Happy New Year

Okay, so I know we are halfway through January and I'm a bit behind with the whole Happy New Year, but I am so excited for this year.
We have a lot of changes and some big events going on this year! My little sister is getting married at Disney World in April, I will be reopening my photography business in the spring, and Steve and I will celebrate our 10 year anniversary in May!!

This year we are planning to

Get More Organized (we are both seriously bad at this!)

Take more pictures and video (you have no idea how bad I was at this last year, I guess having 4 kids and one of them being a baby makes life just a bit more hectic).

Enjoy the everyday moments and record the moments that make us laugh and smile on paper

Follow Dave Ramsey's plan and really stick to a budget, (food and gas prices are killing us!)

Get back in shape and eat clean. (Steve and I are both back at the gym and it's been fun, we took before pictures and maybe will share them next year when we look smoking, haha)

Grow closer to God

continue to work on our house (I know I still need to share pictures).

I'm also going to try to become more of a morning person, but I know that this night owl part of me is deep in my blood, because it's so hard for me to go to bed early and wake up early!

I am doing a couple photo challenges too, a 52 weekly picture of my 4, a 52 weekly changing theme challenge, and a once a month family shot! We will see how it goes, I hope to share and post those every week!

So here is to an amazing 2012, may it involve less complaining, more gratefulness and contentment, lots of laughter and taking in and appreciating these days where my kids are little with all that I have!!

Here is a moment Steve grabbed for me one night last week, I treasure these moments at night when Gray is nursing before he goes to bed. He is getting so big, I swear this is my most favorite age. He makes us all laugh a lot during the day, and his brother and sister's adore him. We are very blessed!
