Well December was a whirlwind with 2 hospital stays-- one just before Christmas. But we made it through the month. Even though things have been hard, God has really been comforting me with his presence. I have been struggling with not feeling very useful and feeling guilty because I have had to depend on Kenny for so much help. Kenny is so amazing and never complains about having so much on his

Today I took the kids to Kid's Quest Museum in Bellevue! We only have about a month left of our annual membership and I thought we should take advantage of it! The kid's museum in Bellevue is pretty small so I found the kids loosing interest in it when we were going weekly. It has been quite a while since we have gone, so the kids really enjoyed their time there today! I was a little hesitant to

Last Monday night we went to the annual Costume Party at Blue Sky Church! It was so much fun! There were two bouncy houses, lots of games, and tons of candy! :) Caleb dressed up as a pirate and I painted a beard on him. Chloe was a ladybug and I even painted a ladybug on her face. I dressed up as a cowgirl and Kenny went as himself-a software developer! :) Our small group decided to make our

On Saturday we had a family pumpkin carving day! :) First we went to Michaels and picked out some fun carving patterns. Then we went to QFC and the kids got to pick out their own pumpkins! They were having a fantastic sale! Only $3.99 for large pumpkins! Once the kids picked out the design for their pumpkins, we got to work. Caleb picked a design with 'fire' eyes and mouth. Chloe picked a kitty

So, after my wonderful couple days of great energy, I got sick again! Last Sunday afternoon I started having sharp pains across my shoulder blades and pain under my right ribs. On Monday, I was super tired! I took a nap when the kids did and when I woke up my pain was worse. It was actually Date Night for us and I was trying to tough it out. Well, we never made it to the restaurant for our

Yesterday (Friday) was such a productive day for me! I woke up feeling really exhausted, but once I got going I got so much accomplished! When I was still sitting in bed, I decided to try something new and fun with my eye make-up. Then Chloe wanted some make-up. :) Since we were staying home for the day, I put pink and purple eye shadow on her. She loved it! Then I figured since I managed to

Today, during lunch Caleb asked me, "Does Jesus have a wife?" I responded by saying, "No, but that is a really good question Caleb!" There was a moment of silence, then Caleb said, "That's too bad! I wish Jesus had a wife!" It got me thinking... I wonder if Jesus ever wished He had a wife? Or was He totally consumed by His heavenly father? But, I'm glad Caleb thinks that having a wife is a

This week we have been learning about Italy! We have been eating Italian food for dinner, listening to Italian music, and even riding in pretend gondolas in Venice! One night we made Italian flags and learned how to say 'hi' in Italian-'chow'! Last night Caleb and Kenny made shields out of cardboard so they could pretend to be gladiators from Rome! We even started talking about putting on the

Today I had to go to the doctor for a follow up and had to get a tetanus shot. :( According to my blood work I needed a booster shot. My arm is really sore-I feel like such a wimp! Now I will be able to sympathize with Caleb when he gets his 5 year old shots! Speaking of which-I need make that appointment! Got a little behind on life with all these infections I have been dealing with... At

Last Friday we adopted a puppy named, Sugar Bear! I thought I would take Caleb and Chloe to visit some puppies at the Seattle Humane Society. Little did I know, we would fall in love with an adorable little puppy! :) She is a Chi mix and as sweet as they come!

I LOVE Leggings!!--Only READ if you are a LADY! I was just telling my hubby how much I love my leggings!!  I have long legs and not much of a waist---so finding jeans/pants that fit good is---how do I put it---MISERABLE!!  Leggings are perfect for the rainy climate that I live in! They tuck into all my boots and I never have to worry about the bottom of my pants being wet.  Another thing I love

The last two weeks, I have been attending MOPS again!  Last week, I visited MOPS at City Church and had a wonderful time hearing 3 older mothers share their stories!  This week I attended MOPS at Timberlake Church and had a fun time making beaded bookmarks.  It feels so good to be able to get out to MOPS again!  My kids are past the separation anxiety age and they go happily to their classes.  It

Hooray!! It's Friday and I get a date with my hubby tonight!  This week is special for us because 7 years ago we met each other for the first time!  Thanks to Kenny's cousin Noelle and my friend Dawn for matching us up!   Kenny and I had been emailing about a month before we met.  I was a new nurse working night shift so my schedule was really crazy.  I remember the night we met so clearly and I

The last two days we have spent the mornings outdoors--which has been so wonderful!!  Yesterday I walked to a park about 3 blocks from our home--a huge accomplishment for me.  For those of you who don't know---the last few months have been so rough on me physically--including two hospital stays and dealing with a really low blood count.  Getting to the park was a challenge for me---but walking

Happy February everyone! February is always special for me--it is the month I first met Kenny and it is also the month that Kenny proposed to me!!  Lots and lots of love!! Yesterday the kids and I were playing a game called Hullabaloo--great game for preschool age... Anyways one of the pieces of the game has an ice cream cone on it.  So this morning Caleb announces that he wants an ice cream

With it being the last day of January, I figured I better hurry up and make the second post of the year. :) Since I enjoy photos, I think I need to have great photos to post in order to blog.  I have decided that in order to make regular posts--some will not have pictures. :( January has just flown by for us.  On January 25th, I entered my 30's.  At first, I wasn't too sure how I felt about

Happy New Year!  Sorry I have been gone so long.  December was a rough month---starting with a second hospitalization and nearly a 3rd one on Christmas Eve.  In spite of feeling like crap most of the month we were able to get out as a family and do some fun holiday festivities together. Now that we live in downtown Bellevue going to Snowflake Lane (pictures below) was a piece of cake.  Kenny

Can you believe it? I'm back again! That's 2 days in a row! I decided that I would have a reasonable goal of blogging once a week and if I can do it more often than that--I will give myself a pat on the back! :) Last night Kenny took me to Target and I got to scooter around the store on one of those old lady motor scooters. :) I'm still gaining my strength back from being sick and hospitalized.

Hello again!  I'm starting a new resolution before New Year's--I'm ahead of schedule!  Deep down, I miss blogging.  As I get older, I find that I'm actually pretty artistic--I'm just picky in how I express myself artistically. :)   I really like fashion and shopping.  I enjoy looking at fashion magazines and finding new ways to put old clothes in my closet together to form a new outfit.

Cruisin' CalebI'm in a Big BedOn Kenny's birthday, April 20th---Caleb started crawling. In a matter of days, he has perfected his crawling and he can now pull himself up on anything and everything. He is keeping his parents on their toes---that's for sure. Caleb seems to have no interest in his own toys these days---he just wants to explore and get into things he can't have. He loves the

First Bites Caleb celebrated his half-birthday on February 3rd 2007! He is now six months old! We can hardly believe how fast he is growing and changing. He is rolling over completely now and sticking everything in his mouth that he can get his little hands on. We are always watching out for our own hands now because Caleb has two bottom teeth. He's a chomper!Kenny took the rest of his

As daddy was fixing the eggs, Caleb decided to help by holding the bread for his daddy. It was pretty funny--Caleb must have held on to the bread for about three minutes or so.Our little guy surprised us again a couple days ago with his first tooth on the bottom right. When we

After getting some yummy sandwiches at Subway, we went up to daddy's office so Caleb could get a little snack too.
