January Happenings

You probably noticed the new blog makeover. We aren't in California yet but will be by the end of the month and for the next several years. Here's to a new chapter in our lives!

January has been busy for us. I decided to make over my parents' bathroom. Whoever owned the house previously thought it would be nice to spray a THICK stucco like texture on the inside walls. We spent 5 days sanding the walls, repainting, hanging shelves and a new mirror and fixtures. This was a total blast for me as I love home projects!

Before

After

We took a weekend trip to Winter Park and spent days sledding, and swimming. We did ski one day and took the boys for their first time. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and we had 2 very grumpy and cold boys. They've both announced they will never ski again. Oh well. Maybe when they are a little older and we'll go closer to spring.

I gave Bailey her first "haircut". Really just a trim of her bangs. She wan't very cooperative but I had to document it! Yesterday, I got red streaks put in my hair. (Just something I do for fun once in a while) Today my mom and I are going for massages. I'm going to miss the freedom to leave my kids with my parents so I can have some "me time".

We are in the last week here in Colorado. I'll be spending the week packing and preparing for our long drive across the southwest. We are excited to be reunited as a family when we see Devin next weekend. We are looking forward to this next adventure and living in sunny, warm California!
