Dirty Thirty!

Turning thirty has definitely been bittersweet for this mama. While I know age is just a number, there have been some noticeable differences since turning twenty a decade ago such as:
  • I thought disrupted sleep was over once Layla started sleeping through the night as a baby. Boy was I wrong! My poor thirty year old bladder can only make it until about 3:30 a.m. before awakening me and screaming, "hey, don't you know we're thirty now!" 
  • Not that I was ever a big drinker, but you can forget surviving a hangover without feeling like you need oxygen, an IV pole, two Xanax, and a cold dish towel. 
  • Sporting my natural hair color again is now only a fantasy, I found a grey hair or three. Looks like the blonde will be there to stay. So don't worry, there will be no more guessing which hair color I will have when I show up at a family event.
  • I never cared for my legs much anyways, however, thirty has introduced me genetically to varicose veins. 
  • Metabolism, well that's just honestly another blog entry for itself. 
Despite the shortcomings of the 3-0, I am so blessed to of seen another decade! Here's to 10 more years of fabulous! 

My coworker and her master photography skills sure know how to make a girl feel twenty again!
My best friend, Tina, and Al threw me a small party at Provinos. Not a lot of pictures to show seeing how I am the photographer in my family, and I was the one being celebrated!

Superbowl Sunday!

We were mighty excited to cheer on our dirty-birds! Much to our dismay, they did not win the championship against the patriots. There is always next year! 

Sweetest little Falcon fans!

Singing the National Anthem.
Enjoying some Falcon cupcakes!

Proud Mama!

Third grade really gave us a run for our money this year. Carter fell behind in math this year, and worked so hard to improve his grade. With lots of practice, he accomplished his goal and exceeded more than our expectation goal. So proud of him! He received the effort award at school!

Pitiful!

I am such a terrible mother for forcing my eight year old to eat homemade chicken pot pie and sauteed spinach with garlic. The squirt bottle now enforces him making a decent effort on his meals. We know...we're mean.


But....


he knows the squirt...
is coming!

UPDATE: He did eat all of his spinach, and picked the peas and carrots out of the pot pie..grrrrrrr.

Layla's sweet shop!

I am literally three months behind on the "holiday baking," so Layla decided to catch me up today by making some homemade chocolate chip cookies. She made them all by herself too!! What better to do on a rainy day!

Aprons and selfie, check!














Finishing off her baking with some hot chocolate!
