The start of a new year is a great time to reflect on the previous year and set goals for the next year. Although last year was only about 8 months for me, I still made more lasting memories than I could possibly write about in my blog. But I’d be remiss if I didn’t list a few highlights. I guess I should start with last April, I was born. Though at first it didn’t seem that great-it was cold, loud, and spacious-it quickly grew on me and I fell in love with any warm body that was willing to hold me—while standing. Cousin Camden’s kisses came early and often and haven’t stopped since, he and Ashton are great cousins and playmates.
In June we relocated to Chelan, WA for our first summer in the waterpark business. All I can say is that it is going to be tough for future summers to compare to the fun I had in my first summer. Between bonding with our roommates, our visitors to Chelan and all the milestones I reached, it was one unbelievable summer.
We came back to Tucson at the end of September after a fantastic road trip down the West Coast and have been enjoying each other, our Arizona family and friends and the weather daily. I try to let Mom & Dad handle the stressful stuff and just smile as much as possible—God is good, so why not smile.
2010 is going to be an adventure and I have some goals to make sure I take full advantage of all of God’s blessings. I am getting closer and have already been working really hard on my first goal—walking. I am pulling myself up on anything and everything in sight and I’ve taken more falls than the housing market. Mom & Dad are worried I’m going to look like Rocky at the end of a fight before I figure out how to balance, but I am going to continuing with my adventurous spirit and hope for the best. My second goal of the year is to learn to swim before we go to Washington for the summer. I am going to start lessons this spring and will learn to turn face-up in the water, float and breathe without swallowing water. I already love bath time, so I figure I should move onto a bigger tub.
My last goal for this year will have to wait until July, but come July I hope to be the best big sister possible.

Next year my Tucson crew will be rolling four deep.
Dad was doing the dishes and I wanted to help so I stood up on the dishwasher by myself and offered a helping hand.
I find that smiling is a great way to make other people feel good.
The holiday season can be exhausting. Dad and I were surfing the web and I fell asleep in his lap with my head on the table. He was nice enough to move me to my bed--after he took a picture of course.
