It gets better. This is what I hear with long pauses in between. (I really grabbed Noah's sketch pad and wrote it down word for word) "I've been doing that for weeks." "Oh, you HAVE? Oh, Wow . . good for you!" "Isaiah, not now, I'm having a phone call." Then Logan makes her way into the boys closet, (I am still putting clothes away). I tell her leave the door open and get out of the closet. Her response, "Mom, just like you when you talk on the phone." ...

Today was Logan's photo shoot for her four year picture. Noah (seven years old) had his picture take a couple of weeks ago but I never posted them. Would you believe these were taken downtown. . . . Upland?? Traci Falder, (my running partner) has abandoned running with me to pursue her dream of starting a photography business. (no hurt feelings) She is extremely talented and I encourage you to check out her photography blog at tracifalderphotography.blogspot.com. In between these two photo shoots, I took Isaiah to JCPenny's for his picture because my membership runs out at the end of this month. After trying to keep my active 18 month old on a red dot, in a tiny room, with a billion props to look at, (but me not letting him hold any), it was all I could do to not walk out and call Traci to redo his pics. Which I will in the next week, hopefully:) When I first saw Noah sitting like this, I immediately thought this is exactly how Gary would sit. Traci told Noah to sit on this ben...

Baseball Season has Arrived

Noah as "Lead Off" Batter, which has become Coach Spiegel's nick name for him. This weekend we had a game Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Noah's team is 2-2 and Noah is having a great time. He is batting well and improving out in the field at his new position of pitcher. Last year he played third base and really liked that. Noah is learning to think about where he should throw the ball to get someone out BEFORE the other team hits. He has fielded well and then made errors in where he has or has not thrown the ball. This will come for him as he keeps playing. I hope this doesn't sound critical, I think Noah is a fantastic athlete for his age (I hope that doesn't sound braggy) I just want to journal where he is ability wise so we can look back and see where he improves over time. Noah at first base. Justin Singer as first baseman, a friend of Noah's from church and King's . Noah, Bailey Spiegel, and Conner Raikes. The Three Musketeers. Snow cone ...
