New camera lens fun

Old dogger, I used to look forward to the day you couldn't jump on the bed anymore. Now that is here and I'm a little bit sad for you. You are a sweet old girl, mellowed out with age.

 

 Love my Ben bug with the chicklet smile


Cate's curly piggies are everything, and favorite dress of course






Jeremy's 40th birthday

Jerm is like the big brother Brad and I never had. He's the rock we can always count on for advice, drinks, and laughs. He's always there when you need him, has the special ability to fall asleep standing up, and can worm anyone off the dance floor. He's just all around pretty awesome. We had a great time celebrating his 40th freaking birthday!

Family selfie fail
Finally it worked!


Man stew before the party
We had shirts made

We hung out in the suite for a few hours then went to the casino downstairs, then hit up the club, Fatburger, and more gambling. It was a super fun night. We absolutely wrecked the place. We had to call house keeping for extra large garbage bags to clean up.
 
For some reason we thought it would be fun to take selfies in the shower room (it was seriously a whole room). Bathroom party.

Goals 2018

Hoping that writing them down will reinforce accountability.

Fitness goals: run two half marathons this year, get stronger, lift more weights, whole family eating less treats, have the kids plan meals and help cook

Family goals: less fighting and yelling (research strategies), less screen time, more game nights, more one on one special time with each kid, kids assigned chores

Money goals: spend less, only buy what we need when we need it if possible to avoid waste (Exception-buying stuff for new house)

Happiness goals: date nights with the husband, decorate house, learn photography, plant a garden, read a book, try a new workout

Overall, stress less and love more. Just look how lucky we are, love them!!!!!



Look at Cate's hair, so long.

Surgery

I've been missing in action so far this year as far as blogging is concerned. I had gallbladder surgery so I've been attempting to take it easy. As of this week I'm feeling really good, almost back to normal. Just in time for half marathon training.

House

Foundation poured, framing has begun! Thank you weather for cooperating.
