I haven't blogged in so long that as it is the last 8 post were quite the accomplishment but there's some really cute pics and a few little things that I want to throw in here... So there's going to be some pics of the boys in their little suites, I'm really enjoying having my two boys, as much as I would love to have a little girl to put in dress, I'm equally enjoying the fun suite and ties. Then I've been making tie blankets, Steph did one and she told me how to do it so it's become my newest crafty thing, it takes an hour to throw one of those together compared to the months it takes me to knit or crochet one so I've been enjoying making those, I've done about 10 now, I wish I would've taken pictures of all of them but they'll be few here too. Also we had to give our second dog Henry back the shelter, that was kind of sad, but he was just WAY to high maintenance, he destroyed are yard, chewed everything, got out and killed our neighbors chicken (that was the straw that broke this camels back) so we had to give him back. Also I've had pink eye, now that is fun! HA! No it has been absolutely miserable, I wouldn't wish this on anyone my eyes have been oozy , swollen, itchy, neon red and ugly as all get out. And then on top of it I had a virus (hence the pin eye) that also gave me a sore throat that looks and acts like strep but had no treatment and I tell ya there were a few nights that hurt so bad it brought me to tears. It's been really icky but I think its all better now but boy oh boy i hope that was a once in a lifetime thing. And last little random tidbit, usually by now we are buried in snow but this year I haven't seen more than a flake or two and that was months ago, I love the winter and snow but I must admit has been nice, we've gone to the park and been playing outside everyday so there's a few pics of that too. Enjoy...
Christmas day was a very nice day, Ed and I stayed up kind of late getting the toys ready and watched It's a Wonderful life, but I didn't want to miss the kids walking out to their Fire station so I turned the monitor up as loud as it could go and as soon as we heard them stirring we jumped out of bed and beat them to living room by seconds ;) They were super excited over the fun things they got! Then we pretty much spent the day just lounging around, my dad and brother came over for a little bit and played with the boys and we did a Facetime Chat with mom and dad who were in Colorado, then we cleaned up and got ready for a very special treat...
We got to spend Christmas night with Jeremy, Steph and Addison! It was so nice, we exchanged all the stuff we had for each other and had dinner and just got to spend some time together before all their company started to come in. It was definitely a Christmas to remember!
Alright, then my dear sweet friend Diane whom we met through church and have become really close with, she was going to the bay area for 3 weeks to spend Christmas with her son and daughter-in-law so I wanted to have her over for dinner before she left. This was Dec. 20, the same night steph went into labor. So she came over and had dinner with us and then helped us do a little gingerbread house. We had a very nice visit with her which was good because the 3 weeks she was gone seemed like forever!
These pics are from Christmas Eve. We were able to get together with my side of the family and do our Christmas on Christmas eve. My uncle cooked a very fabulous lunch and then we did the gifts and watched a movie and had hot chocolate, it was a really great day we had so much fun!
The same weekend as mom's Birthday, Neil and Cassie and their family came up for a visit. It was really nice to see those guys, it had been like a year and half since we had last seen them. We had dinner over at Nate and Jen's one night and then had a lunch and pottery painting day too that was really fun. The kids all looked so much older and are changing by the minute so I'm glad we got to see them!
