I like to have a little accountablility on my yearly goals, so every January, I report on the previous year's resolutions and make new ones for the coming year.
2014:
Stephen:
New Year's Resolutions are definitely NOT Stephen's thing, but he played along.
*I resolve to NOT buy a Nissan Rouge. {This sprung from that awful commercial about the car driving on top of the train.}
Seriously, though....
*Update and organize iTunes, getting all the songs that were lost when the old computer crashed.
*be better on personal prayers.
*Work on not complaining.
Report: Shocking, I know, but Stephen DID NOT buy a Nissan Rouge.
He is still working on iTunes, which is an ongoing project.
The others are works in progress, too.
Mel's Resolutions:
*Complete the YW Personal Progress as a leader, which includes finishing the Book of Mormon, among other goals.
* Get caught up on photobooks.
*Organize my house---and keep it that way.
*Get 72 hr. kits done and work on food storage.
Report: I DID complete my YW Personal Progress, including reading the Book of Mormon.
I did not get caught up on photos, but did organize some pictures in the goal of doing books.
The house organization is an ongoing thing, but I did organinize TWO houses last year, the old one AND the new one.
The 72-hour kits are DONE! Food storage is ongoing.
Kyle's Resolutions:
*Help mom when she's sick.
*Be nice to Ryan and Evan.
*Listen to Daddy.
*Keep telling the truth.
{Mom has added to Kyle's list---learn to tie shoes and ride a bike.}
Report: Kyle was a big help to me when I was sick. He tries to be nice, listen, and tell the truth. After a few experiences with the consequences of lying, he's doing much better on that.
He learned to tie his shoes, but is still working on the bike riding.
Ryan's Resolutions:
*I am not going to hit my brothers.
{Mom has added to his list--play a sport.}
Report: Well, the hitting thing happens around here almost everyday. But, Ryan did play soccer for the first time and is going to play again this year.
Evan's Resolutions:
*Play with Ry-Ry, Ty {Kyle}, Dada, and Mama.
*Eat cookies. {When Evan "says" the word "cookies," he actually clicks his tongue 2 times, like he's from some aboriginal tribe, or something. It's hilarious.
Report: Evan played quite a bit with all of us AND ate lots of cookies!!!
