A Year In Review

I'm looking back on the crazy year that was 2012.  As I look back, I see that yes, my life is absolutely insane, but I love it!



Post the first sentence of your first blog post of each month. You can also add a favorite picture from each month.


January

Last night, we got Sydney to sleep around her actual bed time, but Ben wanted to stay up and party.





February

On February 14, 2012 at exactly 8:15 am we welcomed Rylie Jane Tiemann into our crazy family.




March

I'm sure any of you out there with kids knows that when you add a new baby to your family there is a busy adjustment phase. 




April

Most of the time I'm pretty laid back and don't act like much gets to me.




May

Well last week was quite a week!  Thankfully this week is much slower.




June

Yesterday was an amazingly spontaneous day.  I love weekend days like that.




July



Absolutely Exhausted and Completely Sleep Deprived  That's the life of a parent, right?





August

This week has been a blur of time flying and all kinds of emotions.  I'm not going to bring drama to my blog, it already happened with Facebook, but I will say that I don't think my family will ever be the same again, and maybe, just maybe that's for the best.  




September

Shawn went to play football with some friends this morning and this afternoon we are planning on going to Kansas City for some swimming, burgers, and maybe Santa CaliGon Days this evening.




October

Sorry, I seem to have MIA for awhile from a lot of parts of my life.  There has been a lot going on in our crazy house, and between Shawn's work travel and many other somewhat personal things, I've been on the verge of a nervous breakdown.




November

Oh my goodness.  I had no idea that when I had kids that eventually every holiday that you already love, would be drawn out even more.




December

Yup, our family is expanding by the minute, or so it feels.  I'm an aunt again!

As I look outside my window::: The sun is shining so bright and it's absolutely gorgeous outside. The leaves are just starting to change. We put up our outside decorations last night for fall and Halloween. It's looks so cute out there. Right now I am:::: Sitting at the counter trying to quickly type up this post and eat my breakfast.

Long Time, No Talk

 Hey!! It’s been so long since I’ve come on here with anything other than recipes. Sadly, I haven’t been cooking much lately, so I don’t have any new recipes at the moment, but I have been super busy. It’s Nutcracker season in our house. It’s Christmas time, school concert time, and we have a million birthdays happening now and soon, but the thing that’s taking up all of our time is Nutcracker Shenanigans. All three girls are in the show. This year, Scottie is a sunflower. Rylie is a party child, a strawberry, and the understudy for both Clara and Fritz. Sydney is a snow, a trooper, and a part time flower. Ben is also working tech for the show. He’s been helping set everything up, and during the show he’ll be working the light board. I’ve been volunteering by watching littles during the tech week rehearsals, and another mom and myself have taken on the responsibility of running the Nutcracker Tea Party fundraiser for the pre professional dance company. It’s been fun, exhausting, someti
