back to blogging

after reading some friends' blogs, i've gotten re-inspired to get back to blogging. admittedly, i've just been lazy. but no more - i'm back to blogging.

where to start...apparently i can go back & set a set & time, so let's try that...i left off in january - so i'll pick up in february

not to confuse anyone - today's date is April 26 - but i will post this one in january & try to get a couple posts per month done until we're caught up...here we go!!

vacation guests

we were lucky enough to celebrate the holidays & share our vacation with some great friends. 
the vingo's were able to join us in florida for part of our 2 week stay - which was fun for everyone! jon & bre have 2 little ones - evan just about 2 1/2 & reese almost 8 months. bre is a friend of mine from college & her hubby jon & tommy get along a little too well (just kidding), let's just say it's probably a good thing we don't live too close - they have way too much fun together :) 

while they were here - we got to do lots of fun things...
