Reasons I love my card swap! It is so nice to have a card on hand when you have birthday/holiday/WHATEVER come up. Can I consider a card stock part of my *food* storage?

Lil' Miss had her pajama party today at preschool. She was pretty excited to get to wear her PJ's all day and take her *puppy* to school for show-n-tell.

27/365

the phrase I like to use when describing maybe finally getting the hang of making bows for my girls the way I want is actually the title of I believe it is an Alabama song *close enough to perfect for me* :)

my beautiful baby boy!

24/365

today we celebrated January birthdays!

23/365

Mom is bound and determined to guilt Paula and I into starting a farmville.....I swore I wasn't gonna do it but aren't we suppose to obey our parents?

22/365

tonite we had a last minute girls night out - we went and saw the 10pm showing of The Blind Side and I am in LOVE with this movie. It was a much needed great night out with fun girlfriends which was made even better by it being an awesome movie!

21/365

HA! While feeling like crap i've been reliving the early 90's via youtube. It is almost scary the things that can be found on youtube w/out even searching for very long - I think I could relive my entire childhood!

20/365

U.G.H! I'm sick, 1/2 the kids are sick - we're surviving on puffs plus and vicks vapor rub!

19/365

Anna lost her 1st top front tooth today, I don't think it'll be long before she loses the 2 to the left of it. She's looking quite toothless at the moment since she's lost 4 bottom teeth and has only grown 2 back!

18/365

Today Morgan turned 19 months.

we celebrated both his 19th months and Aunt Lisa's 27th birthday with cupcakes made completely from scratch! YUMMY!

17/365

the date on the tag of this hat is 01/01 - which means this month this beautiful hat is celebrating 9 years this month. I have bought Nate at least 3 other hats to try to fill the shoes of this one and he always goes back to it. His mom and sister were quite grossed out by it today so it gets the joy of being POTD for 1/17/10.

16/365

today good things happened.

Uncle Dan came over and put a new furnace in for us - we once again have HEAT.

Then our newly turned 5 Mia got to go get her own library card. She is SO excited and picked out a bunch of barbie books and then we picked out some Berenstain Bears books for Bright and us to read all together.

15/365

oh my poor baby Morgan :(

what did we do to deserve you getting croup while everything else was going on :( 6 kids and this is the 1st time i've ever had to deal with croup - it's so SO sad!

14/365

after a solid 30 years of service Nate and I received a phone call to come home ASAP that the house had a horrid smell of melting plastic coming through the vents. So we rushed home and unfortunately for us our old furnace gave up the ghost....the motor burned up and they don't even sell this furnace anymore so .....bye bye buddy

remember this post well i'd like to tell you I did a great job with that! and even if you look REALLY closely at this picture - under ALL of those clothes on my bed that I have to put away from vacation (at least I managed to get them clean before coming home) my bed is made - aren't you proud of me.

Anyway - I need hangers and so this is my 3rd POTD!

unfortunately on 1/2/10 we were in our car ALL THE LIVE LONG DAY and my camera was in the back in it's new comfy bag so these pictures were taken pretty much in the dark and with my cell phone - but they are some of the highlights - Brighton peeing on the side of the road, me eating loads of good n plentys, kids watching movies on my laptop and Belle and Bright pretty darn worn out!

Happy New Year's from (most) of our family to yours!
