January Happenings

Heavenly Moment: Sitting on an almost deserted beach on a perfect day, my kids playing nicely in the sand (not eating it or throwing it), and no one climbing on me (for the moment). Ahhhhhh.......

So January went by in a wave of beautiful sunshine and getting back into our routine after the big holidays. I really haven't posted cause I haven't had any cool pictures. All we've really done different, outside our routine, is go to the beach a ton! I'm obsessed. Its been so beautiful and the kids are so good, playing in the sand and giving me a few moments without kids crawling on me. So we've been at least 6 times in the last 2 weeks. We also had a really fun day with our friends in Burbank! I forgot to bring my camera into the play area so I don't have a picture of that. We also had a fun get together with Leanna and her kids (we also went and had a picnic at the beach), and a fun Superbowl party with Dave and Leanna, and kids, at our house. We had a short but fun trip to my parents while Jason was out of town for work. We got to go to Taryn's field hockey game and she scored her first goal! So exciting. And Jason got to take Jayne to the Daddy and Me day at her preschool last weekend. It's been a great month. I got sick this past week with a sinus infection, but I'm recovering! I'm excited for February and Valentines day. More on that later. Here's a few not great pictures from the past few weeks......

With Jason and kids at the Beach on a Saturday.
Tori, Brooklynn (my cousin), and Jocelyn. Jayne was having a melt down and wouldn't get in the picture. The girls have so much fun together! We love getting together.
Taryn at her Field Hockey Game! I played in HS and loved it. She's only in middle school, but made the middle school team and thinks she might tryout for the HS team next year. I was so excited to catch one of her games and see her score a goal!
Ryan fell asleep on my lap at the game so I actually got to watch! Small miracle :-)

Leaving for Daddy & Me Day. They did it on a Saturday so dad's wouldn't have to take off work. Jason took her out for breakfast too and then their little program at school. She had been talking about it the entire month and loved it!

Jayne had been begging us to take her swimming so we finally did this past weekend. The water was actually warm and the weather perfect. We had a great day. And Jayne swam like a fish! She didn't forget anything and just jumped right in. She even starting to take breaths when she swims really far. I can't wait till this summer.
Jayne took this yesterday at the beach. I guess this pretty much describes our month :-)
