Sorry haven't posted lately...

My Kaden is so sick. Yesterday I took him to the doctor because he had a temperature of 102 to 103 and a stomach ache since Sunday and they tested him for strep throat. It was negative. Then they tested him for pneumonia. It was negative too. So now it's the waiting game, what is it, I have no clue. But nothing has changed. At the doctors they took his temperature of 104.6
If you believe in God or a higher being, please pray for my son. He is so sick and needs your prayers. I know it would help. I just need to trust that God has a plan and he will get better soon. I will do better with my posts when everything in my house is back to normal. I hope everyone in your homes are safe and healthy.

The NEED for chocolate milk

Ok, so I don't remember getting very many cravings with my first two children but oh, my, am I craving chocolate milk. The other night Michael, the kids, and I were at Smith's shopping when I kind of wanted some chocolate milk. I got a small premixed one and from then on I NEED it. Just three days ago I wanted some so bad I tried to make it out of hot chocolate mix. It DIDN'T WORK! I texted my friend and she ran me over some Nesquik. Thanks Dede! Your a lifesaver. It was 10:40pm at night and for those of you that know me very well you might know that it is against all my upbringing to call ANYONE after 9pm unless you are bleeding, on the floor, dying. Just ask my husband. So I have come to accept the fact that I am a crazy pregnant lady and I crave chocolate milk. Have a great day!

Nutcracker ballet 2008

Michael and I got to go to the Nutcracker ballet with our wonderful friends Mike and Dede Wright. It was so much fun. We weren't allowed to take pictures so I got some off the Internet. I haven't been to a ballet in so many years. It was enchanting! I just loved it. It really put me in the holiday spirit.
This year has been hard for me to get into the spirit of the season. I don't know why? Maybe because I'm so sick all the time with being pregnant, or maybe because of the economy we are not spending very much money so Christmas won't really be the same this year.
But this weekend, with going to the Nutcracker and attending our ward Christmas party, I am feeling better. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and feel the joy Christmas brings into each of our life's.

Picture's of finished yard

Due to the warmer weather we are having Michael & Kaden were able to till our garden. Now what? I don't know a thing about gardening but hey, we are going to try. Here's some pictures of the yard finished too since I didn't get to post those.

THE BASEMENT IS FINISHED!!!!

Michael and Jonathon worked night and day on the basement for so long and now.... it is finished. Cris put up with her house being torn apart, two grumpy men working in her basement and much more I am sure. Congratulation to all how put effort and work into the project.
To have a little fun I set up a ribbon ceremony. Here are some pictures...



Michael, Cris, and Jonathon all cut the yellow ribbon at the same time. I should have gotten a better picture.

It's Christmas morning!!! Oh, wait, the basement is finished, even better :)

I teased Jonathon that the first night we would watch him fall asleep in his new bedroom. I guess I was not joking.

Michael was soo tired after working so hard he just fell asleep. Jonathon was not amused :)

Halloween!

I enjoy Halloween. Maybe it's because I like chocolate so much or that when I was a child I had wonderful memories going trick or treating. I don't know why, but I think it's one of my favorite holiday's. Anyways, one of the things I love to do is carve pumpkins.



These were the best pumpkins Smiths had to offer (I would know, we looked at almost every single one of them)

This year Kaden got into it and even put his hand in the pumpkin. Emma is still too much of a "princess" too get her hands dirty.

Daddy had to help

She did a good job

Kaden made his design all by himself!

Halloween day is pretty fun too. My parents came down to see there grandkids go trick or treating. I enjoyed that, and it was Michael's first time with the kids on Halloween.
