Advent Calendar: Luminarias

We made an advent calendar for the month of December with an activity on each day to celebrate winter/Christmas. Over the last week we have; made a snowman craft, sang Christmas carols, visited Santa at the mall, enjoyed family free night at the Festival of Trees, watched a Christmas movie, and drove through the Luminarias at San Juan College. Here are some pictures of the kids riding in the van through the display and pictures of the display. I'll update this next week after we have spent this week enjoying more activities!

Stockings are hung and tree is trimmed!

We spent Thanksgiving weekend decorating our house for Christmas!! The boys really enjoyed helping us decorate this year. They were so interested in every little decoration we put out, it defiantly made the entire experience a lot of fun for all of us!!

Now, we weren't too sure about putting out all of our decorations because we have recently made the decision to transfer with Jason's work. Work here is slow and it has become increasingly hard to make enough money to support our family. Originally we were looking at Dickinson, ND but we are now looking at Odessa, TX and Rock Springs, WY. We will defiantly be making a move in the very near future (probably the first of February)...we just aren't sure exactly where we will decide to transfer. Our Realtor came today to look at putting our house on the market as soon as possible, then if it doesn't sell in a couple of months we probably be renting our house through our Realtor.

The boys are excited and can't wait to move. I am excited, nervous, scared, happy, sad, and every other emotion in between. I think more than anything I am ready have some decisions set and get this all underway. Jason is excited but also being very cautious with this very big decision.

So stay tuned to learn more about this new chapter in our lives!!

Rebecca is 4 months old!!

The last four months have flown by since Rebecca was born. She has been such a wonderful addition to our family. I must admit that she is a great baby. This may make some jealous but she sleeps 8-9 hours at night in her own room, naps for 2 hours or more at a time several times a day, falls asleep on her own, only cries when she needs a diaper change or is hungry, loves to talk (especially to her lady bug bedding), and smiles all the time.

At her 4 month check up she weighed 13lbs and is 25in long. We have been able to take her completely off of her acid reflux medicine...she spits up from time to time and it will give her an upset tummy but it is so rare that there was no need to keep her on the medicine. She is developmentally excelling! Overall she is a healthy, happy baby!!

She did catch a little cold from Jason(he was sick over Thanksgiving) but it is nothing serious and she is already feeling much better only after 3 days. Here she is at 4 months old!

Who knew you could wear a bikini in 10degree weather?? ;-)

Thanksgiving!

We have so much to be thankful for including; family, friends, good health, our jobs, house, vehicles, food, and the list goes on and on!! We started Thanksgiving with cinnimon rolls and hot chocolate for breakfast. We told the boys a little about Thanksgiving and then we went around the table saying what we are each thankful for the most. Ryan named all of his family members, including extended family, because "he loves all of his family". Dylan said a few family members names and then told us he was most thankful for "his bike because it goes faster and faster and it is lots of fun!!".

We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner with Jason's family at Aunt June and Uncle Howard's house in Bloomfield. It was a beautiful day so the boys spent most of our time there playing in the back yard. Rebecca got a lot of attention from all of our family there! It was great to spend the day with them all.

After dinner and time with the family we headed home but stopped to each get a movie first. Once home we spent the remainder of the night enjoying a family movie night. With popcorn and each others company while watching movies, it was a wonderful end to a great day!!
