Birthday and Bundt

The 18th of January was my 37th birthday,

(Yikes am i really thirty-seven).

It was such a great day.

My husband made it extra special by bringing this home to celebrate with our small group.

They are SO delicious and beautiful.

If you haven't tried a "nothing bundt cake" you definitely should.

Yummy. 

Not so good for the diet, but yummy!

Target and Facebook Fast

Random I know...

When you want to really make a difference in your family I've found you have to take a hard core look at yourself and were you spend time as a mother.

I've found that I need to put some things aside in order to make room for other more important things

(like planning activities and actually teaching the kids something substantial).

This Christmas I spend WAY too much time and of course money at Target.

Therefore, I'm on a Target fast and it's great.

I've also found when I'm tired or just want to zone I go the facebook route.

Really.

Let's be honest...

 Facebook to me at least is a lot of comparing and bragging and really doesn't do anything for me.

So.

I'm on a facebook fast.

Sorry ahead of time to those who only connect to me through facebook.

I just need a break.

It feels good to control and not be controlled by things around me.

I have a lot more time and to be honest my thought life is better.

Too cute.

Check out these cuties.  

A 

Friend took these photos while on a hike.

Too Cute. 

Sleep + Two

I love to nap with Nolan.

There I said it.

He is so squishy, cuddly and doesn't even wiggle when napping.

He is a dream to sleep with.

You would think Taryn would be the one to sleep with, but o'no...

It's Nolan.

Taryn is cuddly and all, but she is SO wiggly when it comes time to fall asleep.

Nolan on the other hand.

Falls right to sleep and is a squishy rock solid sleeper.

It's awesome!

So.

I love to lay down with him at least for five minutes.

It's been like this for awhile.

You may ask, "doesn't Taryn want you to lay down with her too"

Occasionally

 and I do,

but then she pushes me and says,

"Nolan's turn"

and

She's okay with it.

Why?

I don't know the twin thing is complex, but it works.

And.

Then I get to sleep with "dreamy".

And sometimes he's just hilarious when I go in to pick him up out of nap time.

One day i found him ready to get out of bed like this :)

 Since we are talking about sleep i found Taryn asleep in her bed a little conflicted...

Apparently she got into the dress up during nap time...and became a ballerina "batman"?

Too funny.

Hope your sleeping good.

Enjoy your time with your kids it goes SO fast.
