Lots of catching up.
News Years Eve. We usually go to a hotel for the night with the kids and swim and play games. Instead we stayed home and played games like "Would You Rather", watched the ball drop on the COMPUTER (because we don't have TV anymore) and the kids slept in a tent in the living room. It was a fun night, I think, I don't remember much about the past 4 months. I'm just going off the pictures.

my kids anticipation of the ball dropping, poor Summer was SO tired!

FREEZER MEALS- January- I'm addicted to freezer meals! It's quite the production to make 3 recipes X 8, but worth it to get 24 different meals.
Here is my homemade mashed potatoes for Shepherds Pie, yummy eh?
assembly line of food...I need bigger pots, like industrial pots, oh and a restaurant stove!
My birthday was in there sometime...
You can't really see but the candles melted WAY fast! Not because there were tons of them I'm sure!
my sweet sweet family (I still feel like someone is missing, my grief still comes in waves)
Tom knew what would help with my freezer meals...an electric can opener! Yes! :)
I love this baby and she loves paper and crinkley things
this face kept me going through the sleepless nights
my buddy
she absolutely loved the balloon
she wants to walk so badly
one of my favorite things to see
"What mom?"
Tom has been secretly saving to make me a picture wall and get some seating in our living room, for my birthday, what a surprise! I LOVE it!
A poster that was on my door at school! I look like the Joker!
Savannah and her best friend Brianna
we moved our piano
and moved things around in the living room. I still need to get pictures in the frames!
Zoey wants to play too
BAPA VISITS
Bapa came to visit and did a magic show! It was AMAZING!
I love the kids reactions!
We tried several times to get a good picture of Bapa sitting with his girls

enjoying root beer floats while Bapa reads The Hobbit. Bapa you are a GREAT story teller!
Oh yeah, my co-worker Megan moved in with us Jan 1st! Isn't she a cutie!? I love her! Tom gets jealous! :) Everyone tells her she looks like Courtney Cox or Meagan Fox. Yeah, I can see why! She helps me make dinner and helps with the kids, it's like having a nanny, I may NEVER let her go!
Megan's room (aka my craft room/old preschool room)
I love the foamy top of root beer floats
Zoey puts everything in her mouth, she is the scariest baby I have had! We have taken so many crazy things out of her mouth (ear plug, silly band, ball, screw, dry wall, glass, an excedrin, wrappers of all kinds, rocks, string, erasers, shrinky dinks, beads) yeah, and we don't take our eyes off her, EVER, and she STILL finds stuff!
she loves to pull hair
She knows the good stuff! (don't worry she's not really drinking it, it's not open, I'm not that bad of a mom!) Tom calls this "devils brew" but I call it deliciousness!
Freezer Meals- February
so so so much food!
2/10- Zoey gets tubes- A New life begins for mom and dad!
Summer loves her baby sister! She watches Baby Einstein with her!
My pretty girls in dresses they got from Grandma! Thanks Grandma!
Zoey reminds me of a porcelain doll!
I did all the girls hair in these hearts for Valentines Day. I should've taken the picture before they were at school all day!
We had to give our supersaucer back to the rightful owner so I got this one on sale and with a gift card. Zoey loves it!
bounce away
walking all over
Valentine's Day
Tom came and stole me away for a Valentine lunch. I had to go to another Jr. High and he hid in the back of my car and SCARED me! But it was totally fun to go to lunch and have a mini date! Love ya babe!
Zack's cute animal stickers
We made a fun dinner for the kids.
I love these little ones!
Holy Moly! After reading this post I feel like I have ADD! Wow!
