Fwd: My best 90 minutes of ice time in 2012

This was an email my brother sent me just minutes ago. It's the perfect way to end my 2012 and start my blog for 2013!
Happy Holidays!
>
> Part of my holidays included working a USA Hockey/PHL tournament in Dallas. Although these things definitely keep you busy and provide for almost no free time, I was able to coordinate an afternoon with my sister and my nephew and niece. The niece is just 12 weeks, but I had the privilege of taking my nephew (just under 2.5 years old) skating for the first time.

> Of all the hours and hours and hours I have been in a rink in 2012, this was hands down the most fun 90 minutes that I have had on the ice all year!!

Sweet Big Brother

It's been 3 weeks. Each day it appears more and more Normal to have another little one around.

Fwd: Major Life Changes

> Wow! What a whirlwind of a couple weeks! Our sweet little Hannah made her way into the world October 2. Our world as we knew it has completely changed! After lots of conversations with Carson and prepping him for this major life change here Carson meets Hannah for the first time!

Life changes

October 2nd we welcomed our sweet little Hannah into the world. Here is Carson meeting her for the first time.

Major Life Changes!

Look at my little man! This year has been such a whirlwind! I can't believe Carson is 2!!! The last two years have been amazing! Carson is such a doll! So sweet! He loves to laugh... And his laugh is so adorable! His smile is contagious! He LOVES trucks, dinosaurs, animals, puzzles, books and tractors! Everyday I feel more than blessed to have Carson in my life!

Hibachi

Last night we sat at the hibachi table with Carson. Let's just say the look on his face when the big flames up close was best described as 'concerned'. He was very interested and seemed to enjoy the night! I love my sweet pea!!

Week 2 & 3 Completed

Moving right along!

Week 2 in Progress

Week two in progress. We had to make an unexpected trip to Tulsa so I had to leave my project in the middle but I hope to finish week two and do week three all at once! Wish me Luck on a busy weekend!

Tulsa

Look how handsome my boys are. Although our trip was for a sad reason we are. We were truly blessed to have spent time with family. Carson loved looking out the windows at the hotel!

Week 1 complete!

Donuts-B-Kyra

Carson had his very first experience at the donut shop a few weeks ago... After a banana and orange for breakfast first of course! Needless to say - he loved them! He also got to take a picture with B. isn't she beautiful? I think so! Do sweet too! She sent Carson home with some little people toys to play with. I was so happy to see how willing she was to pass them on to Carson! At the very bottom is a picture of Carson with our friends dog Kyra. Dax is usually the more friendly dog and kyra usually barks... Ryan was a little worried about her with him bc she usually plays tougher with the older kids but they ran around like crazy and got along great while Dax curled up with me.

Carson Happenings

Isn't he just the sweetest most awesomest most perfectest??? I think so!

Hutto House revamp

So as a part of my 2012 New years resolution I am doing a 52 week organization/ de-clutter challenge. The objective is that you tackle 1 small project at a time. This week is counter tops (pictures to come at the end of the week) making sure things that are out have a purpose. I have done a few other things in addition such as cleaning out my oven (see above!)and organizing my very small laundry room in order to get a jump start on next weeks challenge - kitchen cabinets.
