TIME FOR NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS (I CALL THEM PLANNING MY VACATIONS FOR THE YEAR)

Don't worry Haley isn't bleeding. ...that is the aftermath of eating her birthday cake.


I was excited to plan out my New Years Resolutions this year.....

They are go to Moab, Lake Powell, and Bear Lake to camp. And visit Arizona, and California. These are my goals.

Also, I am doing a couple tri-athlons this year to keep me in shape.....It's a way to force myself to excercise. Also, its a fun challenge. I will be working out 6 days a week.....Michelle likes this idea, she likes it when I excercise, it gets me out of the house. By the way I never learned how to spell excercise so deal with it.

Dude, check this out next Saturday I am going Ice fishing with Michelle. We will have to get you photos of that when that happens.

You, know, I have figured something out about life..... life is to short to work. So, I am going to play as hard as I can. It was fun having family night tonight and planning all the crazy stuff we are going to do. If you plan it and write it on a calendar it seems more likely to happen.

by the way, if any of you want to visit us feel free. We live right by the lake (2min 20 sec to be exact).
Here are some more pictures of us in Arizona

They wanted EVERYTHING xrayed at security so Neil tried to send the twins
Haley really liked her cousins new bunny

Haley loves her tutu and acts like a princess in it

News with Haley and Jackson:

Haley has learned to scrunch her nose when she smiles...... and she know's when she gets her picture taken. She strikes a funny pose when we try to take a picture. Also, she loves the tu-tu she got for Christmas. On her first b-day she decided that walking wasn't that bad after all...Now she's off to the races! Makes it more difficult when I am trying to get a diaper on her. She has quite the personality.

Jackson is walking more and more every day. He watched Planet Earth with me today. and gasped with excitement when the polar bear tried to eat the seal. Its funny watching him watch tv at such a young age. Educational of course, football and the discovery channel

Haley and Jackson turned 1 on Jan 3rd....crazy how time flies. We had a couple of birthday parties for them. They got spoiled rotten, (Thanks to everybody). Jackson loved the t-ball set and the train. Haley just loved all the attention and the fact she got to dive into the cake herself. We had to have the birthday at Michelle's mom's house because when we returned home from Arizona, we found 12 inches of snow and a furnace that went out. Luckily no pipes froze.

They each got their own winnie the pooh cake
Jacksons new tractor
One of Haley's many funny faces for the camera
