Well I can't believe it!! I'm almost done with my first college degree. Two weeks left and I graduate!!!!!
Then it's off to Germany!!! I am so excited for this trip! The things we are going to see are what some people only dream about!! My kids are so excited too, they keep talking about what we are going to do, where we are going! Madi is excited to see the castles! MJ wants to find a cool sword! It's going to be amazing!
Just in case you are wondering where all we are going- Germany; Milan, Italy, or London, England; Switzerland; and Austria! Not only that but we are there for 2 1/2 weeks so we don't have to rush around, it's actually going to be relaxing!
Then summer starts back at home, in good 'ol Utah. I hope when we get back it will actually have stopped raining and we can see the sun! I'm sick of this cold, wet weather!
Don't be too jealous!!

Was it Luck?
Ya Who Baby! Max got the job and starts Monday! We are about to start a whole new chapter in our life! He has made so many sacrifices to get to where he is now! He completely changed careers just about 3 years ago! That is not only difficult but scary, but it has finally paid off! We are going to start reaping the rewards now!!
But was it Luck? Maybe a little but I think Heavenly Father has directed Max all along this journey! There is no way we could have done this on own, he inspired Max to begin with and now this promotion came just at the right time!! The way this has all worked out is amazing to me!

Love is in the air!!
I can't believe it's been since Christmas since I wrote anything. Where are my days going???
I don't know why I feel this way this year because I never have, but I am so excited for Valentines Day. It may be because my kids valentine cards are all done and have been for weeks!! Thanks to Grandma!!! No last minute runs to the store for more cards or candy. Nothing, all done here.
I'm really not sure why I'm looking forward to this month. I have never been a romantic when it comes to Valentines Day so I'm not sure what has changed. Usually I think it's a dumb holiday, but not this year.
Life is so busy for me right now. I don't think I have another minute in my life to give to anyone. Full-time job, tax season has started, & I'm working Monday and Wednesday nights and then Saturday all day, then school which requires about 10 hours of work a week. Don't forget I have kids and a husband. And then my calling at church; which we have a party to plan for Relief Society activity. So don't be coming to me looking for anything.
I think life may be turning around for me. This last year I have really struggled! I'm not going to go into it but for some reason it has been very gloomy on my horizon. No real answers to why, I just didn't have much of an outlook in life. Things are a changin' and I can feel it.
It's not happening over night but a little everyday seems to be getting better. I had a great talk with a dear friend of mine and she pointed out that it's my attitude that needed to change. That is easier said then done, believe me.
Well I'm trying to change my attitude but at the same time I still don't want too. I feel like life is tough enough to get thru right now and I just don't want to. But I am going to try. Life seems to be getting a little easier like I said. Let's just hope it keeps going this way!
Max has a great opportunity ahead and please keep us in your prayers because if it goes through we will get to receive many blessings from it. More ways then anybody can ask. Max has worked so hard these last few years with his career change and hopefully he will get to reap some of the reward. Cross your fingers for us!!
Max jr is turning 10 years old next week!!! I can't believe it. He is getting so big and so interesting. I look at him every day and see my little baby boy! It is so weird!
As for Madi, what can I say. She is still just as cute and bright as ever. She puts a smile on my face every day, just like her Dad. She has her Dad's humor and it's so much fun!
I have more to write but it's late and I need to get up early!

