Looking back...

Another year has come and gone and it's time to look back over the last 12 months.

We've had a fun year, here's a look back at us:
Nathan turned 3 and had his very own Dinosaur birthday.He's learned his colors and knows his alphabet. He's really good at frustrating mom and dad and picking on his sister Audrey. He still loves all things cars, spiderman and dinosaur.

Audrey turned 1 and loves everything girly! She had learned to walk, has gotten a few teeth (4) and is learning new words although she still doesn't talk a lot. Audrey is definitely a girly girl and loves being a 'mom' to her babies, but also enjoys playing with her brothers toys. She's also learning to fight back and pick on her brother (she's learned well from him! LOL!!)

Chris is still working for Cache Valley Electric and with his job has done a little traveling around the state this year and also headed to Arizona for a couple days. He has a great time rough housing with Nathan and 'nicely' tossing Audrey around. He continues to enjoy his computer games and has started up playing D&D again with some friends.

I'm still working at Harland Clarke, same old stuff there. I've enjoyed making my kids birthday cakes this last year (we'll see what I can come up with this year), sewing up new and old projects, crocheting and trying new recipes.

Now on to the new year...
I remembered some of the goals for last year, and unfortunately didn't do so well with some of them, but did okay on others. After reading through them, I'll be making all them them again this year. (Maybe one year I'll do well enough that I can take some off! haha!!)

*Gonna work on losing some weight through exercise and eating better. I did lose 10 lbs during July-Sept. (have kept it off too! yay!!) Some of my friends at work and I were doing a 'Biggest Loser' comp, but it kinda flopped. I've got some new videos to use and hope they will help me stay on track along with having a membership at the local fitness center. 

*I'm going to continue sewing/crocheting up some UFO's (Un-Finished Objects/Works in Progress). Still haven't finished up the items I listed last year and have others I've added to the mix. I'm planning on really making a dent in projects this year, so maybe next year this one can be taken off the list.

*I want to do a few 5K's this year including the SLC Susan G Koman's Race for the Cure. Didn't do any of these last year (other then on the treadmill), but want to do 2-3 if not more this year. Since I have a goal of exercising more, I should be able to do this one for sure!!

a new one...or two!!
*Doing better at planting and maintaining my garden. We've put in a garden the last few years, but hope this year to do better at maintaining it.

*Do more scrapbooking!! I've got lots of pictures and I think I'd better start doing something with them, especially since Chris has now invested in it by getting me the Cricut!

and one more,
*Reading my scriptures each day.

I'd better leave it at that! I want to be better at accomplishing more of my goals this year and as is, think these will keep me pretty busy along with things I'll add along the way to do and watching my kiddies grow.
Here's to a great 2010!!

good work at setting goals. My only goal so far is to get through the rest of my six months of pregnancy this year. I have found that I have horrible pregnancies. ie.) morning sickness all 10 months, severe back issues due to a herniated disk in my lower back that pinches a sciatic nerve, and a few other issues. Hopefully we will be done after two kids. I probably would have had more but with rough pregnancies and a miscarriage I fell done and I think my husband agrees. Good luck with all you have planned. I'm a little jealous of your Circut and I would love to go scrapbooking anytime with you. Happy New Year. Love your family picture!!!
