Happy Easter from the Bloomer's!

Yesterday was our first Easter as a family of five! It was a busy day which started of course with the Easter Bunny paying a visit! What a smart Easter Bunny! He brought these wonderful gardening baskets for the girls!

James got an Easter basket too, but he seemed more interested in his thumb!

Then it was off to our family potluck and Easter Egg Hunt. The girls had a blast!

Go Ducks!

Go Ducks! Although we lost the National Championship, I love that we got a family picture of the deal!

Bloomer Family New Year's Resolutions

I thought it would be a good idea to post our family's New Year's Resolutions. This is our goals for the New Year as a family.

Bloomer Bunch New Year's Resolutions for 2011

1. Eat more at home
This means if Mom learns how to cook (which is her resolution). Cook more at home + eating as a family + eating out less = saving money

2. Eat dinner together as a family at the table
Not sure why this is so hard. Maybe because we have a small little dining room table. But it is so important to do!

3. Organize our house
Work on the clutter. Donate our toys and clothes to charities. We are going to be in our small house for a while and we need to make it work while we grow!

4. Tackle our family Budget
Enough said ...

5. Do more fun things together as a family
Watching TV does not count!
