January Fun!

Here are a few of our highlights from January.  First, we went to a birthday party for our neighbor Will, which was at Jump 4 Fun.  The boys loved it!

This was written on the back of one of Jack's worksheets from school.  I LOVE this stage, when they sound words out...

Charlie had crazy hat hair at Jack's soccer game:

The third weekend in January, Nora and I went to a girls weekend at the Lake of the Ozarks with our neighbors.  I debated even going at all, but I decided at the last minute to go and just bring Nora along.  She was 6 weeks old at the time, and she was a total trooper!  She did great on her first long car rides, barely made a peep while we shopped all day Saturday and even slept while 7 people got pedicures (which took forever with only 2 technicians on staff).  She did start to get a little feisty while we were out to dinner Saturday night, but we literally had been gone from the condo for 8 hours.  So proud of my little lady!

All the ladies (except Nora and me): Kim, Melissa, Kim, Chrissy, Renee, Theresa & Jen

Pedicures!!  Melissa & me

We did some damage at the outlet mall!!

These were my purchases for Nora - girl clothes are so much fun!!

While the girls were at the lake, the boys had some fun of their own.  Jason took the boys to a class at the Zoo.  The subject was Safari so they made safari vests in the class.  They had a fun time!

After the class, they headed to Jack's soccer game.  It was the first week in a new league but they also received t-shirts because they got first place in the indoor league they had just completed at Vetta Sports.  Champions!

On Martin Luther King day, Jack was off school, so we went to Kokomo Joe's with our friends the Duckworths.  The kids had a lot of fun bouncing, mini bowling and playing glow in the dark putt putt.

We celebrated Grandma Lang's birthday with dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings:

At the end of the month, Charlie went to a birthday party at Bounce U for one of his school buddies...
