A Christmas Birthday for Halloween and the Diva Dog

This post has been a few weeks in the making. First I couldn't find my camera cord and then the power source went out on the computer. Whew! Glad thats over!



Brennen has been saying for a few years now, how he pretty much gets jipped for his B-Day. His birthday is on Christmas Day and being a busy month and all, I usually make him share with Riley because his is on Dec. 14. I always think I will do better but sadly I don't. Anyway, this year we had a Halloween party for Brennen. I feel like the worse Mom because I didn't take very good pictures. But they had pizza, Halloween cupcakes, Halloween goodie bags, and then Brian took them to the Haunted Forest and Phsyco Manor(thanks for getting me out of that one Brian). They had a blast and now Brennen can say, that he has had is very own Birthday party!


Ok I just had to put this on here. Josh picked out this outfit for Izy. Too funny!


Riley has a new talent. The funniest part was that when he did it Brennen thought is was so gross he threw up. I don't think I will be making spaghetti any time soon!

4th picture in my 4th file, and then tag 4 people

I know. This is a weird picture! I'm wishing I had deleted it now. Last Christmas the kids were having fun elfing themselves and took these pictures for it. It was funny at the time! Now, not so much.




I tag Erin, Jill, Mandy, Kelly!

6 Quirks

1- I love to buy magazines, especially ones with recipes. I have just started to go through them all and pull out what I want because there isn't anymore room in my house!
2- I only wear boring colors(black, white, brown, grey, etc.) I will buy other colors but will not wear them. Weird I know!
3- I hate going to the post office and the bank, and will procrastinate going as long as I can(just ask anyone who has written me a check).
4- I have severe anxiety. I can't sleep at night because I sit and think about all the dumb stuff I did or said during the day.
5- I like my dishwasher loaded a certain way. My way.
6- I hate to go downstairs to find the kids, so I yell down the vents or down the stairs.(Jason helped me with this one)I think I will work on this!

6 people I tag are: Kelly, Mandy, Tricia, Jill...

Brian had his surgery last weekend on his throat finally, and this week we found out that he does not have cancer! Yeah! What a relief! After the surgery the Doctor sounded pretty sure that he had some type of lymphoma and we were pretty scared, but the tests came back all normal. They don't know why he was having the swelling, but it's not cancer so we are glad.

We just want to say thank you to all our family and friends who fasted and prayed on our behalf. It gave us a lot of comfort and strength through this hard couple of weeks. We love you all.

Happy B-Day Jason! Looking back at these pictures I can't help but feel so grateful to be a mom to such a great kid! I must say that it has been an emotional week, I had a flood of memories coming back. Nothing has changed, he is still around, has to finish high school and all but it just struck me how truly fast the time we have with them goes by. He has always been such a cute boy, such a yellow personality, easy going, and quick to forgive, so opposite of me! It's amazing how much we learn from our kids. Love you Jase!
