1. Holy I always have good intentions of doing other post during the week like a thankful Thursday again but the weeks get away on me! SO another week, a head cold and lovely tantruming 5 year old today..some days are hard ....thankful for those days too cause they are a lot easier then what some people deal with:)
2. Ever look at your kids and wonder when there hands starting looking like little man hands or when your daughter started looking a little taller and slender? or your baby isn't so much a baby but a big talking kid who still warms your heart every time he's in the room...I pray we are missing the terrible two's with him but I do remember the 3's should be called the terrible 3's haha so I'm holding out for my calm, sweet big boy to stay that way...
I love his sweet sloppy kisses he plants on me randomly on my forehead or cheek or the way he says "be nice" when the big kids are fighting or something, I love the way he gets so excited to see me when I've been out, I love his big blue eyes and his perfect little hand in mine leading me to show me something he has done.....and that perfect little hand that fits in mine will one day be a big man hand before I know it and so right now I love every second of him and his perfect little hands...
3. Ever feel like the winter that isn't much of a winter is so depressing almost in Jan and Feb? Feels like all I do sometimes is clean up or bake hence the 5 lb winter gain I suppose right? Is that why people go on trips away now? The days feel long, the kids feel cooped in and life seems to s l o w right down... summer days start feeling so far away and spring feels like its still so far off :( I just want to run outside and go on walks but isn't that how we all get this time of year!
4. Our downstairs bathroom finally done I couldn't find a before but it was just cement and wood so here it is
not all the way decorated but getting there..
not all the way decorated but getting there..
exciting to have it done For some reason the laundry baskets are so full all I can think is because they actually put there pj's away and use the same towel for more than one shower :) its very very nice!! and so thankful for my handy handy man and my brother for helping us out!
5. We had a meeting for our primary workers Sunday night it went really good and we made a fruit pizza bar for refreshments that we saw on pinterest so easy and pretty.....it turned out really good I thought....we have great people in our primary makes it fun and my job easier:)

6. I love the new shows the firm and Alcatraz....needed a good fast paced show like lost or all time favorite prison break:) I loved and miss our prison break netflicks marathon D and I had.... so awesome....
7. I absolutely hate girl drama in school nothing makes me madder and sadder than how girls treat each other ....I hung out with guys in high school much easier that way I had good friends too but I hung out alot with my brother and friends ...seriously girls can be so petty judgmental and picky....I guess we all learn who our real friends are that way too don't we and hope that our children don't have to go through so much hurt....
8. I kind of really like these earrings.... my sister in law alley gave me a pair at Christmas and I ordered some pretty much the day after and love them:) they are light, don't hurt my ears at all and I am super allergic to most metals, and have a super cute vintagey feeling....found here

No. 2 "looking like little man hands". Boy can I EVER relate to that one. My boys now have BIG man hands and when I look at them...I panic and think....wow...when did THAT happen. lol
K2 is so darn cute!!!!
No. 4 GORGEOUS bathroom!!! Awesome job guys!
No. 5 Can I come and work for you in Primary? Yum! What a great idea for refreshments.
No. 8 - Ooooo! I LOVE these earrings out now. So lightweight for sure. But I really like the look of "lace" and "lattice". So cool. Thanks for the link.
No. 9 - I knew it!!!! Doesn't take long does it. ; ) I can still remember when I said I would never be a cell phone girl. And now my family has three for just us here at home. Crazy. But seriously...how did we ever live without them before, eh?
January is almost over Christal! Can't wait. HA ha.
Karsen is not allowed to grow up & get big!! I won't allow it. He is the sweetest and such a little charmer---I can't imagine him ever having the terrible twos OR threes.
Those earrings are gorgeous : ) and they look great on u.
I am also a huge fan of those shows, not a fan of January and February, a big fan of the iPhone (as u already know) and now that App as well. Do u know if there's a way to document it after the year? I love it & would love it that much more if it could be printed off to save forever. Thx for intro-ing My365 to me :) if u find other cool ones pls share.
Hope u have a fantastic Wednesday! Love ya! D
I hope Karsen will skip the terrible twos...Levi did. He was the sweetest, unfortunately he is now in the terrible fours!!
Cute bathroom, cute earrings, cute fruit pizza idea I'll have to try that sometime!
Oh and if you are sick of January maybe we need a girls night out to be planned!! hint hint.
LOVE your 10!
I think the fruit pizza bar is SUCH a great idea. THANK you for sharing, might have to do that.
I also LOVE your picture a day idea. I will have to start it in February. Could you email me it, I can't copy and paste of your blog ;)
I will have to take a look at those earrings. I am pretty picky when it comes to earrings. Can't be too long. Can't be heavy.... etc...
Love it Christal! What an amazing fruit pizza bar, I love that idea. Your bathroom is gorgeous!
that fruit pizza bar is an awesome idea! also, when i see you on monday tell me where your shower curtain is from. i know you aren't going to say oh i just made it myself!ha! i'm just hoping you wont say this ol thing i had it for years...
