Who doesn't love frosting?

 I haven't updated in awhile, not much has really been going on up until this weekend. We tend to do more when the kids are around.
Oh, I was sick with an upper respiratory infection for about 2 weeks and that was just a blast (NOT).

I have been doing better with eating since the holidays and have gotten rid of that nasty fluffy feeling I had the whole month. I didn't lose any weight but I haven't been eating a bunch of crap all the time so it helps!
 So last Wednesday I was supposed to get my hair done but side effects from my antibiotic kept me home so I made a cake for a co-worker! Lucky Alayna was around when it was time to put on the frosting so she got to eat some right out the container. That's what childhood is about right?

We ate dinner then did our new nightly ritual, reading our bible stories. A while back I had this idea that I should get one of the bible story books because the kids don't know these stories and I need a refresher on a good bit of the details on some of them. We have all LOVED reading them, we all sit down on the couch and spend about 5 minutes or more reading/discussing. My favorite part was when we read about creation and Logan said so God really does have magical powers! It was so cute!

Friday night we got the kids for the weekend and while Logan was in the bath down the hall he yells SARA!! don't forget about our bible stories!! So needless to say the kids like it which makes me happy!


 Saturday morning we did our usual gym and groceries, Alayna just wouldn't listen to stop running and she ended up falling. This kid is a clutz but apparently she gets it from her mom lol I have my moments luckily there isn't blood involved except the one time recently I slid across the sidewalk. Which by the way my hand is still not fully healed from that, it will probably scar.
 After lunch and unloading groceries we headed to my parents house to hang out. It was a really pretty day, so we enjoyed getting to spend some time with them and be outside at the same time.

 
 Watering my moms flowers!
 They wore themselves OUT and were sleeping in the car by the time we hit the interstate. Dave and I both didn't feel like cooking so we got Chik-Fil-A for dinner which is never a bad thing.
We got to see this gorgeous sunset while waiting on our food, you know this girl LOVES a good sunset!!

Dinner, baths, bible stories then bed because Sunday was going to be fun and unfortunately rainy!

So this is 29

 
 This past Thursday I turned 29.... yeah yeah I know this is not old I get it but seriously how are my 20's almost gone?? I really hope 29 is good to me!

So again with the picture placement on the blog... either I am special or they did something where the layout is just not as easy anymore BUT the pictures above I wanted to post because they are awesome! I got the Ugg boots from my parents for Christmas and the hoodie from Dave for my birthday! The uggs are just fabulous, I absolutely LOVE them!!

 We started the day out at the gym then we hung out around the house for awhile before it was time to go get my cookie cake and go to my parents house!
 
 Bathroom selfie because why not!
 Oh you know just the snake the neighbor walked out his backyard carrying, creepy!

 
 It was all family and my friends the Newmans!
There was touch football, cornhole, fireworks, lots of food and cookie cake! Oh and football on the TV, Go Tigers!!
 

 
 
 Bubs was mesmerized by the fireworks, I thought for sure he would have been scared!

Randoms

I have some random pictures to post today before I post about my birthday!

 
 Sunday 12/27 we went and picked up Oliver to take to my parents house. He was being SO cute! He went on a long walk in the stroller to try and get him to sleep but he was not having it!
Just hanging with his papa!
 
Monday after work there was a huge box all the way from Jersey for the kids! Their grandma spoiled them! Clothes, games, toys, stuffed animals and some candy!
 Hungry Hungry Hippos was a hit!! They have been playing that and Uno for over a week! Dave was on facetime with his mom so she was able to see them and watch them enjoy the game.
 
                           
  
 

 We took down all our decorations and now my apartment looks so sad! I know Dave is happy that it is gone because he likes things really clean! I just love the magic of Christmas and I am sad every year when it gets put away!

I worked mon, tues and some of Wednesday last week and then had a nice long weekend. I hate that it is over but I can say I am happy to be back to a routine! Now if only this cold or whatever would go away because I am so sick of blowing my nose! TMI haha sorry!

Happy Monday and Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2016 is good to all of us!!
