A few picture-of-the-day photos....

Just so you can have a tiny glimpse into our lives...here are a few of my picture-of-the-days!

Lane loves to ride in the truck with his daddy!



Lane and I went outside to play in the snow on a really nice 40-degree day. He saw me sitting on a pile of snow, so he had to sit there too. He was just contemplating his life in this picture ;)


These icicles were so pretty hanging off of our roof!


Me...at about 14 weeks pregnant. Slowly getting a bigger belly!

Friends!

Today Kara, Stacey, and I got together at Stacey's house. Somehow the time always seems so short, especially when little kids need to get home for lunch and naps! Our kids were born within 3 months of each other, so it's really fun to watch them "play" together. They really don't play with each other, just kind of around each other!

Kaci recently moved into her "big girl" room, so they had fun playing in there. Braden and Kaci played on her bed for a long time with some food stuff, they were so cute! Of course, as soon as I got my camera out, they got all goofy and Lane had to join in. Actually, the picture of the 3 of them turned out pretty cute! I guess we'll have to save it for their graduation album someday :)

New Year's Resolutions

Usually I don't make New Year's Resolutions...I might say something like "oh, I'll clean more" or something vague like that, but I never really follow through. I guess life just always gets in the way of trying to do something! Last year I was still very sleep deprived at this time so I didn't have any plans for anything!

This year, I actually made 2 resolutions...and...I'm still going on both of them! I know it's only been 15 days.

One resolution is to read the whole Bible. With as much as I like to read, you would think that I would have done this by now, but nope. I discovered that in the back of my Bible is a list of certain passages to read on certain days. It does skip a few passages (such as all the geneology), but it highlights most of them. Only takes me 10-15 minutes a day to read it and that's about all I can manage right now!

Another resolution that has been really fun has been Project Life. Last year at this time, I saw a really cool album idea called Project 365. Every day, you take a picture, journal about it, and put it in a album. At the end of the year, you have a record of the entire year! I thought it was so neat, but unfortunately the kit sold out. I kept the idea in the back of my mind and planned to do it on my own (without the kit) for 2010. I was really happy when I discovered Project Life! It's almost the same thing, only it can be varied a little bit. It's designed so that you can take a picture a day or a picture every week or month or whatever. I'm doing a picture a day and it's been really fun so far! It can be a little challenging to get a new picture on some days, but I figure I can always take a picture of something mundane, like what I made for supper or highlight a room in our house. After all, when my grandkids look at this 50 years from now, I'm sure they'll want to see what every day life was like back in 2010!

So, if you see me, ask my how my resolutions are doing so that I will be more motivated to keep it up!

A few pictures from the last few weeks

Yay! My morning sickness is finally gone! It never really got too bad, just throwing up about 3-4 times a week and pretty yucky-feeling in the mornings. It never kept me from doing anything that I wanted to do, but it kept me from doing alot of things that I didn't want to do. Like cleaning. So now my house is a little cleaner and a little better organized! It's more organized thanks to the couple of blizzards that we had. Curtis gets bored if he has to sit around the house for too long and that's when he starts cleaning. (Yay for me!) He helped me organize the storage room, the office, Lane's room, and our bedroom.

Just to get you caught back up on our lives...here's a few pics from the last few weeks.

Ok, so my computer is being dumb and wouldn't let me post pics today!

I had some cute pics from when we went to visit my Grandma Reimer in KS...I'll just go ahead and post this and then come back to it later and it will hopefully work!!
