Brrr!

Yesterday I had my windows open. The kids played outside till the sun went down. Today? It’s back in the 40s/30s. I know, it could be snowing. And I shouldn’t be complaining. But….it was awesome yesterday. I just wish Mother Nature would make up her mind and be consistent. With weather in the 60s, that is. Wouldn’t that rock?

Parker is getting so grown up. I was looking at pictures of him from less than a year ago and it amazes me how much he has changed! He was reading the Dr. Seuss ABC book tonight. I love that he enjoys learning and is excited to learn how to read!

I had a Relief Society board meeting last night. I was in charge of refreshments, and I whipped up these cupcakes. Thank goodness they were pretty, because {even though I didn’t try them} I could tell they were dry. Oh well. You win some, you lose some!

So, I bought some boots. This is a huge step out of my comfort zone. And I’m still not sure if I like them. I think I need some skinnier jeans, and I’m not quite ready for that! Some day….some day! What do you think?

On Monday we went to the aquarium. It’s nice to have somewhere to go when it’s too chilly outside. The kids love it there, and it’s not overly huge. We’re able to take our time, and only be there for a few hours. Which is about how long the kids last.

This is probably one of our favorite parts. It’s fun to try spot the different fish. And, I get to sit down for a minute! :)

I can’t believe January is almost over! Exciting things to come in February. We move into our new church building. Parleigh’s 1st birthday. Valentine’s day. And my birthday! :)

  1. Ok, Kate. Seriously! Are those still my pants? You need to go out an buy yourself a new pair. I mean, they look great on you, but it is time to buy something for yourself. I love the boots. You're right, though. The pants need to be a little more fitting. I'm not talking skinny jeans, here. But, you've gotten smaller, and so do your jeans need to :)
    I miss the aquarium! I'm glad you guys get to visit it often. Great idea for cool days!

    PS. Those cupcakes look yummy! I'd eat them, even if they were a little dry. WHich I'm sure they weren't too bad... :)

  2. Of course you whipped up some cupcakes! LOL! :)

    Okay. So I'm TOTALLY not as skinny as you, but I got a pair of jeans at GAP that are called "real Straight" and they are stinking hot, if I don't say so myself. :) I wear them with my boots, but fold them up and tuck them in. for some reason I got LONG, but a regular would be good, too.

    good luck! LOVE the boots!
