Bring on 2008...

I'm excited about starting a new year. Something about it just makes me feel fresh. Starting new. My mom sent me an email and said, "2008 will be great. It has to because it rhymes!" So I'm goin' with it. Thanks Ma! We have had some challenges this year with Jer switching jobs & starting his own brokerage, but he works so hard for us & I know he will just keep pushing along. All I can say is that we have 2 very healthy, happy and beautiful boys that we really just love to pieces & they bring us so much happiness. We have the gospel in our lives & love in our home & a solid marriage. That's what really matters. I am so blessed. I love my kids & my husband. And I love the gospel. It fulfills my life and encourages me to be better every day. What could be better than that. I hope I can stick to the small resolutions I made this year! Here's to 2008!

We rung in the New Year with friends (thx Brittany & Jason) and the kids were good until midnight! They have never been up that late before! Eeeeek. "Just this once" I told myself. We had a Martenellis toast at midnight & I got a kiss from my man. Woohoo!

New years day we celebrated my niece, Libby's birthday! She was the first baby born on the New Year at the new hospital last year, so she has a special birthday. I can't believe she's ONE! She is stinkin adorable!!

the boys loved Libby's bubble machine!

This was a classic "Kosty stunt." I told him it was time for bed & to read books, so next thing I know he is in his rocking chair, with a book, and a giant bag of tortilla chips, just snacking away. He's hilarious. Now he DEMANDS a bag of chips or pretzels during books every night.

Here are my 3 boys eating a bowl of cereal for their bedtime snack. I just loved it. So its goin in as well. Happy New Year everyone!
