How cute are they?!?!

We went to a crab feed for the Piner High School Foundation a while back and Alyssa got such a kick out of the bibs. She almost ate her weight in crab that night. I just found this picture and it cracked me up!

Keep your eye on the ball!!!

Growing up it was always a rule that if my parents signed me up for an activity I had to finish it. I think this came in to play after I would insist on trying a new sport or activity then after the second class I would try and get my Mom to let me quit. We have done this with Alyssa as well. I didnt realize that I would end up punishing myself.

We have tried out many things with her. We have done gymnastics - it was great, we did soccer - not so great, and now softball which has been a complete and total waste of time. She hates it and it is painfull to watch! She is way more interested in playing in the dirt than keeping her eye on the ball. Every game she asks how long it is till snack time.

I can't tell you how glad I am that there is only one game left. It is a good thing that she looks adorable in her uniform and we get to see some of our friends every weekend!

Wow...it has been a REALLY long time!!!

So there are so many things I want to try and accomplish or start this year. I think about it all the time. It is one of those topics that I think about while I lay in bed at night. So here are the first 15. Maybe by writting them out I can actually accomplish a few of them. A girl can dream, right?

1. Succesfully grow our veggie garden. 20 plants are in the ground. I just hope they end up bearing fruit before I kill them!

2. Change my hair up again. I am thinking bangs. I am over funky colors...for now.

3. Cook at home more. Eating out is really eating up my bank account.

4. Keep to a budget. I would like my bank accounts grow not shrink.

5. Play with my baby more. It sounds simple but life is so busy and it needs to be a priority!

6. Sew more. My grandma left me all of her sewing stuff and I don't get enough use out of them.

7. Get to bed at a decent time. 11pm is not a good bedtime when I need 9 hours of sleep to not be a complete bitch in the morning.

8. Keep in touch with friends. When I get stressed and busy I tend to withdraw from people and only keep in contact from my very closest friends.

9. Spend more time on the water this summer. Summer should be all about the lake (and it makes my hubby happy)!

10. Purge the clutter! Our house is over run with STUFF. It stresses me out! We need to declutter like crazy.

11. Actually make it the gym at least 3 times a week. My body will thank me.

12. Train this darn puppy. We get so busy and poor Cody is just thrown into the mix. He needs some structure (and also need to stop chewing everything up!).

13. Finish decorating Alyssa's room. It has been in limbo for far to long!

14. Date my husband more. Dinner, movies, just be together. Silly but it never happens.

15. Take more pictures. I invested in a really good (read expensive) camera that I don't use nearly enough. I need to capture all of the great memories that we share with out family and friends to look back on years from now.

Tomorrow I will try and get a jump on things. I am off to bed. #7 is a good start.
