January Family Outing

Today my family went out for breakfast for our January family outing from our family resolution. It was a really fun time and I think we all enjoyed it. We went to IHOP and we all got pancakes except for Luke who ordered a burger. Overall it was a fun morning (even though we had to wait a while to get our breakfast). I look forward to more events this year with the family and I'll keep you posted on what we are going to do next.

My little brother

This is my brother Luke. He is 11 years old and quickly passing me up! We sometimes fight like any siblings do, but deep down we love each other. I find that now as we are getting older, it's easier to see what we have in common. We read the same books, we play the same games, we share the same parents and house. I'm glad that we have much in common now because sometimes that creates less fights, other times...not so much.

I really love my little brother and I wouldn't change a thing about him. It's exciting to watch the young man he is becoming and I hope that as he grows and gets stronger than me, that he will also stay strong in what he believes in and his faith. I love you Luke! I'm so proud of who you are becoming.

Family New Years Resolution

Thanks to Kisses and K's Idea, my family has decided to do the same. (:

We pick twelve things to do for the year, one each month as a family. They are things that are different from normal family activities or things we've never done before. But most importantly, each thing is to bring our family together.

This years 12 things:

1. Go out for breakfast together-January 22nd, 2011

2. Go Ice Skating

3. Go to Boise Peak (Indoor rockclimbing)

4. Just Dance Battle

5. Fishing Trip

6. Alpine Village in McCall

7. Bike the Greenbelt

8. Twilight Criterium (a bike race at night)

9. Boise Festival (100s of Air Ballons go up in the sky)

10. Camping locally and in Yellowstone

11. Meridian Speedway

12. Berry Picking

Some things are simple, some things are kind of adventurous, but overall I think it is going to be a fun year and I'm excited to spend more time with my family. Some of the things may change and they aren't in order because we just worked on it tonight.

Thank you Kisses and K's for the idea!
