January photo stream

One of my goals for 2013 is to take more photos....and to use the "real camera" more often! So I decided I'd get serious and really try 365 this year. Some days are really tough; I think yikes we've been really lazy/boring/lame today but I know the compilation will be so fun to see! So here goes my best attempt to capture a bit each day.
 (I'm adopting this mantra: I will not stress too much 
if I miss a day or wind up with a blurry/flash disaster of a photo!) 
Jan 1: it's only a matter of a wee bit more time and he's going to surpass me!
(it wasn't until days later that I realized the quality of this photo...
but, I'm not stressing nor am I ditching this project on day1!)
 Jan 2: Just an average moment for these two. They have such a playful relationship!
Jan 3: a little fun with one of her BFFs. 
Jan 4: Bryson has never experienced playing in the snow so insta-snow equaled insta-happiness!
Jan 5: game night with a little mexican train
Jan 6: trombone time
Jan 7: not even back at school a whole week and we are already making a trip to the Dr and pharmacy! 
Jan 8: my new hat arrived; I've been wanting a slouchy hat for awhile.
Brian call's me rosstafarian in this one...(he has fun names for several of my hat looks). 
Ross-ta-what? the kids asked....so we googled it. 
Oh my! The kids got quite the giggles imagining their mama giving little kids cigarettes and such. I am pretty jolly though and this hat makes me even more so.   
Jan 11: Quick someone let me take a pic; I haven't taken one in several days!
Jan 12: Little feet (and random videos) are a constant find on my camera roll. 
He's nearly as efficient with electronics as the rest of us! 
Jan 13: loving Parker never grows old! 
Jan 14: oh my sweet girl; get out the bricks she's getting to big!
Someone please stop the clock for a bit!
Jan 15: We got some freebies while listening to a nook presentation over the weekend so
Jungle Speed has been a new favorite. 
Jan 16: lately anytime he sees a QT drink he asks: "that mine?" YUM!
Jan 17: goofing around on an upcoming project
Jan 18: a little love for my family 
Jan 19: party on! 
 Jan 20: After 6 months in the box I thought it was finally time to try out my boots.
Jan 21: We implemented 15 minutes of special 1:1 time; NO interruptions allowed. 
It was awesome!
Jan 22: What do you do with a twizzler when you want to roam the house?
Store it chipmunk style!
Jan 23: MWAH! and other silly faces followed by "I see?"
He loves seeing the photos, often begging to see them even before they've been snapped!
Jan 24: He was laid down in his crib for a nap but this is where I found him when I went to wake him. Since then he climbs in and out like a pro;
he wakes in the middle of the night to retrieve his milk from the kitchen.
 I've even found my phone in his crib!
Jan 25: Poptropica overload

Jan 26: the laundry room has been slowly evolving...this rug is the newest addition. 
Jan 27: letter fishing
We realized on New Year's eve that Bryson is pretty good with letter recognition. 
He knows all the upper case letters and most of their sounds!
Jan 28: Braeden got involved in the honey-dos. 
I finally decided to put this vintage door to use (it's year long welcome in storage was over!)
It helps give a little more character to our kitchen 
and breaks up the ominous golden hue that has also outgrown it's welcome!
 Jan 29: twizzlers have been in high demand here lately, this day they decided to get creative with them
Jan 30: "I eat, mama?" me: yes, hold on a minute.
This is what I returned to: He got a plate, pushed a stool to the pantry, climbed up, 
got out the box of poptarts, opened up a package and ate breakfast on his own. 
No need to wait for mom....this boy's got skills.   

Jan 31: Alexis was so excited that her curls were staying in!
