Happy Birthday to my Sweet Daughter! Who is 10..

For my sweet girl...I love you so much Teagan. The time has really gone by so fast, and I can't believe you are 10 years old! I really admire you, and I am so proud to be your mom..You bring nothing but joy to my heart, and I just love you to pieces..

Christmas Day

My mom also still fit into her dress..

Conley and I had to wake the kids up at about 8am. We were so surprised they wern't awake earlier! The kids both got Nintendo DS Lites, with 2 games each. As the day went on they added to their collection of games by my family.(Thanks) So I think now they have a ton of games, and are enjoying their DS's alot. THe only annoying thing is Cade gets so mad when he dies, he will just cry, and cry..He is doing better now, but is always asking me to help him..We are very lucky, and had a wonderful day. We had my mom come over, and we cooked my first Prime Rib, and it turned out rockin! I also wanted to brag that I fit into my mom's wedding dress!!! Anyone who knows my mom, knows she is a stick, so I had to take pictures of that! Thanks for everyone's thoughtful gifts, and treats. We appreciate your friendship!

Christmas..Eve

We had our friends over for Christmas eve. We decorated "chocolate chip" cookies because my sugar cookies did NOT turn out. So I went to the store and they only had chocolate chip 1s! SO we decorated those, and also some rice crispie treats. That night we went over to my dad's house, had dinner and exchanged gifts. It was a fun night!

12-23 Wednesday --Must see Alvin and Chipmunks..

This morning, even tho we woke up to snowy roads, I got the kids to the gym by 9, worked out, changed, took the kids to Target to get treats, and made it to the 10:45 show of Alvin and the Chipminks the Squeakle...Every seat was taken in the theater, but we got there early, so we didn't have to fight for a seat..The kids LOVED this movie, I think it's even funnier then the first 1. I would totally recommend this movie! Another note, Teagan has started her medication today, and so far I feel like I am getting my daughter back. She has been less emotional, very helpful, and very nice to Cade. Both of my kids have been telling all these strangers Merry Christmas where ever we go..They are good kids! Maybe the next week and half won't be too bad:)

Cade playing guitar, Cade Xmas party

Cade has been playing guitars a lot and dancing lately. I caught him doing this dance guitar things the other day, he is too funny. And of course Teagan has to be in the video too...She loves the spotlight! Also check out this pinata that Cade's class got to hit open! It was gigantic! Eventually I had to hold the pinata and his teacher had to sit there and wack the dang thing like 20 times to get it open! I was like please don't hit me... Teagan's school only has Christmas parties for like 15 minutes, so I was unable to attend her's since I have to pick Cade up at school. But she was with me Friday at Cade's school and loved helping all the kids, and she eventually found all her old friends and was hanging out with them! LOL Kids are officially out of school, my brother Steve comes tonight, and Brian tomorrow. We will have xmas eve dinner with my dad, and make up our own Christmas day..But whatever we do it's sure to be fun around here!

Coach Alycia...

I am going to be Teagan's basketball coach..We will see how this goes, since its 10-12 year old girls. I'm probably in over my head, but it will give me and Teagan some extra time together..

Sunday 12-13

We are doing good. We spent our week just going to school, working, and volunteering. The kids' last day of school is next Thursday, then they are out until January 3rd. Our move is currently on hold, so we are still at 10700 address, in case anyone wanted to know. I will update that when I hear more. So for now, I am trying to Christmas shop, I am doing Nintendo Ds lite's this year for the kids, and just a couple other things. I figure all the money I'd spend on toys that would be broken within a few weeks, or the kids would be bored with them the DS is a good investment. That is all Teagan asked for anyways..Cade is a different story his list was like 2 pages long, but he has since shortened it also to a DS and a GIJoe sword with the mask of snake eyes..I'm signing teagan up for basketball next week, and she will play with the 10-12 year olds! Nothing else more really is going on here, it has finally warmed up to the 40's. Our septic hasn't froze yet so thats a good thing. Roxy is doing well. She got sick this week, and puked in front of Conley while he was eating his dinner, and he was done after that. She also made a mess in her kennel one day, and I had to throw out all the bedding in it, but now she is all good! She listens well to me, and loves to protect me! She will bark if Conley yells at the tv, and I'm next to him, or if he wants to snuggle with me, Roxy barks too..She is a good puppy:) At least someone around here appreciates me:) Even if its a dog.
