a Kardashian New Year



 

Yes I do watch the Kardashian's! Khloe and Kourtney have always been my favorite. I have been thinking about what I wanted out of 2016 because 2015 was a blur and I was so busy at being busy I don't have a lot to say about 2015 except I'm glad its over. I started reading Khloe's book and it hit home and a lot of the same things I have been thinking about.

My kids school sports schedule in one big joke!!! I think we should just take the schedule out of it because either they don't have one and you never know what the heck you are doing or you get one only to be changed 40,000 times. Who wants to have that many scratched out things in their pretty planner. This girl right here!!! That issue has almost lead to the death of me. That is my sole issue with this year and I let my mood from that drift into all the other aspects of my life and it just wasn't good. I'm so OCD and thrive on schedule and routine so when I don't get a schedule and its fly by the seat of your pants kind of thing or another change in the schedule oh wait another change it drives my cuss word nuts. I understand things change from time to time but not all the time and times again because of another change. It got to a point to where I was mentally and physically ill over this. I have been dealing with this for 4 years now and this past year I literally had ENOUGH!


While reading her book I decided right then and there that this is the last thing in life I should let it effect my mood, my husband, my kids, and my friends. I never wanted to do anything due to my brain being mentally exhausted from it all nor did I feel like dong anything from being physically drained from the chaos. I have a God who loves us wholeheartedly and never forsakes us that shows more grace than I ever deserve, a husband who does his best providing for us, healthy kids who I would be bored without, great friends who I have been put on the backburner.

 

2016 Goals:

 

Grow in my Faith

I've put it on hold for business when I should of made it my first priority

 

 





Khloe's advice: Don't sweat the small stuff.

we spend a lot of time wallowing and or complaining about what's wrong with life...

It's not fair we complain, not realizing that, perhaps, it was never intended to be





Be present: live in the moment!!

The dishes and laundry can wait



This hits home with me so much and its my biggest struggle in life.

I want to house to be perfect with everything its in perfectly organized spot with all my candles filling the rooms with wonderful fragrance in the air, my planner planned out for the week, month, or year anything I know in advance is color coded as well as meal planning. If I am doing something I am all in and I want it perfect. One of the hardest things for me is letting the kids make a mess I want to shout and cry buy I realize that's what being perfectly imperfect looks like. Trying to strive to make everything perfect is never ending and in turn has stolen my joy for loving life it feels more like a chore that never ends.

There you go those are my New Years resolutions. What are your?



Christmas 2015

 

 This Christmas was one of my least favorite Christmases it was so busy and chaotic we were out of the Christmas spirit before it even got here. My crew sighed at the thought we were going to have to leave our house and be on the go again. Now how pitiful is that? We should be thankful that we are blessed with all these loving people but we couldn't see the blessing because we were to tired of being busy. Tragic I'd say!!! So this is all I got its not much because like I said we were all over it.

 

 

 

 

 

Mamaw Lillie and her great grandkids

 

Mauri was a big help and my high point of this year's scrooge Christmas.

I love cooking and baking and when my kids are in there joining in it makes my heart extremely full.

 

Christmas Eve tradition:

Jesus's Birth Story

 

Santa came

 

I didn't do China this year I had these left over paper plates and napkins from last year.

 

Taking down the tree...

my mom got me the snowman ornament right after Rhett was born and this year Maci drew my name in our ornament exchange tradition and she made my cry after opening the one she got me.

I love my H5 crew and she chose an ornament after my own heart.



and that's all I got. See I told yal my crew was just done. But I have made a promise to myself this year we are slowing down and if the school doesn't like it I got a bless your heart for them. Sports is not my #1 priority and I cant control what other people do but I do know I refuse to live for sports while missing out on what is really important in life. Peace Out

Shooting some B-ball...

outside of school...

Sorry I just had to

 

WARNING: picture overoad

Mauri had her Pee Wee basketball game at Riverfield last weekend.

She may be the smallest one on the court but she is ready to play and came to win.

Maci has been playing for years now so that's all Mauri knows she has been going to all of her practices and games for years now and she has had 3 years of intermural basketball before this.

She had to take a picture of her shoes and said: Tip Toeing in my Jordans

She wouldn't tell a sole where she go her shoes. Everyone was asking her and she replied its a secret I don't want anyone else to get them. We all know Mauri is just like her Momma and couldn't wear some ugly shoes so she hunted and found these. 

 

Maci & Paige:

I owe a huge thank you to these 2 for taking all of the pictures and videoing the game for me

I love these 2 girls

 

We love our favorite Coach Chad

 

Rhett is to young to play but he has been at the boys practices and supporting them all the way

 

When she is nervous shooting Free Throws

Just look how little she looks

 

Getting some air in her air jordans 

The game came to an end with the score 4-4

{Bragging moment: Mauri made 3 of those points}

We had to go into overtime and no one scored so they took 5 off the team and lined them up to shoot free throws to see who had the most and whoever had the most would be the winner. It came down to Mauri being the last person and so far no one has made a single free throw so it was all on Mauri's shoulders. Talk about nervous I was so nervous and I can only imagine what she was thinking.

So here she goes:

She made it!!!!! WE won the Game

 

Her team coming out congratulating her.

This team is a great group of girls

 

Mauri & Elle

These girls have came along way from their first intermural basketball games

 



Rhett's first deer

Rhett and Nick have been hunting and while Rhett was so excited they waited and thankfully one came out. A doe came out and Rhett waited for the buck to follow but in the middle got a call about a cow in trouble his head was stuck in a gate so Nick told Rhett if he was going to shoot then he needed to shoot because they had to leave and get the cows head out of a gate. He took one shot and that doe was down and he was on cloud nine.
