Christmas

Well it was wonderful. The kids had a blast and loved everything. Although Jeoy has been at my mom's since Christmas. LOL Kameron has been with me. After Sarah and Hlaey go to bed Kirk,Jessie,Kam and I all sit around the living room playing card games.We have had alot of fun.
Kirk went all out this year and really showed his sweet/romantic side. I never see this side. first he went all over looking for a book that I wanted. He found it, and got me a movie that I also wanted. well then he threw me for a loop. He hands me a card. He is sooooo not a card guy. I open it and read it and start to cry. If he does get a card it is always those funny ones. Well this one was the sweetest card. Inside were two visa gift card wrapers that totaled $150.00 with a note saying that a friend from church had the cards and me and three of the ladies from church are going shopping next weekend for me some clothes and he gave them strick instructions that I can not get anything for the kids.LOL he knows me oh so well. Now for what the card says
on the outside
For the woderful woman I love
I hope you know how much I admire you
for the way you put our family first.....

inside

I hope you know how much I appreciate you and the happiness you create.
You just naturally give so much of yourself and have turned so many of my dreams into reality.
But most of all,
I hope you know how much I love you
for all you do...
for all you are...
for being the woman I'll always want
as my partner in life.
MERRY
Christmas

and then he wrote
I love you so much
Kirk

Because you mean so much to me the gift cards are with Kourtney W. so that you can not spend them on the kids. Jan 3rd will be a girls day out to go clothes shopping with Kourtney,Kelsie and Sunshine.

Of course we had to have the camcorder out for the first time in years and yep you guessed it he turned it on me to get my reaction. So now I have to find a way to get it and delete that part before he stops me.LOL

She really did join the army

My sister hid it from us that she was joining the army. Well after she told us and we knew she should be in boot camp mom called her house. Or something like that. Well she told mom that she was home from bootcamp for a visit cause she has kids. We all said no way is that happening. They don't care if you have kids. Well mom just got a letter from the church saying that she is in the army and actually going to church down there. we are shocked that not only is she really in the army but that she is going to church. Maked me wonder what she thinks she can get out of it. I love her to death but she thinks of herself alot.

Got some of the barn done today

I tell ya I will be sooo glad when this barn is done and usable. We have the outside wall of almost 2 stalls done. I am getting excited to see so much of it done. Hopefully it wont be long until I can at least stall the horses up to keep them off the pastures. They already look really bad. With all this rain we have had it is a huge mud hole out there. the missionaries came over today to help. Man those guys can work. Of course we always feed them dinner when they come over. Everyone loves that. The kids adore them both. We will be sad when they are transfered out of here.
Kirk is feeling better but still hurts if he does too much. I know he still hurts cause he didn't work like he normally does when we have people over helping. I feel bad for him. Hope he gets better soon.
I am almost done with my shoping for christmas. Just need to get one more gift for Jessie and then the candy for the stockings. I also got the giftcard today that Kirk's dad sends us eveyyear that I have to go pick up the gifts from him. I think Jessie might get a couple pair of pj's from him. She loves the warm fuzzy ones that the shirt buttons up the front. Of course all my girls love that kind. Joey on the other hand wont wear pj's. He just sleeps in tomorrow clothes. Figure there are worse things to fight over so I let it go. LOL

stuff in general

Haley had her follow up appt from her surgery.She is doing great and her ears look wonderful. She goes back in 3 months.
Sarah teeth are coming in. She is excited about that.
Kirk fell off Bo on Sunday and is hurting. He had a bruise show up this morning.
Sarah is deffenatly my daughter. I showed her one of those scary videos and she just stood there and I told her not to tell Jessie and Joey so I could show it to them and she giggled and said lets show it to Haley. Yep she is her mothers daughter.
On a sad note we lost RJ (our billy goat) last night. We are sooo not used to losing billies. we are praying that one of the 3 full blooded nannies we have is pg and she has a billy. Lord knows we can't aford to replace him right now. We are thinking he got pnomana(I know it's spelled wrong) the weather has been crazy.

Missing teeth

Sarah has lost her two front bottom teeth. Just a few days apart. She looks so cute.

Haley's surgery

It went great. She was tired and whinny the whole time.When Kirk was getting her dressed to leave she told him that after she got dressed she was going back to bed cause she was tired. WE get to the hospital and she ran around in the waiting room. Well when we get to the preop room she got whinny again. We had to make her change withh er crying that she wanted to go home cause she was tired. When the nurse came in to take her back she told us that she was there to whisk her away.Hlaey clung onto kirk like a baby monkey. The nurse went to get a wagon and came back and took her off Kirk and she started crying. the nurse looked at us and said I'm whisking I'm wisking. My poor baby cried all the way down the hall. I about lost it. I felt so bad for her. They took her back at 8:11 and came to get us cause she was awake at 8:28. when we got into recovery she was laying so well.the nurse told us that she was awake and talking to her when she got in there. she told the nurse about a bruise on her leg. Now I have no clue where this bruise came from. Like alot of her bruises and scratches but she told the nurse that her brother bit her. The nurse asked her why he did that and she told her cause she was mean to him. I know he didn't bite her cause she would have came crying for that one.
On the way home I asked her if she could hear better and she said yes and she liked her tubes.
Praying that this is her last set of ear tubes. It is her 4th set in 3 years

Haley's Birthday

She had a great time. Joe made the cutest tinker bell cake for her. She got so much tinker bell stuff it's not even funny. LOL She even got the movie. She also got a couple babies and some shoes and hair stuff and bath gel. Tomorrow we are taking her to the mexican place for her actual birthday. She will get to wear the big hat and get a fried ice cream. She is looking forward to it.
She gets her next set of ear tubes on Friday which is when Kirk and I would take her out. We are thinking since she will have just had surgery that we will see if we can find places for the kids and Kirk bring home chinese and a movie and it just be us at home. I'm trying to talk him into letting her sleep with us that night. He just might but still have to do some talking. LOL
