Lazy Sundays

I used to hate Sundays when I was a kid. To me it meant that I couldn't go out and have fun. It's so different now that I've grown up. I love Sundays. I love how relaxed they are. I love that I can hang out with my family and not worry about work or school. I can devote my entire day to my family. 
 My sister Sheryll came over to hang out for a bit and Owen fell asleep on my bed watching his current favorite movie, Hotel Transylvania. He looked so peaceful that I couldn't help but take a picture of him in this state.
Tonight my sisters and their hubbys came over to watch The Walking Dead. It's pretty much tradition that they come over and watch it. I'm not really a fan, but I do love getting together with my family. After the show I saw that Celebrity Apprentice's season premier was on. Now that's a show I could get excited for! Sheryll and Russ stayed for that and just recently left. 
I love lazy Sundays. 

Life

Life has been passing by way too quickly.  My baby is growing up so fast and I just want everything to slow down.  Can we just hit the pause button and live in this moment for a while?     Every time I make the bed, Owen jumps on and messes it all up.  It's so frustrating, but so funny at the same time. It's the small things that I want to remember forever. 

Santa got Owen a bike for Christmas and we finally got to take it out a couple weeks ago. 

Owen thought it was so fun. 

He's been stuck inside our house just using it as a chair or a stepping stool. 

He finally got to see what the bike was all about. 

Matt helped him with the pedals. 

We didn't get to stay out for long, but that short amount of time in the freezing cold was way fun.

I think about family a lot. I don't know why but I feel that my life (even with all the imperfections) is perfect. I know that doesn't make sense. I don't know why I think this, but I feel that because I am so happy right now with everything that I have, something will be taken away from me. That sounds weird, but I think it's because I'm scared I can lose something I love so much.

I watched The Impossible with my sister the other day. The movie was based on a true story about a family vacationing in Thailand when the huge tsunami hit in 2004. It was basically about a family trying to survive and find each other. They didn't know if everyone else was dead, but they kept trying to stay alive. I cried throughout the entire movie. I thought about Owen the whole time. I definitely recommend seeing that movie.
