Resolutions? Yeah, not really my thing. I hate failure, and let's face it...resolutions are the perfect set up for failure. But I just read Rachaels new post...and I gotta say, I'm inspired. It's true, this year has passed with so many amazing and wonderful things that have happened and it's a shame that my blog has little to show for it. The whole reason I started bloginatin in the first place was to journal and eventually publish this shiz to have forever. So although I am not a fan of resolutions, of any kind, I figured I might just have to make this one exception. I am not as ambitious however, as Rach is to blog every day...good luck with that. But, to blog more often seems more attainable to me. So there it is, my official resolution; to blog "more often." (I refuse to specify what that means)
Here are a few things from 2010 to get this back up to date...well, somewhat.
*Steve has become more involved in Krush hitting camps. He plans on growing with the company in hopes of eventually doing this as a full time gig. He also, had his first year as the Chiawana Riverhawks JV baseball coach. Holla
*Trenton graduated pre-school...for reals, and is having an awesome year in kindergarten.
*Another fantastic season of sports. Easton is still passionate about baseball and taking advantage of having Steve as a full time coach at his side.
*Graycie dominated as goalie this year in soccer. She has such a competitive edge, and it is fun to watch her grow in this sport. (until she can play volleyball, that is)
*Trenton started playing teeball for the first time. And as boring as this 'so called' sport is, he kept me entertained with his frequent posing for the camera and "water breaks" (this usually meant he wanted to see if Gramma brought any snacks)
*Easton turned 10! Graycie turned 8! Trenton turned 6! and Tyson turned 4!
*Steve and his buddy coached a tournament team that took us on an awesome trip to Seattle.
*We (Me, Steve, Kimmie, Easton, and Tyson) went to a Mariners game.
*Nothing like being at a ball park. Nowhere else would I pay 6 bucks for a bottle of water.
*We went to Eugene to an Oregon Ducks game. "OOOOOOOOOOOOHHH"
*Steve took me to Safeco for Mothers day. :) Easton got to bring his friend Tra for his birthday too. We ate at the Cheesecake factory...my first time. (won't be my last)
*Another AMAZING family vacation to the coast. Something we look forward to every year. This vacation never disappoints. Is it June yet???
*We had an awesome camping trip to Lake Roosevelt with the Reids. We swam, tubed, played games, hiked, roasted marshmallows, boated, and chilled around the campfire. A perfect camping trip. Oh, and I took some senior pictures for Makenzie. (Did a little trespassing, but got some awesome shots.)
*One of the senior pics.
I got to experience Pike Place Market...for the first time. I loved everything about it. Next time I would like to experience it sometime other than SeaFair. It was so packed, which made it hard to truly experience it with four kids.
*Steve and his Mom were more than impressed with the size of the pots.
*We survived another year at the Halloween store. Holy crap, the things we do for Christmas money.
*Graycie got baptized!!!! A long time coming, but it finally happened, and it couldn't have been more beautiful.
I can say without hesitation that the most AMAZING event that took place in 2010 was my Mom surviving a brain aneurysm. Yep, that's right...she's a rockstar!!! She shocked everyone (including her neurosurgeon) at how quickly she recovered from this. I believe she has a super healing power of some sort...in fact, I'm sure of it. No one, recovers like she did...no.one. Talk about 'count your blessings' I am so grateful and relieved that things worked out the way the did. I have a renewed faith in the power of prayer and priesthood blessings.
2010 definitely gave us a ride...one I won't be waiting in line to ride again. Onto the next I say, onto the next.

I was about to comment, and then I looked down and saw the date of your last post. April? Seriously? Holy cow woman! Seriously tho, I loved your post! You did have an eventful year, on to the next is right my friend!!On to the next...
Oh Lisa, you're such a talented bloginater. First time at Pike's Place, really? That's just crazy. We really do need to work on publishing our blogs...there's just too much good stuff packed in them to let them just float out in the internet atmosphere.
2010 was a big year...but for all that we experienced and survived I too am most grateful that we were granted such a wonderful gift as that of Grandma Pj's ability to kick the heck out of a more than tough situation! Yes Leese, the power of prayer and the priesthood. I love and the brown stranger loves that you guys are posting again! This is such a treat for us:) It helps keep life in prospective...tonite Don and I were looking thru the older calendars and it shows how fast time is going by. The kids are growing up so fast. Keep up the good work, something is better than nothing and it's good for your blog stalking family to have something fun to look forward to:)
Bloginatin'...awesome. Loved this post. Keep up the bloginatin'!
Totally why I don't make resolutions, either. I hate failure. So why would I set myself up for it? I know, totally pessimistic of me, right? No, really more like realistic. I love your total non-committal resolution, though. Refusing to specify what "more" means. Awesome. That's my kind of resolution. Love that your blogging and love to see those pics of your family. On to the next...
