Still no baby!

Well Monday has come and gone with no baby. Why my children think they need extra time in the oven is beyond me. Maybe a little of there Dad in them. (He's always late.) I only cried a few tears, but not looking forward to trying again, so I guess will wait until baby is ready.


My wonderful family sent my flowers today. I think that they were because I should have had a baby, but I just looked at as a HAPPY TUESDAY! instead. I love you all! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
(Sorry flowers are a little out of focus, I didn't look close until I was already blogging.)

Christmas come and gone

We had a wonderful Christmas at our home. The kids slept until 8:00Am so Dan went running. The snow coming down made it feel like a winter wonderland. We laid around and watched a lot of movies. (Little house on the prairie) It is weird to not be around family this year. And it sounds like Mom and Dads was kind of quite as well.
It's Boxing day today and I would love to box up my pitiful Christmas tree. I still love all the other decorations,but that tree has seen better days. (days without cats)
We hope that everyone else found the season to be MERRY!

Lights of Christmas

We finally made it to the "lights of Christmas" last night. This is a Christan camp that goes all out with lights, food and programs. It cost too much, but every year Dan gets two tickets because it is where they take the Fifth grades to science camp. It was cold, but not too cold. I didn't fall on the ice and a good time was had by all. They said the attendance is way down this year because of the snow. Speaking of snow... It's still snowing. We have been snow in for over a week now. I'm done but the kids are having to much fun.

one year older- and wiser too...

The cats turned 2 today! Liam planned the birthday cake. The cats loved it. As far a wiser I'm not sure that cats get wiser. They should run from me and stay out of my room, but this has not been learned. Daily I yell get out!!!!!! But they still come in my room. (MY ROOM = MY SPACE.) If only the kids did not love them so much, I'd ship them off to grandpa's.

Last week my friends in the ward gave us a baby shower. It turned out great. I think that there were 15 adult and 13 kids. We tied a quilt, painted onesies, made scrapbook pages and of course we ate lots. But the best thing was the new stroller. My kids are loving it. They play with it daily with dolls and without. The Quilt was also a hit. Liam cried when we said that he could not sleep with. Everybody made one square and it was fun to see that everyone was thinking when they made it.
I know that I am blessed to have such great friends who care for me and my family.

Canning

Dan has been a little crazy lately.
















We have canned Tomato sauce, tomatoes, Jam and Jellies. So I should have guessed that apples would be next. This is pie filling. It turned out great. I did lose one jar on the canning pot. The other funny thing about this is that we almost always start late. By the time we are done, I'm about a sleep.
(Dan has also made 5 homemade apple pies and not ate store bought bread for two months. He makes all his own bread.)

Halloween

Ok, I thought that I would remember to blog my Halloween pictures, but I guess you need to remember to take the pictures to start with. This is as good as it gets. Just picture Autumn in an Poodle skirt and Savannah dress as Willy Wonka and you'll get the picture. (and Superman not spiderman.) Liam loved the cape. So it was worth the work.
