Valentine's at the DeKocks

This morning was full of cookie baking and getting treats ready for the teachers. Still having a lot of fun taking pictures. I hope the kids never get tired of letting me pose them. Carson seems to eat it up.

Happy Valentine's Day

Okay so the digital scrapbooking was a little harder than I thought. I can't believe I have no knowledge about anything concerning the computer. So Daniel today signed me up for a photoshop class in the community. Hopefully that will help me with my digital scrapbooking.

I didn't know how much fun it would be to create

something. These are two photos I have

been working on see what you think.

This month My mother turned 60.

I spent a wonderful weekend with some of my most special friends in

Texas and even have an old timey picture to prove it.

I love the place that I live even if the weather does

Stink!

My house is on the market again. So that maybe we can find the perfect place to live.

Who wouldn't buy this wonderful house.

The kids are getting bigger by the minute.

And I never have enough time to do anything.

I have made a couple of goals for myself and maybe if I write them down that will help.

1. I am going to learn to digital scrapbook if it kills me.
2. I am going to take my camera everywhere and just let things inspire me.
3. I am going to listen to more of the music that I like and read the books I enjoy.
4. I am going to enjoy the kids not think of how difficult they can be.
   
   

Christmas at the deKocks

Well I am not a very good writer but I just wanted to share some of our Christmas pictures with ev eryone. I also wanted to share a picture of Jaden with his new love Madison. I will have to say that the boys have a little piece of their dad in them when it comes to the women. They love them. I also thought that this little piece of Carson's personality came through when this week when his Dad and I were arguing he yelled "Dad you should be nice to mom, you love her so just kiss her alright." We of course stopped arguing and laughed. One more thing that I thought was noteworthy was Daniel asked me today if it "was time for me to start hitting menopause." The man was completely serious. I told him in no uncertain terms that I was a little young thank you very much. That is all for now just a little update.

I am trying this again

Well

We had a wonderful Christmas for anyone that was wondering. I suprised Daniel with a big screen tv that made him jump up and down and squeal like a little girl. The kids all got what they wanted except for the WII. We had friends and family and had a great time. This weekend takes Daniel and I to Conneticut to see our friends the Malcarnes from our mission. I am very excited. I thought this was the cutest picture of Jaden. He was going outside and you never know what you might need.
