5 on Friday!

Here it is the first 5 on Friday of the new year! Here is a bunch of random stuff we are doing and enjoying right now!

1. Big Boy Bed!! We made the switch the day after Christmas! He never made an attempt to climb out but i figured it was only a matter of time and we wanted to make the switch and be proactive before it got bad and we had to rush into it. We talked about a Big Boy Bed for the weeks leading up, some of his other friends already made the switch so he kinda knew what we were talking about. We decided to buy the accessory to make our existing crib into a bed and we got a great deal on a foam mattress on black Friday weekend! (Foam makes it harder for jumping and no wires or springs to break) The plus of using his crib is that it can only be made into a Full size bed. So this bed should hopefully last him for years! He has so much room to grow and keep his little stuffed animals in the bed and not bother him.  He has been GREAT with it! The first time we tried to nap in it he was playing around, turning on lights, checking the door. I came in and firmly told him he was not allowed to do it. He knew he was in trouble and his eyes instantly started to water. We went back in his bed and we said many times how "we don't get out".  Now whenever we talk about his bed he will sing "we dooonnntt get ooooouuutt".  And he doesn't! Every morning or after nap when i go in he will ask "Mommy Happy?" cause i told him that to make mommy happy he needs to take good sleeps and not get out! :-)

First night!

2. 2014 Goals: We have some things we want to focus on this year so here they are so i can be hold accountable :-).  

• Drink More Water
• Try to go on Date Nights (just me and Brian or with another couple,,,, just no kids!)
• Keep up with and make photo albums (i finished the Bermuda cruise album this week!)
• Walk Kona more
• Meal Plan and cook 3/4 times a week (other nights are leftovers or order out 1night a week)
• Keep up with blogging so i have stuff to look back on :-)
• De-clutter (we already have 6 bags of clothes from mine and Brian's closet ready to be picked up!)
• Attempt to get back into running and try some 5K's this year!
• Travel: Make experiences for our family!  Doesn't have to be big long vacations. weekends away, new day trips and activities! Some things on my mind:  Hershey Park, Niagara Falls, Baltimore, Key West, Renault Winery (for Brian and i getaway), 
• 
  

3. Netflix - we have been loving netflix lately… specifically Scandal! I don't know why it took so long for me to watch this!  Now i am trying to find where i can get the beginning of season 3 so i can catch up! (On Demand starts at like episode 6 of season 3 and i don't want to pay for each episode thru amazon yet).  We also got a Roku for Christmas and i am in the process of cutting our cable way down. Its silly to keep HBO when i only want to watch Game of Thrones right? Plus it doesn't even start again till april!
