Jim's step-mother passed away yesterday morning.
He'll likely be heading to Boston for her services next weekend.
I was not particularly close to her but I know her sons were so please keep them in your prayers.

New toys
Can you tell the difference between these two photos?
Okay, I'll tell you.
With my new toy I erased all my wrinkles and acne!!! Aren't I pretty?

Christmas is over already?
It seems like this entire month has just flown by. With Hanna getting into town, the trip to California, then Christmas, it's just gone and I'm trying to catch my breath and remember everything that happened!
The girls had a wonderful Christmas. We didn't have many presents because of the trip but they didn't care one bit. Ainsley got a bike from Grandma Patty and Caelan got a new baby doll and that's about all they need to be happy. Aren't kids great?
We had a family dinner last night and jammies at Grandma's house. We had lunch with uncle Jason and aunt Mikaela today and then I went to my mom's and we made almost 10 dozen tamales...oh man are they good!
Both girls are sick with chest colds so that means we have a big asthma flare up around these parts. Caelan is asleep on the floor next to me (I've been working for the past couple hours) and Ainsley spent the night at Grandma's with her cousins.
Jim got a golf membership to the Duke to share with my dad and I got Adobe Photoshop Elements, which I haven't even had a chance to play with yet unfortunately.
Hopefully it will be a slow weekend so we can all recover and recuperate.
Disneyland pictures are coming, I promise!

changed my header
Because the christmas cards are done.
Don't feel bad if you don't get one, seriously. I can barely keep my head on right now and I knew my in-laws would be upset if I didn't send one to them, but I will try, I can promise that much.
We leave for Disneyland in two days. My house is NOT ready and I'm still working tonight while Jim's at a Xerox thing all night long.
I'll try to check in before we leave.

short break
I don't have much time because really I should be working right now but I feel bad for neglecting the blog.
Jorden: Got a really crappy haircut/hack job done by her aunt Michaela that I had to take her to get fixed so she has super short hair now. Thankfully she looks cute with any kind of hair and pulls it off nicely.
Ainsley: Still having a great time with school and is starting to make friends left and right. Her favorite friend is the little boy that lives next door to my mom named Nathan. They get along great. She is soooo happy to have Addie here and it's great that the two of them actually play now instead of fight like years past.
Caelan: As stated in my previous post, she is potty trained. And really she still wears a diaper at night but she is completely without accidents during the day and doesn't even need my promptings anymore. She is the most polite little two year old I've ever met too. She says please and thank you and excuse me and it's so dang cute. Her favorite song is twinkle little star but has recently added the ABC song to her repertoire but that song usually ends up turning in Jingle Bells for some reason.
And here is a Sully-ism for you: Kyle actually told the store of Sully at my mom's house. The kids were watching Tinkerbell and he was pointing at the TV and saying "Tinkerbell! Tinkerbell!" And then it turned into "Tinkerbell, Tinkerbell, Tinkerbell all the way" (i.e. His own version of Jingle Bells apparently) We thought it was pretty funny.
Hanna is here and it's AWESOME! They're in Glendale this week but I'll see her on Wednesday for some crafty stuff and then next week as we get ready for...
DISNEYLAND!!!!!
We were slightly stressed about Jim's job in the near future but it looks like things are okay at least for now and the next few months anyway.
My knee is officially jacked up. The pain has become pretty much constant now instead of just the once in a while ache that it was before. I'm wearing a brace now and hoping that it calms down before next week or I'm screwed. They'll have to stick me in a wheel chair for Disneyland.
We went to the Tempe Art Festival on Saturday. We didn't buy anything (we never do) but it was still fun and it was nice to be outdoors.
I officially hate my glasses and am ready for contact lenses again.
We moved Jorden's bed downstairs to share the office with Jim. Ainsley and Caelan are not sleeping well and we're going on two months of that affecting mommy's sleep too so we had to separate them because I think it's become apparent that mommy lacking sleep equals a pretty messed up household.
Let us all pray that I get some better sleep in the months to come. Who needs more babies when I already don't sleep through the night?
