30 Things to Do before I'm 30!

My 30th birthday is looming over me...A bunch of my high school friends are making lists of thirty things to accomplish before thirty so I want to do the same!  My list is going to be really easy though because after baby comes I will be pretty busy I imagine :) 

1.  Send out birth announcements/Christmas cards...never done it before!
2.  Can some kind of jam...never done it before!
3.  Get rid of binkies and bottles for Kendra before she is two!
4.  Teach Trace to dress himself.
5.  Update Trace and Kendra's scrapbooks.
6.  Make and store at least 3-5 freezer meals the week before baby is due. 
7.  Go see the midnight showing of Breaking Dawn with friends :)
8.  Sew carseat canopy for Baby Jack.
9.  Read Book of Mormon between September and December.
10.  One night indulge in all my pregnancy cravings (meatball sub from Subway, cheese puffs, Dr Pepper and a cookie dough shake to wash it all down)
11.  Gifts for a needy family at Christmas
12.  Lose thirty pounds by my birthday!  ...Delivering a baby counts! 
13.  Go berry picking with family
14.  Take family to pumpkin patch
15.  Write in my journal every Sunday
16.  Get Christmas treats out early to neighbors and friends
17.  Go on one date a month with Kody without kids!
18.  Try one new recipe a month
19.  Visit visiting teaching ladies each month.
20.  Teach my kids to do daily chores.
21.  Overnight trip somewhere with Kody for anniversary in October. 
22.  Sign Trace up for sports
23.  Learn a new piano song perfectly.
24.  Have a baby!  (This one is kinda cheating but I am running out of ideas)
25.  Prepare temple names.
26.  Read a book in my field of study (school counseling or Hispanic student issues)
27.  Take a Love and Logic course through the Elementary School
28.  Figure out how to do that blog thing where it crosses out my sentence when I accomplish a task!
29.  Read On Becoming Babywise again so this baby will sleep through the night by 3 months.
30.  Enjoy being in my twenties until April!

I LOVE this..hope you accomplish everything.
Don't know if I have enough time before my b-day to do 40 things before I'm 40..it's in October. Yikes! Maybe I can adapt and use my whole 40th year. :)
I expect you to be calling my house, for babysitters, so you can go on dates with Kody. :)

How about adding, Allow Kody to come see his friend Jon in Logan, so they can enjoy A & W and go camping.

Hope all is well Lisa and Nino, and Lisa i hope you get to accomplish all of your list.
