Goodbye 2012...

I just realized, it's 11:54 on New Year's Eve and I haven't done my "last entry" for the year. If I don't do it before the end of the year, when I go to print my blog book for the year... it wont be right! Ha ha

So, here I am, not feeling all that thought provoked, but wanting to put a cap on this year's blog book! I'm thankful for so many things, as always and this year has been pretty crazy. My business has grown and I have SO enjoyed learning and growing as a photographer. I've met so many fun families and gotten to be a part of making their memories.

This year..... Matthew started school. That is a big deal for so many reasons. He's our last, so it's the last time for this and that all the time. We're just about at the end of pullups at night too! Actually, he used the last one and didn't want me to buy more... so, my hope is that I've washed a wet bed for the last time too! Ha ha ha (Sorry buddy, when you're older that wont be funny to you, but it's my life right now!)

I'm thankful that we were able to pay off my heart medical bills, and even our credit cards! There's always something to pay, but it's fun to be able to say we've "paid off."

THE PRESSURE... I'm down to 3 minutes to finish! LOL

This year, we're looking forward to all that God has for us! We're looking forward to keeping the peace we love so much in our home and the joy in our boys' eyes! I love my man and my boys and I'm so thankful for the life God has blessed us with. It's not always easy, but I love the ones I'm walking this life with!

Ugh, I gotta go! Happy New Year!!!!!..... Nicole

Definition of Lazy Bones...

Matthew had a lazy day in his PJ's with "Chocolate" the cat. I laughed when I looked over and saw the cat laying on his back. These two were the perfect lazy pair today. :)

Battery Science...

Dada and Joe were enjoying some time working on Joe's new book about the energy science using batteries. It was a fun find at the Exploritorium. He ended up making a fan. :) Joe really enjoyed the time with Dad being scientists!

"I couldn't help it."

Joe was up before the rest of us. He told me, "I couldn't help it, Mama!" My sweet boy has a sweet tooth. :)

Rainy day fun at Armstrong Redwoods!

We had a fun day visiting Armstrong Redwoods with Nana and Papa while they were visiting for Christmas! The boys and I happen to be wearing our rain boots and had fun stepping in just about every puddle. ;) I love adventures with my boys!

"What's that Mama?"

Matthew had no idea what "this machine" was! Aaron and I cracked up, and I had to snap a shot... of course!
