New Years Resolution!

So, my New Year's resolution this year was to stop drinking all soda's and drinking less sweet tea. I had previously cut myslef back realizing I consumed way to many and doing so, I began drinking lots more sweet tea. I felt that just cutting back wasn't enough, so that's when I came up with my resolution. Just an FYI, I have never been the type to make resolutions, because I figured I would never stick to them, and that there would never be any point in making one.

However, this year I had a little inspiration, when one of the girls in our youth group went vegan for 2011, and the previous year, she went without sodas, I decided to give it a try. What teenager do you know could be dedicated enough to not drink sodas for a year and then transition to becoming a vegan for another year. I was so blown away by her determination, that I felt I could do it too. (This year her resolution is no junk food.)

So I'm writing this post to brag on myself. Today it has been a month since I have had a coke of any kind, and I'm doing very well in the less super sweet tea department as well. WOOHOO! Now for my confession - the first week was terrible. I wanted a Dr. Pepper so bad. Now, I see people drinking cokes and it doesn't bother me as bad. I'm not going to lie though, I would give almost anything to get a Large Diet Vanilla Coke from Dairy Queen.

And as this month is coming to an end, Yahoo! had an article I thought was interesting. I posted it below.

After reading this article, my children are no longer allowed to drink Mountain Dew.

Closing out 2011 & Project 47-52

So I failed in my attempt to do the project 52 - one photo a week for the whole year. I got behind SEVERAL times and had to play catch up. I ended up with only 46 posts. While I did fail, I'm amazed at what I did accomplish to post.
So now I'm going to finish posting projects 47 - 52 plus some all in one post. HA!!

Brie bought this outfit with her Birthday money. She was so proud of herself.

Indian Brodie Boy - love that face!

One weekend when my brother and his family came down,

we were definately safe with Batman, Superman,

& a half naked Zorro in the house.

My hubby and his buck - he was so proud of this. He hasn't hunted

since we got married, and finally decided to start again after 6 years.

Brie was being a scientist and put on Brodie's goggles. They played outside

when we were putting up the Christmas lights.

We went to see the Fantasy of lights again this year.

These four kids just make my world go round!!

She just HAD to have her picture taken in front

of Cinderella's carriage.

True love!!! My brother and S-I-L

Project 52-45

Under the supervision of Hunny, Brie made this pumpkin for the pumpkin contest at the library. She was excited and was so sure she would win something with this pumpkin. Unfortunately she didn't, but her daddy made her an award. It was the sweetest thing.
