Update

Well, it's been a few days so I figured it was time to post something. I don't really have any new pics or anything, we've been busy getting ready for Christmas. We got all of our shopping for the kids done. I just have to get a few more stocking stuffers and wrapping paper. And I have to get something for Asher and Brayden still, but thats it! Blake had a Dr's appointment Tuesday. He was such a big boy!! He got three shots and blood taken and didn't even cry. Although, he told me he never wants to do that again, poor kid! He weighs 38 pounds and the Dr told me he is going to be around 5'11. We took Brayden with us to playgym yesterday. I should've brough my camera, they had so much fun! I will try to get some new pics up soon :)

Snow!!!

Last night we went to the tree lighting in town. I thought it was at 6 but it was 6:30 and they didn't light it until after 7 so we stood there and froze forever while the kids whined and complained. Fun. haha. I brought Bella though and she was very behaved. She sat happily while all the kids patted her. We woke up this morning to snow on the ground and of course the kids just HAD to go out. Daddy let them out in their pjs but they had a ton of fun making foot prints and catching the flakes on their tounges :) too cute!!

more dance pics...

We went to dance class early today to try to get some good pictures of Rylee. She was kinda distracted but they're pretty cute. The first one was before we left...



We had a pretty good day today. Kinda mellow mostly. Rylee had dance and then we went next door because it's Auntie's birthday. Brendon had to go help the guys with deer stuff so me and the kids went out to dinner with the Morins and had a good time :) Then we came and had some drinks, tried to convince Auntie not to move...that didn't work I dont think :( Now it's almost midnight so I'm gonna get to bed!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today's photo of the day goes to Pete, Beautiful & Sophie. Geli was here last night and pointed them out...we all thought it was too funny! They were watching Bella outside. It's so cute how they do pretty much everything together. Like a cute little family of kitties. Haha, I love them :)

Today is Brendon's 29th birthday. We didn't do a lot but he went hunting and the kids and I made him dinner and cake. I didn't realize I needed an electric mixer so my arm got a crazy work out! Next year is the big 3-0 and probably a party. I had to go pick up Liam's ashes this afternoon. I thought I would be ok to do it but I wasn't. I cried the whole way there. I composed myself to go in but fell apart when I had to say "I am here for Liam's ashes." The poor lady didn't know what to say to me. It took me a good ten minutes in the parking lot before I could drive home. I didn't think it was going to be so hard but it makes him being gone so much more real. Ugh. I put his ball in the box with him and now he sits on our mantle. The kids are very curious about whats in the box and I haven't the slightest clue how to explain that to them so Brendon just told them it was a box to remember Liam. Anyways, here is a few pics of Sophie's first encounter with a Christmas tree :)



She had fun.

Oh Christmas Tree

We got our tree set up today. Just wanted to share some pics :)

I spent most of today cleaning, and it's still not done. I hate when I get behind. Rylee had a Drs appointment, just a checkup. She did great. No shots until after her birthday. Yay! She weighs 31 pounds now. Crazy how fast they grow. Her Dr was Brendons Dr growing up and its so funny everytime we go in there. He loves seeing her!! The kids are staying at Darlenes tonight so they can see their friends tomorrow. That means kid free night for Mommy!! Brendon has been hunting all day. He got a buck a few hours ago and still has to go tag it and hang it so Geli and I are going to get pizza and see Role Models :) I'll let you know if its good!

Snow

Today's photo of the day goes to Bella & Rylee. Rylee was saying bye to Bella as we were leaving to have Thanksgiving at my Aunts. She has always been in love with Bella. So cute.

We had a pretty good thanksgiving. Very mellow, which was great. Rylee pigged out. Blake only had dessert bc he was too busy playing. Daddy watched a lot of football. And mommy drank too much and was sick all day Friday haha. This morning we went and got a Christmas tree. I brought my camera but didn't use it bc it was raining when we first got there. It ended up snowing wicked big pretty flakes so it was a perfect tree-getting day. Rylee was so funny catching the snow on her tounge, it made me wish I had brought my camera out!! Right now the tree is in the cellar but I'm hoping to have it up and decorated in the next day or so. We had dinner at Brendon's dads this afternoon, we haven't really seen them all since the wedding so it was nice :) Now I'm gonna go clean up a bit and watch some tv until bed. Night!!
