Its Who We Are: 2018

Well, A LOT has happened since the last time I've posted on this blog. As you can see, We've got our Little Carrie Ann and Love every single bit of her sweet heart.
So, why the long hiatus and why start posting now???

At the Last General Women's Conference, Our Prophet, Russel M. Nelson challenged the Women of the church to Participate in a 10-day fast from social media and from any other negative or impure media. President Nelson encouraged women to notice how the fast affects their priorities and then to record and act on spiritual impressions they receive. After my fast, I realized how Facebook and other sights were affecting me. The one thing that I do love about Facebook is that it keeps a record of what my Family is doing, much like a journal or blog. So, this is my attempt to document the things our family is doing.

In the past, our New Year tradition has been just sit around, wait until midnight and go to bed.

Blah, Blah, Blah...

Growing up, the Barneys would get together each New Years Eve for a fantastic party. Aunt Diane would serve crab and we has such a fun time with all the family.

So in attempt to make New Years Eve more eventful for my Family...

We had a Harry Potter Fest and Movie Marathon.It was so much fun.

I made Meat Pies and Ethan helped with the table decor.

I've learned that Carrie LOVES playing with dough.

Brett made Carrie a play rolling pin for Christmas and she has spent hours and hours rolling out silly putty, dough and just about anything she can get her hands on.
