Life Lately

...we took down the Christmas decorations. It is nice to have them up, but good to get them down and de-clutter.




...listening to my devotions in the morning. I enjoy listening to someone read the Bible to me. I listen better and pay attention more closely.


...got my to-do list going for the month of January


...all dressed up and nowhere to go


...some more of Jar's drawings



...Jar's skate shoes had fallen apart. We found some new ones, and they finally came in the mail.


...we went to breakfast with Mom at Panera Bread



...we went to a few stores (World Market, Marshall's, and Michael's)



...Here are a few things I got for Michael and I for special dinners on Sunday night.


...Cam found some boots that he really wanted


...I found a Ralph Lauren robe for next to nothing. It is so soft.


...I found some stuff for little money for our collage wall in the livingroom


...Jar has been drawing a lot lately






...Cam's hair is getting a little wacky




...Jar has been wanting to do a kip-up for a while now. He finally got it (I used to do them; so I would watch him and critique him to help him - then we watched a little kid do it on You Tube - Jar got it in no time)





...the sun is shining today. Oh, how I love the sun!!!




...Cam has been writing a lot of music lately



...more of Jar's original artwork



...the boys have been watching Doctor Who early in the mornings before they begin school/college

...I did lots of chores around the house (laundry, dishes, cleaning, organizing)

...Michael did some projects around the house (including hanging my shoe organizer)

...we had a couple of take-home dinners like Baja Fresh, Little Caesar's pizza, and Panda Express.

...Michael and I watched some of our shows (Alaska: The Last Frontier, Duel Survival, and Mike and Molly)

New Season of Shows

We have two shows that we are so excited to watch this season...and sad at the same time, because they are in their last season forever. They are Downton Abbey and American Idol. Downton Abbey started it's sixth and final season on Sunday night. We loved watching it, as it is one of our favorite shows to watch together as a family. American Idol begins tomorrow night, and we look forward to watching this final season.
