1-Take a trip without the kids.
Check! We are going to Mexico in March for free! Yay! Cody has a business credit card that he uses to order supplies and pay for lab fees that accumulates points you can trade in for hotels, flights, etc. We have enough points from the 2009 expenses to pay for not only our stay, but my sister and her husband are coming too and we have points to pay for their hotel as well!
2- Get pregnant.
Check! Baby #4 is arriving mid-July! We're excited, possibly a bit crazy, but excited for our new arrival. I'm 13 weeks right now and feeling pretty good. Heather, my sister, is due 4 weeks before me, so our trip to Mexico will be our Baby Moon. : ) And for those of you figuring out how far apart our kids are - yes they are close, but we like em that way! Tucker and Aubrey are 18 months apart, Aubrey and Cole are 22 months and Cole and this baby will be 18 months.
3- Try a new recipe every week.
I do not have a passion for cooking, so in hopes to instill some love and acquire new recipes our family enjoys, I'm going to try something new every week. I have a ton of cookbooks so that shouldn't be too hard. If you have great recipes that you want to share, send them over!
4- Be in my dad's piano recital in May.
We bought a used piano from my Mom's friend right after Cole was born last year. My dad is amazing at the piano, it's what he does for a living, and sadly none of us kids took after him. I've been told I had the most potential, so I'm going to start practicing and memorizing and I plan to be in his recital this spring. It's been more than 12 years since I was in the last one, so we'll see how it goes.
Well, that's it for now. I have other goals, but none quite as exciting as goal number 2!

Wow! Congrats on the baby! Your Mexico trip sounds fun as well!
Lisa!! Yay for another baby!! That's awesome! You are better than me... my goals this year include being more patient with my kids; I really want another one, but I'm too grumpy of a mom to handle it just yet. You are so amazing!
Hooray for #4. That is really great!
Congratulations Lisa! That is exciting! The Baby Moon sounds like fun too. I want you to have a girl because then you would be the picture of the perfect family. (Oh right, you already are!) Love ya! So happy for you!

Lisa - those goals are so great. I love that you are going to do that piano thing - that is HUGE. Good luck. And I'm excited that you are pregnant! That is so great. 4 kids! a family of 6!! And I love that you and Heather are going to have kids close. That is fun. Have fun in Mexico!
Congratulations on # 4, that is so exciting! Your trip to Mexico sounds like it will be fun too! A trip without kids is one of my goals also. Aaron graduates in May and we are hoping to go on a cruise in Sept. Your family is so cute, I am so happy for you!
Congratulations! Now I see why your friend wrote that you were running out of room at your kitchen table. ;)
Mexico sounds fun and what is better than a free trip?
Congratulations again.
What the heck! What about taking your Brother and your sister-in-law to Mexico huh? And the piano thing..I have the most potential not you! Remember our testing in Denver years ago???? plus...I am the OLDest! lol.

Well Congrats Miss Lisa. The Calderwood kids are very cute, so I have no objections to there being as many as possible!
Good luck with the recipes & the piano. That makes for one busy momma!
