My mama

Today is my mama's birthday!  She's the coolest lady ever.  I love spending time with my mom, and it seems like everything we do together is fun and exciting.  We text about 20 times a day, and it's weird to me if I don't know where she is.  We laugh about the same things, say the same things at the same time, and love the same tv shows.  She also really loves my hootie and has been such a good Grandma.  A few weeks ago I had to get all of my photos off of my old computer when it started to crash, and at that time I noticed that I had about 3 million pictures of my mom holding K.   Happy Birthday mom!  Here are a few of my favorites of you and K, and I can't wait to see you soon!

11 months

My little hootie is growing up a little too fast for me.   Luckily, I have 7.5 million photos documenting my baby getting bigger.  I took a few of her and Brent the other day... there was some really pretty light coming in.

good times and resolutions

So here are my resolutions:
1. Always acknowledge when someone has gone above and beyond what is expected, or just what I'm really grateful for.  Say I get awesome service at a store, I want to call the manager and say how great the employee is.  Or if a friend of family member helps me out with something, I want to write a thank you note, or even do something unexpected for them.  That's my number one resolution.  Take the time to thank people,
2.  Lose weight.  Enough about that.

And a few more that I will be stoked if they happen, but understand if they don't
3.  Keep my house super clean and organized
4.  Use more lotion.  I'm getting nervous about wrinkles
5.  Take pictures of things I don't usually take-  sunsets, or architecture, etc.

Okay!  Well, here are a few pictures and moments from the last few days.  We had an ugly Christmas sweater party Friday night, a new years eve party last night, and spent the afternoon with my grandparents today.

I only took one picture Friday night, but it's a cute one!

Sadie did such an amazing job with the new years eve party.  She had everything displayed so nicely, and all of the food was delicious!!  It was also really fun to spend time with our friends!

It was wonderful to spend the afternoon today with my grandparents.  K was such a ham!  My grandma said she's just make a "simple little lunch."  We had a beef roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, coleslaw, corn, jello with mandarin oranges, buns, and pumpkin pie.    : )

Happy New Year!
