On Saturdays, we usually stay in our jammies until after noon.

Family "vlog"

Next time I do a vlog I will try and remember to wear makeup.

Update

Update: Feeling a lot better with this kidney infection. Stayed in my pjs all weekend. On Saturday night, Shane and I had a "Take-out Date" that included Chinese food and House on Tevo. I decided to look like something other than death, so I took a shower, straightened my hair and put on a bit of makeup. I even dawned a clean black hoodie, yoga pants and earrings. So fancy. As I passed Lydia's room were she was supposed to be sleeping she yelled "Mommy! Where are you going?!"

"Just downstairs with daddy."

"Why are you wearing earrings then? "

"Cause I want to look pretty."

She motions with her hand to my ensemble. 

"Then why are you matching? If you aren't going anywhere?"

Oh man. Have I really let myself go that much? Probably. This is all a phase right? 

I'll be cool again at some point? 

This week.

Cooking with friends.

Staying busy while Lydia cooks with friends.

Family Home Evening At Home

Never a dull moment when there is photo booth to play with.

Have a great day!

I love bathtime

On her way to her school birthday party.

Guess what mom. That camera also takes videos.

My sister and mom thought it would be funny to fill my point and shoot with lots of creepy weird shots of themselves. Still tempted to post a few, but this little number (when my mom apparently did not know my sister was recording) must be shared.....

In case you haven't heard...

I have a new nephew. Little Sam.

Congrats Molly and Wayne. He's perfect. I can't wait to meet him.

Cracker Barrel Morning

There was a Cracker Barrel about 3 minutes away from our house in Tennessee. We went all the time for Saturday breakfast as a family. We were feeling a little homesick, so we found the local Cracker Barrel. From the inside, it felt like we were back in Chattanooga. Except no one had accents, everyone was white and people were requesting "ice tea" instead of "sweet tea".

So handsome for church

And he knows it.

Lydia's Dance Debut - The Nutcracker

Possibly the cutest mouse ever. She was very excited about "stage makeup".

And the tallest. (She isn't even one of the older girls in her class.)

Shane and I are so proud of our little dancer.

"Once there was a snowman, snowman, snowman..."

I would have shown a photo with Shane in there too. BUT he thought it was a funny joke to shave his beard into a mustache for Christmas. It was retched in a totally hilarious way. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
