We will be gone for a few days!

Don't miss us to much. We are leaving tomorrow and going to visit my brother for New Years. I am excited to spend a few days with my niece and nephew (oh and brother and sister in law too. haha).

Everyone please have a fun and safe New Years. No drinking and driving please!

2008!

So every year I do a photo album of the year before. I am starting my 2008 book and I am amazed of how many changes I have had this year:

• I moved
• Got a new Car
• Got laid off and a new job in the same week

but the thing I notice more then anything is how much my kids have grown in this short year. I am pretty sad about this. I wish they would just stay small forever. Jaden promised me when he was 3 that he wouldn't get bigger..................hey what happened to keeping promises. My oldest baby is no longer a baby at all. He is actually maturing (with attitude and all) more each day. My middle baby grew so much this year. I am not sure of the exact inches (bad mommy) but I do know last year at this time he was just fitting in a 3T and now he is almost out of toddler clothes all together. Today he wore 5 in big boys! My youngest baby is now in the process of being potty training and is talking more each day.....as we speak (or write I should say), she is bugging for me to lay with her and watch the puppy movie..........so I will go now since I know one day she will be kicking me out of the room and not wanting me to watch a movie with her.

I will be sure to show you all my finished album when its done!

Merry Christmas

This Christmas was a awesome Christmas. The kids had a magical day and it was amazing to see them so excited. I just put them to bed and Jaden said "This was the best Christmas ever". The other two said the same (they always repeat Jaden. hahaha). Here are a few pics.

Christmas Eve!

My Tree Huggers! The Fam Bam! My Bro's Fam Bam Grandma's girls! Santa came to our houseChristmas day!

I passed

I was so nervous I wouldn't pass my life license test today and I did. I memorized the definitions long enough to pass and I don't want to ever see them again. haha GOOOOOOOOO me. Off to get the kids dressed!

A few winter pics

I have been busy with finals and studying for my Life insurance test (which is tomorrow), but I wanted to share a few new pictures. After tomorrow (when I pass my test), I am not opening a book (unless its a gossip magazine) for a month. I am tired of reading, I am tired of studying and I am tired of TEST.
Oh yeah here is the pics.

SANTA.............I KNOW HIM

Sienna hates Santa and even told him from a far......"I don't want toys". She covers her eyes when she sees him.

Alec is unsure but thinks it is cool he can tell him what he wants. He kinda freezes and can't really think of anything to tell him though.

Jaden thinks he is way to cool for Santa but totally believes in him so I am not sure what his problem is. Unless he doesn't believe and is tricking me. But I am pretty sure he would tell me (hey its not like I can ask)

Here is a few Santa pics (notice who is missing)

I am alive!

Just really really busy. Tomorrow I will update with my life and new pictures of the family.

Look who is turning two!

Mrs. Olivia!

We had her party at my house this weekend. She looked so cute and had so much fun. She is sure growing up fast. Angela and I were talking how we have two of the most diva princess little girls. They both will never have a problem with self esteem because both say they are "pretty" often. hahaha I can see our teenage years now.

Cosuins

Thought this was a cool pic

Auntie and Liv!

She was so funny blowing out her candle's. Brannon kept lighting them and she kept blowing them out before we even started to sing. It was awesome!

I hope you dance.

I was reminded of this song as a result of a project I am doing and it reminded me of how much I love it. I already wrote the lyrics in Jaden's baby book and decieded to do the same for Sienna and Alec (and added pictures of them by the ocean)

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder

You get your fill to eatBut always keep that hunger

May you never take one single breath for granted

God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small

When you stand beside the ocean

Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens

Promise me that you'll give fate a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance

I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance

Never settle for the path of least resistance

Living might mean taking chances

But they're worth taking

Lovin' might be a mistake

But it's worth making

Don't let some hell bent heartLeave you bitter

When you come close to selling outReconsider

Give the heavens above

More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance

Time is a wheel in constant motion always

Rolling us along

I hope you dance

Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder

Where those years have gone

I hope you still feel small

When you stand beside the ocean

Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens

Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or danceDance

I hope you dance

OK

Ok so I know I have been slacking a bit on blogging........what can I say, I am busy.
Alec is now given up naps so he is "pleasant" at night and its a battle to try and get him to settle down. Most kids settle down as they get tired but he is not "most kids". He runs around, yells and acts crazy and then eventually after getting yelled at and 15 time outs, falls asleep. Its a fun night......................not.
Sienna is a bugger. Just out to so anything and everything that will bug someone. She loves to annoy her brother (and me).
Jaden is my angel baby but he sure does know how to ask for something at the wrong time and stir up some stuff. Like tonight he asked for cake when he was done with dinner. The little ones immediately stopped eating and bugged for cake. UHHHHHHHHHHHHH JADEN
Ok now that I just bitched about my kids let me just say I love everything about them, yes even their evil ways. They are strong individuals with strong personalities. hahaha Ok I have to justify their behavior some how. hahahaha

I love them!

It's calm

Today is a calm day, no barfing kids, no shopping, no cooking or cleaning. It's just me and my co- workers sitting in a Christmas decorated office, listing to Christmas music. My boss brought me coffee and it was ohhhhhhhhhhh so yummy. My shopping in 65% done and I am excited about that. The rest will be done online to avoid the crowded stores. I am sticking to a budget this year for Christmas and so far I am doing great! I am happy with all my purchases so far.
Christmas pictures were ummmmmmmmmmmmmm ok. Sienna wouldn't cooperate but that is given as she is two (ok trying to make myself feel better). I am curious to see how they turn out. I should get them back this week. We shall see.
Our house is all decorated for Christmas and we got our tree. we put up Icicle lights outside. Christmas is fun (besides all the money spent)

So this post turned into Christmas. haha I guess I am excited
