Weekend Wrap Up!
I know, it's already Wednesday and I"m just getting around to posting about our weekend...I blame it on the snow:-) It made me a little lazy!!
Saturday we had a lazy day at home with whole family! I LOVE these kinds of days! When we have NO where we have to go or nothing we just HAVE to do! Jason and I ended our day by having dinner at home and renting a Red Box (LOVE...LOVE....LOVE $1.00 movies!!). We rented "It's Complicated" and it was HILARIOUS!
Sunday was the big 29th Birthday for me! Last year in my 20's :-( Yes, this depresses me....moving on......We spent the morning at home with the family cleaning out closets and organizing (yes, I chose to do this on my birthday! I LOVE to clean and organize!!) and then we dropped the kids off at my parents house and had a late lunch at El Porton (can we say WHITE CHEESE DIP!) and then ran a few errands together! It was so nice to have a quiet dinner with just the hubs and get the opportunity to run a few errands kid free ~happy birthday to me:-) Later we celebrated with a WONDERFUL homemade cake my sweet mama made me! It was a GREAT birthday!
And on Monday seemed like another weekend day because we had our first official snow day this year! It was beautiful and the kids had a BLAST!
Snow ball fight!!
Snow Angels~
Her favorite part was eating the snow!
My snow babies :-)
It took him some time to warm up to the idea of snow....
She had a blast. I was internally frozen after the play time! Ha!
LOVE these kids!

LOVE these kids!What I'm Loving Wednesday!
I'm LOVING Off The Hoof Burgers in Arlington! We ate their for my birthday dinner with Jason's family last night ( it wasn't our first time). YUM! The burgers are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G and their sweet potato fries (w/chipolte ranch) are TO DIE FOR!!!
I'm LOVING my new Fossil Perforated Flower Belt I bought with some of my birthday money.
(I bought mine in brown-not tan as shown)
I'm LOVING Emily again this week! What is NOT to love about this genuinely *sweet* (no drama) Southern girl! Brad is CRAZY if she is not one of the final two!
I'm LOVING my new J-41 Tahoe Sport Slip-On shoes! I have been looking for an alternative to my tennis shoes to wear with my more casual outfits and these are PERFECT! And OH SO comfortable!

Five On Friday~
In an effort to keep up with my blogging goal for 2011, I wanted to find a way to share random things going on in our life weekly, SO I am TOTALLY going to steal (um, I mean borrow) an idea that I have seen several other bloggers using....Five On Friday......
1. It's been a really LONG and BUSY week....I somehow got REALLY behind on ALL my housework and found myself completely overwhelmed this morning trying to figure out where to begin....managing your home can be E.X.H.A.U.S.T.I.N.G!!!!
2. My Chi finally bit the dust this week :-( My hair straightner is an ESSENTIAL for me, so I had to figure something out....FAST! I had a sweet friend (with gorgeous) hair who recommend the Chi Turbo. I couldn't find one in a store, so I set out to do what I LOVE best...ONLINE SHOP! I found one and it was great price with FREE shipping! It arrived yesterday! I can't wait to try it out today. I'll let you know how it does!
3. I made THESE bad boys this week...Chocolate Mousse Filled Snickers Cupcakes...Seriously AMAZING!!!
4. One of my guilty pleasures returned to TV this week...
that's right....THE BACHELOR.....I know, it's a bunch of crazy drama but some how I get sucked in every season.....I have to admit, I am NOT crazy about the Brad Womack as the choice for this season...he had his chance, he blew it...time to move on...but I am all about SECOND chances AND he swears he has changed....so we will just have to see! My favorite so far is Emily!
I just love her simple, "no drama" (so far) personality. Plus, she is BEAUTIFUL!
5. It's my BIRTHDAY weekend! I'm not one that gets SUPER excited about my birthday, really never have, but there is always something special about it being "your day"......no big plans yet....but I do plan on LIVING it up this year.....since it will be my VERY.LAST. YEAR in my 20's :-(......I'm getting old!

2011~New Years Resolutions!
Happy New Year! There is just something about a new year that gives you the feeling of a brand new start~a clean slate so to speak. I know this is exciting for me and I'm sure for most of you! I am VERY goal oriented, so the idea of starting off with a set of fresh resolutions is exciting. With that said, here are a few of the goals/"resolutions" I have set for myself:
Grow out my hair: I have had my hair really short for the last 2 years...I have said MANY times I was going to grown it out. Even begged my husband to forbid me to cut it (that didn't work obviously), but this year, I'M STICKING TO IT! I think my problem is the "in between stage" of the growth....it starts to bug me so I CHOP IT! But NOT this year:-)
Lose 10 pounds: No, I do not think I'm fat, but I do think I could shed a few pounds (who doesn't). Health is becoming more important to me the older I get and I realize I'm NOT getting any younger and that my body isn't either! Ha! My goal is to not only shed the weight I know is looming around, but to develop better eating habits....I think it all goes hand in hand!
Blog More: I'm TERRIBLE at keeping up with the whole blogging thing...I have EVERY desire to, really I do, but time just gets the best of me and I slack. I really enjoy reading others blogs and my Google reader has become a slight addiction.....I just have a hard time keeping up with my own. I hoping that will change in 2011.
Drink More H2O: I'm a Diet Dr. Pepper junkie *sigh*....I try to limit myself, but there is a slight addiction there to that carbonation "burn"....I LOVE it, I CRAVE it......I'm going to FIGHT it this year! :-)
Read: Notice I didn't say "Read More".....that's because I DON'T read! Another one of those things I have EVERY desire to do, but just can't find the time....this year I want to make the time, I need to make the time.
Shower FIRST THING in the morning: Go ahead, laugh if you need to, but this is truth people. As a stay at home mom of two small children, I have the pleasure of slow mornings, most days. Before I know it, it's mid-morning and I still haven't showered! And then there are days I look up and it's 2:00 p.m and I STILL haven't showered! (Yes, I am ashamed to admit this). I fully admit I feel like a better mom/person once I haven't gotten myself "ready" for the day so my goal this year is to start getting up and getting myself together before I notice it's afternoon:-)
Learn How To Use My New Camera: Mom and Dad got me DSLR (Cannon EOS Rebel T1i) for Christmas and I'm SO EXCITED to figure this thing out! My point and shoot was falling apart AND I love taking pictures, so this was by far the BEST gift this year!!!
and last but not least......
Be More Intentional about spending quality time with my babies: Reality is beginning to set in that I only have a little over a year to spend with my sweet little girl Macie before I lose her to the "real world" of Kindergarten...this TERRIFIES me.....and honestly having the freedom to be at home with my babies often lends to constant housework and other tedious responsibilities and before I know it, I've let them watch TV all day and entertain themselves~I'm sure other SAHM's can relate! It's time I plan a schedule for us and stick to it!
So there you have it, just a few goals I have set for myself......here's to a NEW year with NEW beginnings!
