Ho Ho Ho... Heres Pictures with Santa

Ok.. here is our visit with Santa Clause. There would have been more pictures of Jackson but the setting on the camera was not right and the pictures turned out blurred. Jackson wished for a big straw (don't know where that came from and a hellicopter.

Icky Yuckies

Well we have been battling the stomach flu in our family... not just our family at our house but at my sisters too. This is the worst case of the stomach flu in the aspect that it is soo catchy. Jenna had it on Sunday and so did Melissa, then Jackson had it on Wednesday, then Ryan, then Barry on Thursday and Hunter on Friday. YUCK... that is all I have to say. We are all very dissapointed that we had to cancel Christmas in the cities this weekend but we really need to stay home and rest and not spread this crud!

My kiddos were AMAZING.. they just took it like big kids and did soo good!! Mom has not gotten it yet... well, not the throwing up part yet and I refuse to. Thank you to Grandma B for rescuing us two times in the last week!! You coming here to help us was soo amazing!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

Ok.... I get it.. time for an update

I turned 30 this past week... yep.. BIG 30. Friday my sister took me to get a pedicure and then took me all around town to get tupperware... well, she was stalling so everyone could get to my surprise birthday party. Thank you to everyone who had a part of this surprise event. What a fun surprise to a hecktic week. I don't have any pictures of the party yet since I didn't have my camera but my mom did.. so once she emails them to me I will post them here. Yesterday I took part in a holiday one stop shop event and my purses were a HIT!!! I booked two parties and am very optimistic that this is a good business for me!!!! Anyone interested in booking a party... let me know. They are fun and harmless and you get FREE PURSES!! Sunday was no end to the crazyness. We ended up staying home from church and cleaned our house from top to bottom... and around noon Jenna threw up all over the place. This was projectile vomiting. I have spent the rest of the day rocking her and taking care of her. Poor thing. I hate laying her down. Soo scared that she will puke again. Now.. whether in my head or not... I am getting a messed up tummy. So.. that is my update.. sorry there is nothing too exciting, but I will put pictures up later from the party!!

Jenna's First Rice Cracker

Oh boy.. did Jenna get excited when she took her first bite of this rice cracker. I saw these at the store and they caught my eye since they are gluten free. Up until now she is just been eating rice cereal and breast milk/formula but since these dissove instantly I thought i would let her try one. She LOVED them!!! With myself and Jackson having food allergies the chance of her having food allergies is pretty high. I have read that if we keep from giving her food with gluten for at least a year and I avoid it as well (which I do anyway) she has a better chance of avoiding food allergies all together. So boring as it may be... she is stuck with rice based foods for a while! Here are some pictures of her eating her first cracker!

Family Traditions

I love family traditions. When I was younger we had traditions like going to the pumpkin patch, watching fireworks every 4th of July, decorating the tree, hot dogs on halloween night.. and soo many more. This is one tradition that I wanted to start with my family and it has proven to be a fun one. We build a gingerbread house every year with dad as the project foreman and mom as the decorating supervisor and maid :) Jackson is in charge of the decorating and besides putting the frosting on he did ALL of the decorating... seriously!! I think he did a wonderful job!!

My Night Out With Co-Workers, Friends and My Husband
