Bringing in the New Year! - Welcome 2011!

Wow!  What a year it has been!  Cooper blessed our lives with happiness, chaos, laughter, stress (at times), and joy.  We LOVE being parents and have enjoyed everyday since our baby boy came into the world.  This year has been great and we are excited about 2011.  I don't know if it can top 2010, but we look forward to trying.  :)

I am not usually one to make resolutions, but I think that this year would be a good year to start.  My "new mom brain" makes me a tad forgetful, so hopefully this list will keep me a little more accountable.  Do you have any resolutions?  Let's hear them!  Here are mine for 2011:

1. Go on a family vacation - maybe take Cooper camping this Spring?
2. Focus on healthy eating and exercising. - I am starting with P90X (maybe not the diet, but the workouts for sure)
3. Organize my recipes - Kayce, let's do it together this summer!  :)
4. Scrapbook/keep an album of Cooper up-to-date
5. Study for (and possibly take) the praxis in another subject area - maybe MS English or Social Studies
6. Start to teach Cooper Spanish and sign language - I just started following a few blogs to help out with this.
7. Read my Bible everyday - I did okay at this last year, but I want to keep it up.
8. Stay within our budget and save like crazy.
9. Continue with my flower garden and start a vegetable garden - with mom's help of course. :)

I will try to post periodically to update you on my successes/failures.  I have a pretty amazing accountability partner to keep me honest, and I know she will help me along the way.  Happy New Year!
