A First

In honor of January 1st, I thought I would post one of Chad's first.

We got the boys a trampoline for Christmas.  As Chad and I were setting it up, he casually mentioned that he had never been on a trampoline.

<<>>

"What??? You have never jumped or even been a trampoline?"

Though he is significantly over the weight limit... especially with the boys on it, I said he needed to experience it.

And so... he did. And I laughed and realized yet again how awkward he can be sometimes.

His first jump

No words

Though the jumping was funny, I got totally tickled when he attempted to get down.

Attempt #1

Belly got in the way

Attempt #2

With help from Ashton.  I thought he might just topple out head first

 Funny stuff I tell ya... funny stuff.

As 2013 is officially done, I look back on the year and realize how blessed we were.  We brought home baby boy #4, Chad got a new/ much better job, we listed our house, sold our house and made a bit on it, nice beach vacation, bought a new house, made it through football season, and have adjusted to life in a new place.  Not bad for a year.

Now looking at 2014, I see areas that need improvement.  Like everyone, I want to tone up.  Sure losing a few more pounds would be nice but I just really want to tone up the area that has housed 4 beautiful little boys.  :)
I also want to get back in the Word.  I have majorly slacked since Bennett was born... struggling to find my rhythm again.  Any suggestions for good Bible studies or a favorite book of the Bible?
 And lastly, to firm up on finances. We have both been a little lose on spending since we moved.  I think we are both set to make wiser decisions for the ol budget.

So, no ground breaking resolutions, just little things to make life smoother!

Hope you all have a Happy New Year!
