New Years Resolution...reformated

Before the new year I thought it would be a great idea to do what I had seen someone else do: a 365 picture project. That's right: one picture for each day of the year. Well, January isn't quite over but I think it is more likely that I'll be able to do a few pictures a week. So, hold me to it everyone: I'm going to have at least 3 pictures each week. I want to do this because I think it will be fun after this year to see how much our kids and our lives have changed by doing weekly pictures, I'll have visual proof of all the morphing that goes on with the kids. Here are pictures to get me started...



Jared being cute



On our walk Lana discovered this tree-face and just can't get over it. We went back the next day just to check it out again.



This took a lot of work and patience to get it just the way she wanted it.




Jared weighs as much as (well, a little more than) one of these bags of rice.




Me, the kids and the Clarks- friends of our family from when I was little. They were so nice to drive down and visit us and it was fun to remember all the fun times we had together: riding on the barge, playing with April and Sheba, our Kailua 3rd Ward. They looked great and it was weird to think how long it had been since I'd seen them! Thanks again for visiting! I love you!



This was coming home after Lana's first day of Primary. She did a good job (so I'm told) and was very excited about the whole thing. She just didn't want to stop to take a picture. Her former Nursery leader, Mark, was newly called to Primary and was in Sharing time with Lana when she turned to him and said, "Mark I'm hungry for snack time." He said she was right on schedule with the Nursery snack time. Haha!




The kids and me on a boat ride in Long Beach while Mat was working. He called to tell me he was ready for me to pick him up and was confused when I said, "Ok, well, we're just about to dock and I'll come and pick you up." I don't know what Lana had more fun doing: riding on a boat or playing with the cute haole little boy the entire ride.




My friend Nala came over and brought some cute church clothes over that Shawn has outgrown. This is Jared's photoshoot.




We had a fun night with the Enos family: Jared rolling around with Vanessa, the adults playing Monopoly and Lana and Veronica playing princess dress up. Poor David was all alone watching Cars. He's so cute.





Me and Jared...I was carrying him around all morning trying to get some things done with one hand. Right after this he passed out in his bumbo.
