Ok so I know I am 17 days late....but better late than never (right?)! I have been so lazy these past few weeks but I think it is just what I all needed. Down time has been much appreciated after our super busy 2012 year!! First I wanted to do a little looking back at our year:
January: We just laid low and tried to recover from the holidays! I also finally started to feel like myself again. Bye-bye morning sickness!
February: We spent most of our free time at birthday parties, baby showers and wedding!
March: Found out that baby #2 is a BOY!
April: Had a lot of fun planning for baby Colton and hanging out with family and friends. We also finally got the basement finished (it looks amazing thanks to my daddy and Trey)!!!
May: Frankie turned 2! We took him to the zoo and a Cardinals game to celebrate (ok we wanted to go to)!!
June: We took our FIRST & LAST beach vacation as a family of 3! Frankie loved the sand and the ocean! My cousin Jennifer also got married and Frankie was the ring bearer. Cutest thing ever!!
July: David Colton Boyer was born on 7/9/12!
August: We took a mini family trip to STL. Frankie also got a big boy bed!
September: Enjoyed my last month on maternity leave with the boys. Also had lots of fun at the fair!
October: I went back to work on October 1. :( We enjoyed the pumpkin patch and lots of birthday parties and baby showers.
November: Colton got baptized and we enjoyed Thanksgiving with family!
December: My dad had back surgery but seems to be healing well. We had a blast at Christmas. Frankie loved everything about it!
*The highlight of my year was our beach vacation it was just what we needed before Colton was born!! Colton is the sweetest little guy ever!! We are so blessed!
2013 Goals:
- Lose 8 lbs
- Slow down and enjoy the little things
- Finish decorating the living room and kitchen
- Finish decorating Frankie's room
- Pay off debit (minus truck & house)
- Keep our cash budget
- Pay cash for things
- Get Colton sleeping through the night
Ok so I made these goals before the New Year and I have to say so far we have kept them. :) If I lose 8 lbs I will be back to my pre Frankie weight. Honestly I don't care much about weight however I would like all of my old clothes to fit so we shall see. I have changed my breakfast and lunch eating habits and that has helped some, just need to add a little working out to the mix. Decorating will come when it comes but we have been in this house for close to 2 years and still don't have anything on the wall in the living room and kitchen. We do have our ideas and will slowly get the things we want. :) Frankie room is getting a face lift since he got a big boy bed and new dinosaur bedding! The debit thing is big for us this year. We would love to have Trey's student loan paid off and finish paying off the basement!! We have a plan and know we can do it!! I have been saying for a few years now that I know we would do better if we used cash and stuck to a cash budget. Well this year that is exactly what we are doing. We are very excited and have already seen awesome results just in the short 17 days that we have been doing it. I hope we can keep it up. Lastly, Colton still gets up every 2-3 hours at night. I know we both would be so much happier if we could just get him sleeping through the night.
It wouldn't be a blog post without a few pictures:
Best Big Bro....................Best Baby Bro
Yep that's the best I could get. Haha!
Hope everyone has a blessed and happy 2013!! Can't wait to see what is in store for us this year!
