it's 7:33pm on new years eve. corey and i are minuets away from tucking our littles into bed and continuing our nye tradition of take out and movies. i love ending the year like this. seems like the perfect bookend to wonderful yet far from perfect year.

i have tons of dreams for 2013. some i can accomplish on my own. some will need a straight up divine intervention.

i always thought girls needed sisters like we need air to breath but after coming upon this i think who needs sisters?

Especially, when you have a little brother who adores you and brings his wresting buddies to a tea party with your dolls.

I have to admit I am a bit relieved the whirlwind is over. The only thing left to do is relax and enjoy our christmas gifts cozy in our little house.

Christmas 2012

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

where are we now?

Since I stopped blogging on my first blog my family has been busy getting older{tears}. Here is a little update to get everyone up to speed on our life.

Gracie (aka Sassy, Sass, Sassy Girl, Gracie-Kate)

Gracie1

Gracie2

She is the big 5 and in Kindergarten. I can hardly believe it! I knew she would do well in school even being one of the youngest in her class. She has even more independendence(I never thought that was possible), bright and funny! Just to give you a taste of her personality this is what she said to me after her first day of school.

"I love school. I want to be full day. Tomorrow do not walk me into my classroom!"

yeah, I know we are in trouble!


Noah (aka Noey, Noey Tom, Noey Baby, Stink)

Noah1

Noah2

Noah is 3 and not in school. Funny story, Noah is a preschool drop out:). We tried. He cried. I cried. We gave up. Right now Noah is content to just be little. He tells me he will go to school when he is 4 and then he says, "don't worry I will be 3 forever." Oh lordy! Can you say mamas boy!(secretly I love it)

Sam (aka Sammy, Sammy baby, Sammy Sousa)

Sam is 2 and busy being the worlds best dog. I can't tell you how much we love him. Somedays he is my favorite kid:).


Corey and I are just literally living in their world and couldn't be happier. We remodeled our kitchen and bathroom this summer. that was fun <----------- SARCASM. More on that later.

Fresh Start

My hubby got me this for Christmas...

Mac

EEKKKKK!!

I am so excited. I registered this blog a while back because I wanted to start blogging again on a blank canvas but life got in the way and I never got around to it. My guy knows how hard it is for me to sit down at the big iMac but with this beautiful laptop I can blog from anywhere in the house, like at the kitchen table while sass does her homework, in my bed while I satisfy my addiction to nick@nite daily or like right now cuddling with my baby boy on the couch while he watches Sponge Bob.

Super excited to decorate this white canvass.
