February in Nutshell

Well another month has come and (almost) gone! It has been a fun and exciting month for our little family...I guess February not such a bad month after all. Here are the highlights
-We made our annual escape from winter (not to Mexico this year) But a close second; St. George/Mesquite. With good reason too. We went to see Savannah and Jeremy be baptized. It was so nice to hang out with the Cannon Fam and to enjoy the 65 degree weather! Lydia took all of five minutes to get comfy with her cousins and she did her best to keep up with them and and their leather bottom feet all weekend. We also took a fun little family drive/hike to the dinosaur tracks...very cool!




-Valentines Day...was low key but really nice. Gary wrote me a thoughtful note and gave me a spray tan. I wish I could spray tan every week in the winter. I'm not a good looking white person ;)
-Birthday Celebrations - We had a fun little party for Amy and Jesi. I made them a cake from scratch and we had a nice dinner. I think they both had good birthdays.
-THE Wedding of the year...Our dear friends Caitlin(Lydia's idol ad BFF)and Darren (Gary's BFF) got married!! It was a full two-day event with the rehearsal dinner, temple sealing, and the reception. It was so much fun to be a part of their special day!

January...gone so soon?!?!

January has never been one of my favorite months, but this year seems to have been more tolerable that most. Maybe because I've been busy working or maybe because I have these two cuties to keep me entertained while we're stuck at home doing a whole lot a nothin'. Here's a re-cap of our month...

News Year's Eve we partied with the Mowers as tradition would have it and had a blast. We brought Sadie with us but Lydia chose to stay at Grammies with her cousins.

The next two weeks we suffered through colds and flu, starting with Sadie girl. I'm so glad to finally be over it for now...fingers crossed

We've been on a spending hiatus which has been kind of nice after Christmas. It's been fun to fill our free time with things besides shopping and eating out.

The last few weeks I've been love the myfitnesspal app. That's right! It's time to lose the baby weight. I've been doing pretty well on my little diet until the last couple days. My bro lost 45 lbs recently so he has inspired me to get healthy (not that I'm entirely unhealthy, but my diet was in need of a little makeover)

I've been running, not as much as I should, but I have bee getting out to jog now and then in preparation for a 1/2 marathon this spring.

We continue to juggle like crazy...dropping a ball once in a while but managing OK for the most part. I like to think life will be less hectic one day, but until that day comes we'll enjoy it the way it is :)

So thanks, January, for going easy on us this year! Here's hoping February (my least favorite month) will come and go as quickly as you did.
