Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas for the most part. I hope of you all did too. Mia and Owen got some much stuff. I just don't know what to do with all of it. And Owen birthday is right around the corner. I can't beleive it.
Here is Owen playing with some toys from Christmas Eve. We were at my grandmas that night. It was so nice to see all my family it seems we don't get together enough with most of the family out of town. Owen really did unwrap anything it seemed he just could not get the hang of it.

Here are the kids with their Santa gifts. Mia asked for a globe. I am so impressed. I asked Santa for a house toy for Owen. We woke the kids up and Owen was still half asleep here. We caught him trying to sleep on a truck.

Sad News

I recived a call tonight from my sister with some sad news. My step-mom Su will be leaving us shortly. We found out about 2 years ago she had stage 3 cevical cancer. She has tried to fight and always stayed postive. She was not feeling well this weekend so my dad(who is in the Army) took her to the doctor. Her kindeys are shutting down. We knew this day was coming but didn't think it would happen so fast. We found it the cancer was in her bones a couple of months ago was told she had 6 months to live. I have heard that same story before and he lived for 3 years. She truly beleived that she would be around for a while, and I did too. I just don't know what to say. I have only met her once but talked on the phone so much, so I felt as I knew her. I love her because she loves my dad, who means so much to me. She has made him happy, even if it was for a short time. So I ask tonight for some prayers from my friends and family, we know the end is coming near I ask for a she will not suffer. She does not deserve to suffer she is a great women. Thanks.

Merry Christmas

Christma Pictures, Gingerbread Houses and Bath Time

Every year me and my sister take our kids to get their pictures taken. This year being no different. This year we got some really good pictures. I know most of you all have seen these pictures but I had to post them since they are so cute.



Dog pile. I wish we could have got Owen on top of this.


These are my wonderful, beautiful nieces. Audrey is 7 and Natalee is 5.(six weeks older then Mia)


This is my favorite picture. Owen is always sitting on Mia and always after her hair. But she always lets him pull it. So for me this is a everyday thing.


They love each other so much.



Mia is always trying to pose for a picture.


Owen is getting so big.


This picture shows his personality. Trying to get in to something. Just look at that smile you know he is about to do something wrong. He always gets that look right before he goes after the Christmas tree or after Coopers binky.

So every year for the last 3 years Mia and I have built a Gingerbread house. This year she was a lot more involved. I only really did the icing. But the catch was it had to look like the picture. We are not even close. But I don't think is was her fault.

What do you think? It was good but not picture perfect. But I would never tell her otherwise.

She is so proud of her house.


Bath time at our house is never quick. Mia and Owen always have to play. Owen loves the water. He can't get enough of it. We discovered that this summer. So the kids love playing together. Mia usually end up mad because Owen has moved to her end of the tub.


Here they are having fun again. In 10 years when they are screaming "I hate you" to each other I can look back and remember a different time.

Not much going on otherwise. Derek is leaving for Hood River, Oregon tomorrow. Leaving me to deal with ice lucking me.

Here comes Santa Clause, Here comes Santa Clause. Right down Santa Clause Lane

Here is a video I got tonight of the little guy. Yes he is only in a diaper and wearing a Santa hat. I really know how to dress my kids. He was kind of crying at first but he loves walking around with his hippo. He has started to wave hi to everyone. When I get him up in the mornings that is how he says hi.

11 Months old already

My little sweet guy is already 11 months old already. I can't beleive it. This year has gone way to fast. Owen is so much fun right now. He is every where. He is also pulling up on everything. He has also started to push things around. It doesn't matter if it is a toy or a laundry basket. He stands up and pushes it.

Here is Owen getting into the tree. He loves the lights.

Here is Owens 11 month picture.
Really not much else going on around her. Staying busy with cleaning and getting ready for Christmas. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving my was wonderful.

I will try to post the new video soon.
