2017 New Year! This is the year!

We are half way thru January and I am just barely getting around to taking off Christmas decorations and sitting down with Jason to write down our resolutions for the year. I am determined to keep up with this sad blog. As the girls get older I realize how important it is to document as much as possible especially since I feel like time is going by so fast!!

Jason, has been doing so well at work! I am so proud of everything he has accomplished in his career. He still loves to play basketball but after another ankle injury he has been on the sidelines for a while. He had a great time during his hunting trip, luckily for me, he didn't get anything. 

Zoey, 3. This girl is just the best. She loves her dance class and being a princess. She loves going to the library and checking out books. I will often find her in her room looking at her books and talking to herself like she is reading. She loves to sing as loud as possible and to dance. She loves her sister and can play nicely with her but sometimes she has a hard time sharing. She wants to be a doctor and plays doctor in her princess dress every day. She is talking so much and is starting to speak more and more in Spanish but still prefers English.

Nora, 1. Wiggles. She lives up to her nickname. She can not stay still she moves around all the time! She is fearless, sweet and loud. She loves screaming and loves to sing to herself at night before she falls asleep. She is so smiley and has the goofiest, cheesiest & cutest smile I have ever seen. She is slowing starting to talk more and it is a cute combination of English, Spanish & gibberish. She loves giving hugs and kisses. My favorite thing is when I am doing the dishes and she comes over and just hugs my legs! Sweetest girl you will ever meet! 

Lupita, well I finally stopped working and it has been quite a mix of emotions. I am glad that I no longer have the stress of working but I miss having something that was just for me. I am starting to train again for a half marathon, I am determined to beat my last PR which was 4 years ago!!! I love being a mom and although it is so challenging I am always trying to find ways to entertain the girls and myself! Life is good. 

Our life has been filled with love and laughter this last year. We are happier than ever and that is not being said lightly. Having a family has brought on more happiness that I could have ever imagined. Granted some days I am not as happy as I would like but that is life. I am really looking forward to what this year will bring. We have so many things planned for this year, hopefully we can make them happen!