Christmas
So I'm sluffing church today, shhh don't tell anyone!! My life is so crazy!! I use to think I was busy but now I'm really busy!! I have a sore throat and I think it's because I'm doing too much!!! I told Max today that I was not going to church and he had to take the kids. He gave me some serious grieve but I told him that if I went to church today I would have a break down next week and I wasn't joking!!
Last night was a ward Christmas party and Max & I were in the play that was put on by a wonderful lady in the ward who is a drama teacher at a local high school. She brought out the best in all of us! Only max and Brother Woodbury had any experience, the rest of us had NONE! We were all sooooooo nervous!! Well it went off without a hitch and everyone was laughing and just loved it! I almost got cut and lost a part because I couldn't remember my lines, but I didn't give up and I was a STAR**** last night!!! AOUHHHHHH! Max was very proud of me! I don't think I could have done it without him though! He was giving me pointers right up until I ran back out onto the stage! I'm glad it's done but in the end I really had a fun time!
Christmas is two weeks away and we have nothing, notta thing!! The tree is put up and that's about it. We really haven't been in the Christmas spirit! I think it's because we have been practicing the play every Saturday for the last 6 weeks, too busy with other stuff and just not into it this year. I think we need to do something for someone else because that is what the true spirit of Christmas is all about. I'm gonna have to think of something.
Last year I could get enough of the Christmas lights, the music and the feeling. This year I'm having a hard time listening to Christmas music. I don't know what is wrong with me?!!!
School is going well! Still plugging away!! I will be done with my associates degree in accounting on May 30th!! I think I will start a count down or something! Right after that I'm going on a very needed vacation and I'm very excited about it!!
Well this year has been a bumpy one and I'm glad it's almost over. This next year I hope will bring our family much joy and happiness!! We have a lot of things planned! My company that I work for is doing better and things look like they are going up! And Max is up for a promotion at work! He still has to interview, but please keep him in your thoughts!! He really wants this!!!
Have a great Merry Christmas!!

Thanksgiving
I can't believe it is almost Thanksgiving!! Time passes so quickly!! Christmas is around the corner and then it will be 2010!!! Who thought we would even live past Y2K??
Anyway, Sunday our speakers in our Church Ward spoke about being grateful and I think it touched a lot of people. The last speaker was Brother Penrod and he actually sat down and typed a list of everything he could think of that he was grateful for. Many types we forget what little things we are so blessed with and we take for granted. He had over 300, so this inspired me to do the same but since I don't have an hour to sit here and do this I just wanted to do a few. It was interesting because Brother Penrod stated that it doesn't always have to be spiritual and he made such an impacted. So here is my list and I encourage you to try to do the same or just next time you are driving you can turn off the radio and think of as many things you are grateful for! Good luck!!

Blessed By Coincidence-----
So just to make my life a bit more crazy, I have had to scramble and get Madilynn into a different kindergarten with less then a week before school starts!!
Long story as short as it can be: Our local school offers all day kindergarten to those who request it and can test high on a scoring test, the others are low scoring and the two are combined. Our principle last year, awesome Mr Cooper assured me that as long as Madi scored high she would be in. This was a concern for me because Madi is ready already and half day kindergarten will be so boring and a waste of time for her. Well yesterday i got a call from the school that stated Madi was not going to be in all day kindergarten like I was told. See we got a new principle and he has decided to make all new changes and he feels all of the students in all day kindergarten should be low scoring kids!! I can See his point on this but it really put me in a hard spot! Madi tested 3rd out of all of the kids tested for kindergarten so therefore she is too smart to go into this class.
So after not falling asleep last night until 2 AM and stressing over what to do I started making calls. Her daycare that she loves to go to offered to take her back with 2 openings left and would bus her to two elementary schools, Bellview and Edgemont. Whew I was saved even though this is not what I ever wanted!!! Well I made calls to these two schools and since it's 5 days until kindergarten starts they are full and not allowing any more permits! I started to cry again! Ms. Jenny at Skool Days (Madi's daycare) had 1 last idea but it may not work.
She had another parent that wanted her child to be bussed to Alta View Elementary but was told they needed at least 1 more child to make it worth the trip. So Ms Jenny said call Alta View see if you can get in and she would check to see if the owner of the Daycare would keep the agreement and bus to that school. Well it just so happens that Madi's grandpa and grandma live in that boundary. So I got in with no trouble!!!
So we are saved!!! Madi will be going to Alta View Elementary! So what's the big deal about this right? Well I called a friend to tell her of my crazy adventure and she told me that not only will Madi be going to one of the top 10 schools of Utah but they have a ALPS class as well. This is for students that are academic achievers and they help them progress faster and more in depth. This is perfect, all I wanted. Madi in a school that will help challenge her and help her grow in her strengths!! I'm pretty sure we will keep her there for all of elementary with such great choices. Not only that but grandpa is really only 2 blocks away. In a year or two she can just walk over to grandpa's if she needs to! This option was just by coincidence and now I'm really lucky to have what I got blessed with today. If you would have told me last night that this is where she was going to end up I wouldn't have believed it!!! I'm very excited for the opportunity that Madilynn will have with this, I hope she will enjoy it and do well!
Oh and just to top it off Madi only has 16 kids in her class at Alta View, at Fremont where she would have gone there would have been 25 -28 kids! Honestly, I can't believe I got so lucky today!!!
Thank you Heavenly Father!!!!!!

