2010 was an interesting year. For Laura, the year proved to be a good one with the birth of our new baby Kaitlyn, and starting the University of Phoenix. Danelle had a great year by turning five, getting a baby sister, graduating preschool and starting Kindergarten, going on vacations, swimming at Seven Peaks, and taking piano lessons. Kaitlyn had a great year as she learned about this world around her and can now roll, almost crawl, and say Mama.
As a family we had some great moments as well. Shayne's Mom graduated in April this year with her Master's Degree, my parents moved back in May 2010, our trip to Hatch and Disneyland, Danny becoming engaged, Patrick returning home from a mission, and finding out that Jessica and Tyler were pregnant, due in January.
We are hoping 2011 will be Shayne's year! He had a really rough year in 2010 looking for work, but we know that good times are ahead. Shayne is scheduled to graduate this year. We have waited and worked long and hard for this day to come and can't wait for school to be behind him. This will make looking for work easier, and we hope that by the end of 2011 we will have a good idea of where we are going.
As a family, we made some resolutions for the year during our family home evening. Here are just a few;
Elle -
*learn to read. (She is already doing so well in this area! She just need to build her confidence in herself and she will soar at reading!)
*Keep reading the Book of Mormon every night (we hope she will finish by the time she is eight years old and her baptism)
*Learn to ride a bike with no training wheels
*Be more kind and polite to her parents and family
*Get a hamster. (Yeah.... I don't know HOW I should feel about this one!)
Shayne -
*Get a job
*Move to a bigger home
*Graduate school
*Take family on a vacation
Laura -
*I need to be more patient
*Spend more quality time with family
*Go to temple at least once a month
*Be more active in my ward (as in going to Relief Society Enrichment nights,Volunteering more, getting to know sisters, etc)
*Be physically active and fit - bike rides with the girls, walks, etc.
Obviously we have personal goals I didn't put on here too, but these are just a few. We are excited for our new year. We are already thrilled about 2011 and to welcome Jessica and Tyler's new baby into the family with little Tayler coming soon, and Danny and Dawn getting married February 11. We can't wait for what 2011 will bring! GO 2011!!!
