Reindeer Games!

Every New Year is a New beginning, & what better way to wash away the past year of crazy than takin' a little POLAR PLUNGE in the Atlantic Ocean!

This will be our 3rd Annual Freezin' for Reason!

Kelly & I have dressed as Polar Bears the past 2 years, but we decided to switch it up.

 I found this adorbale "deer" make-up tutorial on pinterest/youtube.

Hopefully we accomplished this look somewhat!

 

Check it out below!

 

I absolutely HATE cold water, but this has been so much fun each year that I can't imagine us not doing it every JANUARY 1st!

 

I will let the pictures do the talkin' now!

HAPPY DANCE!

I have really enjoyed starting this blog. I am still learning A LOT, but in the meantime I love using it as a journal. Or more like scrapbook without having to do all the cutting, gluing, placing of pictures, and & adding cute baubles.

That also left too big of a mess everytime I tried to drag my stuff out.

 

Tonight I let Natalie spoon feed herself.

This week, I swear, she has started using more words & really showing her BIG personality!
I LOVE IT!

 

Words she now says at almost 14months:

dada

mama

HI!

ball (over & over)

MOO

BAA

NEIGHHH

(are animal sounds considered words haha)

 

She says "itty" for RIBBY, our Beagle

 

I usually get called "itty" as well! Hmpf!

(unless she is saying Mommy is "itty bitty," well then that's ok)

 

& a couple of times she has said "tank you"

 

Here is the adorable video of her trying to spoon feed herself!

 

 

 

"Tank You",
