Happy Anniversary

Today is my parents 21st anniversary.
21 years with 12 kids, 8 in-laws, and 27 grandkids with #28 due any day!
Love you mom and dad.
Happy Anniversary!

Christmas Day

Every year growing up, my family would have 'hallway' pictures before running into the front room where all of our presents were. We have so many of them, I thought it was a great tradition to keep going in my little family. Kenna is wearing her Christmas Eve P.J.'s from Grammy and Papa

She went straight to the bike, and was so excited!


She loved going through her stocking full of goodies!

She loved all of her presents, and can't seem to stop playing with them!

Later that night, we went to mom and dad's house, where we watched Santa Claus, Christmas Vacation, and opened one last present. McKenna got some make-up, and I got some really nice shampoo and conditioner.

This year was awesome.

'Twas The Night Before Christmas

And all through the house, McKenna made sugar cookies,

even in the shape of a mickey mouse!

The ornaments were hung on the tree with care,

So many presents unloaded, I couldn't help but stare.

Christmas Vacation

I just realized that I haven't even watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. It's tradition in our family to watch it every year, and I haven't even done it! My family will be disappointed. Maybe tomorrow night while we're at Grammy and Papa's we'll all watch it. And if not, then I'll watch it after Kenna goes to bed tomorrow because I know she won't sit through it! Anyway, just thought I'd let you all know. :)

New Job!!

I went in for my interviews today, and I have a job! It's so much more laid back than Gold's, the manager is a friend of mine, AND it's not nearly as busy as Gold's (best part)! They only have enough hours for me to work once or twice a week, which is fine, especially when I start school again.
Totally stoked.

Finals Are Done!

I took my last final today, and now I'm done! I have 3 weeks off w/my beautiful daughter. I also have an interview today at 4:00 over at Desert Palms in the Daycare! It's a fabuloso day. :)

Update.... sorta

I saw my Dr. today, and he gave me some meds to help me sleep (even maybe help me lose weight), and I'm supposed to take them the same time I take the Lyrica for fibromyalgia. He also said that it should help me to wake up "refreshed". lol that's really what he said. He gave me enough for 4 weeks, and then he wants me to go back in when they're gone.
So, we'll see.

Seriously, now...

It's almost 1:30 in the morning, and I can't sleep. Last night, I didn't get to sleep until almost 3. I don't drink that much caffeine (spelling?), so I'm hoping it's not my meds. They usually knock me right out. I have an appt with my Dr. tomorrow afternoon, so hopefully I'll get this fixed. I also hope that it doesn't mean more pills. I already feel like a flippen pill popper with everything he already has me taking! Sad, I know.
Poor me.
Just kidding. I'm not feeling sorry for myself. I do feel loopy though. Maybe that's why I'm typing this, even though nobody is going to read it for hours. Hmm... maybe I need help. Ice cream and chocolate are GREAT therapists!
Well... I'll go try again to fall asleep.
*Muah*
Good night world.

Hide 'n Seek

I passed my math final today, (yay, me!) so I was very happy when Kenna and I got home. It's been snowing all day, and Kenna wanted to go outside, but we don't have the warmest attire for her. So we decided to play hide 'n seek. It was going good for about 15 minutes, and then this was her last hiding spot! After I "found" her, she said she was tired and wanted to rest. I'm guessing that's why she picked the couch! It's been a good day! :)

New Table!

I got a table from the DI, and it's brand new! Lee helped me bring it home in his truck and we put it together. I've been using a black card table that Mitsy bought for me while I was in the hospital with Max, and it was awesome of her and very helpful. The chairs were starting to loosen and fall apart, so that's when I knew it was time for a new one.

Dicken's Festival!

Not the cutest, but at least she didn't cry!

Nora performed at the Dicken's Festival, so I went with Kaysha so that the kids could get their pictures taken. We also got one with The Grinch, but it's on Kaysha's camera. I'll upload it later when she sends one to me.

NFR

Lee and I went to the National Finals Rodeo out in Vegas on Friday, and we had a blast! It was my first time going, and his 23rd, so he had to explain everything to me.


Jake Owen sang on stage before it all started, and then afterward he did a free concert.

One of the guys bucking bronco. lol

Lee, me, Brandon, Jayleen, Frankie and Troy
