Goals

Leave it to me to take until FEBRUARY to write down my goals for this year. Oh well, that's what I get for having twins!

Anyways, lets look back on last year's goals.....though I think it is going to be pretty pathetic.

 Resolutions for 2011

* Read the Book of Mormon! ......Can I just say FAIL on this one?

* Be better about Family Home Evenings - Yup....another FAIL :(

* Run a 5K - Technically a FAIL on this one to, but to be fair, I grew two human beings instead.

* Weigh in at 150 by the end of the year and/or fit into my size 9 jeans - Haha!! NOPE!

* Upgrade to a bigger vehicle - Finally one I actually did!! 

* Get out of debt! - We are so close!

* Practice and play my Flute and Bagpipes more - I just recently pulled my flute out, but the pipes have spent another year in their box. I can't bear the thought of parting with them though.

* Spend more quality time with Robert - Not sure if I really made the best effort at this one :(

* Hike more - Nope again! FAIL!

* Be Happy! - I do feel like I had a happy year!

* Get Cadence a headstone - It breaks my heart that I have to put a FAIL next to this one again :*(

* Possibly find a pre-school I like for Kaylee - Found a preschool.....not sure I like it

* Be more involved as a mother - Until September I think I did an ok job at this. Since the babies came it has been an epic FAIL.

* Possibly start seeing a therapist - Haha! I must have been having a bad week or something when I wrote this one. FAIL, but I really never thought about it after I wrote it down as a goal.

* Start teaching dog training classes - FAIL again! I would still like to someday, but not in the near future

* Get a 3-6 month supply of food storage - FAIL, but we are closer than we were last year.

* Get a bike and ride it - FAIL......bikes are overrated ;)

Now for some well thought out ones for this coming year.

Family:
* Family Home Evening -  This NEEDS to happen!
* Spend quality, active, one on one time with Kaylee every day.
* Turn off the TV - It is on entirely too much since the babies were born
* Date night once a month - This too NEEDS to happen!
* Get Cadence a headstone

Health/Fitness:
* Run a 5K
* Run a 10K
* Complete the Fit2Fat2Fit program
* Complete P90X
* Start walking again
* Hike more
* Eat more fruits and veggies

Spiritual:
* Finish Book of Mormon
* Family Home Evening - You think it's more likely to happen since I wrote it down twice?
* Work harder in my calling
* Go to the temple at least once a month

Other:
* Take more pictures - I feel like the only pictures I have of the babies are their monthly staged ones, and I know I don't have very many at all of Kaylee!
* De-Junk and organize the house! - My mom may be called in to help with this one.....she is the master of organized households.
* Get grass in the back yard
* Paint
* NOT get pregnant!! - I realized that I have been pregnant at some point every year since 2008!! 2007 was the first and only year Robert and I have been married that I haven't been pregnant. I am really truly hoping to not get pregnant at all this year.

Welcome 2012!!

I am so excited for this year! My fingers are crossed that it is a great one for our family.

Resolutions for 2011

* Read the Book of Mormon! - I am going to start over (again) and read the whole thing this year.

* Be better about Family Home Evenings - I don't know what is so stinking difficult about making this a habit, but it needs to be part of our home and family.

* Run a 5K - I have one that looks good in February so I am hoping I can do it.

* Weigh in at 150 by the end of the year and/or fit into my size 9 jeans - This one might be difficult again this year, but I am determined to get as close to that number as possible.

* Upgrade to a bigger vehicle - If we do this the right way it will get us out of debt (except the house), and we wont have to buy another family vehicle for a good long while.

* Get out of debt! - This is except the house.

* Practice and play my Flute and Bagpipes more - This is basically "pull them out from under the bed and play them" I think if it doesn't happen this year I may consider selling my pipes.

* Spend more quality time with Robert - I want to make sure we go on one date a month, and to the temple together once a month.

* Hike more - This would be more than the 1-2 times I went last year

* Be Happy!

* Get Cadence a headstone

* Possibly find a pre-school I like for Kaylee - I can't decide if I want to try to find a nice pre-school or if I want to try to find some local moms who are interested in doing Joy School.

* Be more involved as a mother

* Possibly start seeing a therapist - I still feel like my emotions are all over the place some times, and I think talking with someone might help. Maybe.

* Start teaching dog training classes - I don't know exactly how this one will work out, but I would really like to start teaching again

* Get a 3-6 month supply of food storage

* Get a bike and ride it - this one will depend on whether my knees can handle it or not. In the past they have not appreciated even brief bike rides
