We have been sick way to much!!

We have been disgustingly sick since the first of December. In our household we have had croup, chicken pox, pink eye, colds, strep throat, respitory infections, ear infections, throw up flu (through all the children), diarhea flu, ulcers, back problems, strep throat again, bronchitis, bronchitis again, and more colds. We have literally only seen 2 weeks of wellness since the first of December. The great part about it is WE DON'T HAVE INSURANCE!! It starts Feb. 1st, and we have paid a lot of money seeing doctors and chiropractors and prescriptions. Thank goodness for discovering Express Care at Smiths. It is only $35 to go there and that has been fabulous. I am sooooo sick of being sick. What is going on with our little family! Back to back illness and overlapping illness and all of this all by myself. No Adam to help out with sleepless nights and doctor visits. There must be something I am supposed to learn from this but am to dense to learn it, because we keep getting SICK!! I am praying for spring, but keep shoveling snow. It will be nice to have the backyard to utilize again, once the mile of snow melts. Oh well, at least I know that the Lord will bless me with endless patience when necessary.

IT HAS BEEN SNOWING SOOO MUCH!!!!

This was the best purchase we ever made. I have had to use this soooo much this season. I have learned though, don't drive on it! That was a complete nightmare. Ice for a week.
We got a note in our mailbox, saying that if it wasn't clear, they wouldn't deliver our mail. When you live on a corner, there is way to much snow to take care of.
Our driveway is perfect for sledding.

Sisters

Ambra is so cute. She thinks it is really neat when her and Ariah match clothes. They have several things that match and she always lists them out for me. Each little one. This takes a few minutes to listen to EVERYDAY! She knows she is a wonderful big sister. She truly is her second mommy. She makes sure she stays out of trouble (like playing in the toilet, heading for the stairs, and tearing apart the garbage can - this she does several times a day!, I am constantly disinfecting this girl.)

Ambra loves to try to teach Ariah new things. She gets so excited when Ariah does something new. So does Colie. They will come running and screaming to me. "Mom, mom guess what Ariah did!"
They are so precious!!!!! I love how I can say "the girls".

Spiderman Party

Cole loves spiderman and got so many spiderman things for Christmas from us and his Grandma. The day after Christmas, Glenda planned a spiderman party for Cole with all his cool spiderman stuff. He had plates, and napkins and even a spiderman cake!! She got pizza and it was a fun little party. What a cute little memory.

Christmas Time!!!

Aren't these gorgeous! Adam sent me these flowers from a far away place. It was so nice to have them on my table through December to remind me of how much he loves his family.


Santa brought Ambra tinkerbelle!!

Happy Holidays!!

This was our Christmas eve breakfast table.
My three cute kids! Cole got cords and a snowman sweater vest. He loves frosty the snowman because his eyes are made out of Cole!!!
This was our Christmas dinner table.
Glenda came with a cute game called the snowflake game. We all ended up with cotton balls lotioned to our face. The person with the most balls wins. The children thought this was hilarious. It was a pretty funny game.
