So I know it's been a while since I updated. I've just been enjoying our new addition, having family come into town, spending time with family and friends, planning ward parties, and taking people's pictures.
I never enjoyed Cody's peeps more than this past Thanksgiving. We had all of them staying out our humble abode and it was like a party every night. Jad (Cody's older brother) ran the Turkey Trot with me and it was fun to see many of you there. We were able to have some great conversations and deepen our friendship. I also loved being around my nieces and nephews, they are growing up so much and it is hard that we live so far away from them. Even though I was pretty much at the kiddie table for the Thanksgiving feast it was fun to eat all the good food that was prepared. Thank You, Startins for all the fun, food, and SHOPPING! Best "Black Friday" ever!
The picture of Gage in the swing is us at "park day" that we participate in every Friday. A group of girls from my ward all get together and let our kids run wild in the park. I remember thinking that I would never have a child old enough to participate in those kinds of things as it was brought up in Relief Society, but now its crazy that I have my Gage who loves it.
I have to say though that I am struggling right now with how to go about with the whole discipline thing. I am trying to figure it out, I feel like I am failing somewhat. I want Gage to be a good and obedient little boy, but I just feel like such a rookie. We are both learning together -- I need to sit down with some of you veteran moms and listen on how you do it.
Life is busy, as I'm sure it is for all of you. But isn't it wonderful!!! Cody and I have recalled President Monson's talk on finding "joy in the journey" many times. I really want to cherish each stage of our lives no matter what the trials are. Again, I can't help but think how blessed we are to have so many wonderful people in our life that bless our life in so many ways.
Off the top of my head I need to give a shout out to my big sis Raquel, I just feel like she has put forth extra effort to show me love. I love you Quel, it hasn't gone unnoticed.

When you get the whole discipline thing figured out, fill me in PLEASE! I have always thought that it is so important to have well-behaved kids and I had no doubt that I would be able to whip mine into shape, but I am failing miserably. I am just hoping that the fact that we care and try will help good to prevail over evil in the end!
Cody and Aubry..You have such a great family and your kids are WAY cute! I finally got to see the pictures of your trip in the Philippines! They're so beautiful! Obviously you guys had way too much fun! Anyway, Have a Merry Christmas!
