I know it has been a while, things have been really crazy. Colin has been sick for the past month, and after being at the doctors office every week, for the past three weeks and lots of calls they have discovered he has RSV. So he is currently on five breathing treatments a day, but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Last night was a good night; where he finally slept most of the night with out having a coughing attack.

So with out further a-do here are the long awaited pictures from Christmas! Enjoy!

A couple of weeks ago my mom and dad took Christian and Jadon to the Children's Museum for the Bob the Builder exhibit! The boys had a blast. Plus, we enjoyed the afternoon with just us (plus Colin, but he slept), and a quite lunch out.

WOW! I have really slacked on my blogging, so I have a lot of catching up to do. So hang on there’s a lot…..

First, I guess we will start with Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time, my Aunt and Uncle and there family, along with Shelli’s new husband came and visited for the long weekend. It was so nice to catch up. Since the last time we had seen them was in June for Shelli’s wedding. Plus it was there first time meeting Colin. We had a great time visiting, eating, shopping, eating, going to the movies, and did I mention eating!?!? On Friday Shelli, Colin and I fought the crowds and went shopping! We got a lot of stuff and really good deals; I ended up buying me something at every store though! Oh well!

And next was Christmas, which came so flipping fast! I could not believe that I was actually putting up Christmas decorations! Christian was so excited; he would ask me everyday if it were Christmas! He couldn't wait. The weekend before My Grandpa Stevens, Aunt Pam and her boyfriend Rusty came for a quick visit. I would have enjoyed it a lot more, if I wouldn’t have gotten a stomach bug that everyone at work was so nicely passing around! But over all a great weekend. Christmas morning came and Christian was up at 5:30, so I quickly sent him back to sleep, since it was too early! Then alas 6:45 and there was no more sleeping, he ran in the living room and his eyes lit up!! He said “I knew you were going to surprise me!” He started opening all his gifts, and about half way thru said, there was many present and he was tired of opening gifts!! We just laughed. The main thing he asked for was this police helmet, so after everything was opened I asked him if he had gotten everything he wanted, and he said he didn’t get his police hat…..but there was still one more present……it was his hat, and he was so excited!! Colin got a few little hand toys, since he is now able to hold onto stuff, and they go straight to his mouth. He also got a new play mat, which he enjoys laying under. Over all I will say it was a great Christmas, spending time with family, and enjoying the birth of our Savior!

Happy New Years!!! Well 2008 is over and now it’s time to embark on a new year. I must say it was a great year, we added a new member to our family, Christian started pre-k, and we were lucky to come out of the year better than a lot of people in the world. That you GOD!! It was a hard year for many people, a lot of them lost there jobs, houses, and more. But we must enter into a New Year being very optimistic. We ended the year thinking 2009 would be a year with a new job, that would come many new opportunities, but at the very end, literally, we would soon find out things would go a completely different direction. I guess it is God’s way of keeping us on our toes, and showing us he really has everything planned out the way it is supposed to be. Even though all four of us sleep through the end of 2008 and the start of 2009, we are excited to see what God has in store for us.

It seems so cliché that a new year brings new resolutions, but what is a new year with out any?!?! So here’s to me losing my “baby, baby” weight, since I really never lost it with Christian. Being a better blogger, so our family and friends can keep up with our crazy life, and to enjoy my boys even more every day. Since time goes by so FAST!! I encourage everyone, or anyone who reads this to start there own blog. Its kind-of like a journal but online! Keep in touch with family and friends. Even if you don’t think you have anything to talk about, sit in front on the computer and things will come to you. Write about your family, your friend, school, of even your little doggie. Whatever it might be.

Here’s to another year, enjoy life, family, friends, or whatever it may be. Enjoy every moment, bad or good it is what makes us who we are. And what ever it may be, trust God and know “he knows what he is doing, so sit back and enjoy the ride!”

Happy 2009!!


(I will post pictures soon!)
