Tonight was Italian night for our family.  We went to Buca di Peppo for some family style Italian dishes that are always good. 

Today, the girls and I were suppose to go away for the weekend for the second annual girls mountain getaway trip but mother nature ruined that for us.  The weather was icy and the roads were yucky so we decided it wasn't very smart to travel up the mountain by ourselves in a winter storm.  So unfortunately, our trip was postponed ..hopefully not cancelled.  I really hope we can all find another free weekend so we can get away.  We had so much fun last year and I was really looking forward to it this year.   But on the bright side, I get to hang out with this cutie!!

Will is getting a little bit better at eating with a spoon.  Today for lunch, I gave him spaghetti o's and let him go at it all by himself.  I took his shirt off, wrapped a towel around him, and just stepped away.  He really didn't too bad and nothing ended up on the floor or the ceiling!

I have amazing friends!  Sometimes we don't stop and think about how wonderful it is to have friends in your life.  Friends are always there for you when you need them.  Some friends you talk to daily and some maybe just a few times a year but when you need them they are instantly there.  Some friends I have had since the third grade and some friendships have developed recently through work.  Either way, friends are great to have around.  They listen, don't judge, and keep you busy when you need some distractions from "real life."   Thanks friends!  You mean the world to me!

We went to a cowboy birthday party on Saturday for sweet little Jonah who turned 4.  We had a wonderful time and Will loved riding the ponies.   The birthday boy Jonah and Will!

The weather today was beautiful, I believe almost 70 degrees!  Will and I played outside this afternoon for a while and had the best time.  He played in his sandbox and really enjoyed himself.  He threw sand  everywhere and I had to strip his clothes off outside before going inside.  I didn't mind though, it was worth it just to watch him have so much fun!   The weather was great but I know it's just a tease because probably in a week or two the temperatures will drop and we will be miserable again.  I was actually hoping for some snow this year so Will could play in it.  But we sure did soak up some fresh air today!  Hope you did too!

I was reading my Parent's Magazine tonight and came across a fun photo website called www.picmonkey.com.  You can add silly objects to photos, add text, change colors, and all kinds of fun things.  Most of it is free but there is a charge for an upgrade.  This masterpiece is not great but I was just playing around with all the fun features.  I love the mustache!
