Our Big Announcement......

We are moving! Ryan received a job promotion yesterday! Congrats to him! It is really bittersweet! We LOVE Utah but.....we are moving back to Indiana with all of our family! Ryan starts his new position on Feb. 1st so he has to leave in about 2 1/2 weeks. Hopefully our house will go up for sale soon and we can find a new house. Not sure when the girls and I will be going but we will probably be gone by the end of March!

Happy New Year from the The Maxwell Family!!!!

The New Year

Wow...it is New Years Eve again! Time for those resolutions that I need to try and stick to again! I am going to post of my resolutions so that I can be held accountable for them! I feel that last year was a really good year for our family! We have come a long way! We have been through a lot as a family. We met in Indiana, moved to Mississippi, moved back to Indiana and now we live in Utah! Our family has adjusted well all of these times and each year brings us great things! I miss being around my family but we really love it in Utah. I think it makes the five of us closer as a family! So, listed below are some of my resolutions!



1. This year I become a lifetime member of Weight Watchers after losing 25 lbs. and I refuse to let it come back on this year!



2. I just finished a month of boot camp and have P90X at home that I am going to start on Monday or Tuesday and stick with it.



3. I am going to be more patient with my kids and be a better mom.



4. I am going to be a better wife!


5. Get organized (which usually isn't a problem) and STAY (which is a problem) organized!


6. I am totally cheating on this one but last year a friend of mine decided to write something that she is thankful for in a journal everyday! I am totally going to try and do this! Thanks Hollie for the idea!

I may come back and add more but that is it for now! Have a safe New Year!

OMG

Ryan took this picture of me tonight and said I needed to make a post titled OMG! Yes, I did go out in public in this outfit with no makeup on! I think he really liked the baggy pants with boots!! I thought black was supposed to be slimming!

Snow Fun

I guess the snow is better late than never! I would have been nice to have a white Christmas but is still soooo pretty! The girls went out in it for a little while today and played! It was sooo cold!



Ryan had to get out and shovel! We still haven't broke down a bought a snow blower!

Ahhhhhhhhh....snow angels!

Day 25 - 25 Days of Christmas

Here are the girls Christmas morning! They are soooo spoiled! They really had a great time and were glad to see that Santa came!

Here is Ryan playing Bop It Bounce...one of the games that each girl got!


I am very grateful for the Christmas that we had this year! It was also so nice to be able to have my parents here to spend it with too! Also, thanks to my husband...you really spoil me!
