After having our family New Years meeting, we have decided to make some changes in 2009. TO DO AS A FAMILY...
T-take more walks and go to Florida!
Bean-go fishing, go to a water park and Go to Disney World!
AwBell-go to a castle and sleep in a princess bed with makeup!
My My-paint a blue butterfly!
Mom-go away with the Captain ALONE TO A BEACH!
TO DO AS A SERVICE TO OTHERS.....
T-Clean someone's yard
Bean-Give orphans food
My My-Make balloon animals for people
Mom-Volunteer at the food pantry and faithfully write our church members in Iraq
The Captain-Fix dinners for people at church who have a need (hey that sounds like my job)
OUR GOALS....There are only 2
Finish remodeling our house (which will commence in 2 weeks)
Be MORE LIKE JESUS!
We have been blessed immensely in 2008
*We bought another 155 acre farm which we will be farming in addition to our home place of 160 acres so now Nick will have added farming to do.
*We went on a family vacation & Kissed a dolphin!
*We got 3 out of 4 ALMOST completely potty trained RAISE THE ROOF!!!
*We got to share our story on National TV twice.
*Nick and his buddy survived their first trip to STURGIS.
*I got to travel and share my story nationally in Utah!
*Started a Blog-we have already met people who are blessing our life through this!
*Been blessed by a wonderful family & friends!
The Captain has just returned from his New Year Harley ride with his friends "Sonic Rider" and "Trailer Man". THEY ARE NUTS! It's only 28 degrees! Even with my chaps on I wouldn't even think about it! So it's time to go make my chocolate chip pancakes, hash browns and bacon AND the best part??? I'm still in my jammies!! Maybe I'll start that diet NEXT YEAR! Blessings & HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

I like your changes for 2009. We need to make some around here as well. Thanks for the motivation.
And WOW...that is a lot of farm to take care of.
We have been remodeling our house for almost two years (next month) and it STILL is not done. We hope to finish by spring and put it up for sale.
Yum...Chocolate Chip Pancakes!!!
You and The Captain look so cute together in that picture by the tree!
I love the idea of having goals for every member in your family...not just the adults. (:
Happy New Year!
Jen- What an awesome post! Not to mention the 2 of you are adorable!!!

Happy New Years!

Jen,
What happened to the link you had at the bottom of the blog to the family of the man(Lamberth?) who was injured? I have been following it through your blog and it isn't there anymore...or I just can't find it.
Thanks,
Amanda

Sounds like a wonderful start to the new year. Good luck with the additional farming, finishing the house and all the changes you want to make in 2009. Happy New Year!
Sounds like you are off to a great start!!! You sure put me to shame, all I have thought about the last 24 hours is SLEEP!!! I really should make out a list like you have done here, I think the kids would love it!! Seven children in the house is sure a fun hands on life!!! Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year to you and your wonderful family. I hope that all your goals are achieved. If anyone can do it, I know you can.
Goota love it! the beach part sounds great... alone, yes I agree. And a good book. Ok.. so i'm coming to kansas this summer. i want to walk your farm and look for tornados. :) Oh yes, and hear the bugs at night. I couldn't think about riding when it's cold out. do you ride too? i would hold on tight cause actually DRIVING a bike, scares me.
What a great list of things to do in 2009. I especially liked the idea about the beach!
Happy New Year to you and your beautiful family.
Great New Year's resolutions! You have a beautiful family!
What an awesome year in review and an even better list of to-dos for the new year! LOVRE the idea of sleeping in a princess bed with make-up. LOL What a GIRLIE!
