Coral Pinks 2012...

Since it was a brand new year, we went out to the Coral Pink Sand Dunes, just like we do every year. We went out on Monday because New Year's Day was on a Sunday. Usually there's about a foot of snow on the sand but not this year! The weather has been so warm and hardly any snow was on the sand. I brought snow gear just in case but the kids didn't need it, aside from boots and gloves.

There I am, 34 1/2 weeks.

This is Merril's new work truck. He bought it at an auction in Seattle, WA and the front bumper was smashed. He got a screaming deal on it! There's a couple of things that still need to be fixed but it runs and drives and we're quite happy with it.

Grandpa brought some shovels and inevitably holes were dug. :) Juliet and Jack fit in them the best.

Happy New Year! I've thought about resolutions and all I can think of so far is I plan to drop 25-30 lbs. (I expect to gain a few more before I start losing but that can't be helped.) Other than that, I have low expectations for the year because I'll have the bambino. I'm focusing on just getting the bare essentials done around the house and family for a while. I don't feel like that's a goal though. It's not that I don't want to set goals, it's just that I want to keep them realistic because I'll have a newborn and don't want to take on too much. I hope the rest of you have really ambitious goals, for me, I'm just happy to be here.
