Sick, Sick, Sick!

I'll sure be glad when spring comes and we can get out of the house! We've had a lousy couple of months and it'll be nice to have some nice weather and fresh air. Brooklyn started out our sickness marathon with a stomach bug 2 weekends in a row. Then Kenzie got it the next week and like always it got her a lot worse! She was down and out of school for 4 days!

Once she got better I got strep throat and then on top of it their stomach flu to go with it! I can not recall ever feeling soooo miserable before! And when that finally ended Brooklyn had her tonsils removed. She was happy as can be when we got there. She didn't want to wear the hospital clothes at first.

Until she saw it came with a cool nurses hat!

She did panic a little when the Dr. came to get her. But she did great and within 20 minutes of being back in her room she was sitting up coloring.

She was excited to have a ride out to the car in a wagon.

She had a couple rough days (and nights) and at her age it was hard to convince her that drinking would help even though it hurts! She's a little trooper though and overall she handled it really well!

January birthdays

We started out the new year celebrating Chad's birthday with some family and friends over.

Had to post this because it's so cute to see these 2 getting along for once! We were watching tv in the living room and they were being so quiet in the bedroom I had to go check on them and found them snuggled up together watching a movie.

Then it was my birthday.... The big 3-0! I was totally dreading it but it turned out to be great and I still don't feel OLD! That's all that matters right... You're only as old as you feel! :) My parents got me this glass for my birthday. I love it! Hehehehe!

Hardware Ranch

After waiting in a looooonnnnnngggg line...

We got a ride in a sled pulled by these big horses.

It was so neat to be able to get so close to all the elk.

Christmas 2010

Christmas Eve! The girls were so excited to go to Grandma's and like always... I neglected to take pictures there. We always get so busy opening presents and visiting and doing puzzles and eating delicious food that before I think to take pictures everyone is gone.

We spent the evening at my parents. We always get to open one gift...

.... pajamas!

The girls were so excited the next morning the see that Santa had come!

Then my family came out for dinner and we exchanged gifts. My house looked like a tornado had hit it when we were done! There was so much stuff and so much wrapping paper I couldn't see the floor!

And since I got a tripod for my camera for Christmas and I had to try it out and make everyone pose for pictures.

Merry Christmas 2010!
