Getting Back into the Swing of Things

Blog world: 
I hope everyone had wonderful Holidays! We surely did. Last I wrote, the kiddos were preparing for Christmas. We visited Santa, much to Avery's dismay and started decorating our house. 

Santa was good to the kids this year. *Even though we all know he was a little too nice ;) Hunter got his first rifle- yes a real one. And he's learning all safety precautions and all the fancy things about a gun. Cody has been a good, patient teacher and he's loved shooting it himself too. Avery is on Barbie and baby doll overload! She gives them baths, does their hair, feeds them, sleeps with them... they go everywhere!


 Cody and I got to drive up to Norman for a day/night and get some good old fashioned alone time (without kids). We don't get that kind of time hardly ever so it was very nice to get to go and be adults. We treated ourselves to a gourmet Olive Garden meal (yes, that's gourmet for us haha) complete with adult drinks and dessert, we went shopping without chasing after kids or hearing, "Mama, my feet hurt. Can you carry me?" or "Mama, I want that!", and we saw a movie. Had a great time! 

January means back to school for this mama. I went yesterday and bought my books and I start school on Thursday. Even though it's my second semester, I'm kind of anxious. I hate the whole "Let's get to know each other" on the first days of school. I'd much rather get to the learning part. I'm a dork, I know. 

We started eating healthier and working out as our little resolution. It's a lot easier when Cody is doing it with me instead of me suffering while he indulged on the good stuff like last year. We are going to stick to it, as hard as it gets, because we want to get healthier and back into shape. 

Well, that's all the updates in the Baetz household for today. Hope everyone is sticking to their resolutions! Have a good few weeks. Chat with y'all later!
