January – thus far

Well, it is already the start of a new year!  I can’t believe it, time sure does just continue to fly by!  This is my first year in a long time that I will not have a baby OR get/be pregnant.  I feel as if I am entering a new stage of life!  This year I will be entering my 30’s!  And for some of you that seems like no big deal but to me it is HUGE!

New Years Eve – We celebrated by going out to dinner at Oliver’s Pizza & Pub.  It has quickly become one of our go to places!  I love the burgers & Dusty loves the pizza & they always have a nice selection of drinks 🙂 Then we attempted to go shopping but turns out most places close early 😦  Then we went and saw the new (obviously) Star Wars movie.  Dusty enjoyed it a lot & I thought it was a fine movie, not knowing any of the past movies it was a little confusing at times 😉

New Years Day – I had wanted to get up and make these Diebles for breakfast b.c. I always had them as a kid the morning of New Years Day…but turns out I don’t have the discipline my mom has/had and I chose to sleep 😀 So we had them with our dinner.  They are a symbol of peace & a fun little tradition I would like to carry on.  They are supposed to be like Dove’s this year they were better than last & hopefully the trend continues b/c they kind of look like tusk-less walruses 😀

Jan. 2nd – we had a light dusting of snow & so I sent EVERYONE out to play in the snow.  This is the first year everyone, ahem…EVERYONE has snow gear 😀  New gloves for Christmas too!  And this gave me the opportunity to get some cleaning done 🙂

Lazy days – And now since Dusty is back at work (he was home for a little over 2wks) we are getting back into routines & we have started to play in the basement a lot.  Although one day I found Dez tired and lounging on Dom’s bean bag chair (hers is the hot pink one to the left) Each of the kids received one for Christmas this year so that has made tv & movie time more fun!

Like I said Dusty is back to work, Gia is back to PreK 3 days a week, Oli is back to Kindergarten 5 full days a week & I am back to working Monday & Wednesday (normally) at Great Harvest.  Dom is back to being Mommy’s buddy & every time I get dressed to leave he says “I Come Too!” It is precious and also heartbreaking, b.c. of course Mommy enjoys time away too 🙂

Anyways here is to a new year & hopefully updating more!!!

Much Love!
