Deakon is 5 months!

5 months?????

Happy 5 months my little man!

Mommy and Daddy love you!

Where does the time go????

He is movin and a shakin'! We are rolling from front to back and back to front now. He can sit unassisted for a few seconds at a time. And he can stand up holding on to the couch. He is already trying to get up on all fours and has succeded in doing so several times. He can pull him himself with his arms. Its so crazy how different each of your kids are. Buy my little boy seems like he is way stronger then any of my girls where at this age. Deakon is already cutting teeth too, and we are using orajel on a regular basis. He loves his jumper toy and could probably stay in it all day if we let him. We have started different stage 1 foods with him and he loves loves pears and sweet potatoes so far! And he hates peaches and squash. He is wearing size 2 diapers and 3-6 months clothing. He is growing like a weed and laughing out loud all the time! It is the cutest thing! I just love love love the age he is at right now.

This is when they really start to get fun. =)

Merry Christmas!

I hope that everyone had as wonderful of a christmas as we did! We were certain very very blessed this year. We had four different christmas's all together, and I am STILL organizing and getting things put up and pulling out the old. I cannot believe how much stuff we got this year. We have only been in our house for a year, but we have definitely outgrown it. I told Chris its almost time for a new one. =) The weekend before, we celebrated with Chris's family at the farm and then my dads side of the family on sunday. Christmas eve we spent at my grandmas, and then my mom, stepdad, and sister all stayed the night with us that evening. We played Mad Gab for hours, made cookies, cupckaes, and decorated them all. We played in the snow and woke up to a white christmas! Christmas night, while I cleaned and we played some new games on our Wii, Farren went to celebrate with her dads family. What a wonderful week!!

Anywho, here are some pics from our different X-mas's. These are the people and reason why I love Christmas as much as I do! If you know me, you know its my favorite holiday! Merry Christmas to all!!

Merry Christmas!

Happy B day to me!

Thank you everyone!

I probably....

Have the sweetest husband, sister, and best friend in the world! My 29th (ouch) birthday was on December 15th...and it was definitely one of the best birthdays ever. I woke up early the saturday before to go to farrens basketball tournament, which they lost, and then headed home after. Upon getting home, my husband advised me that pop pop and granny would be over shortly to pick up the babies and i was to go get my hair cut and colored! Sweet! I was well over due. So after the babies were picked up, thats exactly what i did. And I absolutely love the way it turned out! After getting home from my hair, I found an absolutely spotless house....thanks hubby....pretty much the best bday gift you can give a stay at home mom..and was instructed to get ready for the night and that jess would be there to pick me up at 4. We went to get our nails and toes done! And ohhhhh....it was UH- mazing! Exactly what i needed. Then we headed to chilis for a bite to eat and a drink. Jess paid for our day at the nail salon and our dinner. Thanks honey! After dinner we headed up to eagles nest for a couple drinks and to meet the hubby and find out what we were doing for the night. Chris and my cousin met us and advised me we were going out to dallas for my birthday! We left the nest and headed to our house to get in one car. When we arrived at our house there was about 60 of our closest friends and family waiting to greet me! A suprise party....how fun! And somehow I had no idea. My husband is the worst at secrets, so I was shocked! They had a keg, trash can punch, jello shots, and several different bottles of liquor. Oh I just knew it was going to be a good night and it most certainly was! I had the best time ever! Thank you so much Chris, Jess, Audra, and to everyone who came and celebrated with us!

The good news and the bad news....

Why does it always seem like once you get over one hurdle, there is another one fast approaching????

The Good-Well, Deakon went for his test last week, and we got results back saying that he is PERFECT! Yes, that is correct, perfect. Thank the lord there is nothing wrong with his little kidneys! I having been counting my blessings over and over that he is ok. I can't even imagine how those poor mothers feel when they get bad news about there little. I just know what a wreck I and the rest of my family was while waiting for this. So, thank you for all of you who were praying for us and Little D.

The Bad-Some of you may know that I hurt my knee almost 6 weeks ago. Well, I waited and waited and thought that if I waited long enough, it would just....well....go away. I assumed it was just a sprain or a twist or something along those lines. Well, 6 weeks later, I still:
-cannot straighten my leg out completely
-bend my leg back
-Cannot walk like a normal person
-Cannot sleep because it just throbs
-And cannot lift my leg over the bathtub! (I have to sit down and slide it over)

Anyway, my husband finally convinced me that I needed to go to the doctor. So, I did. And they then sent me to go have an MRI done on my knee to check the ligaments, tendons, meniscus, and muscle tissue. My doctor called today with my results and they were not good. I have three different issues. One, my ACL, or Anterior Cruciate Ligament, has a complete disruption...in other words, its completely tore. Two, I have a large C shaped tear in the anterior horn of my meniscus. And Three, I have a small tear in my LCL, or Latteral Collateral Ligament. My two remaining ligaments are pulled and swollen. So, needless to say, I got my answer why my knee isn't getting any better. I now have to go see a orthopedic doctor to consult with him on surgery to have everything repaired. Not sure how quickly this is going to be done though, we have no insurance. Damn. This is going to be an expensive injury.

Farren's Basketball....

Just thought I would put some pics up of Farren's basketball team. They started playing last thursday and I am excited about watching them grow. Here are a few pics from the first game. And sadly, they lost in overtime. Boo. Maybe next time guys. =)
