Birds, Birds and Birds

I love looking out my windows and watching God's creatures.

New Camera

Some of you might know that my digital camera has had plenty of accidents from flying off the car while I turned out of the driveway to falling on the kitchen floor after accidentally being knocked off the counter. I guess you could say that after all that it was time to get a new one and that I did. I have been nagging Keith for about two weeks and he finally gave in and I even let him pick the color.

This week/weekend we had the joy of keeping my best friend's baby. We had fun and learned a lot about parenting and babies. Keith changed his first diaper and it turned out to be a stinky. I guess if you are going to do something for the first time why not go all the way. We went shopping, visited my grandma and dad and just played mom and dad.

So like last year, I had a birthday party for my much loved Grandma. I love having people over and don't see my aunt's and uncle's that much so it is always good to catch up. My grandma turned 77 on January 26th and had so much fun this year as the conversation and food were great. Here are some pictures of the party.

Much Needed Posting

So today I am doing some much needed posting. I have so many thing to write about so sit back and enjoy.

1st New Year’s Resolution Update

So this first month has been rocky but only because I am trying to get into the routines. I figured that if blogged about what has been happening and where I stand then I might stick to them better.

1. Lose 15 – 20 pounds by my birthday (August 10th) ~~ I have only lost 5 pounds, but still have a lot of time.

2. See grandparents at least twice a month ~~ I saw both of them twice and talked to them on the phone several times.

3. Don’t eat junk food ~~ It is to tasteful not to eat, I ate junk food in other words.

4. Write more letters instead of email. ~~ I have written two in January.

5. Say my prayers before bedtime ~~ I do this about every other night but find myself praying in the morning while I am still in the bed if I forgot the night before.

6. Recycle more ~~ I have got my row of co-worker giving me there water bottles. I am doing real good with this one.

7. Be cautious of how I treat people ~~ I think I am getting better, but I can’t judge that one really.

8. Give complements, don’t be afraid to say them ~~ I love this one, and I am doing great. The other day I told someone that I liked something she had on and she said you don’t like my skirt I made it. I felt like I put my foot in my mouth but not all the way.
