12-31-10 New Year's Eve

Happy New Year!

Our stake celebrated the New Year by holding a bash at our YMCA - swimming, classes, climbing wall, volleyball, gymnastics, hot dogs, nachos, fruit. It was really nice to spend time with all the members of the Tacoma Stake. Sam hung out in the pool, Carly hung out with her friends doing everything, and Gabe paced himself on a treadmill in front of a TV. Daniel and I basically socialized with our friends. We really enjoyed being there.
.
My New Year's Resolutions -- I say Resolution very loosely. Nothing is typed out and pasted to the refrigerator, or anything like that. But, I do think on the past year and resolve (maybe that's a better word) to do better in the coming year: Lose weight, become physically fit and be a more physically active mother, keep a clean house -- organized and purged!, show love more easily to my husband, pay off debts and spend money wisely, hold regular Family Home Evening, read scriptures as a family.
.
Who knows? Maybe 2011 will the year for me to transform -- into MagnificentMom, WonderousWoman, and SuperSpouse. One can only dream.

Christmas Photos

So happy I didn't procrastinate taking the Christmas photos this year (well, I didn't wait until Christmas Eve Day, so that was an improvement over last year!).

Carly wanted to have a couple of Christmas Cards printed up just for her friends.
Here are her poses. She had to include her little sister and best friend, Rainbow!
Merry Christmas!

Sam plays drums in the NVI Band. We went to his holiday concert tonight. He really enjoyed having his family and Grandma Martinez there.
