CSU!!

Yesterday Austin go the much anticipated news that he has been accepted to Colorado State University!  I couldn't be more proud of him!  He has worked so hard and has been so determined - and it has all paid off!  Even better is that he was also accepted to KU as well - so now he has his choice of schools! I did not go to college, and to have my son not only get accepted, but have his choice of schools makes me so very proud!  Great job Austin!  We all knew you could do it!

Broken Foot!

So right after Thanksgiving, I took a little tumble while attempting to hang Christmas lights, and broke my right foot...my first broken bone! Although I realize it could have been worse - it's been a total pain in the butt the last 5 weeks!  Luckily I'm not in a hard cast, but in a super sexy compression boot that must weigh about 8 pounds before it's inflated! I'm a sight to see for sure!  Well just this week I went back in to have some xrays and much to my dismay - it hasn't healed one stinkin bit!  So it's another 4 weeks in the boot, another 4 weeks with no driving and another 4 weeks walking like Frankenstein =0)  Here's to hoping for some healing! =0)

2013 - A New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  So begins 2013 and a renewed commitment to continue this blog.  My Lexi girl was here for the holidays - so I had all my 'babies' together which is all I could ever asked for.  We had a great time, but it's always bittersweet.  She mentioned to me how disappointed she is that I hadn't updated my blog (in a REALLY long time), and that she really wished I would start back up again....so here we go! 

It was great spending time together - and I love that we got an opportunity to have a family photo shoot (thanks so much Kate Kemp!!!)!  They turned out even better than I imagined - so here's a few of our favorites.
