Happy Holidays

I just love the Holiday Season. I am trying to get my kids to understand the reason for the season. As we listen to Christmas music in the car Allie always wants to hear "Frosty the Snowman" but today we were listening to silent night and Allie asked me if I was singing and I told her yes because this song is about Jesus. She listened for a while and then said I really like this song mom. I also want to set up traditions in our home and Chris is always asking why I'm doing this or that and I always say it is a tradition. I wanted to put lights outside and he thinkis it is cause I want to out do the neighbors (there is no out doing our neighbors) I tell him I want to do it for the kids. The other day I painted our front room window with a snowman and a tree and Allie wanted to join in so I let her paint a tree on the other window, she did a pretty good job. While the kids were at the babysitter they got to make santa hats They were so cute that I just had to take a picture of them for you all to see. Have a great Holiday season and I will work on posting more fun things that we do.

Thanksgiving

Oops I have been slacking again. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to spending time with family. I am thinking about putting the Christmas tree up,but so far this morning my energy level isn't very high. I did however get visited by 2 little indians. I just wanted to share these cute visitors with all of you.

Birthday Boy

Trevor turned 2 on the 3rd and I can't believe how fast that has gone. We watched General conference then had family over for dinner. He didn't quite understand or have the lung power to blow out his candles but he sure loves all the gifts he got. We dressed him in his new church clothes yesterday and he was transformed into a big boy. I just love having him in our family. Happy Birthday Trevor!

Itchy

I went to the family doctor's office yesterday and found out that I have shingles on my side. Oh man it itches so very much! The doctor asked me if I was expecting and I said yes. then he said he needed to check out his pregnancy/lactation book to see if I can take the medication. He returned a while later and said he couldn't find it and had to call the pharmacy and check with them. He then proceded to tell me that shingles is a form of herpes and that I can now tell everyone that I have herpes (cause that is something you want to tell people out of the blue)...I looked at him and said well since I have a cold sore right here on my lip, I'm sure everyone can already see that I have a form of herpes. What a weirdo.
