Happy Valentines Day!


Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!  I have never met a holiday I didn't support, so Valentine's Day is no different!  When naysayers complain it is a "Hallmark Holiday" I say that if it bothers you so much, don't shop at Hallmark! :)  Any reason to celebrate the ones you love is great in my book.  I hope you have your own love to celebrate with - whether it is a family member, pet, significant other, friend, etc!  Some #TBT (Throwback Thursday) pics with my Valentine below.

Happy 1 1 11


Happy New Year!
The math teacher in me loves that today is 1.1.11
When my sister got engaged, I told her she should have picked today as her wedding date (she is a math teacher also) but, she didn't want a winter wedding, so they are getting married in April.
How did you ring in the New Year?
Last night we went to our friends, The Hagen's for dinner & games.
I made my favorite cupcakes, of course :)
I can't believe I didn't take any other pictures of New Year's Eve!
We were too busy hanging out, laughing, eating, trying to tame my children & playing cribbage (Wendy & I dominated the guys, FYI).
The Hagen kids went to bed at a normal time (8:30) but our girls napped until 5:30 yesterday, so we didn't attempt to put them down at The Hagen's house & we got home a little after 11:30. Both girls were so hyper and and both girls ended up staying up until midnight!
Let's just say this morning was rough...they clearly did not get enough sleep!

I love the beginning of a New Year.
It is like a fresh start, a clean slate.
I am one of those people who does resolutions every year
(and, I pretty much fail at them every year)

I need to finish up my resolutions for this year...stay tuned!

I am also one of those people who feels the need to clean everything out for the New Year & organize my house for the start of the New Year.
Am I the only one who does that?
And, since school starts back up again on Monday, I really need to get organized/mentally prepared after having 2 glorious weeks off.

Hope you have enjoyed your New Year's Weekend!

Happy First Birthday Porter!


My sweet baby boy, today you are ONE! I just cannot get past the bittersweet feelings on your big day, Porter. Bitter because time is a real beast as a mom; it's going too quickly and my baby isn't a wrinkly newborn anymore. Sweet because you are pure perfection and the best little caboose to our family, I'm not sure how we managed without you.

I will do a twelve month post for you soon, complete with descriptions about all you're doing these days. Rest assured, because you know I love talking about you in detail and I will maybe have a few (hundred) pictures to share from your big day.

Today you have your party, where with many of our friends and family will cheer you on as you eat cake. GoGo flew in from Colorado and we all plan to snuggle you extra aggressively this weekend, as the man of the hour. We love to celebrate you, Porter, and we are so happy you are growing and thriving and becoming such a little person.

I made this slideshow this week, because I will be damned if I don't at least *attempt* to keep things equal between siblings when it comes to my over-the-top documentation ways. Your party is not going to be as crafty and elaborate as Truman and Cecelia had it as one year olds, but I certainly took more pictures of you in your first year of life than I did for them. So the slideshow is a little long and makes me extra weepy and YOU ARE JUST A JOY, buddy. Thank you for being here and for completing our family. You make me want at least ONE more Porter because I just can't get enough of your sweet cheeks.

You're the happiest, you're the silliest, you're our favorite little baby-turned-one-year-old in the history of ever.

We love you more than words. We are so glad you're ours.
