Ooopppsss, let that month get away from me!
Before I start getting offending emails, I realized I had better get something up here! Well, believe it or not, the Wearmouths are BUSY. I know, I know, I'm a frigging broken record but I really don't try to busy and am a lazy, just wanna read a book kind of person. Lol!
Sooo...we had all our parties; New Year's and the Hart "Better late than never" Christmas party.
Let's start with NYE shall we?! In case you've been under a rock, I don't "party" anymore. Haven't in years and YEARS. Let's just say NYE 2010 was a re-birth for me...into having too many cocktails and too many "dance-offs". Well, it's been a really stressful time for me people and I guess I needed to blow off some steam to say the least! Fun was had by all and it was a full house with crazy parents and party animal kids! Too much fun and I'm good for a very, VERY long time.
The day after my "re-birth" my family came to stay...lol! We had my dad and Sherry, Uncle Dave and Linda stay with us for a few nights which was awesome. We'd been really out of touch and it was great to reconnect with the Harts! Cousin's Trev, Kel and gorgeous Josie-Bean came for Sunday and we all had Christmas/Rowen's 2nd birthday party. Gramma Sherry made the best cake as usual. Hot Wheels!!!!! Sweet!
The kids got to hang out with the family which was great. AND Jorja didn't have to share Josie with anyone, so she was happy.
Jorja started skiing the beginning of January again. Her and Scott head to Nakiska at the crack of dawn and make it home for dinner. Scott gets a whole day of skiing, sometimes with her and sometimes with his new ski buddies. Or the "cool" parents. The one's who can keep up with him, or mostly, who want to try. :)
Jorja has lost her second bottom tooth already and was she ever excited. She asked Scott to pull it out. It came out on the 3rd try and she didn't even care really. Crazy! She also loves to "free ski" with Scott and go into the half-pipe and off of hills....so help me...
Rowen is an insane little 2 yr.old, but not as insane as my brother Jeff was, for those of you who knew Jeff. Just thought I'd make that clear, lol! He doesn't talk but gets his point across, no problem. He and I just started mom and baby swimming. Poor kid, it's his first time doing ANYTHING out of the house that is structured. Jorja was in a million things by 2! ;) He is just hitting the terrible twos but he still has his "momma's baby" days. The woman who marries him is totally going to have an overbearing mom to watch out for. Ha!
I am doing great. I saw Dr. Wonger last week and everything is the same as it was 2 months ago! Everything is in normal range, except platelets, which are just below at 126 (normal is 150-400). Yay me!!!! I've decided to get back to the gym and like everything else I do, I'm an idiot about it, and now am "enjoying" Pump It Up! Because after not doing anything for two years, I need to be doing squats with a bar bell, then push ups and lunges with free weights, whilst listening to really bad techno music.
Egad.
Anywho, I"m looking forward to heading to Saskatoon for one of my usual 24 hour trips this weekend to go to my cousin's reception. Sat. to Sunday to catch up with the Olson clan; love it!
So much more going on but I think Jorja just barfed everywhere so I must be off...oh lord...

Rowen enjoying the "shaving kit" Gramma Sherry and Grampa Hart gave him for Christmas.
Well, Jorja enjoyed it ON Rowen...
Happy Birthday big boy!
Just like his sister, this kid loves to walk around in his ski wear!
Trevor giving the gears to Uncle Denny! Classic.
Josie getting some loving from Uncle Dennis!
I bought Rowen cleaning supplies for his birthday. The vacuum really kinda worked; he LOVED it!
Josie and Rowen were pretty confused about who was their Grampa but Rowen quickly learned to ask both of them for whatever he needed. He didn't care! lol!
Jorjie loves her auntie Kelly!
This is to remind Scott that he should stop being a ruiner.
Self proclaimed dance-off champ. I did a tap rendition to my favorite Black Keys song. Mostly.
THIS picture is to remind ME that NYE was a one time event. Yikes!
NYE pretty ladies...I use the term "ladies" loosely!
My crazy neighbour and NYE partner in crime! She hauled that upstairs all by herself and I now call her "CRAZY". ;)

