shoot.

well, M'Adam and I went out and got a few things that depend on how good a shot you are. 2 rifles and a camera. :) we got me an AK47 (I look pretty beastly holding it) and he got an AR15... then we got a Nikon D60. it takes AWESOME pictures and I love it... but I'll have to post pics later. sorry- I've just been too busy to blog!

we've been up to:
-organizing the house (still)
-blessing the baby
-a wedding (lots of family in town)
-and a bunch of nothing that takes too much time!

my mom laughs at me cuz for a stay-at-home mom, I'm never there. always running here and there blah blah. I know stuff will simmer down eventually... in a good 25 years lol. but I had to come let everyone know we were alive still, and I have a few b-day shout-outs I'm late on so happy birthday January!! hopefully I'll be more on the ball next month, 'specially since there are a million February b-days!!

Do we do resolutions?

uh- I haven't ever really made a New Year's resolution... goals yes, but most didn't pan out. And since I didn't have anyone to jump the couch for (to get them married this year-most of my friends would cry) I just left it at that.
As almost an after-thought, M'Adam and I decided that we'd each pick 2 areas of our life that we wanted to improve... no set goals- therefore we didn't set ourselves up to fail. :) He picked health and strength, and I picked mental and spiritual. I thought it funny later that neither of us mentioned financial...which we BOTH worry over sometimes. But anyway- I've been working out with my sister in-law for 2 weeks now and trying to cook healthier meals. Today it dawned on me that those where M'ADAM'S areas- hmmm. And would you know he's doing better with the mental and spiritual? Ironic. I am befuddled as to why we both seemed to ignore our own catagories as far...but it makes me feel like we're truly best friends, and capable of being a team-mate for each other when I really consider it. I know I sure wasn't caring to workout before...and didn't pick my catagories based on "our" needs but my own. But I love the support from my huney to better ourselves in all 4 areas together, and I can't wait to show off my rockin' post baby body- when I get it! :)

So cute!

My sweet boy... he likes to be sitting up, and blowing bubbles... goof ball. He thinks he's a big kid and has to be included. He likes to go everywhere with us- easy baby! Just a happy happy boy!

Blog at last...

Well! We have had a pretty busy month with moving, family get-togethers and all that other holiday stuff. I'm working on not being crazy anymore! Everyone has requested new pictures of the little- so here he is. He's HUGE! He weighs like 15 lbs now. Bigger boy. M'Adam calls him 'LB' for little boy (pronounced lee-da boy)...

Shooting. We recently got new rifles, just in case they are hard to come by after the new President is in office- obviously, we got some sweet gear too! Funny thing is that he never got scared...all boy.

This was while we were moving... see the 'tude?? He's so cool. (I remember as a kid thinking how cool I was...too bad)

This is my fabulous new kitchen...I had to make cookies the other day to celebrate it being clean (pretty much the best cookies I've ever made too!) We really like our new home- I'll post more pics when it's all purty and organized!



On a sad note, we lost 2 dogs on New Year's Eve. We had 3 at our home, Loretta (my littlest sister's dog), Otto (below) and Dolci. I didn't notice they had escaped our yard until about 2 am when Dolci returned. We've spent time looking all over and posted pics and descriptions and despite them both being tagged, we haven't heard a thing. I felt so bad for my sister and M'Adam, as Otto was 'his' dog.



M'Adam doubts we'll ever see Otto again, since he's a cute dog. So I thought I would post a pic and say what a sweet, hyper, loving fetch mate he was to M'Adam. Despite his chewing and whining at birds, we really did like that little dog.
