Sunday smiles

Day 6/365

 

They were all smiles this morning before church.  It had been a month since they have been able to go to Sunday school and Maddie was super excited.  This year she gets to go upstairs like the big kids do!  We ate lunch with some friends and then they invited us to go roller skating.  I had so much fun!  It was much easier than ice skating. 

Toe painting kind of day

Day 5/365

 

Today I slept a little too much, painted toe nails, and started taking down the Christmas decor.  Preston took down the Christmas lights outside (and slept too much ;-).  He is on vacation this week! 

Because You made us

Day 4/365

 

This morning as I was reading through some blogs Maddie brought me this piece of paper that says "God you are my friend cause You made us."  And then my heart melted.  As much as I want my kids to know right from wrong, I want them to desire a relationship with God.  Sometimes I think they "get it" more than I do.

Ihoping it. Yum!

Day 3/365

 

I have to admit I kept forgetting to take a pic throughout the day, but I think this bedtime bath pic couldn't be more perfect! 

Today we started back up with taekwondo after a short Christmas break and Brady and I got our yellow belts!!  Woot!  Woot!  As soon as we got home we headed back out to eat at our fairly new Ihop.  Kids eat free from 4-10 daily and we have been meaning to take advantage of that since they opened.  I have a feeling we will be Ihoping (or would it be Ihopping...hmmm) it more often.  Breakfast for supper is the best!

Ice Skating at the Galleria

Day 2/365

 

Today we decided to go to the Galleria in Dallas to ice skate!  Brady loved it and Madelyn got a blister but tried to enjoy it. 

Project 365

Day 1/365

 

Project 365 is going to be fun and probably a little bit challenging for me to keep up with at times! 

 

Today we did absolutely nothing but hang out and clean a little.  We have one week of vacation left before school starts back up and we get busy again.  Preston is off tomorrow and we hope to get out of the house and have a some fun!

 

Did anyone make some new year resolutions?

 

I have a few goals and things I want to work on this year:

*the biggest being losing 50-60 lbs!

(I'm 30 lbs down but have a ways to go =)

*read the Bible through this year

(have never done, but always wanted to!)

*run a 10k!!!!!

(or at least another 5k or 2 ;-)

*keep up with house work better

(I think this one is on my list every year...)

*put away the sweat pants and dress up more often

(I always feel better when I do!)

 

I'm not giving up anything at all...just want to find a good balance!

 

Hellooooo There!

Happy New Year everyone!!!

I am excited for 2013, how about you?!!

As you know, I haven't been keeping the blog updated.  Sorry!  I plan to do a better job this year of both taking and sharing our pics with you. 

The last couple of years I have read about people taking a picture a day for a whole year (I think it's called Project 365) and thought to myself how neat it would be to look back at a complete year in pictures.  So this year I am going to join in on the fun and do the pic a day and hopefully even get them posted daily on the blog!

Brady's 8th birthday party...just after a game of laser tag!

 

Christmas Eve 2012

 

I can't decide if I want to use the blog as more of a journal than I have in the past or just stick with mostly pics...  You can always ignore the "ramblings" and enjoy the pics if you like.

 

It's going to be a great year!!!

*I'll post pic 1/365 later this evening!
