Christmas Morning

Merry Christmas, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas I know we did.

Christmas this year was on a Sunday so we got to go to Church in the morning, at 9.

So instead of waking up at the crack of dawn we woke up in time to get ready for Church, and took our every year pic of the kids on the stairs. I guess they were still a little sleepy.

 Santa covered all the presents so we could focus on the real meaning of Christmas. We were able to get ready for church with no complaining. Our ward had the most amazing sacrament meeting, we had all music, it was wonderful. Dylann and Danny both sang, Danny with all the men in the ward and Dylann with the primary. It was so wonderful to just think of Christ for the first half and not worry about the presents or Santa.

Then we were able to go home and change back into our pjs and open presents

 This year we did things a little different. We only got the kids 4 gifts each, with a good stocking. My kids get so many gifts form there grandparents that they just don't need to get a million form us. Plus last year we got them so many things but we got them cheap things so they all broke or were not played with. So we really wanted to get them just a few and a little nicer stuff.

Bruce got new unders in his stocking. We are going to try to potty train soon, wish me luck.

 Dylann got a new Rapunzel doll, which she loves!!

Christmas was so wonderful this year for us, we had so much fun spending time with family. Finally telling our families that we are having another baby, in July. Sykpeing with Dannys family, and just hanging out with each other.

December is a really long month in our house, Danny has to work about 60 hour weeks. It is just so busy at work that there is just not enough hours in the day to do it all. So we missed him a lot! It was just so nice to get 3 full days to hang out with him!!!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

I have been the worst blogger

I have not blogged about anything!! So I am just going to start right now.

We have this really cute elf, named Evie. She only comes after Thanksgiving and she leaves with Santa when he comes Christmas Eve. She will also leave if the kids are being bad. So my kids were pretty good for the month of Dec.

Well Evie was up to some pretty crazy tricks this year. She moved every night and the kids were so excited to go see what she did every morning. She did some really crazy things, but to spare you here is just a few of the fun things she did.

 Bruce just loved holding her.

 It was so much more fun this year having Evie do things instead of just hiding. The kids thought she was so funny playing with toilet paper, watching them sleep, turning the milk chocolate, playing with there toys, and many different things. 

Hooray to the New Year

Happy New Year

This is how we told our parents that we are having another baby!!!

sick little girl

Dylann has been so sick for over a week now.

That is the longest she has ever been sick. We finally took her to the dr. on Thursday.

She would not stop throwing up and we were getting really worried about her.

They put her on some anti nausea meds, which worked perfect. They said if she were to throw up one more time, we would have to take her back to be put on an IV drip. Thank goodness she didn't. She started to get a little better. Even eating for the first time in a week.

(like the throw up bucket?)

 Well Sunday morning we woke up to this.

 She had a horrible allergic reaction to the meds. By Sunday afternoon it looked like this

 Sorry for the bum shot

It only got worse, It was basically all over her body

There was more rash then there was skin.

We took her to urgent care on Sunday night, They put her on a different med to make it all go away.

Well we are on it now for 3 days and it is so much better.

The rash is almost all gone, it is mostly on her legs and arms now.

Now if she can only stop itching we will be set. 

New Beds/Crazy sleepers

We all got new beds!! Yea I know crazy right. Well let me tell you, it was so needed. Our mattress was so super old, we had a little help from family. Dylann was growing out of her bed and Bruce needed a big boy bed. So we took a drive down to Ikea, my favorite store, and got us a new bed frame that we have wanted for a couple of years. We LOVE it.

The first night this is what we found when we came up to go to bed.

 My in laws bought the kids new bed frames. Danny was so good and put all the beds together by himself.

with a little bit of help...

Dylann showing off her new bed, she loves it and can't wait to sleep in it every night. So Danny and I tease her and tell her we are sleeping in her bed. She just laughs and climbs up on us. My mom was so amazing and bought Dylanns mattress.

 This was the first night with both beds, and this is how we found both of the kids.

The next night Bruce figured out that he can get out of bed now and he can just waited for us at the top of the stairs and he fell asleep. It was really cute to find him like this.

The very next night he really wanted to be comfortable. So he brought out his blanket and frog.

A different night, Wow my kids really don't know how to sleep

After putting Bruce back into bed.

I am so grateful for my family, Thank you so much for all your help and for all your support. I am so glad that I get to spend all my time with my 2 crazy kids. Can't wait to see how they are sleeping tonight

Dylanns first day of preschool

Dylanns first day of preschool was Sept 12. She couldn't wait. She has been talking about preschool all summer and was so excited. I was really excited for her but deep down I was praying she would be happy and love it. I was worried that she was going to have a major freak out, or pee her pants, or hate it. Well she was totally fine.

They have this drop off line, they just come to the car and take your kid out and walk them to class. Danny came with us for the first day, Dylann got out of the car like it wasn't a big deal at all. She said by and walked right in. I started bawling the moment we starting driving. I made Danny take another drive by to make sure she made it in ok.

She was so happy, she asks if we can go to school every day. I am so glad she loves it. When I pick her up, I ask her what she did and the first thing she says is 'we didn't paint, we didn't go out side' they don't go out if its raining. But I guess she really wants to paint bc it is an everyday thing. She is to funny.

Love you Dylann I am so proud of you!!

Cosi

Over Labor day we went to Cosi, its this awesome science hands on museum, for kids. This is the first time we went and it was so worth it. We had so much fun. Dylann was running all over the place she couldn't wait to get to the next thing. Bruce was just in shock at everything.

We had so much fun. We will have to go back.
