Happy Monday!  I hope everyone had a great weekend!  So lets talk about SNOW!  For one, I was not expecting any snow this past weekend…in fact, I really wasnt sure that we would get ANY snow this winter.  It has been exceptionally warm(hello?!!?!  Christmas!?!) so the thought of snow has not been on my mind at all!  But I am glad it came and it was beautiful!  Just enough to coat the trees, but not enough to stick.  That is my kind of snow!  And if  you have ever driven down my driveway, you know why! 😉  I am excited for the weather forecast this week, with expected snow coming in and then warm weather to melt it away!!  I hope we get enough for the kids to be able to sled down our driveway….we shall see!

Anyway, this past weekend was jam packed with lots of fun things!  Friday night, Kaleigh had a semi-formal dance, so it was kind of a big deal…her “first” dance!  We went out and purchased a new dress for her and I did her hair that evening.  She looked so beautiful and grown up…I cant believe she will be 12 in a matter of months, that is scary!!  I am not ready for all of the new things that are coming our way(well, mainly boys and hormones haha!)  I guess we will take it one day at a time! 😉   Kaleigh had a great time at the dance and had a few friend over after for a sleepover.  I’d say that they had a great time hover boarding, eating junk food, singing, dancing and being typical 11 year old girls!  We took Carter to G-Force Go Karts with his cousin and my dad to do some racing…they had a great time as well!

Saturday, we took Carter to his basketball game in the morning and them dropped him off with my dad, aunt, uncle and cousin to hang out and play for the day and to spend the night.  Jay and I had a co-ed baby shower to attend and then we had dinner with friends that evening.  We ended the day watching the crazy Packers/Cardinals game!  And because Jay and I never get to do this because we usually have the kiddos, we treated ourselves to brunch, mimosas and more football!  Later that day, we headed over to pick up the kids and watch the second game.

Although it was a busy weekend, it was very relaxing!  BUT, its time to get moving…the kids are out of school today and I have A LOT of cleaning to do….so can you guess how my day will go?!  Haha!  I’ll end this post with a few photos of Kaleigh from her dance and the goals below!  Have a great day!  2016-01-18_0001PIN IMAGE 2016-01-18_0002PIN IMAGE

Happy New Year!  I hope all families had a fun and relaxing two weeks!  We managed to do a lot of fun things over the break, despite my kids fighting the majority of the time.  I won’t go into that again(ha!) and as much as I loved having them home to do things like bowling, ice skating, the movies, jumpology, etc. I am a little relieved that we are back into our schedule for the school year.  Having them home gave me an excuse not to get up early, so most mornings were spent sleeping in.  While that was awesome for two weeks, I NEED to get back on track!  I have goals that I want to accomplish and work to get done!  With that being said, here is a little sneak peak from a newborn lifestyle session I did!  More coming soon!
