2008 Resolutions

• Get 100% out of debt. Put money away into savings & into Aidan's savings.
• Learn how to use my sewing machine so I can start those projects.
• Get my house organized & decorated the way I want. Get rid of old/unused furniture & simplify, simplify!
• Be more supportive to my husband. Give him more motivation so he can graduate this year!
• Wake up before Aidan. I don't need more than 8 hours sleep even on my sleeping pill. Try to get things done before he gets up.
• Motivate myself & my husband to eat healthier & to exercise. Try not to eat out so much & if we do, to make better choices about what we eat.
• Spend quality time with Aidan & teach him everything I can. Be the best mother I can be.
• Find more time to spend one-on-one time with my husband. Have a weekly date night! Any babysitters???
• Get going on Aidan's scrapbook & also finish up our wedding album.
• Don't put off till tomorrow, what I can do today!

Well that's it for now. Of course I always think of more, but this will do for now.

More of Christmas Day...

Our 3rd & final stop was to my parents house. We got there at 11 & decided to eat our tradtional brunch - omelets, bacon, orange slices, sticky buns & sausage rolls. It sure was yummy!

After brunch we opened presents to each other. Aidan was so tired from being awake so early & from running around that he & Gma Julie took a nice nap.

It is also tradition that we play a new game since we are a gaming bunch & we always get at least one new game at Christmas. DJ, Dad & Bryan really enjoyed the new Settlers games.

After Aidan awoke from his nap, he was ready to play! His two favorite toys was the rocking dog that sang jingle bells & a silver bow. Both kept him very entertained.

Oh & since he rolls around like crazy, he also liked the tree branches.

Once we got home, Bryan's mom came over to spend a little time with us. It sure was fun to see everyone on Christmas!

Christmas Day...

Our first stop on Christmas was to see his sister Shan & her daughter Haylee who were visiting from California. It was so nice to see them!


Aidan had fun watching the dogs.

Our 2nd stop was to see Heather (Bryan's sister) and her family.

They gave Aidan the cutest onesie that says "Who's your Daddy?" and has Darth Vader on it. It'll be fun to put him in that.

They also gave him a Turtle Peek a Blocks which he got way excited about. I think because it had so many colors on it & we were all excited for him!




Aidan & Ashley - he had so much fun playing with the bow!
