finishing up 2012!!!

so here's one of the reasons I think I'm slacking so much with the blog - instagram! never heard of it? what world do you live in?!!!

but, seriously, I post pics on there all the time!  and I guess now that I have my smart phone, I take most "daily" pics on there ... so I'm finding that I don't sit down to upload/edit pics as often, because I don't need to - because I barely use that awesome (expensive) camera!!!

I don't want these memories to just get lost "out there" - so I decided they'll have to come on over to the blog too! 

at this point I may not remember all the details (these pics are all from November/December 2012), but at least I've got these fun photos!!

p.s. if there are "..." - that's what I wrote on instagram!

my little set up at the holiday bazaar at the school!

after the Christmas parade, we went out for frozen yogurt!


I actually took a pic of myself!  I wanted to send a pic to the hubby!  
lame, I know - but hey, I tried!

back to the frozen yogurt shop! 
did I mention that the order of these pics went SO completely
random when they uploaded?!!!

every month our church has a get together for lunch (after church service) 
and this was the Christmas time one!  the kids each got to decorate a "tree"!!!







random pics of miss Zoey



what a silly boy!
"at bubba's assembly"
he was being a stinker!!!

"so proud of my boy"

"banana bread"

"mini cheese balls"

"pumpkin muffins"

"focused on Caillou - lol"

" "C" is for chippies???  One of Zoey's favorite foods!"

"she loves her babies!"

"a little tv before we leave for language group"

"our tree is filling up with kid made ornaments"
yes - did I mention that we had a "hand-made" Christmas tree this year?
I thought it was pretty awesome!

"cheesin with nana"

"the other side of the tree"

"being a stinker about pics - this was the best I could get!  Wearing green to remember"

this was one of "Zoey's ladies" - as we call them!
for quite a while we worked with them - they would come to the house to
help with developmental stuff and if I had concerns, questions - all that!
this was the last day they came, so I had to get a pic of Zoey
with miss Chrystalynn (I knew we'd still see miss Lynn at language group)!

"I love Christmas art!"

ready to walk bubba to school ...

we made it a long walk that day! 
it was SO cold that stuff was frosty!


"who knew frosty grass could be so thrilling!  Guess it is the closest thing to snow that my kids have seen in four years!"

my friend ordered a cape tee for someone for Christmas!
I had a lot of fun making it!!!
p.s. the "S" is glow in the dark!!!

"I love Christmas jammies!"

"He did it!!  He got up on top of the monkey bars ... You can see a little fear in his face though - ha ha!"

"Last night we decided to have pizza!!!"

I think this is back to that long walk - lol

"I love my snazzy little lady!!!"


"You can't see it ... But he's on his new bike!  He's thrilled!!!"


"His first big boy bike - oh my gosh he loves it!!!"
