goodbye 2013...hello 2014!


We are so excited around here to bring in 2014!  Jeremiah is working tonight so me and all the littles are ringing in the new year...at about 9:30 :)

Here are some of our favorite moments from 2013:

  1. Paetyn starting 1st grade and Maddux starting pre-school
  2. Las Vegas vacation with Jeremiah
  3. Watching Paetyn and Maddux grow up within this last year and being amazed everyday with what they are capable of
  4. Being a surrogate and delivering twins for our dear friends
  5. Jeremiah being cleared of cancer!
  6. Adopting Meg
  7. Finding my favorite job in my whole life
  8. Eating at Gordon Ramsey's restaurant for our anniversary
  9. Opening game day for the Hillsboro Hops (it was so fun seeing Jeremiah so excited)
  10. Vow renewals
We hope that 2014 brings as many blessings and treats us as good as 2013!  Clink.

2014 diy's...per Pinterest

 

 

Starting a new year?  Gotta look at some D.I.Y. inspirations to tackle in 2014!  There are obviously so many good ideas and sources, and Pinterest is always my go-to, so here are a few finds that I would like to try in 2014:

merry & bright...


Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!  We had one of the best holidays ever with friends and family...it was complete with great meals and great memories.  The kiddos had a great day too with traditions and Santa bringing everything on their wish list (they were really reasonable and down-to-earth this year) although I had one epic fail with a voice-changer toy which was driving everyone crazy within 30 seconds.  It may mysteriously break.  Or get lost.  Or eaten by the dog :)

Here is wishing you the merriest of holidays to you and yours!

lazy...



Here's hoping for a nice relaxing pre-holiday weekend spent in this bed (perhaps without the pup hogging all the blankets and pillows) :)  Hope you all have a super relaxing (and snuggly) weekend!

week in pictures (long time coming)...



 





Life has been crazy lately and some of these pics have been  on my camera for weeks...yikes.  Holy blogger fail. 

We are all doing wonderful and ready to attack the rest of this holiday season and new year!  Sorry for all the radio silence lately.  I have been enjoying the 'early-darkness' here and going to bed at 8pm which leaves little time for blogging, however extra time for cuddles.  Hard to pass that up! 

Have a great weekend :)
