The World Wide Webbs: Out with the 10 and in with the new.

Saturday, January 1, 2011

Out with the 10 and in with the new.

2010 was a year full of adventures, some minor struggles, some fairy magic, a little bit of attempted murder, far too many frogs, wonderful friends, and amazing memories.

If 2011 is even half as awesome, we'll be in good shape.

(But between us, I have a feeling that it will be - somehow- even better.)

And how could it not be when it starts off with a party with darling friends...

playing games with cups,

ripping tissues out of a box,

getting wrapped in toilet paper,

playing more games with cups,

and doing the impossible:

They were convinced it could not be done.
And I did it.
(I would like to think that this is a metaphor for the upcoming year.
Bring it on, 2011.)

New Year's Resolutions for 2011:
-Read all 4 Standard Works
(Bible, Book of Mormon, D&C, Pearl of Great Price)
-Learn Calligraphy
-Learn 1 song on the guitar
-Finish (and start...) my blog book
-Get pregnant (not kidding this time!)
-Get pregnant twice (sort of kidding this time)
-Do Project 365 (explanation on this soon...)
-Make 2011 the best year so far

Happy New Year!

Ashlee Peterson said...: I did project 365 last year! There were a lot of days I forgot to take a picture(and then forgot what I had done when I tried to catch up) but it seems like you already take plenty of pictures so that shouldn't be a problem. The finished result is cool though: or I should say it WILL be cool when (code:IF) I ever get it finished. ;); January 3, 2011 at 12:27 AM

From the mouths of babes...

8/24/16: Cameron to Ashley: "Your lover is home." "Are you going to the temple with your lover?" "Where did your lover go?" (He calls Luke my lover and it kills me every time.)
8/8/16: While saying the prayer the night before school started... Brooklyn: "...And please bless mom while she's home alone... all by herself... without anyone... while all of us are gone... that she won't cry. (Oh, I think I'll be JUST FINE, thankyouverymuch.)
3/7/16: Cameron: "Mom, does Heavenly Father like us?" Ashley: "Of course! He loves us." Cameron: "THEN WHY DID HE MAKE SPIDERS!?!"
12/4: At Walmart with Bailey and Cameron, Bailey started to get a little fussy and I said, "We'd better go. She's starting to have a melt-down." Cameron asked what that meant and I said it meant she was getting fussy and wanted to leave. Then... our checkout took FOREVER, and Cameron started to get very impatient. In the middle of his mini-tantrum he wined really loudly, "Moooooom. Can we just go?!? I'm melting - I'm MELTING!!!!"
12/2: Brooklyn to Cameron: "Do the kids at school ever call you names?" Cameron: "Yea, all the time." Brooklyn: "What do they call you?" Cameron: "Cameron."
12/1: I read Cameron a bedtime story about Christmas that ended with a line that said, "And that is why the greatest gift of Christmas is the gift of love." Cameron looked at me confused and said: "What? That's not the greatest gift of Christmas. Ashley: "It's not? What's the greatest gift of Christmas?" Cameron paused for a second and thought deeply and then answered, "Guns."
9/21/2015: Brooklyn: "I don't know if I want to be a mom. It seems sooooo hard. The only good part is that you get to stay up all night."
6/5/15: After buying the kids a treat at the store for being good and not hearing a "thank you" from them, I said to them all, "I think I need to hear a magic word right now....." Cameron thought for a minute and then excitedly exclaimed, "Oh! BAZINGA!!!!"
5/15/15: Cameron to the tattooed worker installing our countertop: "Hey. All those stamps on your arms make you look like you'll go to jail."
4/7/2015: Ashley: "Cameron, come here - I want to squeeze you to pieces and eat you right up!" Cameron (sincerely alarmed): "No!!!!! You can't! - JESUS MADE ME!!!!!!"
3/24/2015: Cameron was falling asleep in the car at about 5:00. Luke said to him, " Cameron, don't fall asleep." Cameron replied, " I'm not falling asleep. I'm just taking a little break from being awake."
3/18/2015: This morning when I woke up, Cameron was standing right by my bed and he looked like he had done something very wrong. (You know - the guilt face.) I asked what happend and he said very regretfully, "Mom........ Olivia married me." And I wasn't invited!?!??!
3/11/2015: While flying in an airplane, we hit some turbulance and Cameron announced loudly and extremely calmly: "Mom. We're not going to make it. We are all just going to die."
2/1/2015: Cameron was being more grumpy than usual one morning and kind of pouting in his room. I asked him what was wrong and he said, "I just HATE being so handsome!"
