Getting Better

This week has been a week of sickness for this household. Nora got sick on Monday around dinner time, I got it around 11:00 at night and Steve got it the next morning. Tuesday was spent on the couch watching movies and sleeping. Wednesday we were all feeling a little better. Thursday Nora got the sickness again. Now that it is the weekend we are all feeling better! Yeah!



This weekend is going to be a weekend of relaxing! I am looking forward to tonight. I am going to be sitting myself down on the couch and watch Breaking Dawn Part 1. I am so excited to watch the next chapter of the Twilight series and be Team Edward. Haha!! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Wordless Wednesday!

It's Friday!

I was talking to my husband the other day and Fridays came up in the conversation. We talked about how Fridays have changed in their meaning since we have had a baby. Before Nora we would look forward to Fridays as a night out with friends. Having cocktails, not having to worry about how much we drink and if we were going to spend the night at a friends or if we will be able to make it home. We looked forward to Fridays as a break from school and work. Fridays meant it was the weekend and we could lay around and watch movies all day. We could just be lazy for 2 days.


Now Fridays have a whole new meaning. Usually Friday nights are spent at home. We spend time playing with Nora, if she is lucky she may get to stay up a little longer than normal... a whopping 7:30!!! After she goes down we usually watch a movie or catch up on TV shows that have been on our DVR for the week. We may have a drink, but nothing to crazy. Now these Fridays are perfect. I get to catch up with my husband and how his week has been. Friday then leads to Saturday which is usually a trip to Target (maybe Bed, Bath and Beyond... haha). We also usually do a "family" activity on Saturdays. Last weekend we went sledding. Other times it is a walk in the park, mall, something just to get us out and have let Nora get some interaction with others. If we do go out on the weekends it is usually on a Saturday. We try to go out atleast once a month and Nora is able to have a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa's. Sundays are just stay at home days. It is a day to get ready for the upcomming week.

This weekend is a little different for us though. We are going to Target today...on a Friday!! Saturday will be a night out for us! And Sunday will be relaxing...

What are your plans for the weekend? Have your weekends change since having kids, getting married or just getting older?

Nora having fun playing with Play dough!!!

Nora's Winter Onederland

Nora's Winter Onederland Birthday went perfectly. I had so much fun planning everything! The colors were white, pink and silver. I made a hot chocolate bar that had a variety of topping. Some of them were: chocolate shavings, crushed peppermint, chocolate mint marshmellows, plan marshmellows, marshmellows topped with peppermint and sprinkles, whipped cream, sprinkles and for the adults we had some baileys and DiSorono! SO GOOD!!! I am thinking that we made have one at Nora's birthday party every year!! We had lots of food and it all went. Nora got lots of great gifts and loves playing with all of them. I think we had over 30 people over to celebrate her big day! My Grandma, Uncle and Cousin also came to celebrate--it was a three hour drive for them and I did not know they were coming. It was a nice surprise. The following are just a few pictures from Nora's Big Day!!!

Here is a balloon wreath that I made from Pinterest. It was so much fun to make, but I never knew how expensive balloons are! There are over 300 balloons on this wreath!

Singing Happy Birthday to Nora. I could not sing, because it made me cry. I cannot believe that my little girl is one and that I no longer have a baby, but an infant.
Family picture. Behind us is our hutch. I put out pictures from each month during her first year so people could see how she has changed.

The Birthday Girl!!!

I am back!!

I am back! The reason I have not posted much lately is that our monitor for Nora blocked my internet connection...well no more! For Christmas Nora (Steve) got me an internet adaptor for my laptop so the monitor no longer blocks the internet!!!

Since my last post we have had a lot of firsts for Nora...Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and being her being away from Steve and I for a week.

Halloween was a blast she was a lady bug and we went Trick-or-Treating. Thanksgiving she gobbled up the food and Christmas she was one spoiled little girl!!! Over the New Year Nora was with my parents. Steve and I went to Mexico for a week and it was so nice. Nora did great being away from us and my parents loved every minute with her and Brody, of course.

Now I am busy planning her Winter Onederland birthday this weekend! Check back for updates and more posts!!!!
