It has been COLD!

It's so funny to me to see some people's blogs who are bundling up for like 50 degree weather--not saying that I haven't done it before myself, BUT when you have 9 degree weather with the windchill factor making it feel like -15 degrees, it kind of changes your perspective on bundling up! :) It has been so cold this past weekend, and it will stay really cold until who knows when. Next week is supposed to be back up in the 30's, so we'll see. One large plus to the cold weather is that it snowed, and has stuck for several days!! Yahoo!! I haven't convinced Nathan to go play in it yet-- the first day when it was still in the 20's with no wind, he just wouldn't put his boots on. Now I don't want to go outside cause of the wind!

We celebrated Nathan's birthday last night, and I will post pics and give more info on that tomorrow when it is his actual birthday!

Update: We are still here!

For anyone who even cares...we are still alive. I have just been amazingly lazy and busy with all the holiday stuff. :) I did see Twilight with my sis-in-law xan and her sister, and also another sis-in-law and my mother-in-law. We had fun, and although the movie was a bit corny/cheesy, I liked it!

We had a little visit from my brother and sister-- Jarom and Megan-- and Nathan has been saying their names daily ever since.



Thanksgiving was fun, and I ate too many rolls and stuffing. I am not that big of a fan of turkey, but the rolls...:) We got snow here on the day after Thanksgiving and that is when we also put our tree up! YAY! I love Christmas trees and all the decorations at this time of year. Nathan will be two on the 17th, and he is definitely beginning the terrible two stage. He throws so many fits it's amazing, but with a few time-outs every day we manage. The worst is getting him to change out of his pajama's into his clothes and then getting out of the bathtub to put his pajama's on at night. He is talking so much more and will string two or three words together at a time now. I love him so much and just think he's adorable!

Carving Pumpkins and Costumes!

We carved pumpkins last weekend for Halloween. Below is a picture of Nathan and cousin Ayden, so cute!


Here I am making John's costume...he talked me into making a costume for him on Monday night...we got the fabric Tuesday night and I started working on it Wednesday. Talk about a few crazy days of sewing!

Nacho Libre, Encarnacion and a little dragon!

Happy Birthday John!

It is John's 26th Birthday today! John is such a great husband and Dad, we are so glad that he is ours! John had to work today, but when he got off we went to the fabric store...you will see when I post for Halloween...and then went home for his favorite breakfast dish for dinner and ice cream cake for dessert! Pictures to come soon...

Happy Birthday to ME!

For my birthday we went out to Mexican food and then Mark and Xan came over to help John sing. John got me a Marionberry pie...yum! He also got me a KitchenAid Mixer and he surprised me with tickets to a Sarah Bareilles Concert at The Knitting Factory. We had a great time at the Concert, she sounded GREAT live.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes and cards from everyone!
