2010

My New Years resolution is to start blogging again.  I am going to set a goal to blog everyday.  I know it might not come true, but when I think of all the memories, funny things the kids said or did, milestones that went undocumented, it makes me a lot a bit sad.  Every post won't be all pictures and flowers, but oh freakin well.  It will be the life that we're livin, and that is good enough.  So, I thought to kick off my re-entry into the blogosphere, I would try and make a list of things that happened in 2010.  Lists are one of my favorite things...

*Addy had her 1st birthday

*Kent had knee surgery

*Colton and Aubrey had amazing, over the top birthday parties, if I do say so myself.  Mario Bros. for Colt, and Princess for Aubs...

*We were sealed in the Columbia River Temple, one of my favorite days ever...

*My Grandma Goude past away, I love that lady...

*Colton had his first swim lessons, he did really well when he wasn't talking to Spencer...the only picture I have is one Aubrey took on my phone.  I'm a total loser...

*We survived another Halloween season working at the Halloween Store

*I turned 30

*Colton gave me a bloody nose.  Last time I play tetherball with that kid...

*Colton started first grade.  He is gone all day now.  Sad.

*I had my first root canal.  Horrible.

*We had another amazing vacation at the beach

*We went to Seattle for a wedding reception and the kids and I had our first ferry ride.  Kent of course had already been on one.  Driving on to a giant boat was so weird.( we have a really cute picture of all of us on the ferry, but I think I must have loaded them on the computer with no monitor. I am so disappointed)

*Colton had his first basketball camp

*Aubrey sounds louder....if that is even possible....

*I ate my first grown-up sandwich, with  onions and tomatoes on it....

*Colton lost his first tooth, and then another one...

*Addy had her first haircut

*For Halloween Colton was Voldemort, Aubs was Cruella de Vil, and Addy was a witch...interesting evil theme going on...

*Christmas was awesome

*Aubrey learned to spell her last name

*Aubrey and Colton both had their first trips to the dentist

*Kent started shaving all his hair off.  It's weird to see pictures even from vacation, when he still had his curly hair...

*We went to the Childrens Museum in Portland

*Addison started watching tv.  Max and Ruby is by far her favorite.  She even brings you the remote, and yells at you when you forget to fast forward the commercials.

*Colton grew his own pepper plant with Kent

*We enjoyed going to the Farmers Market as a family


*I got to go take pictures of Colton snowboarding!

*Colton had his first stitches.  He was standing a little to close to his cousin while she was swinging her golf club.  His ear paid the price.  5 stitches.

I'm sure we did more, but for now, this will suffice.  I think I did a pretty good job considering I was trying to reflect on a whole year past.....

Happy New Year!
