Katie's Birthday Party was a huge success. Here are some of the pictures!!!

From the front left: Treavan, Sammi, Emma, Corrine, Dylan, Caroline, Kwynn, McKynna, Katie, Molly, Madison, and Hailey, all together, to the right, nice, and then a little crazy!!!

We did the YMCA, the chicken dance, played limbo, and learned the boot scoot!!!

And then, there was cake!!!!

Even the mom's got into it!!! (It's Raining Men!!!)

Katie's birthday

Today is Katie's seventh birthday. She had school during the day, and then her Uncle Bubby picked her up. Grandma got her some clothespin dolls, and we had a special birthday dinner with cake afterwards.

Her birthday party is on Saturday, so stay tuned for more news...

Good Stuff....

I'll admit, sometimes it is hard to think of good stuff to write about.

The world hands us opportunities to look pessimistically on each day, thus, I choose to blog about the greatness of my life.

I will admit, I do suffer from depression, so what better way to start out a blog, and a year, by thinking of the great things that can come from each day.

Today is no exception!

1) I am grateful that DISH Network bypassed the FOX feed and we were still able to watch the Huskers play football. This kept my husband happy, and I got a nap!

2) I am grateful that my children were home from school. I got to spend time with them.

3) I am grateful that my work was closed today. I got to stay home.

4) I am grateful that it snowed this weekend. I love it when the world is blanketed in white. (AND I especially love when my girls shovel snow and scrape my car!!!)

5) I am grateful that each new year, I have the opportunity to set new goals for myself and work toward them.

So, this year, I am going to keep in better touch, find things to be happy about, and make myself a better person!

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
