OK so, I haven't updated for awhile so I shall tell you a little tid bit about our lives this past 3 months.

So Christmas was great!! We had a Finley Party a couple of weeks before Christmas. Unfortunatly it snowed pretty hard that day so Jen's family wasn't able to amke it. We partied hard with Paul and his fam though. It's always fun to get together with them! Then we loaded up the ol Pilot and spent Christmas at my mom's. All the brothers were there, we played games, the kids were up to their ears in wrapping paper. So much fun!

I have so many cute pics to share, but after an extensive search party went through the house, cars and local wal mart, the memory card to my camera if forever lost. A moment of silence for 1/2 of Averi's life......

Let's see, for New Year's we had friends over and cooked crab, shrimp, and steaks and stuffed ourselves til we could hardly move. Then our good frends from St. George came to stay. FUN! Any one who knows me knows I love games and so do the Rowley's! So we had a blast!

Jan. was our recovery month, recovery from Christmas, Averi's dr bills started rolling in, we didn't do a whole lot. I have started a little group that gets together once a month and does a craft. LOVE IT! I am always looking for new ideas, so if you have any send them my way. I'll post pics when I get a new memory card. We have done modge podge stars, paper bag books, growth charts, birthday calendars, but we need fresh ideas! I love it, it's my time to get away with the girls, and i get a sense of accomplishment to see what I've made.

Went to the cousins party last weekend. So good to see everyone. We had 20 show up which was pretty good. I don't know if the Mandrin like us or not, but I sure had fun.
Parker's 5th birthday is on Sat. wow it goes so fast! He is having his first friends party, funny how you worry when you are a parent. I hope kids show up for his party, I hope he has fun. He has been to several friends parties that had pinatas so now he thinks your party is not complete without one. Now that I think about it, really, what party is complete without a pinata? They just make life a little funner.

I also started going to the gym and am not geting the results I want. I go 10-12 hrs a week, I have decided to change my goals and instead of focusing on the end result, I am trying to lift more or pedal faster, or run farther. I am still pretty discouraged though. Anyone have any ideas to get me through the funk? I'd love to hear some feedback!

That's the Steve Finley clan in a nutshell. Will write again soon! Ta Ta
