Party pooper

So all the hype over the Lions going to the playoffs......
over!
They lost against the Saints.
No superbowl for us.

The Couch's came over to watch with us.

We were all really excited to see them win.

Except Sarah, she was too tired to worry about the Saints.

On a positive note, Jacob loves the Saints so maybe his team will make it to the Superbowl!

Easy Peasy

So Pinterest seems to be the new hot thing out there. I'm so super cool that I've been on Pinterest for awhile now and it seems like people I know are just now getting on the website and getting excited about it.
I love it for the crafts and the recipes. I also love all the obnoxious jokes and sayings. I've made several crafty things and a couple of the recipes. Mostly I pin stuff that I would like to buy or like someone to make FOR me.

However this weekend I decided to make the cresant roll recipe that I had just saw.

Basically you unwrap the cresant, lay out some ham or any other lunch meat you like and then pick a cheese that goes with it, roll it up, cook it for a bit and tada there you have it....lunch!

Sarah loved it, Jacob liked it.....so I guess I'll be making them again.
whew hard work, maybe next time I'll pick a recipe that has more than 3 ingredients,
Nah!

Better late then never




We're putting the camper in storage this weekend.


We probably shouldve done this in Sept or Oct but we procrastinated and never found anywhere to put it. Just so happens that Jeremy mentioned it to his barber and she has a barn, blah blah blah and thats where we're taking it on Saturday.


So today I went out to get the food and clothes that were left in it. I was having one of those moments and for a few minutes I thought about just staying out in it.


I would love to have my own "place" somewhere that is just mine. Somewhere that I can leave clothes on the floor and not feel guilty. Somewhere that I can not make the bed and noone would notice. I could scrap when I wanted and eat when/what I wanted and let my laundry pile up sky high and not wash it.


I've never been on my own. I went from living with my parents to living with Jeremy. I haven't been alone. Sure Jeremy went away for weeks while in the military but I always knew he would be back.


I'm thinking when the camper comes back this spring I'll spend some quality time it, just me myself and I. I might move out there for a weekend or two.

GO BLUE

(notice the remote on the floor, fallen out of his hand)
U of M played in the Sugar Bowl tonight.
Jeremy was really excited to watch it.
He invited Dan and Ben Harms over to watch it with Jacob and himself.
It's a good thing they left at halftime because Jeremy needed some peace and quiet to enjoy the game. As for me, well I'm tired so I'm off to bed, at the end of 3 the Wolverines are winning. I guess I'll have to ask Jeremy who won in the morning.

Somebody is turning 1

Oh yes she is,
turning one already!
I can't take it, she is supposed to stay a baby!
I imagine she had quite the birthday bow on today.....
or at least she better have one on.
Maybe her momma will blog with some precious 1st birthday photos....
She'll be moving to the big girl room at day care soon.
I can't wait!
I can't wait to see her cute little face sitting at the table everyday.
I'll be sneaking her m&ms so that we can become better friends...
Happy Birthday Averie!
Mrs Nicole loves you even though I'm not your favorite person.

Snow


I think it might be time to move.
Everyone's been complaining that there hasn't been any snow. Especially with Christmas, even those that don't love snow were hoping for some of the white stuff.
Not me.
I still think it's gorgeous, I still love to watch it fall.
But the cold, and the shoveling and scraping, what a big pain in the ass.
I'm always the one hoping for snow.
I'm the one a lot of people think of when it gets cold and snows.
Don't get me wrong I still hate the heat but this 25 degree stuff can kiss my rear end.
Nicole doesn't want snow this year, she would like to have 60 degree temps year round.
I'm thinking Tennessee or maybe Northern Fl where we used to live.
Honestly I'm hoping this feeling will pass, I really don't want to become one of those annoying Michiganders that complain all winter cause it's cold and snowing.....
HELLO, WE LIVE IN MI!

January 1



Started the New Year out on a very low key quiet day. I slept till almost noon!!! Crazy, but wonderful.
Jeremy cleaned out the gutters and made us a delicious lunch.
Jacob played xbox and then got invited for a sleep over so he took off at about 330 and we haven't seen or heard from him since.
Sarah took advantage of Jacob being gone and asked to have a friend over. Molly came over this evening and I became very thankful that we only had one daughter because two are VERY loud.
Jeremy and I finished the evening catching up on Once Upon a Time. Great tv show, if you're not watching you should be.
We're all off again tomorrow, maybe we'll venture out of the house...
