The Jones Family

The last day of the month comes and to keep my goal of blogging alive, here it is.

We celebrated Brian's birthday this month. It was exciting for him, not so much for us though. In the wee hours of the morning, we made him breakfast, wished him a Happy Birthday, and he opened his cards and present. It was nice. Brian was then off to work for a half day. The other half he spent with friends on the mountain boarding. He loved his birthday!


One thing that I was able to do was make a cake for a friend's daughter this month.  It was her 8th birthday so it needed to be a special cake. I made her a Belle cake from Beauty and the Beast. I learned a lot from that adventure. I have also created my own cream cheese fondant recipe that was told to me from experts that it couldn't be done. It isn't as easy to work with as regular fondant, but it tastes a whole lot better!




Another exciting thing is that we are now pre-qualified to buy a home. We just have to find one now.

The rest of the month has been filled with taking Tyler to school, shopping, cleaning and cooking. Just about the average thing I do.

  

I've noticed that my last two posts were from different years so that means I have an average of one post a year.

So far this year I have done two things that I only did once last year, post a comment and wash my car. This year I would like to make my 2012 goals of those that I only do once or a few times. I already have two goals set! Here are some more goals that I want to do more of:

1. Wash my car once a quarter or more if needed.
2. Write a blog post once a month, summarizing that month, or more if needed.
3. Finish reading both (not just one) of the conference Ensigns before the next General Conference.
4. Share the gospel with someone.
5. My annual goal of reading a church book (other then the scriptures), and another book. 

I know that I can do these things since I half did them the year before, this year I will just be improving. Good luck to everyone else with their goals for 2012!