Happy New Year people!
Just wanted to send a quick note to say Happy New Year. We had an AWESOME Christmas; great Christmas Eve party and pictures of the Wearmouth party to come!
We are having another party tonight and then the Hart clan here until Monday...I think I'll stop having parties for a few weeks after...lol!
Looking forward to seeing all of you "in real life" in 2011!
Much love,
The Wearmouths
ps-the pictures on the previous post were of the Schwartz annual Christmas Shaker...it wasn't letting me put subheads under photos...

One more sleep, only one more!
Wow, it's finally here. Just kidding, I blinked on May long and now it's Christmas Eve...egad! I am slowly getting prepared for the Wearmouth clan Christmas Eve party. So much food my goodness! I think we need more wine; or maybe that's just my own little Christmas present.
Anyway...things are good, the kids are rotten and so is Scott and I, of course and as ALWAYS, am my angel-self.
So there you go, that about wraps it up for the year....many blessings have to come to our family the past year. And for that, I'm grateful.
God bless and Merry Christmas!
Love, the Wearmouths

Holy Hannah Batman, Christmas is in, like, 20 minutes!
Look how happy we were just to meet Dale!
Passed out while I went to the bathroom...so tired!
So happy to be at Disney!
It really is magical...
Still taking self-photos!
One VERY happy girl!
Wow, did 2010 really happen?! Some days I wonder, but I think it's coming to an end. How do I say this properly? Don't let the door hit you on the way out 2010!!!!!Now, in retrospect, 2010 was MUCH better than 2009, but 2011 is coming on fast and so am I! How do I keep up? Thank you for asking?! I am the Energizer Bunny. I am a fighter. I am a strong woman. I am loved. I am: mumma.
Being a mom is very hard for me. I have little, to no, patience. I am VERY independant (stubborn?!!?!? Bull-headed??? Now that's going a little to far!). I love quiet and reading. I have a temper.
BUT, when Scott and I got to take Jorjie on a once in a lifetime trip to Disneyland last week, THAT was worth it all. She was soooooo happy, so good, so loved and so were Scott and I. It really was a trip of a lifetime. I have never been (have I mentioned my sob story of not going with my parents when the WON a trip when I was 6 or 7?! I can hear my dad swearing at this as I type....HA!) so it was just as magical for me. The Christmas lights were up and to watch Sleeping Beauty's Castle light up with Christmas lights and then watch the fireworks from there, was, well, perfect. Of course I got teary (even the Grinch get's teary people) and was never happier with our decision to go....ahhhhhh, Jorja was so happy.
We even had a great couple of days with Scott's sister Lauren and Uncle David. They took us to the Getty Villa and Santa Monica Pier. Jorja is in LOVE with roller coasters, drop of doom rides and is a total thrill seeker. Scott, of course, was on Cloud 9!
Did I mention she lost her FIRST tooth on this trip?! Yep, on a ride on the Santa Monica Pier! Lauren and I think it was in the Rice Krispy Square she had right after but makes for a better story on a ride!
I'm still tired from it and was sick with love for my baby boy. I secretly wanted to come home first thing Saturday morning but we both survived....I won't do that again. Too hard leaving my handsome boy, but worth it this time for my beautiful girl!
A special thanks to Gramma Carla and Grampa Tom for taking SUCH wonderful care of my baby boy!
My health is good; I don't even go back for over two months to see Dr. Wonger!
We are hosting Christmas Eve, New Years and a Hart get together on the 2nd. Damn rights I better be feeling better...yikes! Scott and I are looking forward to hosting in our new home, it really is gorgeous.
Enough chatty, here are some pix from the trip, Jorja's Christmas concert and final dance class!
