T'was the Night Before Christmas

T'was the night before Christmas, when all through the house
The only creatures stirring was mommy and daddy, and the cat
The stockings were hung on the bookcase with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
Kaylee is nestled all snug in her bed,
...While visions of sugar-plums dances in her head


And before she was all snuggled in bed..a treat for Santa handled with care!

Winter Wonderland Fun

Saturday and Sunday we went sledding! Saturday start off with Kaylee just wanting to go do with one of us which was a blast! That first big ol smile on her face was awesome, she loved it! We slowly worked her up to go down a small hill by herself, she was a little scared but by the end was smiling. She still wanted us to go with her though! hehehe So after about an hour we moved hills and found this ramp snow covered. Once Kaylee saw it she said I can do that all by myself and she did OVER and OVER! It just warmed my heart to see her so proud of herself and confident for doing all by herself! She would yell woohoo going down, laugh and smile so huge!

Sunday we went back again and Jolie came with us! Kaylee went right to her spot and off she went. Sledding is pretty darn fun and it just feels so good to laugh so hard. We all had so much fun and both days sled for about 2hrs! I'm sure we'll be going a lot more!

Our Furbabies

We can't forget our love for our pets! So I thought I'd show a picture of each one!

Max our first pup we got right before christmas in 2001! We love our little old man. He has his grumpy times ya know since he is the senior but he's a great dog with lots of pup in him 9yrs later! He has a hug obsession with balls and if he can't find a ball he'll grap about anything for us to throw!



Emit the second furbaby came to us in 2003! We are pretty sure he will NEVER act like a senior pup...he will be energetic puppy forever! hahaha He has always been rotten and beyond lovey, he thrives for attention and will do about anything to get it! He thinks he is a 10lb lap dog but really he's 90lb! hahaha



Emma was last years christmas gift for Kaylee. We never thought we'd have a cat, in fact we really weren't people.....then Kaylee fell in love with kittens and came Emma! I LOVE this cat and we love snuggleing! She is quite the funny lil thing, she plays will everything, her and Emit are buddies and love playing together! She even spreads out like the dogs, I think sometimes she thinks she's a canine! hahaha


These animals are such a big part of our family and we love them so dearly!

Our little lamb Christmas Program 2010

Lastnight was Kaylee's preschool christmas program and boy was it cute and precious! We have been looking forward to this all year! We didn't think she would make it due to being sick but she did! She wasn't a hundred percent but she did good for not feeling the best!



She was a little lamb this year and wow was it cute! All the kids looked beyond cute and ALLL did so well. Kaylee said she was too shy to sing in front of everyone but would sing at home for us! hahaha Its super cute to hear her sing her music, she's been practicing for a while now! Sadly we could see her real well so I didn't get alot of pictures but its ok I just love these little programs! I look foward to many more!

Sick little princess

Wednesday just before bedtime it hit her..the flu....our poor baby girl! She was getting ready to potty and just said "mommy I gotta pukey" and here it came! Its just awful to see her get sick and feel so bad! So she made it through the night pukey free and got a goods night sleep! We were so relieved we thought whew just an upset tummy! She had her milk did good with it and hour passed and I gave her her medicine for her cough and some lemonade....well that did it! Shortly after she started puking again! :( I was so sad for one she was sick and two thursday was preschool and practice for her cute lil program that was that TONIGHT!
So after a couple hours she said she felt a little better and even ate a bit. She was ok with going to school as long as mommy went with her so off we went! However we only made it at school about an hour before she just wasn't feeling good and was so emotional. We left went to Marsh for some sprite and push pops(her request)! Poor gal puked in Marsh and all over herself! I felt so bad for her, she even told me sorry for puking...I promised her it was not her fault and mommy was sorry she felt so icky! So off to home we went! Daddy came home early to be with her and help while I took care of Devyn and Caleb! She napped 4hrs and a little better and even was able to keep down crackers and sprite! She said she was ok so we went ahead and went to her christmas program at school. After her program however when we got home the poor baby got sick again, thankfully though after a bathe and a good nights sleep she was better. So I guess it was the 24hr flu....we are just so glad it didn't last long and she is better now! She is such a trooper when she is sick and honestly takes it so much better than us adults would! :)

She's trying so hard to feel better, look at that cute smile

Look at this precious girl!

O Christmas Tree

The tree is up and looking pretty! Our first christmas in our new house and it looks so christmasy...I LOVE it ! We had a fun time and Kaylee did a wonderful job decorating!



A little holiday dance! haha



A Star is Born

Dear Santa,

Dear Santa look at this beautiful little girl...........this is all I ever wanted for Christmas! Love April



Kaylee is really into Santa this year, its so cute! She saw Santa's house a few weeks ago uptown and just couldn't wait to see him! Then at the mall a week or so later she saw Santa and O goodness the smile and sparkle in her was amazing! She just yelled Hi Santa, Hi over and over! So a today she got to see on Santa's lap finally! She ran up to him, gave him a HUGE hug, blobbed down on lap with a HUGE smile and said "I'd like a doctor kit" then smile for a perfect picture!
