It's a New Year.

Well, it's a new year which means new goals. We let Cyrus demonstrate a few of our basic family goals for us.

Eat at home more, and eat more healthy foods. We learned eating with chopsticks makes you eat slower and less, and we let Cyrus try it with us. He couldn't get it to work with his food, so...

Try new things. If that means reading your book while sitting in a laundry basket then so be it.

Read more books. Cyrus doesn't think daddy reads his books correctly (he doesn't, he likes to make up his own words) so he gets a little confused and annoyed. :)

Be more helpful.


Make more time to play and have some fun!

Stay positive and keep smiling (even when its freezing outside and your mom bundles you up so much you can barely walk!)

We're looking forward to 2010 and all the great things that are going to come with it!

Christmas!

Our Christmas this year was so fun! We were able to spend a weekend in Salt Lake with the Hobbs where we saw the lights, visited Cabellas, did some shopping, saw santa, had some good tasty food and swam in the hotel pool. All the kids loved it and it was so fun to get out for the weekend. Funny that just being in Salt Lake felt like a vacation. :)

We also got to spend a lot of time with my family. We saw the lights and had my grandma's big party. Cyrus got to open his first christmas present of the year and he was having so much fun playing it was hard to get him to sit still long enough to open it. He loves playing with all the kids in my family, but his favorite is Jodi. She's close to 16 I think and they just have a ball together.

He loved everything he got for Christmas from Santa. We were all pretty spoiled this year. We love Christmas!
