Slacking on the updates....Sorry!

Here we go.....

Chapter I

Lets first start with Thanksgiving! We were fortunate to have family travel over again!!! Yipee! Carlys Mom and Step-Dad as well as her Brother Chris, his wife Becca, and their 6 month old son Colton all made the trek eastward!

We had a great time, ate too much, and played a ton of wii! Carly, her Mom, Anna, and Becca did a little black Friday shopping and everyone left on Saturday. The highlight for Jackson and Waylon of course was sleeping in Gramma and Poppas motorhome!

 Colton and Anna having some fun cousin time playing on the floor!

 Poppa and the babies!!

 Anna enjoying the refreshment packaging!

 Wii, and yes, not all games are "interactive". Infact, this is the logger sports game, all you do is push buttons and occasionaly make an inappropriate jerking motion. Seriously.

Anna enjoying black friday shopping. Thanks for the pic Auntie B!

We did get our first accumulating snow storm a few days before Thanksgiving. The boys LOVED it, so much infact they laid down face first and ate like cows. Daddy even made them real Sno-cones, who cares if it was for breakfast!!!

Chapter II

The other day a truck pulls up in front of our neighbors house and the boys of course run to the window to watch. It turns out to be a Sears delivery truck bringing our neighbor Olee a new chest freezer! So being the awesome Mom that I am, run out and ask the guys for the box!! They were more than happy to give oblige and since then its been a major pain in the butt. LOL, just kidding, but its really big and takes up a ton of room in my kitchen. I couldn't fit it through my door without crunching in the sides! Its days are numbered but until then, the boys do enjoy it!






Chapter III

The next little bit of news is kinda a bummer but figured everyone would appreciate the update. We got a call from a specialist in Spokane this week about needing to get Anna in. Results from her last US in late November show her kidney tube issue has worsened. So onward, we will go up to Spokane first part of January and have a Mag 3 renal scan done on her as well as some blood tests. Not too big of a deal, she's probably going to hate it since she has to be strapped down in order to get clear images! After the intial IV she shouldn't have any pain.This test will show us how well her kidneys are functioning and wether or not a blockage is present. I know this is a small hurdle compared to what some people deal with everyday and worst case scenario she will need to have a surgery to do some repair work (which has a 90-95% success rate). I will keep you all posted on how things go! She does not seem to be in any sort of pain or discomfort now, hard to believe something is actually wrong with her!

She is a determined little girl though! She has figured out how to roll across the floor and gets to where she thinks she needs to be! She has also started the process of learning to crawl, rocking back and forth on her hands and knees. She is 5 months old today!

I think I can, I think I can!

About done with the laying down and lounging bit!

 Our three blessings!


I LOVE CHOCOLATE PUDDING!!!!!

Happy Christmas to you all!!!
