I cannot believe how fast these last few months have gone. Already a new year! 2011 was a great year for our family. We bought our first home, we celebrated Masyns first birthday, found out we were pregnant with a very unexpected third baby, endured a horrible pregnancy, Ed turned 30, had our fifth wedding anniversary, welcomed our beautiful baby girl Elin, Noah turned 4 (how crazy is that!) celebrated Christmas with both our families, and made so many wonderful memories. The last couple of months are a little fuzzy for me while we were working on getting miss Elin to sleep, but I'm pretty sure we had a great end to our year :) we learned a lot, had a lot of fun, and have been incredibly blessed. I already have a good idea of a few things I want to work on this year including, being more patient, positive, motivated, inspired, and supportive. Oh and I want to be a better cook. Like waaaaaay better. I think my family will appreciate my efforts in this area particularly! I'm really looking forward to the new surprises this year has for us! I hope that I have enough trials to keep me humble, that I give enough love to overflow, and that I learn enough to continue growing.

It's almost midnight. What am I still doing awake? Trying to postpone tomorrow for a little longer I guess. Not that anything bad is happening. I just like the quiet end to my long crazy days. It's hard to give up that little bit of peace and alone time that I get before it all starts up again. I am tired of being out of shape so I've been doing a post-pregnancy DVD and weight watchers for an entire weekF now. No cheating, no veering off course. I'm so proud of myself! You're probably laughing right now, but for me this is monumental! I've never held on for seven straight days before. I always talk myself out of it. Plus I'm even excited to continue. Weird right? Its hard work and it cuts into my already sleep deprived schedule, but you can't beat that triumphant feeling you get when you finish something that before felt so out of reach for you. I'm looking forward to seeing results one day soon.

You're inspiring! I always wonder if I'd be able to handle more than 2 kids...especially when they're this young...keep it up girl!
We should keep tabs on each other...we bought a treadmill to help us be more fit this year...and so far so good...we started before the year ended...I just need to stop snacking!
Good luck w/ all of your goals this year!
All of your kids are so adorable!
I'm not laughing, I'm inspired. I have been doing the 30 day shred DVD for a week now, but I've definitely been cheating! Good for you, that takes some serious self control (which I obviously don't have...). What is the DVD you have been doing called?
Kevyn! I love the name Elin. It's so pretty. And for sure come and stop by on your way to the temple! Leave your kids here and I'll watch them.
I did Weight Watchers to lose weight with my first, and it worked really well. I loved that I could still eat what I wanted to.
A great Weight Watchers food website is skinnytaste.com. I swear by this food. It's healthy, delicious, and pretty easy stuff to make! It makes dieting a lot easier when your not eating salad everyday :)
