Project 365 - Week 1 2012

I'm ba..ack! My, has life gone by and things changed since I have last blogged. More about that another time, this is about beginning Project 365 again. I have appreciated it so much over the past 2 years and regret letting life get in the way of finishing this past year. So here is to a New Year. A year of hope, a year of promise and a year of drawing closer to God and the ones I love!

Sunday
Happy New Year!! Today was my birthday....only one more year of my 30's left. We went to Mom & Dad's for dinner and my special dessert...



...Robert Redford. I love it and Mom makes it for me every year! After dessert we had a rousing family game.



Tripoley. I love that the kids can play games like this now. Candyland was getting a little old!

Monday
Today Grammie picked up both boys for a sleepover. (the girls slept over last week) When Bryce was little he would always pack his Sulley suitcase to go to Grammie's. Look what he did for old times sake.



I am surprised his 6'1" "man stuff" fit in there, but it sure warmed this mama's heart to see it!!

Tuesday
Another sleep over but this time at our house. Ella and Kyla had the beloved "A" spend the night. I am so thankful for this lifelong friendship they have. When I walked by Ella's room to make sure they were sleeping this is what I found...



Kyla and "A" were hanging on to each other. (Ella is up in her bed) Just so sweet!

Wednesday
Today this bag needed to be documented.



This is Ethan's bag and it has been packed everyday for a sleepover this week. When he got the call today to sleep at another friend's house, we just started laughing. Hopefully he will remember his address after being gone so much!

Thursday
I was out with the kids tonight since Kevin was working late. The girls really enjoy doing this every time we visit this place.



Any ideas where we are?

Friday
This evening I took the kids to run a bunch of errands and then we went to surprise Kevin at work. This was the first time we had been out to his store and the kids were super excited to visit.



I think Daddy was pretty happy to see them too!

Saturday
Today was haircut day. 3 of the 4 kids needed one badly. Here is the before....



...and the after....



Much better! Now they are ready to go back to school Monday.

I pray that your 2012 is off to a great start and that you are making the time to catch the little things in each of your days that make you smile. Have a great week!!