IS IT TIME ALREADY??/
I can't believe SUMMER is already over! What happened??? My kids had a great summer, they went to McDonald's, went swimming and played with their friends. I think our Wii got more attention then our dog Charlie! Now that's sad!! We had Wii tournaments in our house almost on a daily basis. Marquie and Rylee Jensen came over once a week and they had so much fun playing! I'm glad my kids had so much fun!!
So school starts on Monday for MJ and next Monday for Madilynn, I can't believe she will be in kindergarten!!!!! My baby is growing up soooo fast! MJ keeps asking big grown up questions and daddy and him had a talk the other night!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHH! This is just toooo crazy for me!! I can't believe how fast life goes. People warn you but we don't listen, and then we are stuck with kids that grow up toooo fast!!!
School for me has been absolutely crazy for me! I have an algebra class and if it weren't for two awesome girls, Bridget and Valerie I don't think I would have made it! This week is my final for the class and i really hope I do well! i hate algebra and I don't know why people have to take it!!! it's stupid and I don't know when I will ever use it. I said the same thing in high school and it's still true to this day!!
Life is pretty good for the Iwaniec home! We are blessed with everything we need, we may not have everything we want but we have everything we need. We went to Flaming Gorge over the 24th of July with my side of the family. My sister Stef and her family, my brother Ryan and his family, my sister Buges and her boyfriend Zeb and then my brother Tim and his girlfriend Laura came up from Arizona. We really had a lot of fun. Her is a link to a video my brother put together, it's fun to watch even though you don't know these people!! I hope we can do this trip again next year!

One thing I'm very excited for is in June of next year we are going to Germany, Switzerland and Italy on a 2 1/2 week trip!! I honestly can't wait!!!!! What an amazing trip this will be, I think MJ and Madi will love it! Madi will love all of the castles for sure! i think MJ will love all of the structures and art in Italy. Truly I can't wait!
Life for me seems so busy, many times I just want to give up, sit down and never get in front of this computer ever again. The only problem is that we told our kids that when I am all done with my degree we will take them on a cruise, just our family to celebrate! Now I can't give up because that's all MJ talks about! The funny thing is we have Germany first so I don't think he realizes how much school I have to get done first! Anyway, wish me luck on my life adventures!!

No more 3-D Pictures
Well 5 of you seem to be interested in our crazy family life so I thought I would keep my promise of pictures.
Yes, this is Madi and Sophie climbing the rock wall!! They made it half way up!!
Can you believe I married this nut!!We went to DisneyWorld and had a fabulous time. I have to say that Florida is soooooo hot and sticky. I dont' see how anyone could live there... My sister in-law is always cold and she doesn't sweat so she was happy. Me on the other hand could stop sweating and it was embarrassing!!! I have to say that the best day were not at DisneyWorld though. The Florida Aquarium and Clearwater beach were the best! I recommend everyone to go there if they can. The beach was beautiful and the water was soooo warm. Everyone was in the water for over an hour!
This is Madi and Sophie jumping the waves!!Universal Studios was a blast, no one really was there, no lines and just a great time! My brother Ryan had never been there and he was very impressed.
DisneyWorld was fun, we went to the Animal Kingdom, MGM Studios (now called Disney-something) and the Magic Kingdom. I have to be honest here everyone, DisneyLand is way better. I think you get a more magical feeling at DisneyLand! The parks in DWorld are just to big. It's an adventure just to find the right bus to get you to the right park.
Anyway, I don't ever really seeing us going back to DWorld again. I would much rather spend my money at Disneyland or somewhere more tropical.
I have to tell you that this other cute girl in the picture with Madi is her cousin Sophie. They were two peas in a pod! They were inseparable, they never fought and they had so much love for each other! We were so blessed because none of the kids ever complained! They were all on their best behavior and everyone just had a great time.
Here are a few of my favorite pictures.
We got rained out on our last day at Magic Kingdom. My fun little brain thought it would be fun to save this as our last big day and really make the memories. But after about 2 hours of straight down poor we gave up. The fireworks were already cancelled and none of the kids cared really anymore. They were just happy to play with their new toys.

