Goals

Last night for FHE we wrote down our goals. It is a family tradition, and since we were out of town for New Years, and last week I was sick, we got to it this week. I warned them all last week to be thinking of what goals they want to set. It was fun to see what they came up with. My list from last year was an embarasment I didn't do very good. I am hopeful about this year, and I know I can accomplish them.

1. Get out of bed each day.

2.Brush teeth morning and night...

no I'm kidding, they are real goals

But I am so nice and and love to share too much information, I am going to share SOME with you. Who am I kidding Mike and the kids don't read this, they will never know...hint hint.

So One of Mike's was, you'll never guess coming from a workaholic..

Take the family on a family vacation!! I am serious. This is a sensitive subject in the family and we have decided that I can take the kids on trips and leave him home to work. So when he said this, I tried not to let my jaw drop to the floor, and nicely wrote it down. We will have to see where to. I am okay with camping, but we already do that, so I bet it is something different.

I'll share two of mine. one is learn to set better at volleyball. The other one is be in a 5K (this is an unaccomplished one from last year.) Jeffrey and Katie decided to do this one with me, so I am really excited about it.

Katie's is go to church without complaining. Yes, we are already dealing with this with a 7 year old. I think 11 o'clock church will help this one.

Jeffrey's are always funny. Last year he had one..Open doors for elderly and girls. He is really good at it now. So this year one is..Help mom clean the house.

Savannah's is to write her name.... i'll add legibly.

Parley's are (i'll share all of his since I helped him write them) Sit through sacrament meeting. This has only happened once and that was the week I was sitting on the stand for the Primary Program, and he had 4 adults to entertain him, and no siblings to compete with. Bana was sitting with someone else...that is what happens when I am on the stand.:) His next one is..no night nursing. I am not sure if we are ready to do a complete weaning, but I do need to sleep at night. Have I mentioned that before? And his last one is....Potty trained! I am so excited....My number one least favorite thing about being a mommy. But at least it is better than the other option...peeyew!
