Warmin Up

I was so happy today with the weather, it actually got up to 36, sunny and nice! We got our tree down and re-arranged the living room. We are going to move the computer out there so we totally have to re-do it. Anyone that has seen my living room knows what a feat this is to re-arrange.

Yesterday we took Kris to the bus station in Ephrata where she went home =( I cured that by going to Wal Mart and spending money on Christmas stuff for next year. Got some good deals! I had my cousin Mariah come over and watch the 3 boys while Don and I met Adam and Karen for dinner at Incas. It was yummy as usual! The boys love it when Mariah babysits, shes really good with them!

Today, Don worked and we did laundry, dishes and made cookies, thats the last of them for a while, we are cookied out! Well, I am going to go brush some boys' teeth and get them ready for bed so it can just be me and my sweetie!! Have a great night!!

Christmas is over!

Monas new bone!

I am so glad about that. I love the holiday, but always have a nice sigh after its over! Our Christmas was wonderful! The boys woke up around 6:45 and waited patiently for everyone to get up. They were so excited to start ripping into their gifts. We saved the big one for last (Wii). So we told the boys we got them a together gift, Patrick pipes up and says "its a Wii", well they opened it and it was the board game Clue. The disapointment on his face was perfect! Then we handed them the Wii and told them to open it, I think Patrick wet himself he was so excited! It was great!! I got a digital picture frame, cant wait to set it up and put all my pictures on it! The boys got me a massager to put on my chair or seat of my car, its really nice, even has heat! We then went over to my moms for dinner, well we didnt eat until 6pm, Kris and the two older boys went to see Marley and Me. They liked it, but dont think they want to see it again. We had fett alfredo, YUM-O it was so good!!

My friend Kim has guardian of her newborn grandson, she has only EVER had girls, so she had no clothes, so of course we had to go out to good will and get her a bunch of stuff, and to walmart to get her even more stuff! Thanks to my Momma, who helped get stuff too! What would I do without her?? So I cant wait to see little Brandon and hold him, he isnt even a week old!!

Well were taking Kris to the bus station in the morning, then taking down all our Christmas stuff. Thank goodness, get it out of here!

Thats about it for now! Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!

Buy a Chevy Part 2

Ok, so Dons truck broke down on the way to work this morning. It ended up being the computer for the fuel thinger. So $1100.00 DOLLARS LATER! I swear, that damn Ford makes my head hurt!

We have been getting snow all day, and I mean all day long, since before I left for work at 7:10am. Got to walmart and got all the stocking stuffers and so were all the way set for Christmas!

We are suppose to get a big storm tomorrow, its actually suppose to warm up to 21. I know that doesn't seem warm to you all, but for us its a heat wave! I dont work until 12 noon tomorrow, so that will be nice to sleep in!

Well thats all for right now, I have to go kiss all our money goodbye lol!

Snow, Christmas and big boy beds

So we went to the West side to have Christmas at my dad and joyces. It was alot of fun, but as soon as the snow started everyone wanted to open gifts and get out of there, so it went fast. The boys got lots of cool toys and video games. We were planning on leaving Sunday but the pass was closed for a while, then the snow just came down, so we stayed another night. We met Dewey and Karen at McDonalds in Poulsbo for lunch and so they could give the boys' their gifts, which they all loved. We picked up Kris this morning and headed out. The roads were really good, they were better in the pass then in Odessa, go figure. We finally made it home, unpacked and watched WWE. Don put together Jareds big boy car bed, which he loves, almost as much as Josh does. Well we both have to work tomorrow. Then I have got to go get the rest of the stocking stuff before Christmas!

Snow snow go away

I'm about done with this snow! Its cold, wet and a bothersome! We are really wanting to come over, but if its bad then we cant and I will cry =(

The boys had their performance tonight, so cute! Santa came and gave each of the kids goodie bags, they liked that. Today I have just been doing TONS of laundry to get ready for this weekend, now hopefully it will happen, got everything wrapped and ready to go. Pray we can come!

Went to the Orthodontist yesterday. We are waiting another 6 months before we do braces on Parker, he was happy about that. But it will be soon. I've tried to imagine him with straight teeth, and its just not my Parker, but either way he will be so handsome!!

