Reviewing Last Year's Resolutions

So, here are my resolutions from last year with my comments on how I think I did.


1. Studying scriptures everyday--Hmmm....well, I know I didn't do this one, but I think I did an okay job with it. The hardest time for me to keep up with this is when we go on vacation. I think I need to find a better routine.
2. Praying everyday--We did quite well with this as a family, but I'm still struggling with it personally. I can usually remember to pray before bed, but I have a hard time in the morning. That could be because I don't wake up until one of my children wakes me up. Again, I think I need a better routine.
3. Journaling every week--I think I average closer to once a month rather than once a week, but I'm still trying.
4. Keeping up with my house (I know this can be futile, but I'm going to try. :)--I've been getting better, but I still have my days.
5. Making lunches everyday for Daddy--I did much better with this this past year than the previous one, but I still need to keep working at it. I have even started giving him breakfast most days when I do make his lunches.
6. Putting playing time with the kids first--Definitely still working on this one. I think sometimes I just get overwhelmed with all the things I expect myself to do. I need to continually remind myself of my priorities.
7. Making a meal calendar and sticking to it--This one has probably been the best one for me. Sometimes I rearrange the meals on the calendar, but I have been doing a pretty good job at making the calendar and shopping for it.
8. Getting out of credit card debt (This should be accomplished by the end of the summer. Yay!)--Well, that didn't quite go according to plan, which kind of leads into how we did with #9. 
9. Sticking to our budget--Did really well for awhile but they got kind of lax and started using the cards. Now, we're back to working on getting out of debt. I'm determined to stay out this time! :)
10. Getting into better shape (i.e. walking or playing Wii Fit 5-6 days/week)--I did really well with this before I got pregnant and even for the first few months of the pregnancy. Once the weather started getting nasty, I stopped walking and since we sold our TV, I couldn't do my Wii Fit. I get a little bit of exercise when I do laundry (laundry facility is just across the apartment complex) or go grocery shopping.

mornning prayers are hard for me to. I stopped worrying about doing my routines on my vacations and at least got rid of the guilt. I'm good at picking them back up when we get home or company leaves. Are you going to post your 2010 goals? I'm still working on mine. They don't feel right yet.

Friends' Birthday

Image
In June, we were invited to a birthday party for twin girls who are Tink's friends from church. They have a big family and most of them live around here, so they had a big party and BBQ at the park. The kids (big and small ;) had a great time! They played a fabulous version of Duck, Duck, Goose! The person who was it carried around a pail of water. When they said Duck, they would sprinkle a little water on the person, but when they said Goose, they would dump the entire bucket of water on the person. It was hilarious to watch! The girl getting the water dumped on her head has the same name as one of my daughters. I just love the expression on her face. Priceless! Tink was laughing so hard when she got to dump the water on a big kid's head. I wish you could see her face. It was awesome. Tink eating a hot dog Skinja playing on the giant slip n slide

Pictures of the Belly....FINALLY!!!

Image
Okay, so now that we are 38 1/2 weeks along (as of the date of the pictures), we finally got some pictures of the baby bump....well, it's more of a baby mountain, I think, but at any rate, here they are. Enjoy! See what I mean--it's huge! ;) It's like a little seat for Mya. Here are some new pictures of the cute little booger. She just keeps growing and learning new words. She speaks in sentences and climbs on everything. She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands. And, inevitably, she has learned the word NO. Sometimes it drives me nuts because she says it no matter what you ask her and no matter if she really does want something or not. I know that all kids are like that, but I kept hoping she wouldn't learn it. Oh well! C'est la vie! :) She learned this from her daddy! :) A cute picture of daddy and daughter at a Primary activity. We bought her a tricycle, and she absolutely loves it! It is a little big, but she can grow into it. Plus, it is adjustable for ...
