It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....

I am so excited. We decorated the Christmas tree tonight and now I am totally in the Christmas mood. I always get like this where I just can't wait for Christmas. Then I blink and we are putting everything away for the next year. It always goes so fast and it makes me sad because I just love this time of year. We have extra lights from years ago that we never use. We had this idea to put them up in the kids bedrooms. So Cam has blue lights in his room and Breanne has purple in hers. I don't know why we have never thought of this before. The kids are totally excited. The funny thing is I think I bought those lights before both of them were ever born. Now here we are just using them. Funny that the colors were blue and purple. I must have known I would have a boy and girl. Something like that. Anyway here is a couple of pics to share with you. Only 21 more days left. Exactly 3 weeks away. That just seems crazy to me.

Freezing cold

It has been so cold here the last couple of days. It has gotten down to the 20's everynight. It is so pretty in the morning when you wake up and everything is white but it's all sunny out! I love it. So this morning Sean left for work. He ran back in calling all of us to come look. We get a ton of spider webs here. I mean A LOT!! So here is what he saw. Frozen spider webs. It looks really cool!!

Fiber does a body good

So Cameron is on Fiber tablets due to some obvious problems that we don't need to talk about...lol. He is supposed to take one everyday. Well Breanne has grown to love them like any other tasty medicine (she is just like that). She always comes to me and asks me if she can have one and a vitamin. I know both my kids probably don't get enough fiber in their diet so it is no big deal. I always let her take them in the evening around dinner. Well last night just like any other night she comes to me and asks and I say yes. So about 1 hour later her tummy starts hurting. Not even thinking about anything I just thought great she is getting sick AGAIN...Ugh!! So about 30 min after that Sean feels her tummy. It is really hard and sort of bloated. He decides to look up what can make you bloated. The first thing he finds is too much fiber. Breanne loves to eat fiber one bars so Sean goes and asks how many she has had today. I immediately think of the fiber tablets. I asked if he asked her about that. He said yes and she said she only ate one. Well me knowing Breanne goes over and asks her again how many fiber tablets did you eat? She tells me one. I asked her to promise me and we have always taught our kids that a promise is a promise, she decides to tell me the truth. She did eat more. She doesn't remember how many more though. So at this point I am worried she is going to get overdose poisioning or something. So I call the nurse at our doctors office. She tells me to call poison control. Now I am really freaking out!! So I call and she tells me it is fine she can't get poisoned from that, THANK GOD!! So she tells me to make her drink lots of water so it will work through her system, which about another 90 mins from this point it does. She had the runs for like 20 minutes. As bad as I felt for her I was happy that it did something to her so that she realized how serious this is. We had a long talk also about how taking too much medicine can make you die or extremely sick. We didn't make it look pretty by any means. I REALLY REALLY hope she learned her lesson. She was in quite a bit of pain there for about an hour or so. So I think that along with the runs she won't ever do it again. I have also learned that I can't trust her to get her own from now on until she matures a little more and really understands the meaning of "medicine". I can't believe her sometimes. I was talking to Sean last night and saying how Cameron would never do this. He wouldn't have done this at 4. He is one that follows my rules to a T. I could tell him he can only have two cookies and leave and know that he would only eat 2 cookies. Breanne would have at least 4 and possibly more. This little girl at two was sneaky. Just two totally different personalities for sure. Well I am just very thankful that it was only a fiber overdose and not something more major. What a fun filled night it was!! :-)

Sean's Photography

Sean went out late last night and shot some really cool pictures. Just thought I would share them. He is getting better and better everyday!!

Thanksgiving Day

Yesterday was Thanksgiving. This year we went over to my mom's house. It was something different since we are used to doing it at our home every year. I really enjoyed it though and had a great time. I made Sean bring his tripod so we could get a family picture with my mom since we don't have one. So here are the pictures from that.

This Thanksgiving I am really thankful for a our new home in a new location. We are loving it here and so are the kids. I am so thankful that God put us in a great place for the family. I am also thankful for my wonderful family that I have. I truly have the best husband and the best kids a wife and mommy could have. I am truly blessed!! We are also very thankful for all of our other family and friends that are so supportive in all we do. We love you all and couldn't do it without any of you. We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. :-)

Skating fun

So last Sunday we took the kids to the skating rink. We used to go in Puyallup all the time and then we moved and sort of quit going. It was the first time that neither one of us skated with them and they did it alone. They both had a lot of fun! Sean and I enjoyed watching them and hanging out together. It was nice! I like the skating rink here better. They both are really getting good at skating too. It sucks because their school has a skate night once a month but it falls on dance night for Breanne. One night we are going to have to skip dance and go just so they can go with their friends. Anyway here are some pictures of them skating. They didn't turn out the best due to lighting but thats ok they are still cute.

Letter to the tooth fairy

So last Tuesday Breanne lost her tooth. Well when the tooth fairy came that night she couldn't find her tooth under her pillow. So the next morning Breanne found her tooth along with her money. She came running to me and said look what the tooth fairy forgot. So we told her she should leave it under her pillow again because the tooth fairy needs her tooth. We suggested she write a note to her and this is what she wrote. She was really hoping that the tooth fairy would leave her more money again but that didn't happen. That tooth fairy is sure stingy!! The second picture is from when we lost power. Sean went around taking pictures of the fireplace and candles that were lit. He got some pretty cool looking pictures. I liked this one of the fireplace. This last week we had strong winds almost every night. I think the night we actually lost power it was gusts up to 60 mph. Luckily we only lost it for two hours.
