January update

1.  You might have seen the airplane engine fire up in Jeremy's facebook post.  It was a very exciting moment.  Jeremy was one proud airplane builder. ;). Yet to come: first flight.  Won't be long now.

2. We have been having a bit if a rough patch in terms if obedience here.  I other words, the wild tiger has broken free from the zoo.   It sure seems like that anyway.   We are staying consistent and firm, and collapsing in bed at the end of the night wondering if we won or lost.  It's really fun.  I'm really looking forward to the next 14.5 years.  Is that all I have left??!?

3. We have this book about Old Bear and Little Cub.   The moral if the story is that they love each other with all of their hearts and do all kinds if things together.   N was listening to the book and was really interested.  Then at the end of the book Old Bear and Little Cub snuggle up and sleep together all night long.  At the end of the story, n got real quiet, and then asked "but why don't I don't have anyone to snuggle with all night?"  Um.....wasn't really sure how to handle that one.   Let's just say Old Bear didn't hop in for any longer than normal.

4.  My father got me into Trivia Crack.   I HATE trivia.    I really am no good at it.  But surprisingly, this app has been a ton if fun, but I'm a little disturbed that my younger sister keeps crushing me.   Fresher education maybe?   Depressing.

5.  I had a big crying event the other night about how bored and lonely I am in my life.  It was ugly crying and everything.   Jeremy smiled and nodded and tried to make me feel better.   But low and behold, the next morning Noah and I got a nice invitation to a play date.   And even better, he didn't hurt any kids there. ;).  Just kidding.   He was great, and I had a great time socializing.

6. I've been quite the cook.   My non-New Years resolution was to do more meal planning.  It has been quite successful.  I have tried so many new pinterest recipes, and have scored big time with hubby and kid.  No more egg burritos and chicken nuggets here.  Even better, I have a much better idea how much $ I spend and I'm doing a much better job having the ingredients I need when I need them!!

7. My blogging has been little to none.  Don't know why...just thinking blogging is a fading fad, but I do enjoy writing and posting pictures and keeping a record of every day life.  I may be fewer and further between, but I'm still here.  More pictures of the crazy man coming soon.

8.   Nothing else to report tonight, snuggled up in flannels pants and blankets.  Happy Monday!    Hoping for a fun and smooth week ahead.

Airplane Update

Jeremy is getting super super super close with his airplane.

To say he is pumped is kind of an understatement.

Hence the long hours spent at the hanger these days.

And the most wonderfully, patient, tolerant wife ever.

(and oh so humble too)

He is hoping to have an inspection soon.  

Which I'm sure will do well.

It's what we call SOD.  Schuld Over Do.

And when it comes to something that flies in the air, you won't hear me complain about the SOD.

 Anyone seeing any similarities? 

Scary, huh?

:)  

Gotta love these guys

New Year Update

1.  We went to the Pima Air and Space museum this morning.  It was interesting, and with the exception of one very overly enthusiastic volunteer (following us around giving us information), we had a great time.  And Noah took a great nap, which is a double bonus.

2.  On Christmas day, I got the stupid idea to carry my potato dish (uncooked) to someone's house in Noah's carseat.  Well, obviously it spilled, leaking milk and cheese all over my backseat, the carseat and down into the seat cracks.  It has been quite the process trying to get the stink out.  Currently my backseat is smothered in baking soda, sitting in the back yard.  It is smelling better, but only slightly.

3.  I'm attempting to do some meal planning.  I'm in a bit of a funk, and we get to about 4:45pm and don't have a dinner plan and end up making eggs.  I do like eggs, but not every day.  So I planned out the next three or four weeks, and I will try to get the items I need for the week in advance.  If I have an idea and the ingredients, it will be hard to have an excuse.  Philly Chicken in the crock pot now!

4.  I'm a big Breathe Right fan.  However in the last few weeks Ive been noticing some irritation on my nose that is lasting throughout the day.  So I quit for the sake of my skin, but I'm bummed out, since they really do work well.

5.  I'm such a huge Pinterest fan!  I cannot believe I never discovered it until a month or so ago.  Recipes, cleaning, pictures,  work ideas....it just goes on and on.  Such an amazing collection of things all together!

6.  On week 8 of the 8 week fitness blender plan that my sister Danielle and I have been doing together.  Its been so much fun, and I am looking forward to some of the new stuff they are coming out with this month.  :)  Love free fitness at home!  And really what I love is that I'm never doing the same thing over and over, so I don't get bored.  I'm coming up on a year doing fitness blender!

7.  We got snow yesterday!  It was fun to watch the joy as Noah discovered it in our backyard.  It has been quite chilly, and Jeremy and I have had several discussions about for sure never being cut out for Alaska weather.

8.  5 more days off of work.  Sure have enjoyed the holiday break.   Back to business at usual on Wednesday though (however with lots of new Pinterest ideas to go with it).

9.  Thats all for tonight!  First post of 2015!
