Jade's Life: Welcome 2021

Cheers to a new year! I think we are all hoping for some light after what feels like a never ending dark tunnel. Let's start celebrating with some ice cream! Bruce is all about it!

Our new year started out with a bit of a bang, or crash. Sadly, I got rear ended. It looks a lot worse than it felt. A teenage girl ran into us with her truck (that had no real noticeable damage). The poor girl had tears running down her face, she felt so bad. Turns out I know her mom, and everything and everyone really were okay. The van however, was considered totaled so we had to buy a new one. We didn't look long, and just picked out the same car just slightly newer. All things considered, it wasn't any big deal and we all just feel grateful to be able to walk away and go about our lives pretty normally. Also grateful for insurance companies and how they help to make a bad situation as pleasant as possible.

Now for something fun! I get pretty bored with my own hair a lot. The burden of being a hairdresser I suppose. I personally bleached out some streaks and applied a bright red color. It sorta leaked red all over my hair but I didn't mind. I'm the easiest going person when it comes to color and probably a brat when it comes to my cut. No one has ever said that to me, but I know who I am. You're only picky if you've had a bad experience before. So, what do you think? Hot fun!

We are still loving on our cat. I thought it was funny how he took a nap on our patio furniture this day.

Happy Valentine's Day! John and I are still avoiding restaurants for now so we did a kid swap with the neighbors just for stay at home alone date night. Neither of us really care about V-day but I do love the chance to celebrate anything fun and also get some honey time to ourselves. I did spend the day before with some girlfriends for Galentine's Day. (if you don't know what that is, go watch Parks and Recreation.) The kids and I also made and frosted sugar cookies. Are you surprised? Yeah, didn't think so. Oh also, Bruce is trying out his big boy bike! Time for a helmet.

What are you doing to help stop Covid? Well, I got vaccinated (amongst continual practice of other health and safety measures)! I had a great experience with minimal side effects. It is such a relief to feel like life can start getting back to normal. I know this is a very controversy subject and I don't mean to stir up anything. I'm just happy there is modern science and medicine. It's a great time to be alive!

Easter time! What, more frosted sugar cookies? It's not like it's my favorite or anything...

Egg hunt time and presents! The boys got Ninja Bots. Fighting robots basically. They are super awesome and the kids played with them and nothing else for almost a week straight! Sorry I didn't get a picture..

EZ looks so cute when he does anything to his hair. In the picture above, he had just taken a bath and the hair was a bit fluffy but also wet. I had to get a picture to show him because he doesn't believe me that he should let me style his hair! Someday... I guess we don't need girlies chasing after him just yet.

So Bruce and I took a lot of fun selfies and here's some of our faves.
