Happy New Year 2012...

Happy New Year! Wow. 2012. That seems so crazy to say. But easier to say than 2011.
Last night we rung in the new year with the Bush family here at our house.

It was nice to be surrounded by family. We ate, and played, and hung out until midnight. Than we all ran out to do some sparklers and bang those pots and pans to ring in the new year. Dailey and Lucy did not make it till midnight. I put them in their bed and crib and they were out.

I am really excited about this new year. I love the beginning of January. I love to get organized, set new goals, and plan. The end of January is another story, but the new year is so, So New and Exciting.

However, I can have a hard time with TIME (new year) too. Time, it passes so quickly, and than I think, I sometimes don't like things to change. I love the ages and stages of my kids. (Most Days)
I know there is fun in the years ahead too. But Man, these are the Days!

Like today at church. Now here is a story for ya. We are now at the 1:00 time. Just setting it up for you. Our kids are wasted. They stayed up all night, eating junk and playing.
We were on time to church. High Five. We sat mid pew. Not so smart. I had Lucy on my lap and Cole had fallen asleep between me and Kevin, head resting on my side. Dailey was on Kevin's lap. Falling asleep drinking a sippy cup. She starts gagging. Surprise Surprise. I toss over the burp cloth. He catches the first little bit in the cloth. Than I whisper. She's going to do more. Just so he can prep for the second blow. She does more. He catches it and takes her out.
Well I think everything is okay and they are just washing their hands and they will be back in. Right. Nope. Kevin comes in without Dailey. Says, We gotta go. He scoops up a sleeping Coleman and I gather all of our puppets and coloring books.
I go out in the hall and there is puke all over the carpet. Dailey is in the bathroom with more all over her. Kevin's suit coat is draped over the garbage can with puke all over it. More is in the sink too.
Lucky for us. My brother Ben, who goes to the ward ahead of us was out in the hall tending to bishopric duties.  We have him hold Lucy. While I clean up Dailey and the bathroom sink. Kevin is cleaning the hall floor just as the other ward is coming out of their classes. We have my friend Corinne and Rachel helping us too!
This definitely happens to us quite often with our little Dailey. So why the long post. Well I never want to forget how eventful church can be and also this time Kevin and my roles were changed. I have been the one in the hall with throw up all over and wondering why the heck he is not coming out to help. :) So it was nice to see the other side.
Anyhow we all came home changed clothes. Kevin and Cole went back to church. He was getting recalled to the Elders Quorum presidency. He was 2nd counselor and now he is 1st. They were going to set them apart today. So he went back with just a white shirt and some old dress pants. Since his suit did not survive the above casualties.

I thought of another reason I like to write this all down. I do enjoy going back and reading it. And another reason is one day when Cole, Day, and Lu are coming home from church early with their little families, cuz little Cole Jr. puked all over, they can see it runs in the family!
