2011 Goals
I want to make some goals or resolutions for this year. Anyone out there willing to help keep me accountable?
1) Regularly update and post to the blog ~ I like the organization and ease of finding things on the blog due to the labels. So, my goal is to post to the blog at least once a month. Maybe the last weekend of the month or the first weekend of the month can be my goal for reaching this goal.
2) Scrapbooks/Baby Books ~ I have the boys' baby books, just haven't done a very good job of keeping them updated. My mom scrapbooked my brother & my childhoods...I want to be able to do the same for my boys. At this point, I don't think I can do a cut/glue/paper scrapbook -- too time consuming and takes too much space, but I'm looking into doing a digital scrapbook for each boy...or maybe a book for each year. Any suggestions of what to use for this would be greatly appreciated.
3.) Clean/Organize our House ~ I am an organized person but at the same time I am a packrat....not a good combination. I want our house to be cleaned and organized, but I can't ever seem to make it happen. My sister-in-law mentioned to me that once a month she chooses a room in the house to organize and purge stuff. I may have to try this approach.
4.) Get to a healthy weight/BMI ~ After being pregnant (twice) and nursing for the last four years, my body could use a little attention. Right now I'm not big on doing any major changes because I'm still nursing. Once I'm done nursing I'd like to do something to tone up my body, lose some weight, and get to a good BMI. We got the Wii Fit for Christmas, so I'm hoping this can help with this process. Maybe once the weather gets nice the boys and I can get outside for some walks, too.
I thought I had more goals for the year, but can't seem to remember them. Maybe this is a good start for me. If I have too many goals, I'd probably get overwhelmed and not accomplish anything. So here goes! Let's have a great year!

Menu for the Week
So I had great intentions to plan our meals for the week -- which I did; however, life got in the way a little and things got changed up. Oh well, at least we knew pretty much what we were going to eat! Here's how our meals actually ended up this week.
Monday: Stea & fries
Tuesday: Chicken Stirfry
Wednesday: Chicken tacos & rice
Thursday: ate at Texas Roadhouse (YUMMY!) because Sammy stayed with Grammy -- a lot easier to eat out withOUT a 2 year old!
Friday: We're going to have roast!

Helping Daddy
We had to install a new doorknob on the closet door to keep Sammy from playing in the closet.

School Baby Shower
One of the other teachers at school (Erin H.) was pregnant -- the teachers threw us a shower! Mom and Sammy came to help us celebrate -- poor Sammy was starting to come down with something, though!
We miss you Larkin!
Larkin and her family moved to Louisiana. Pammy had a going away dinner for them!
Sammy's Big Boy Bed
In January, we sent Sammy to Grammy's for the day and put together his new big boy bed and went and bought bedding.
