Just some thoughts...

I've had a few thoughts on my mind lately....As I have been facebooking this past month a few things have made me realize everybody has Challenges...some small and some large. (I'm just rambling and don't expect it to make sense.) The challenges we have had to deal with lately are relatively small, compared to some friends I have been reunited with. I don't know the details of what they are going through. It seems far more than I could handle. But for each of us there will always be a challenge that is tougher & more tiresome than the next. From past experience with Challenges, I have learned that how you approach the challenge, how you overcome the challenge, can either weaken or strengthen your soul.

I had a friend pass away before Christmas time. Her passing was and still is hard for me. She was there for me during some of the hardest times of my life. She gave me life advice and friendship, without judging or criticism. I am glad She was there when I needed her. It was one conversation that changed my outlook.

to all my Friends & Family, you may never know how a conversation you have with someone can change their lives... good night.

First B-Day

Graduating to..somthin cuter....sweeter

This year so far has been quicker than lightning...and so has our little crawler....

He has mastered crawling around the house to:

find Mom....

find Dad.....

play with the dogs....

go up the stairs.......

see who's in the bathroom.....

look out the window.....

It hasn't stopped at crawling....he's gotten into climbing....he loves climbing onto the wooden butcher block and plays with the handle on the mixer. It is tight in there but he manages to get himself in and out without any trouble!

"Little Squiggles" also has graduated from the baby tub/sink to the big tub! The first time was a little scary.....for him.....but as long as we've got the toys and some cups he'll do just fine. HE's growing up too Fast! A year is almost here..and Mama's not quite ready for a toddler. Especially one that thinks he can stand in the tub. Leaning over the tub....Oh My back just kills after bathtime.
"lil Stinker"
so he's old enough to sit in his high chair and feed himself finger foods..but what the camera did not catch is the dropping of said food on to the floor.....We'll be done eating and there is a sea of chunks on the floor....seat..cushion...( that's why the cushion is missing..its in the laundry).....So we send the dogs in to clean up his mess and he continues to hang his hand over the side of his chair and lets Rusty eat out of his hands..... he gets the biggest grin on his face when Rusty is done with the food and licks his hands clean...

His little personality is really quite charming..

**Goodbye 2009 and Hello 2010**

Well 2009 went out with a big bang...clang clang.... Dad ended up in the ER last night after hurting himself... I keep telling him to be more careful and he thinks he's Super-MAn.. He got a nice crooked slice in his leg. about 6-8 inches long....27 stitches and some nice bruising. Haven't taken any pictures with the stitches yet but he got a shot right before the stitches and is it ugleee!

2010** New Year's Resolutions.... They are in my head right now....will get to writing them down before teh 2nd...so hopefully they will get worked on this year and into the NEW DECADE! Whew!... a new Decade? Time has really gone by way too fast. Let's make every moment Count!

Baby's First Santa

This is just what we expected! Dad did the same thing when he was a baby.

Right on Santa's lap...step away for the picture and WAAAAaahhhhh! aaahhhh !

Oh the poor thing. Mom loved the pictures!

We had a very nice time at the ward Christmas Party. Listening to the Tremble Clefs,

Family Band, and singing carols.................. This year it was hard for mom to get in the Christmas Spirit! There were plenty of Opportunities, parties and overall love.....But somthing was just not coming together......She is excited for a whole New Year for Improvement and Growth.

What a cute Pair

Mom is not the best when it comes to Halloween.....so I was feeling kinda gloomy.....either that or I had an ear infection....not quite sure. I've had constant trouble with my ears now and i'm tired of it. This year I had a few parties go to. Bella's, Mike's, Trunk or Treat,& Halloween night! I want over to my buddy's house and we were the cutest pair. Too bad mom didn't think of entering us in the cutest couple Category! No Candy for me this year so I just played with my glow stick!

Allergic reaction

So today we found out that the little one is allergic to Amoxicillin. He has been taking it for last 5 days for an ear infection. This morning when he woke up I noticed 3 large bumps on his check, the looked like big pimples. The first thing that came to mind was oh no Chicken Pox. But as time went on he got more and more and the started turning into welts. So into the doctor we went. Poor guy, hope he gets better soon. Luckily the welts haven't been bothering him, at least for now.
