New Year goals

Well 2010 has come and gone and looking back on it the year was pretty great. I'll start with the accomplishments.
Ben graduated with his Master's and got a great job he enjoys. We were able to leave apartment living behind for a little while by renting a house in the country. We have really enjoyed the space, but because this house is older it is a bit of an energy hog and we are considering moving elsewhere (maybe even an apartment) after our lease is up in June. We'll see. Our kids have grown leaps and bounds this year. Landon is 2 1/2 and does well with his numbers and had done well with his letters until he decided that he doesn't have "time" for them anymore. Stubborn kid. Potty training didn't go as expected, in fact I had to toss the book I got aside because he is not a strict 15 minute kind of guy and gets mad when we consistently ask him to go to the potty. He will come and tell us when he needs to go and has done very well that way, with a few small accidents a week. So it may take a little while but at least it is not a constant battle. Katelyn is 1 and is a total joy. She's a very happy child who likes to laugh. Following her brother is her favorite thing. She is much more adventurous than Landon was at her age and climbs and tumbles on pretty much everything. As for me, I've been enjoying the opportunity I have had to stay at home with the kids. I've made some new friends in the ward and am setting housekeeping goals. I'm also on a little weight loss adventure and have been able to lose 12 pounds in the last few months so I'm gonna keep on chugging along with that.

2011 goals:
Start having FHE
Stick to a budget
Eat healthier--kids too, meaning eat more vegetables!
Exercise five days a week--Ben and Kyra
Read scriptures more consistently as a couple
Keep house clean (stay on top of the laundry, dishes, etc)
Write in journal once a week--Kyra

So here is to 2011!
