Good bye 2012

I don't have a top twelve to post. 2012 was a wonderful year. My family is healthy and we are blessed beyond my imagination.
Happy New Year!

Me

I didn't have much direction when I started this blog. I jumped off the deep end. I'm not good at the daily journaling of life-hence the fifteen posts in one day. I'm trying to embrace modern technology so I'm hoping between an iPad and iPhone I'll get better at this.

I love my boys. All three of them. Between raising two children; working 40plus hours a week with Trey; housekeeping-which for me includes cooking, cleaning, and laundry; maintaining a household-grocery shopping, dry cleaning, car repairs. I don't get much of a break. I wish I had more time to blog, craft, do projects off of Pinterest. However at the end of the day having a cocktail and watching mindless television require less preparation, cleanup, etc.

We've been renovating the house and-or office since 2008. The office just got finished for now...the downstairs bathroom at the house is almost finished...

I am trying to get back into a healthier lifestyle. I ran three half marathons this year. Myrtle Beach Divas, Virginia Beach Rock n Roll, and Charlotte Thunder Mountain. I'd love to run one a month in 2013 but may have to settle for less (entry fees and travel times add up).

I am trying to get back in The shape I was in pre-marriage and babies. Or maybe I'm just trying to become comfortable in my own skin. In these last five years my life has changed with a marriage, new town, new job, new house, two babies...

Here's me Saturday night. Trey and I both worked most of the day to enable us to take a week off this week of Christmas. We took advantage of having the babysitter at the house and headed to Boykin to eat at the Mill Pond Steak house.

Sunday Drew had a program at church. We were not only on time but early!

We've been in Crockett Texas this week. Rest and relaxation and runs for me. Hunting for Tre. Cousin time for the boys!

Thanksgiving Feast

I attended Drew's school Thanksgiving Feast!

Happy Halloween

This was as close to cheese as I was going to get.

Stuck

The picture defines the problem.

Mickey D's

Trey went out of town one weekend so after church the boys and I headed to McDonalds for lunch and playtime!

Drew

The calm before the shots.

Jac

Jac likes to do a little bit of this....

First Day of 4K

On the Road Again

A lot of our photos are taken in the car. You should see the mileage on the vehicles!

Atlanta

We got a quick trip to Atlanta before school started. Drew shared his ice cream with Jac in the car. Drew got to attend a sleepover with Tommy and Jac stayed behind with the girls.

Groceries

This is why we now buy the single serving food. The extra expense really saves us money!

Doctor

Jac is so unaware that he's about to get a shot.

Kiki and Papa

While Trey and I were in Chicago the boys stayed with Kiki and Papa.

Windy City

Trey and I headed to Chicago for the AAJ summer convention. I really enjoyed Chicago--we didn't get to do as much sightseeing as I would have liked. I was able to run along the water and loved the city. Definite must visit again!
One night there was an awesome dinner cruise we attended and the final evening was a House of Blues event-very trendy for these parents.

Crazy Bird

A little bird found an unusual location to lay its eggs--the boys bicycle helmet!

Vacation

We headed to Crockett TX for some R&R.

I got in some runs.

Jac's opinion of the car ride.

You'd start to act a little crazy, too. It's a long drive!