Just wanted to post a couple pics of the concert!!

Buy a Chevy!

Ok, so last night I was making dinner, I had already talked with Don a few times b/c his truck wouldn't start. So finally about 5:30 he asks me to come get him. So dinner goes off, load up the boys and head to Warden, where there is NO snow at all and the roads are fine! They suck, anyway, so we sit there forever he jumps his truck with MY CHEVY VAN and it starts! Aaahh the gloating starts! It was so cold that his truck wouldn't start, so he is plugging it in at work now so he doesn't have this problem again. But of course he did have to take us out for dinner!

Today when I left for work it was -4, yes that would be NEGATIVE FOUR! It was pretty damn cold outside today, its up to 10 now, which is good cause I have to get the boys early and head to Ephrata for dentist appt, hair appt and shopping. We leave in 3 days and I'm really excited to start our christmas!

Ok, well I'm on the hunt for a cute basket so gotta jet!!

11 More days!

I am so excited for Christmas this year! I just cant wait to see the boys' open their gifts. We are having the boys' grandma over for Christmas again this year. They asked us and we said yes, which really helps me out b/c i will be working so I will take the two little ones with me and she will stay with the bigger ones and play games and all that fun stuff. Of course its weather permitting. Don didn't work yesterday so we did a whole lotta nothin! We actually played games downstairs and totally cleaned downstairs. Then we rented WWE Armagedon and watched it with pizza and pop. It rocked! Loved it!! Today it was 10 on my way to work, the older two came with me b/c they were 2 hours late. I got to work and shoveled the sidewalks and put down the stuff so no one falls. It was a quiet morning, not a lot of people wanting to go out in it, not that I blame them, with the wind chill it was -14, a little too cold for me! Tomorrow Josh and I have dentist appt and Jared is getting his hair cut. Thats about it on our homefront. Oh some good news is I found Jareds baby book, its been missing for a year, but I found it! YAYAYAYAYAY!!! I am so relieved and happy!!

Sugar High!

So today was our Christmas cookie/ornament party! It was so much fun!! We all brought home about 12 dozen cookies, boy is Dons work going to love him on monday! There was 15 ladies there, which was a perfect amount.

The snow started really coming down yesterday, but then it stopped. I heard the snow plows outside this early am and sure enough it was snowing so hard and so darn cold. I cant tell if its snowing or just the wind, but the wind is horrible! While I was at the party, Don took all the boys into Moses to get snow boots/pants and my christmas gift. Now I need to get some snow boots. Don said he would of gotten me some if he knew I needed them, I said I dont think so, I will pick them out myself, he said as long as they are warm and work who cares if they are ugly...I DO! lol! Men! They tried to put up the lights outside, but Jared wasn't having that. The moose kept blowing over so they had to deflate him.

Don is off tomorrow as well! Yay! I'm so excited to have him for a whole weekend! Were probably going to go to church and then Natalies birthday party at 2pm. Then just laze around until the Survivor Finale. I'm pretty sad that its going to be over!

Well I am going to do some laundry so we can find our bed to sleep in it lol!! Stay warm and safe!

Our tree is up!

Finally, we decorated our tree, well the boys did, so from the middle down its full lol! Friday we went shopping in Spokane. We had SOO much fun. We met Dons sister Sheena and her boyfriend at Chilies and had dinner, was so good. Then we hit the mall. We stayed in a beautiful hotel and then woke up and started our major shopping, which most of it was at toys r us. We are DONE except for some stocking stuff. We had lunch with Dons mom and step dad. It was nice to visit with his mom. We also picked up our beef. We got $175.00 worth of free beef, so I would say were set for a while, we have beef and a half of a pig now, good thing we have a big stand up freezer. We did get a real christmas tree this year, it smells so yummy!! Don has been battling this cold, so far he isnt winning. The big cookie/ornament party is Saturday. I'm really excited for it! Still dont know what I'm making yet, better figure that one out. They say we are suppose to get snow today, not sure if its going to happen, but it means its coming soon =(
