miles logged

Over 169 days in 2014 I logged 686.52 miles by walking or running. I think I can beat that in 2015.

December

This is December according to my phone....

St. Nick came to visit

Santa Claus came down our street on a fire truck

We went to taco bell more than once...and this is just funny.

We went to see a live Nativity. It was beautiful!

We made our traditional tamales with some of our favorite people.

My Dad was going through some old pictures and sent this one to me. This pic holds lots of memories for me. :)

 We went to Missouri for Christmas. The Grand kids decorated Sugar cookies.

All the Martin grand kids together

Christmas morning

This years storybook basket

It snowed!

The trip home

                            

Braeden in deep thought reading his Spanish Verbs book...that he asked for and got for Christmas.

I was so sad that I forgot my good camera when we went to Missouri so my Christmas pictures stink. Ugh. We also celebrated Joshua's 14th birthday this month but I totally failed as a mom and didn't get any pictures. He doesn't care.....I totally do. 

we are not photographers

We attempted to take family pictures today. It went surprisingly well knowing how family picture days usually go. We took our tripod and set up the shots ourselves....and we came to the conclusion that we definitely are not photographers.

I can't keep up

I cannot seem to keep up with my blog. We are super busy and this is what drops to the bottom of the list...actually it's not even on the list. I need to be better. Anyway, this is November according to my phone. (Hence the terrible pictures)

Braeden finally received his class ranking after asking for it for over a year.  He is 18 out of 359. I am one proud mama.

Kate just chillin' with some Cheez-it's and her Kindle

I went running one day in 30 something degree weather and I was still sweaty.

We went to Ikea and ate some ginormous cinnamon rolls.

This kid had 2

I repainted the living room. It went from brown to "brandied pear" or white, like my kids like to call it and I accented with slate blue. I LOVE it. It feels so clean and crisp.

I took the kids to see Mocking Jay. Loved it!

Kate got a new dress for church

We went to Austin for Thanksgiving

Most of the Jones cousins minus 4...I think.

And that was pretty much November in a nutshell. At least the parts I documented. :)
