New

Well here we are in a new year! A new year always welcomes in new changes, kicking bad habits and promising yourself to do better. This year I think we've all forgone all that and just decided to strive to always be your better self. I like that plan. Why start fresh on January 1st? Why not do better now?

So this year has been a billion trillion times better than last year already. Gary is helping with his father's Liberty Tax office again. I wasn't so kind. I found myself a new job working at one of Primrose Schools. I'm excited to be there and to work with kids again.

All this work is keeping us busy! Gary has been working from 3:00 to 9:00 pm and I've been working from 9:00-6:30. It's depressing to only see each other for a few minutes a day but I'm excited that we're both busy being productive. 

I am incredibly excited for 2011 and all the many great opportunities it brings!

Portland!

 

Jeremy was so excited to see all that was under the Christmas tree!

 Jeremy and Gary playing with Jeremy's new toys!

I sure do miss Mt. Hood! Look how majestic it is!

The dog loves getting presents! He's great at opening them too!

Bayli opening gifts in her new Christmas PJ's

 My brother, CJ was a great sport about the Hansen VCR I gave him. (there was a gift card inside)

The boys fly their helicopters in the gym. Looks like fun!

Bayli and I trying out her new cookie press. Baking is what we do best.

This would be the San Fransisco Bay. We had to make a pit stop to see how California was doing.

 Beautiful, right?

 I don't know what mountain this is, but I thought it was amazing so I had to snap a shot.

 San Fransisco!
