Some Resolutions Completed

I was briefly reviewing my New Year's resolutions and I realized I've actually completed some. Others have gone out the window given my current condition, but here is the update.

• Take a real family vacation and go somewhere exciting. The first week of April we spent a week in California and we visited Legoland, Sea World, the San Diego Zoo, the beach and Pacific Ocean, and the San Diego Temple.
• Figure out some way to combine 2 spring birthdays without minimizing the importance of each child and breaking the bank on birthday parties. We are actually going to have two separate parties over the next two Saturdays to try to keep life low key and not wear Mom out too much. Thanks to Oriental Trading we got some inexpensive and fun party favors.
• Potty train Bekah. We finally found the right motivator for Bekah back in February. She decided that if her friends could use the potty then she could too. Now she wears big girl underwear all of the time, even at night. We still have an accident or two once in a while, but for the most part she tells us when she needs to go and uses the potty successfully every day.
• Have my wisdom teeth pulled. Thankfully that was done before we found out we were going to be adding to our family this year. Yay for having less pain in my mouth every day!

Unfortunately, losing weight and starting a business have taken a backseat for now. I am pleasantly surprised that I have completed so many things I set out to do this year. The other goals are underway and that feels good too.
