January 2020

For my birthday this year we invited Kirsten and James.  We went to Texas Road House, then went Axe throwing.  Fun times!

My birthday fell on a Sunday this year.  It was extra special because Isaak was ordained a deacon that same day! He's so cute!

Birthday celebrations after church,

then later that night at my Mom's

Shaun's birthday!  All he wanted for his birthday was to go to the CES convention in Las Vegas again this year and see all the new gadgets.  He got back in time for his birthday!

Date night with Lila at Rita's

Museum of Natural Curiosity with Porter.  My membership is about to expire and I don't know if I'll ever join again, so getting our use out of it!

Mid January I had my annual weekend away.  I relaxed, went shopping, went to Texas Road House, went to the temple, and had a girl's night with my sisters and saw Little Women.  Here's the only picture I got from the weekend!

Taking the kids bowling.  Sara came with me and we had such a great time!

I love this boy and his silly humor!

It's not December without our Elf Candy Cane!

Petersen's Farm is my favorite Christmas destination. It broke my heart a little bit that Isaak didn't want to see Santa this year, these years slip by so fast!

I love that they love eachother

Another free zoo day!  Am I bad that I take my kids out of school?!

Kate, Jane, and James slept at our house that night, then we went to Mom's clubhouse for the Woodford Christmas party!  I kind of liked having it after Christmas this year, it kept the celebrations going.
