Yet another year coming to a close! 2011 went by so quickly! I am happy to say, that even after all the no-so-wonderful stuff that happened this year, it was still a great one. Robert and I learned a lot, and had some wonderful times together. So, for a quick year in review:
January - We announced our second pregnancy to the world, and Kaylee turned 18 months old.
February - Robert and I celebrated 4 years being husband and wife, I got to call Poison Control for the first time in my life, and we got to see our new little baby for the first time on an ultrasound.
March - I went to war with my cloth diapers, and won. We enjoyed the first taste of spring.
April - I successfully "April Fooled" people into believing I was expecting twins. We found out we were expecting another girl and that she had an increased risk of having Down syndrome. We started house hunting, and celebrated Easter together for the first time as a family, and ended up with a rabbit.
May - We bought and moved into our first house!
June - Our brand new TV broke, I started the 3rd trimester of my pregnancy, and I competed in a couple agility trials.
July - Kaylee got her first real taste of fireworks, and parades, and loved them both. I finally got going on Cadence's nursery. Kaylee turned 2!
August - Hardest month of the year by far. Found out our little Cadence had returned to Heavenly Father, we got to hold her for several hours after she was born. My little brother came home from his LDS mission in Russia!! I started on some serious weight-loss fitness goals. We buried our child, and survived for the rest of the month.
September - BEST month of the year!! Hobbs and I competed in two agility trials to help keep my sanity. Robert, Kaylee, and I were sealed in the temple as an eternal family! We
October - I lost the camera and it was returned by the person who found it. We all went to the zoo and had a wonderful time. We moved Cadence to a cemetery closer to us. Kaylee got to go trick or treating for the first time, and loved it!
November - Kaylee potty trained in 3 days!
December - We had Christmas at our house with just us. Kaylee LOVED Christmas!
Resolutions for 2011:
* First and most importantly, I am going to make sure to keep my priorities straight while still blogging. Unfortunately, if that doesn't work the blog will be coming down permanently. - Thankfully, I have been good about this one.
* Be the best mom I can be! - I feel like I could have been better. I want to do more teaching, art, crafy stuff with Kaylee next year.
* Eat healthier food. Serve healthier food to my family. Serve more home made food to my family. - Eh, not great, but not horrible.
* Compete with Hobbs in as many trials as I can afford this year. - We did this, and it was such a fun year of agility!
* Read/Finish the Book of Mormon - Wow, this so did not happen :(
* Have Family Home Evening at least twice a month - neither did this :(
* Find a way to make some extra money to pay for Agility - Nope
* Pay off the car loan and become DEBT FREE!! - Darn it! This didn't happen either!
* Get my weight down to 150 by the end of the year - I have an excuse for this one.....or so I think. It could have been done, I just didn't work hard enough. I have lost 28 lbs since having Cadence though, so not a total fail.
Goodbye 2011! This will be a year I wont ever forget, and don't want to forget! Looking forward to the new year tomorrow!
