I really love Christmas but I am SO glad it's over! We were busy going to and fro and my house is a wreck. We opened presents then left immediately to go to Uncle Mike's. We had such a good time seeing everyone and loving on the new little babies! We came home that afternoon, unloaded the car and Connie came over to watch movies with us. She stayed until Friday afternoon. We actually got 6 movies in this year. We watched Miracle on 34th Street (the old one), It's a Wonderful Life, Home Alone, The Bishops Wife, Christmas Vacation (my favorite) & A Christmas Story. We usually end up falling asleep over at her house and only get in 3. This year we did it at our house....hopefully we can keep doing it that way.
Saturday we got up and I baked 2 cakes and did some laundry. Then we got ready and went out to Grandma Connie's to have Christmas with them and celebrate her birthday. We had a great time visiting with family that came up from Dallas.
Yesterday we got up early and drove to Weatherford, OK to meet my Mom. She took Brayson and Trevor back to Amarillo with her. She dropped Trevor off with his mom and has Brayson for a few days. They are having a blast. She took him to see The Tale of Despereaux today and then he will go visit my Dad's side of the family tonight. My mom just called while I'm typing this and told me that he is riding his skateboard up and down a ramp. I told her if she breaks it, she buys it (refering to Brayson)...hehe!
On our way back from Weatherford, we went and ate at Abuelo's in Bricktown (OKC) to celebrate my birthday. I've never been down there. It's really a nice place to visit. Then we packed it on up and headed for Tulsa. We got home aroun 7 last night. We tried to watch a movie and I ended up falling asleep with Kyleigh on the couch.
Kyleigh was such a good traveler! She slept both ways. I prefer she not sleep so much but what can ya do when a baby hasn't had a good nap in 4 days do to all of the Christmas shinanigans.
Kyleigh had to have her 2mo. shots today. Good thing Daddy was off work so he could take her. Mommy does not do well with that at all! Jason said that she did really well! We are glad that the boys are gone for a few days so we can bond with her a little more. She is really starting to coo so much. This morning she woke up around 5 to eat. Afterwards she just layed there and made the loudest sounds. Although they were cute, I really wanted to catch that last hour of sleep....that didn't happen. As soon as I fell asleep, Jason was poking me because I was snoring so loud. As a result of that, I didn't ever fall back into lala land.
Have a Happy New Year!!!!!

It's been a LONG while
About 2wks ago, right before I came back to work, I had a this long blog typed up and was uploading pictures when I had to run out and take Brayson to school. When I got back Jason was sitting at the computer and I realized that he had closed my window....Oh, I was so ticked but I forgave him :) So now I'm going to post just a few pictures and hopefully catch you up on what's been happening.
Let's start with Thanksgiving. My Mom, Grandma and sisters came and we had a wonderful time. I was so happy that we didn't have to travel with our new bundle of joy!
I started back to work and this is the start of my third week. All is going well! And to tell you the truth, I'm glad to have the break. Most of my maternity leave was spent (obviously) taking care of Kyleigh, working from home, taking care of the house, running Brayson to and from school (at 12:45 and 3:30), picking up Trevor and finally making sure I got a shower everyday. It was nice to be home but I am really glad to be here at the office. I could stand being a housewife if I didn't have to work from home and got myself on an easier schedule. Kyleigh is doing very well at the sitters. They just love her to pieces. I'm so glad to have such wonderful caregivers for my children!
This past Saturday we attended the Wood family Christmas get together. We really had a great time! The kids got to see Santa and little cousin Easton was quite the hoot when it came time to say the prayer before we ate! Brayson and Easton had such a good time playing together. We got to see little Cale who is now 3 months old! Kyleigh finally wore her John Deere boots and they are too cute for words!
Today is our WSA Christmas luncheon. Guess who was supposed to go by and get the ham? Oh yeah, that was me. And guess who forgot to go get it this weekend....oh yeah, that was me too! I feel like such a loser. But we can all laugh at my expense later. It won't be the first or the last time and that is a fact!
So Christmas is this Thursday. I can't believe it is here already. I don't have all of my shopping done yet. I usually have it all done before December gets here but we had our hands full with a new baby and I just didn't plan ahead. So I'll be out with all of the crazies doing last minute shopping. We usually don't wrap until Christmas Eve due to curious little minds so that won't be much of a change. I just hope I'm able to find some decent wrapping paper still!
Kyleigh is going to have her 2mo. checkup tomorrow morning. Oh, how I dread that appt! I can't stand to be in the room when the kids get shots. I tear up and try not to cry but I always do when the nurses leave the room. I just hate them! I wish they could combine them all into one hefty shot instead of poking them 3 or 4 times. She had to go see the doc two weeks ago and weighed 10.2lbs and was 22in. long. I'm interested to see what she weighs now that she's chunked up a bit. I searched and searched for her Christmas gift and finally stumbled upon the cutest thing. I wanted to get her a keepsake since she really won't be able to play with anything just yet. And also something that I could continue to get her year after year. I ended up getting her a 12" Precious Moments Mommy and Me doll. After this year I can start to get her collectible figurines. I'm so glad that I have a little girl now that I can get things like that for.
Brayson is on his Christmas break from school and he is terribly sad about it. He does not like to take a break. He absolutely loves school. He's starting to get used to these little breaks but when they had their first long stint from school (fall break), he would cry and assure me that he WAS having school today. It's so cute to see them so eager about school! He is very excited about Christmas this year. He really wants a grey football....he's cheap! But he does want a couple of other things but they are pretty simple as well.
Trevor is doing just as well. He, of course, is starting to want more expensive things like an iPod, laptop, Xbox 360 and such, all of which he is not getting. I insist that he is only 10 and will not be carrying around $1000 dollars worth of electronics. And he wants a cell phone...I'm not about to give a 10yr old a cell phone. I see all of these kids his age with them and it drives me nuts! I know that this is the "digital age" but that just chaps my hide to see these youngsters with phones. He is getting MonsterJam tickets though and he will be so thrilled! He loves monster trucks and watches the shows about them. I can't wait to see his face!
We will be going over to Uncle Mike's for the Christmas Day gathering. I can't wait to see all of the babies together! Lots of picture taking!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL..............