Mommy and MJ!
If you wanted to know: we went with my brother Ryan and his wife Mandi, their daughters Ruby and Sophie. It was fun because as we were standing in line at pirates of the Caribbean Ryan turned to me and said "do you feel like brother and sister?" I said "no, more like good friends". He said he agreed! Pretty cool to know this because we have been through so much in our crazy family up bringing. Out of all 10 of us kids we feel more like friends then sibling rivalry. If you would have asked me 20 years ago if I would ever consider my brother my friend I would have said no. Life gives us so much hope!
We had a great time!!

April has Sprung
I can't believe it is April!!!
I survived the tax season!!! I have a couple more to finish up but it shouldn't take to long. I have to admit that doing all of that while working and going to school was a bit too much for me. I never like to admit that I can't handle everything, but really it was a bit overwhelming. A couple of times I thought I was going to have a breakdown!!
I have learned something very important though. My house is still livable even with the mess, dust and dirt!! Really you can still survive in a dirty house!! This has been one of the hardest things for me to get used too! I like a very clean house all the time!! But I would look at the 2 inches of dust on top of the TV stand and say too bad and I'm reading a book to Madi instead!!
So a life lesson has been learned!!
As for this month, I made it thru one of the hardest class I will have to take this semester, I hope and think I did well! Cammy really helped me and I don't think I would have made it without her!! She is a lifesaver in many ways.
I had a great time going to our annual overnight scrapbook. Laree, Allison, Laura and myself had a great time. We all got a lot of memories scrapbooked. We all made it to 2 am, but I was the first to hit the hay! I was soooooo tired! Laree was the craziest, she was back up at 5:30 the next morning!! It was still a lot of fun!
I'm very excited for next month!!! We are going to Florida to Disney World and the beach. I will post some pictures for sure! My great husband is allowing us to go, he is pretty tired of Disneyland but some how I talked him into it again, just on a bigger scale! Just to say, I will have to pay up for it though!!
Max and Madi are doing great! Max is growing in his reading and right now he is writing a book. It's fun to hear his crazy mind! Madi is doing really well in Challenger, her teachers really want her to go to Challenger for kindergarten. She currently is in the top of her class. She is trying so hard to read books. She can read most 3 letter words and can read a few 4 letter words. We need to work on site words. Both are having fun playing soccer. MJ really enjoys it and Madi loves to score goals for the other team! Hey, at least she is scoring, right?
I guess I wanted to talk today! I will post some pictures next month!! Have a great spring!!!
I survived the tax season!!! I have a couple more to finish up but it shouldn't take to long. I have to admit that doing all of that while working and going to school was a bit too much for me. I never like to admit that I can't handle everything, but really it was a bit overwhelming. A couple of times I thought I was going to have a breakdown!!
I have learned something very important though. My house is still livable even with the mess, dust and dirt!! Really you can still survive in a dirty house!! This has been one of the hardest things for me to get used too! I like a very clean house all the time!! But I would look at the 2 inches of dust on top of the TV stand and say too bad and I'm reading a book to Madi instead!!
So a life lesson has been learned!!
As for this month, I made it thru one of the hardest class I will have to take this semester, I hope and think I did well! Cammy really helped me and I don't think I would have made it without her!! She is a lifesaver in many ways.
I had a great time going to our annual overnight scrapbook. Laree, Allison, Laura and myself had a great time. We all got a lot of memories scrapbooked. We all made it to 2 am, but I was the first to hit the hay! I was soooooo tired! Laree was the craziest, she was back up at 5:30 the next morning!! It was still a lot of fun!
I'm very excited for next month!!! We are going to Florida to Disney World and the beach. I will post some pictures for sure! My great husband is allowing us to go, he is pretty tired of Disneyland but some how I talked him into it again, just on a bigger scale! Just to say, I will have to pay up for it though!!
Max and Madi are doing great! Max is growing in his reading and right now he is writing a book. It's fun to hear his crazy mind!
