New Year, New Blog

ByElise Hird

My wonderful husband, whom I just talked up in my last blog, has made a great family blog site for us. I am so excited about this blog. Kas has starting blogging and so has Stephen’s dad. Steve always has had a blog, but now I think he will do some fun things here.

Our New Year started out w/ a bang, continued w/ not much more than a mild hum, and then (at least mine) has fizzed. I got sick yesterday w/ a vengence, a bad cold and stomach flu. Luckily today I am on the upswing, and I’m sure by tomorrow I will be ready to start off the new year in style.

We started at Mo’s house for Emma’s b-day. There I took my favorite picture of Brecken of the season.

Then we went to the Coria’s to ring in the new year. Monique graciously kept Kas and Antoinette at her house to play with their cousins while Zo and I went to pick up Stephen to go to the Coria’s. We celebrated with Cuba and left to get kids to bed early.

In the morning, Zo said she wanted to go to Olive Garden for breakfast. We went to Paradise Bakery instead and had a nice quiet breakfast before most of the city was awake.

Over all the year has been good, other than getting sick. School starts again next week and it’s time to get back into some routines and maybe start some new ones.

    I know it’s late.  I think that is when I get my best inspiration, when the whole house is quiet and I’m not thinking about who needs to be where and when.  In fact, I think if I went back to all of my posts and checked out the time they were done over half…

     Ok, here is a 2 for 1. I have been asked a few times where ducklips came from. Emily also wanted to hear some Kasmir stories. Well, this is all one and the same. Most of you know that Kas was around for almost 4 years before we had the girls. Everything in Steve’s…

    There are so many things I need to blog about but this one won out in the end.  Maybe I’ll get to the rest, but no one hold their breath. Yesterday Stephen got to play Santa at our wards primary party.  He was actually pretty excited about doing this.  I wish I had been there…

    Ever since the first time I picked up a camera, I’ve been in love.  I don’t mean a little point and shoot.  I mean a really 35mm slr.  In particularly, my dad’s little old Yashika.  I don’t think they are even made anymore.  That little camera taught me to see things in a completely different…

    So I know I haven’t posted for a while.  I think it’s a mixture of the heat, exercise (although I’ve heard that is supposed to increase your energy level), and the increase of children’s activities, but I am so tired lately.  I have been going to bed at like 9 or 10 every night.  Yes,…

  1. I’m so sorry that you got sick! I can definitely relate, unfortunately. It was funny reading Steve’s blog on how this came about because I could not understand half of what he said. Computer jargon is a headache! Get well!!!

  2. I like it, This is a great site. And again thanks for the great pics. Those mean so much when you’re not around to see it in person. Hope you are feeling al better.

  4. Happy New Year. It took a minute for me to realize that discussion and comments meant the same thing. oh well!
