Voting Time

My friend Mandi wrote about what kind of animals her and her family look like. This is a game my friend Kristen used to play with friends and strangers. So now I need your vote!

What animal does best represents Jon?

I was originally stumped but then I narrowed it down to a bear (because he is cuddly and loves the mountains). But then, the other day it hit me. He is a monkey. That is my vote.

Opinions? Other suggestions?

I am known by most as a deer or a dinosaur. I prefer thinking I am a deer. What do you think?

Snow Day!

Last Thursday evening we received the most miniscule amount of snow. A lot of the schools were put on delay for the next day BEFORE it even snowed. Once it started snowing, most of the schools were cancelled. Jon's school went on a 2 hour delay. So we slept in and went to work and most of the snow was already gone, it was fun!

Today we had some kind of weird hail/ice and so all of the school dismissed around 9. All my sessions were cancelled and I worked from home. Jon was home by 11 and worked next to me. I am still in my pajamas and it is almost 6pm. I could get used to the Friday snow days.

Who is ready for summer?!

We may be in the South but it is FREEZING here!

Super Sonic Sunday

I have no idea why I titled this post that way, other than the fact that it is Sunday (or it was when I started this post). But anyway...I have some New Year's Resolutions for the year, most of which revolve around being more spiritual and more grateful. I won't bore you with posting them all, but I will say two of them. The first one we are doing as a couple- A Gratitude Jar. Basically you write down your blessings throughout the year and then read them on New Years Eve so you have a year worth of blessings recorded. The second resolution is taking a picture a day for a year. I have heard about this idea before and it may sound trendy or whatever, but I really like the idea and I am loving doing it already. It helps me remember to document our day to day life. These are pictures that won't win any prizes or contests, but they will be full of memories. I hope to put them all in an album when I find one I like.

Anyway, do any of yal'll like to cook? Jon and I LOVE food and LOVE to cook. I think I may start posting yummy things we make because they are too good not to share. Would anyone be interested? Be honest. I love when my friends post recipes- (Mary, I am thinking of you).

Ok so here are some pictures from the Year. 1 a day....almost.

1-1-13 The date on this picture is wrong, I guess the time was off on my camera. This was taken right after midnight on New Years. Joshua swears he made it until 12 but he was asleep as soon as the clock struck 12- I ran in to kiss him goodnight and he was out. He is so cute.

1-3-13 One of Jon's Stocking Stuffers from Santa

1-4-13 So I may have forgotten to take pictures a few days... but this is Callie in the morning. She isn't a morning person either, like me. We take forever to get going.

1-5-13 Xander the Salamander


1-7-13 A sign we made for 5 Guys.

1-8-13 Callie eating Frosty Paws (dog ice cream)

1-9-13 I came into the bedroom one night and Jon was brushing his teeth like this. Apparently he was stretching his quads.

1-10-13 I got a letter from my nephew complete with a code to solve. He is the cutest. This letter made my day.

1-11-13 I found this lotion on sale, it is my favorite of all time. I bought the body wash too. Lemon Vanilla. MMMMMM.

1-12-13 Keep your children safe from this Easter Bunny! Creepy hat from Ikea. And me looking miniature in the chair.

1-13-13 Jon talking to his family on a Sunday, I thought he was sitting oddly.

1-14-13 The bathroom so far- still needs a painted vanity, baseboards, a new cabinent and a finished floor. Oh, and a shower curtain but we can't find any big enough.

1-15-13 Callie propped up on the chair next to me, I thought she looked hilarious.

1-16-13 This is for Melani. This is a definite BEFORE picture of our other bathroom. We haven't started remodeling yet but I am dying to fix this one. So ugly and nothing matches. Oh and the floor is a bit uneven. (We did replace the blinds which used to be pink and were sticky from tobacco).

1-17-13 SNOW! Yes we had snow and yes they cancelled most of the schools- Jon only had a two hour delay. And yes this is about as thick as it was. Most of the schools were delayed before it even snowed.

1-18-13 Yahtzee for date night. And yes I won both games. :)

1-19-13 Callie and her Croc

1-20-13 Jon showing off at Frisbee Golf.

And if anyone is crazy enough to still be reading this, Sunday after church we had our friend over and played Yahtzee, ate delicious chicken pot pie, and played Frisbee Golf in our church clothes. It was almost 70 out and a really nice way to walk around and enjoy the Sabbath. (If you have never played Frisbee Golf you should! It was my first time and even though I am terrible it was fun. And it is basically just tossing Frisbees around, very relaxing and low key.)
