Colorado

Breckenridge was Fabulous!! We had been there once before but it was summer. It was so gorgeous with all of the snow and Christmas decorations everywhere. They also have really great skiing. Jon skied 4 days and I skied 3 days. They have really wide runs and most of their blues are more like greens in other places I have skied so it was really fun. It snowed 4 of the days we were there so we had fresh powder on Tuesday and Friday. We also played a lot of pool and gin/rummy. We had a really good time just being together with nothing else to worry about, but we really really missed the kids. By Wednesday we were ready to get home and see them. It was great walking through the door and having them climb into our arms saying Mommy!, Daddy! I almost cried! I won't be leaving them for that long until they are a lot older.
On Sunday, David fell off of our bed and hit his head pretty hard on my nightstand. It was bleeding but once I got it cleaned up I could see it wasn't too bad but he was acting a little lethargic so I called the dr. and she had us watching him for a concussion for the rest of the day and night. So we made the mistake of letting him sleep with us Sunday night. He really liked that and now thinks it should happen every night. As I write this, he has been in his bed screaming for almost an hour. I have gone in once to rock him and calm him down and all he did was point at the door and say mommy bed, mommy bed. I hate it because he sounds so different from his other cries. This is broken hearted sobbing!! UGH! Breaks my heart too!
Alex on the other hand loves her sleep! When she is ready to go to bed she will go find a pacifier and her blanket and curl up with it on the floor or she will bring it to you and curl up in your lap. She never cries when we put her down. On a different not, her hair is becoming insane! She has these masses of curls that just stick straight out of her head in the back and sometimes straight up on top of her head too. If you comb them , they are frizzy, so I just let them go and she has this cute wild mane of curls! She also has all 4 I-teeth coming in right now so that makes 16 teeth for this kid.
David is talking in 2 and 3 word sentences quite a bit now. His little voice is so cute so I could listen to him talk all day! I love it when he asks for raisins or chocolate because he says those words in such a funny way. The other thing that cracks me up is he doesn't call Alex by her name. Somewhere along the way he picked up on sister so that is what he calls her, "ister" He asked me several times today "Where's ister, where is she?" I thought that was so funny!
My mom just called and told me that the Star Telegram had been at the mall when they took the kids to see Santa last Friday. Well, she just looked on the front page of the star telegram online and there is a video of several kids with santa. My kids are on the front picture that advertises the video and they are SCREAMING! They are in the video too for a few seconds so I am going to link to it for everyone to see.
Enjoy!

Wow its December!

Hi all!
I haven't posted much because the holidays are definitely here! I can't believe it is already December. We had a great Thanksgiving and I hope everyone else did as well. I haven't stopped listening to Christmas music since last Thursday. I LOVE all of my Christmas albums!! Peggy, Katie, Ryan, and I went to the Casting Crowns Christmas concert and it was so good. They have such an amazing ability to tell a story and Natalie Grant was there too so that made for a fabulous time!
I feel like a total recluse with my friends so if I haven't talked to you in a while I am sorry! I promise I will catch up when we get back from Breckenridge. We leave tomorrow afternoon and we won't be back until next Sunday. Until then, love and blessings!!








This is her new hiding place to get away from David...between the wall and the refrigerator.

I know I have already posted a picture of her all messy but I just thought this was hilarious!
