Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans...

One of my favorite John Lennon songs...and it rings so true on this last day of 2012. What an amazing year...so many things to be thankful for and how blessed are we in my little family.

Our babies are healthy and happy, Henry and I are celebrating our 12th year of marriage. We finally have booked another trip down to Mexico to see all of our extended family this spring after five years. Most of the family have never met Cruz and haven't seen Victoria since she was 18 months old. We have reconnected with friends past and made new friends this year. Fostered new, budding friendships and watched our children blossom into little people, developing their own thoughts and opinions and nurtured their loving ways.

We made big goals at the beginning of this year and I am happy and proud to say that we met them. We were able to continue on the path that we began at the end of 2010. For 2013, my focus is family. My husband's is preparation. So our motto this year is PREPARE.

We have so many exciting things on our horizon...so much potential and things we would love to have happen...like expanding our family, buying a house...and other plans we are putting into action...like starting the savings for the new truck that will bring so much to our family, getting completely out of debt, paying off all of my student loans and continuing our journey of health and wellness with the whole family. I am looking forward to Cruzie boy starting "raceball" (baseball) and Victoria starting her second season with Tustin Girls Softball.

Cheers to a fantastic year!

Sporty Weekends

Its a gloomy kind of day over here in usually sunny Southern California and while our normal routine on Saturday is to be up and at'em getting ready for softball...we are on a bye this weekend. Lazy Saturday ensues. I am debating on what to enroll Victoria in next. She loves to swim that I am thinking maybe a swim team?? Or soccer?? We shall see what I finally decide on. On a more exciting note my hubby is in the same state as us and is coming home in a week! YAY! It has been a L-O-N-G four weeks and I am ready for him to be home with us.

Happy Weekend!
