Happy New Year...a little late!

Hi All,

We fell off the global blog world...but we are back! I think we last left just before Thanksgiving or soon after. We had a wonderful and BUSY holiday season. With lots of family and lots of things to do we are happy to get back to our normal schedule. This year we took a trip to see Kris and Melissa in San Diego and then from there headed north to Big Bear (Near LA). Big Bear was AMAZING, but we went without Matt :( Mom, Dad, Micah and I met our family friends at their cabin on the Big Bear Mountain and had a short but relaxing weekend. We took Micah sledding and I thought he would be terrified but after the first round when I asked him if he wanted to go again he looked at me and said "YESSSSSSSS". After Big Bear we got home and began the Christmas Holiday shenanigans. Micah was more interested than last year in the Christmas Holiday but he still doesn't understand the whole Santa bringing presents thing...which is fine, I refuse to use Santa as leverage to make him be on the "nice list", he should be good no matter if he gets presents or not! New Years was great, we spent it with our friends who threw a "Bad Sweater" party...see pictures below! It was nice to ring in the New Year with such great friends, and we wish the whole family could have been there.

Nice Sweater and vest!

Also…Mom and I ran a 5K for a charity event in December, and it was awesome to share the experience with her! I will get closer to my goal of running a ½ marathon, but baby steps right?!
Micah is doing great, he seems to be getting used to the 2 year old room. Although his ability to share his toys has gone downhill! He is in the "mine" stage. Some new things that he has been doing include:

* Saying "exactly" and "Aaaaamazing"
* Counting to 20...jumbled up but he still gets there!
* He likes to sing!
* No matter what football game is on he will scream at the TV and say "GOOOO Bikings"...he hasn't got the "V" sound just yet :)

Other than that we are enjoying each other for a few more months until the madness of March comes around!

Happy New Year to you all!
Love, Love

Hello & Goodbye to Sum•mer

sum·mer 1 ˈsəmər/ noun 1 .  the warmest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from June to August and in the southern hemisphere from December to February. I just wanted to give myself a second to really think about this thing called summer. Anyone else think this definition is just a little bit vague? It's that time of year where we get all excited to have ZERO schedule, endless electronics, the chance to travel and cram in all of the fun you planned for all year long. Then when this so called "summer" ends, you feel bamboozled, like someone just waved that 4th of July pie you went to that party to specifically eat, right in front of your face only to look...not eat. Like seriously, it was here, right in front of my face, and now... it's gone. Now, now we pack lunch every night, we get our homework in (which I don't even understand), we figure out which parent is going to be the taxi for the day, we actually have to ...

She Turned 7!

SEVEN, she did it again... who does she think she is trying to get another year older on us. In all seriousness, she is SEVEN. Like, what happened to 5 and 6? Let me tell you what 7 looks like on my little Pripri... Just a few things about this girl 1. Guess who her favorite person is...duh. Micah 2. She is soooo much more compassionate and caring than I could have ever imagined. 3. She might be 7, however her attitude screams teen! She is sensitive but oh so brave and she is never afraid to take on new adventures! 4. Her best friend is still, you guessed it, Maggie. 5. Right now she is playing softball (second season) and is having a ton of fun. Cheerleading is still on her brain, but for now, we will stick with this. 6. When she laughs, you can't help but laugh with her. Her laugh alone will make you light up. 7. Her favorite things include: Unicorns, Bear (her pink one), Unicorns, Mermaids, those fake glasses (see pic below), her American Girl Doll (pic above), Uni...

The Big Apple

{deep breath}… We did it, we made it, and we are still alive to talk about it… We made it to and from New York City with our sanity in hand! Actually we got back on the 11th of October but it has taken me a few weeks to recover from the trip, I needed a little space between me and NYC, and now that I am feeling whole again I am ready to revisit our trip. When Matt and I were invited to my college teammates wedding in NYC there was NO WAY I was missing it. For one, she’s amazing and I was soooo pumped for her, and 2… it’s NYC! My only discrepancy was to take the kids or to leave them. Well when we asked my parents if they would be willing to take them while we were away, it turned into “sure we will watch them… in NYC!” So there it was the making of a weeklong family trip to the big apple. For those of you who know how type “A” I am, I am sure you could imagine how overwhelmed I became in thinking of all the things we were going to do while we visited, so when mom and dad said we...
