Happy New Year!

Here's to great things to come in 2012! Here are some of my resolutions for this year:

1. Obviously- continue to work on losing this dog-gone baby weight. 32 lbs down, only 7 more lbs to go (I took the "eating for two" a little far during my pregnancy, plus I was prescribed lots and lots of prednisone post pregnancy).  Only a few days into the new year and I am already down a few lbs. whoo hoo! Its been seven horrible days of no- pasta, bread, potatoes, or my daily snickers bar :( I dont know how much longer I can avoid my favorite food groups!

2. I would like to make an effort to save more. I had originally set this resolution as becoming an "extreme couponist". But after researching coupons online this past week, I have decided maybe I should take baby steps. Couponing is alot harder than I thought!

3. Finish up the odds and ends left on our house, and get it SOLD!

4. Continue to keep up with this blog. So far so good. I did miss an entry last week. But that was due to computer problems and a house full of germs. And by computer problems, I mean Charlotte pressing buttons and locking me out.

5. Most importantly- Laugh more, smile more, and appreciate my wonderful life and family.

2012 started off with a bang. Charlotte enjoyed a slumber party with her buddy William, while Mommy and Daddy enjoyed a few too many drinks with friends. The rest of the weekend was spent laying around trying to recover from all the fun we had. ;)


This weekend we decided to take a spontaneous trip to the City Museum, follwed by dinner at Hodaks (YUM!). I have been dying to take my parents to this place. And just like I thought, they loved it! Unfortunately, Charlotte did not get a nap so we were not able to stay long enough to see everything. Plus, this place is so spectacular that I think it calls for a 2-day adventure.

I really do love this place. Makes me feel like a kid. Until I get home and my body is so sore and my knees are all bruised up!! But well worth it. We will have to go back soon, after Charlotte has a nice long nap!

Looks like tomorrow is going to be a fun filled day of football and taking down our outside Christmas decorations. I cannot wait..... ya right- booooo!

This video is for Kelly, and everyone else that says Charlotte is the worst birth control! It does have a pretty cute ending to go with her meltdown though. At least you can get a glimpse of the not so sweet baby Charlie. Not so cute when she's screaming her head off is she?? But I still love her even when she throws her fits. <3
