100th post....

Hey---this is my 100th post! It only took me a few years to accomplish this. :) Oh well, it is still a milestone and I do still enjoy blogging and recording our everyday stuff so one day I can look back and be glad I took the time to jot some things down.

I am a bit behind on my project life goals but am excited to catch back up this coming weekend. Work/personal/baby has been really busy lately with one of our clients hiring me an additional 20 hours a week to help with recruiting for their hiring push. When I add that on to all of my other responsibilities and happenings you have one girl who had lots of balls in the air to juggle and keep afloat. In a nutshell, I have been working day and night which doesn't allow for much else in between. I am lucky to have so much support from my mom who has been getting reacquainted with having a baby around alot--she and Sunday are getting to be good friends! I have also hired help with the never ending bookwork, etc that comes along with this business. What a blessing that has been! I am nearly dug out of the hole that happened about 9 months ago when I brought home our sweetie pie Sunday! Being nearly caught up is a great feeling. Oh well enough of my rambling. Now for some highlights of our daily Project Life pics/thoughts/random highlights of the past few weeks.

Here is sweet Sunday who fell on her back while playing around on the office floor while Mommy and Uncle Jake and Daddy try to work, work, work!


Halle had the honor to be WEEKLY WONDER at school and bring in personal items the represented who she is, as well as photos and some written cards about herself. She chose to bring in her pink baseball glove, pink tennis ball, rock collection from family summer trips to our cabin, a scrapbook she made of herself, and her current favorite book "the Boxcar Children". Her favorite vacation was posted and it was our trip last summer to California, and her favorite bible story which is Jesus dying on the cross and rising again. We love you Halle! You are a treasure to us and Jesus and uniquely you.

Caleb and Sunday are always goofing around together and Caleb is in LOVE with his little sister. I am so glad that they have a bond already.

Halle working on typing up her Biography book report on Helen Keller. They officially typed an assignment at home for the first time to bring in! She was so proud! (so was I)

Meetings up north with 2 kids---Daddy dropped us off at Smashburger for lunch while he attended some meetings. We love bringing you with us to work! What a blessing to have you both with us so much of the time and still be productive with our business.

Here are some pictures from Pajama day at school for Halle...she is corraling her curious and very busy little sister who wants to pull up on anything and everything!


Like I said pulling up....

Snow day on Friday-school cancelled...getting ready to play outside in the white stuff.






That is all I have time for today....as I said work and baby are calling.

Project Life week 2...

Hello Monday Jan 16th....today the kids have no school so we are off to the movies over lunch to see the Muppets-good times! Halle gets a stomach ache (we think from the pop corn she ate at the movie) and starts throwing up around dinner time and doesn't stop until 2 am Tuesday morning-now I am more convinced now it is a bug. We had dinner at mom and dad's for roast beef and a game of UNO-Caleb as you know is IN LOVE with games of any kind.

Tuesday Jan 17th...home with one sick little girl. She is never sick so it is more difficult to see her so puny. Caleb is off to school, Sunday is napping and the house is sooooo quiet. Laundry is in abundance so I better sign off! Plus I am trying to get some work done in the quiet and sterilize everything from the germs!

I am keeping up with the picture a day thing and already sent my first batch of photos off for developing---cannot wait to put it together soon!

Last week recap---Monday the 9th-Sunday is eating more and more-there is nothing she doesn't like that I have given her thus far. She has always been a great eater since day 1 of her little 8 month old life. Sleeping has been less than desireable with her, but that has begun to change. I read some things on the internet about sleep and decided it was past time to train her to sleep! I started 3 weeks ago to get her used to all of her naps and nights in her crib and self-soothing, etc. Last week on Wednesday she finally slept through the night. Now we are on our 6th night of full sleep for the little pumpkin. She is doing great and sleeping like a champ! She and mommy and daddy seem to be happier with the change.

Tuesday the 10th---We closed on another investment property. This time we intend to do another fix and flip. We have not done anymore investments here locally for over a year so this is exciting! This one is in the North Park Hill neighborhood and it has so much potential. Easiest closing ever! The whole family is in tow :)


Wednesday the 11th---We tried for the 1st time to have Nana come over to babysit the little kids so I could get some work done. She brought a new playmobil toy that was full of pirates that she had found at the thrift store. Caleb was instantly in love! We got snow overnight and it was a beautiful morning full of white in our backyard and some quiet for me finally-I was super productive in the 3 short hours, but that was exactly what I needed. Nana to the rescue and the kids did wonderfully without me!



Thursday the 12th---another normal day of work/kids/and juggling it all and wearing many hats. Playtime is always in abundance. Sunday is getting sooo close to crawling and loves to hang out on the floor now and again to explore and watch what her big brother is doing.


Friday the 13th---Caleb tries to go outside first thing in the morning since the weather is warming up for a couple of days. He mentions to me "is that a fox mom?" I look out and see a coyote just behind our fence in the open space!! Eeeek!



Saturday the 14th...big GAME DAY as the Broncos (we are huge fans of theirs and Tim Tebow's) are playing in their second playoff game today! We are outside because it is beautiful weather and we are getting things done around the house including working on cleaning mud out of the gutters. The kids are hard at play! Sunday rides in the jeep with her big sister for the first time!



Sunday the 17th---Church in the morning and then ice skating downtown for fun! I still need to upload pics from this day.

2 posts in 2 days....

Say what??

I am having some computer issues so I may not be able to update the old blog the rest of the week-we shall see?? But so far, I have been taking my POTD and here is what we have captured on film: I lied, now my camera is having issues so here are some other fun pictures from very recent days and of course they are of our sweet little Sunday. Hope to get the newest ones to upload and share soon!
