Renee's 15th Birthday! ...and other January Events!

Happy Birthday to my Good Friend Johnna - we had a nice night out at Sukura Japanese Steakhouse (so good!!!)

So in the middle of us totally redoing our living room - Painting the walls two different colors, painting the trim, cleaning the carpets and shades, getting new furniture...practically living out of the kitchen...we also decide it would be a good time to feed Matthew food for the first time! He likes most veggies - HATES GREEN BEANS!!! He loves his fruits too!!

HAPPY 15TH RENEE!!! It is so hard to believe that my first born is already 15 years old :( She is growing up so fast! For her birthday, she decided she wanted to try out snowboarding. So Jake, Renee, her friend Kayla and I went to Liberty Mountain in PA! We had a great time! Jake and I skied, the girls learned how to snowboard. Let me tell you, those girls took a BEATING!!! They were troopers, they did really well, but if that were me, I would have for sure broken something...good job ladies!!

For Renee's actual birthday - she wanted "Breakfast for Dinner" I made her favorite - chocolate chip pancakes! Her candles were in blueberry muffins :) We had cupcakes too!

Matthew is sitting up now :) Hes learning to rollover, he can sometimes roll from stomach back to his back...but he has a hard time figuring out where his arm goes?
