2011 Year-End Review

January

I organized my closet shelves. 

They could use another good organizing right about now. 
This time, my husband needs to organize his side.

Watching my basketball stud.  It's amazing how much he's changed over the past year.

 

February

 

I baked chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes.

These are very rich and heavy.  One advice, make sure the butter is melted or you will have gritty icing.

 

 

Hailey got 1st place at the Athletic Championships competition.

Actually, her team got 1st place at every competition they competed in last year.
I can only hope for that outcome this year.  We'll see!

 

March

 

We made rag flip flops.

These turned out so freaking good! I wish I had made me a pair. 
They are still holding up and look great!

 

Hailey took her first plane ride!
This was so exciting and nerve racking.  She was so nervous.  I got sick on the ride back home. 
All five of us are flying this March.  I am stoked!

 

We went to Disney for a cheer competition.  See posts here, here, here, here and here.  AND Hailey's cheer team won 1st place in Nationals!!!

 

We saw Mitchel Musso in Concert!
He puts on a good concert for the girls too.  I would see him again. :)

 

 

April

 

I made a Rosette headband.

Our dog chewed this one. Ugh!  Time to make a few more.

 

 

May, June, July and August - I took a break from blogging.

 

 

September

 I came back!!

I bought supplies for Art Journaling, which I will start on next week!

I'm so excited to share this experience with you and to give them this gift next Christmas.

 

October

 

I turned 34 and went shopping.

The shoes shown below are my favorite shoes. 
I wear them all the time.

 

 

Kids attended their fall festival.

 

 

Kids had mismatch day.

 

 

Soccer became my obsession.

Joseph has signed up for travel soccer now.  He has been training 4 nights a week since November. 
I can't wait to watch him play this Spring.

Kids dressed up as Zombies for Halloween
Hailey actually found the tutorial on youtube.  This was our first attempt.

 

And this is them on Halloween night...

 

 

November

I am Thankful for...

 

 

 

December

We went to Tennessee for our first competition of the season! Come home with 1st place!

 

Hailey visited Santa even if it was a flop.

 

 

My kids got sick right before Christmas. 

Thankfully they were better before the festivities.

 

We had a great Christmas!

 

 

Bring on 2012 baby!!

My New Year Resolutions...

1.  Spend more time enjoying life and documenting it.
2.  Pay more attention to my husband.  He needs my affection as well.
3.  Save more.  Joseph goes off to college in 5 years.  I want him to graduate debt free and in order for me to give him that gift, I must save more.
