February is the new January

I don't know what it was about January this year, but I didn't have any motivation to set any New Year's resolutions! I guess I was just so busy with getting ready for the cruise, and Mark turning 30. I just put off making any resolutions.
I decided we still needed to make some, so last night that is what we did for FHE.
Before I say our new resolutions I should probably give an update on how we did on last years. I like to be positive, so I'll just focus on what we DID accomplish!
Owen accomplished all of his resolutions! He learned to walk, said his first words and started nursery!
Baylee learned to write her name, and she rode her trike more!
I think I averaged making dinner 4 times a week. At least I think we ate less frozen pizza in 2011 than we did in 2010. I also almost read 8 books in 2011. I at least read 7.5, and I would be done with my last book, but I keep leaving it at work! Oh, and this was not one of my resolutions, but I did run 2 half marathons in 2011! Not so shabby if I do say so myself :)
Mark met his goal of getting a new job! Woohoo! We are so grateful for that! (Not that his last job was bad, it's just his new job is a lot better!)
