Best/Worst Moment - Welcoming Cruz K. by c-section. I will be happy to share this moment by posting a video if anyone is interested. Vote on the sidebar.
Vacations - Road Trip to UT, fall trip to CA, Labor Day camping in the Olympics, Thanksgiving in Victoria, BC. (pictures still to come on some of these)
Visitors - Alise, Heidi and her mom Nancy, Nate, Britt and Eric, Audrey and Kevin, Ryan and Jen (and my SS pots and pans have never looked so shiny!)
Growing - Artichokes
Exercise - H.E.A.T with JanineBoard Game - Wits and Wagers (w/the Manchaks)
Movie- Babies
Punctuation Mark - ?! (mostly I was just excited to learn that this has a name -Interrobang)
Word - Penultimate (which I learned from Prof. Manchak)
---Avery - Beginning violin lessons, starting 1st grade, modern dance.
Miles - Soccer, Hip-Hop, Angry Birds and Cut-the-Rope, sneaking marshmallows.
Cruz - Crawling, teething (6 to date), singing, drumming, wrist twirling/waving, eating everything.
Ben - I don't know how many lives he saved, but probably a lot. (I was witness to one recent display of excellent airway management and potential life-saving that occurred during a church service.) Did his thing as asst. ward clerk and sometimes EQ teacher. Snow/wake/and skateboarded on occasion. Frequently rocked out with the kids.
Me - Got WA Real Estate license (and renewed CA license for another 4 years), served in Primary as teacher, now secretary. Nurtured life day and night.
Looking forward to the following in 2011, besides Ben drinking less soda (you can make resolutions for other people can't you? If so, I am putting Kit on the same program, although that may be pushing it):
Reading - The Autobiography of Mark Twain, Vol. 1
Television - The Bachelor: Brad Womack. Our favorite bachelor returns Jan 3! (Besides this and a select few favorites I actually plan/hope for 2011 to involve less TV watching)
Growing - A rad garden with tomatoes that turn red (purple, yellow or whatever color they are supposed to end up)
Parties - I have a few ideas up my sleeve including a book exchange, an emergency preparedness block party, an anniversary party...and that just gets us to July.
Blogging - Besides catching up on the posts I never finished in 2010 (and at least one from 2009) I saw a great idea that I plan to implement which is to take a picture of the kids or family every Sunday and post it, so at least I have a weekly recording. I started this a few weeks ago but haven't gotten them up yet.
What you will not find me doing in 2011 -
Wearing pajama jeans. (Although I may sport a grey crew neck from time to time)

don't knock 'em till you try 'em, lynn. the pajama jeans are soft as a baby's blanket!
thanks for the info on the interrobang...cool!
I have loved doing the Sunday photos. It wil be so much fun to see how they change don't you think.
Also, a big thanks for the info on the best baby blankets ever. They totally are worth every penny.
p.s. I vote yes on the video.
I saw the video, and I all I remember is the shock factor, but not what brought it on. If you post it, I can't watch it until my baby and my uterus are safely intact--hopefully mid-March sometime.
I love this idea for an update, maybe I can 'catch up' by summing up an entire year.
Probably not.
love the yearly recap and how cool i was apart of it! miss you guys
