Goals for 2011

Sunday during family council we set our goals for 2011. Kurt gave me a special treat and let me attend his one-on-one interviews with the kids so I could write down their goals.

FAMILY
1. Individual prayers {we are to ask each other how we're doing.}
2. Morning Devotional at 7 AM {on our clock, so really 6:50 normal time.}
3. Monthly Service Projects
4. Dinner together EVERY night
5. Keep the suburban clean! {Saturday is the designated cleaning out day.}

Each kid came into their interview with goals they wanted to accomplish. I love that they had thought about it and their ideas were great. For the 3 oldest kids they all came up with the first 2 ideas on their own.

AUSTIN
1. Keep my room clean every day. {love it!}
2. Read the Book of Mormon before I am baptized {he just finished 2 Nephi.}
3. Be obedient.
4. Practice the piano 5 days a week.
5. Learn one new Spanish word every day.

2. Read 2-3 verses in the Book of Mormon every night.
3. Keep taking art lessons and put art in the fair this summer.
