Blessings

This past weekend I was so blessed to be able to spend the weekend with my bestest friend Katie. She was at her parents house visiting and stayed over night. We hadn't been together for a while so it was very fun to see her and her wonderful kids again. Her Husband had stayed home so we had lots of time to catch up and tell funny stories. We even ended up having a "sleepover" although there wasn't alot of sleeping involved. With my girls in Arizona I was quite lonely and very thankful for the fabulous distraction the Manning home offered. I am so very blessed to have such a wonderful best friend.

Thanks for letting me be there Katie.. LUFF you TONS!!

Snowday

These Pictures are from quite a while ago but I just hadn't put them up yet. Both the girls were absolutely thrilled that it had snowed and couldn't wait to go play in it. I dug out the snow clothes and we had everything but boots so we made a trip to the store and got boots and a sled.
My Brother Matt helped us play, We made a small sledding run in the back yard. There wasn't alot of snow because of the trees but enough to make it work and fun for the girls

Making snow angels was one of their favorite parts

Updates

I know it seems like ages since I have blogged anything, Mostly because it has been. Life has been busy but I also haven't felt like there is much to write. Anyways with Christmas' fast approach I decided that I better put something up.

I have a few funny stories from the girls.

I was out running errands and we didn't have that many so we weren't out for a very long time and both of the girls were whining in the back that they weren't ready to go home and they wanted to go somewhere else, Well we were almost home and Laira said "There is Subway eat fresh, that's another place can we go there" I was laughing so hard. Who knew that commercials were so influential (kidding)

We went to IKEA and Laira and Bailey decided they wanted to go to the play land while I did my shopping. Well when I saw the "you must be taller than" sign I knew we were going to have a problem. The hard thing for Bailey is that she is a very small 3 1/2 and sometimes that proves difficult to handle. Well she stood up and was about 3 inches short she looked the lady in the face and said "let me try again" she walked away took off her coat and went back. She stood on her tip toes and said, "See.. I AM big enough" and yes on her tip toes she was, but sadly I had to tell her she couldn't go in. So very sad and dejected after her valiant effort she slunked away to shop with Mom while Laira got to play.

Lastly, Laira is sick. she NEVER gets sick and on the other hand Bailey is ALWAYS sick and she isn't right now and I think that is hard for her. Laira has 3 medicines she is taking for strep and Bailey has nothing. She keeps telling me that she is sick and will have me look at the out side of her neck at her sore throat. She also thinks she has Pink Eye since my little cousin has it. So I now have a little Hypocondriact 3 year old. I think she is just jealous that Laira is getting all the extra loves and attention and not her.

Things with me are going well, We are trying some new things for my Endometriosis the side effects are not so much fun, I am sick alot of the time, Nauseated and sometimes the room spins but I am hoping that like the doctor said my body will adjust and it will hopefully lessen the effects of the Endometriosis. Otherwise we will have to do some other things like surgery and I am not excited for that. I am still working and I love my job more everyday. The people that I work with are amazing and wonderful teachers. Now I just need to figure out how to go to Nursing school and make it work.

Thank you so much for all of your wonderful love and support. It means a great deal to me to have so many wonderful friends.

ALL our love.

Life back to normal??

Well my sister is home now. With some very strict and ridgid rules. Do I think anything will change? I don't know. Only time will tell.
