A year later

A year ago Kara had her first taste of a donut hole!

Now, she is a pro at eating them! In fact, she loves to eat donut holes.

It's amazing how fast a year goes by. And, what kids do within a year!

Weekend in Pictures

This was a great playing weekend--

Mom was cleaning Kara's closet (she found something she wanted to try on- one of my old outfits) and then thought her baby could use a waffle and some baby food.

Played for hours in the toyroom on Friday night, Saturday and even Sunday and Monday.

Took advantage of the first day of beautiful weather to take a picnic lunch and play at Burroughs Park! This week will be fantastic with spring like weather. (I will want to work in the yard...)

A little bit more to learn

While watching the Georgia Tech/Iowa game tonight Carter says to me " Does he need a time out for pushing him?"
I guess he has a little more to learn about football before he plays. :) But, that is o.k. with me ~
we will focus on baseball.

Goals for 2010

I have never been one to actually make a new years resolution. I find that it is better to make "goals" - probably the same thing but goals sound better than resolution to me. (haha)

So in thinking about my goals I have a lot that I would like to accomplish... here are a few.

1. Spend a little more time doing some kind of physical activity. I always say I'm NOT joining a gym and I really truly will not but I just need to do something that will raise my heart rate.

2. Play with the kids as much as possible. I tend to get in a rut of doing things about the house (cleaning, cooking, folding clothes, etc.) and sometimes find myself not enjoying this stage of playing. So, I will play with the kids more!

3. Learn to cook something new- something that is quick and easy that we all like. (I'm counting on Lori to keep posting new recipes!) Plus, just general cooking improvements.

4. Visit with family and friends more often. We all get so busy and months go by so quickly but this year I am determined to have more "play dates".

5. Actually watch my shows that we record instead of just recording them week after week. :)

6. Stay healthy- physically, mentally, and over all general healthy.



I guess we will see how these "goals" do for the first month. So far, today has been a good start - I have played restaurant with both kids and we are about to go on a bike ride. So,
