The New Year

First of all, in case anyone is wondering where all my recipes went, I started a separate blog just for recipes.  I'm slowly adding all my recipes to it, including ones from Pinterest and magazines that I haven't tried yet (but I will make comments about them after I try them).  This is to assist in one of my resolutions, which is to cook A LOT more so that I have all my recipes in one place and electronic so I can look them up at the store.  It's called The Cook in Me.

Another resolution is generally more positivity and less computer time so to help accomplish both of those, I deactivated my Facebook account...not that anyone cares, but I just wanted to mention it in case anyone noticed that I didn't comment on photos or say happy birthday via FB.  So to my friends...please feel free to email photos since I won't see your cute kid pics anymore!

Finally, we had a last minute NYE celebration at which I got zero decent photos. :(  But here are a few nonetheless...

The boys apparently really like Dora?

The older kids had fun coloring...

Shockingly, we got them all to wear hats for a minute...

But it was madness trying to get the babies in a photo...

And an unrelated but cute photo of Ella, Mason and Ryan at the zoo this weekend...
