2012 - goal, post more

I have to admit, blogging is not my favorite. But we are going to try to post more...the goal is once a week (even if it is just a picture and one sentence)!

I have been trying this new scrapbook thing - a picture a day. So far, it is about every other day and several on Saturdays. Here are a few of our days:

The year always starts out great with my birthday! January 4. My boys spoiled me, and it was a great day! Josh and Brayden started my day with breakfast in bed, Josh made cheese eggs and Brayden made toast:

(I know I look super attractive in this picture and mostly asleep)

Then for my 29th birthday I finally gave into this skinny jean look, I always thought they weren't for me, but I dressed bulky on top and I thought they looked pretty good.

Josh took me to the mall, lunch at Zupas and then we went and saw New Year's Eve, while Brayden was in school. When he got home we did homework and he gave me some beautiful bracelets (the picture turned out dark, and we have vampire eyes but here it is):

Then we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse, followed by mint chocolate cake and ice cream at my house with my parents.

Happy 29th Birthday to me!

January 5th Brayden had a substitute at school, and he brought home some origami, with a cute note for Josh and I. It was a sweet surprise!

January 7th Brayden had his first Junior Jazz game of the year, it was super entertaining. It was also the first major snow storm of the year, so after the game we built a snowman. Such a fun day!

Brayden is #25

Us moving the head over to the top of the snowman!

Ta Da!

January 10, I asked josh to go to the store to get this:

So I could finish making dinner - manicotti, yum!

January 11: I had a gift certificate to get a pedicure and a manicure from my sweet parents. I decided to get that new stuff, called shellac on my nails...I am fighting the addiction to return to get my nails done in 4 weeks. They turned out so great! I am so rough on my nails, but with this shellac I can clean, wash dishes, whatever and they still look beautiful!

January 13: Friday night, Brayden loves cars and races and tournaments. He let me take this picture of him and the winning cars lined up in order from 1st to last. He is such a boy.

January 14th: I watched my niece and nephews for a few hours, after their mom came my niece begged to stay for a little longer, so she stayed for another hour and she wanted her nails done.

January 17: I am battling a sinus infection...so I layed low today, but my nephew needed a babysitter cause his usual tuesday babysitter had sick kids. We played games all day.
