A white Christmas in AZ!

Christmas so much fun this year and no family fights were had!  Besides all the play fighting so that Ronnee would run in the room and split of the fight and yell at them. She does not like fighting or play fighting. She would lecture whoever was fighting tell them not to be mean. She would get really mad if anyone picked on her Hannah!

On our way down to AZ we stopped at the Listman’s for the night in Vegas to visit. Ronnee was so shy at first but you give her a few minutes and she was climbing in bed with Cleo and a book! She got spoiled rotten and she loved that she could hold the leash of their little dogs on our walk.  Sadly I was lame and didn’t even get my camera out. 

Wednesday after Tyler went golfing with Jeff we hit the road and made it to good ole San Juan before the storms hit. For the next few days it snowed and snowed. So we had a white Christmas!  Ronnee loved touching the snow and playing outside with the kids even though it was so cold! I myself stayed in the house with all the yummy food and didn’t even step outside to take pictures!

Christmas Eve we had a white elephant gift exchange and the rule was that it had to be something that you wore.  It was very entertaining to say the least! And after we opened them we had to go caroling wearing what we got.

My mom will kill me for putting this picture up here but good thing she told me she doesn’t read my blog. lol  We were all shocked that she put it on and went caroling!  Cant wait for next years!!

Later that night Tyler and Caleb went out in just the speedo’s and made snow angels. Hannah got pictures and I cant wait to see them!

My mom this year made all of us hats instead of pj’s. They are different and so cute. Ronnee wears hers around the house!

Ronnee didn’t really know or care about Christmas. So she helped put all the gifts under the Christmas tree on Christmas eve and even helped me wrap her gifts and left them alone. Christmas morning we woke her up and we went to the living room and she did think much of all the presents.  She did have fun ripping open all the gifts but doesn’t really care for them. Lol She doesn’t really like new things we are learning and thinks her baby alive is scary because it moves and cries. This all makes me laugh because all real animals big or small dont scare her at all but a baby doll does!

The kids all had a blast and I think they were all happy with what they got!

Church was really good and Ronnee didn’t even throw to big of a fit when we put the dress on her. She loved this little baby that is Ivy’s so they had a little fight during church over it. I should have thought to bring her a baby.

On Monday we loaded up the cars and went Tubing. It was really entertaining to watch.

Boys are not very smart and went down a really steep hill and they next day they could barely walk!

I am so glad I am prego so that I could get out of tubing! I prefer taking the pictures instead of getting injured!

Jake got these really cute blow up bouncy cows and Ronnee loved them. One night she stole Jakes hat and put on her heels and went for a ride!

And when you couldn’t find her and Ivy you would always find them playing with their babies and a blanket! These girls are way to cute for their own good!

It was so fun being home and watching Ronnee’s relationships with all my siblings and her cousins. If anyone said they were going to leave the house she would say “I’m coming, I get my boots”  I am sure they all got sick of the fact that she had to go everywhere with them. But she got spoiled rotten because she could boss them all around and they would listen!  Man I wish that we lived closer so I could ship her off to there houses for a few hours here and there to get a nice break!

We had such a fun Christmas and I think that next year Ronnee will enjoy it even more! She has yet to play with any of her new stuff but I am hoping with time she will realize new stuff is okay and fun! lol

25 Weeks down 15 to go!

1218111820a

Growing growing growing. I have already bitched about then in a previous post so I will refrain. Lol  I already love this little wiggly worm in my belly more then words. I  stress about knowing if I am going to be a good enough mom and if he/she is going to love me!  I worry about everything that goes in my mouth and how I sleep and everything because I want to make sure to have a healthy baby!    But for now just keep on wiggling so I know you are still alive and strong and I will continue being your incubator!

Random side note!

My little sister and I were talking and I was talking about how I cant figure out how to parent Ronnee when it comes to discipline and she replies “I dont know how to parent” and I said neither do I. I dont think anyone honestly knows how to parent. It is all trial and error with all kids and you just got to hope and pray that you figure it out with each kid before you go crazy!  I am currently in limbo with Ronnee and I hope we figure something out soon!

Santa…. I KNOW HIM!

1217110845  She went from smiling to straight fear as soon as she saw the sweet old man! She hated it as bad as last year! Not sure why the guy is so scary to her but maybe one day she will come around!

She is so funny and easy when it comes to Christmas this year. It is so nice to have a kid that doesn’t touch the tree and all the decorations. And when it comes to gifts… she helped me wrap all of them and so she knows what is in everyone and doesn’t touch any of the gifts!  When we were wrapping them she told the baby bye bye and put the paper over it. It was so funny!  I hope that doesn’t mean she isn’t going to like them! lol  She is at a fun age for buying gifts and yet we really haven’t got her much poor thing! But I am thinking she will be content with whatever as long as she has her baby, a pillow, and her purse!

Today's thoughts...

Funny thing is I am in a pretty good mood but I was thinking about things that really bug me so why not blog about it and then maybe I can stop thinking about them....
First I have this weird annoyance to people using Xmas instead of Christmas. No offense to anyone but I just hate that thought of X ing out Christ. After all he is a major part of this Christmas season. And seriously it doesnt take that much longer to write Christmas! lol
Second I really hate the gaining weight part of pregnancy. I know I know I am growing a baby and so that is a part of it but seriously. I am not a skinny person to begin with and it takes a lot for me to lose weight so I hate when I have to watch the scale go up! And to go along with that I hate the lucky people that dont have to workout really and can eat whatever they want and still dont gain that much weight when they are pregnant and if they do it just falls off of them right after they push the kid out and nurse their babies! I really wish I were one of those people and I know I have months before I even push this kid out and start the process of losing all this weight and trying to get some body confidence back but these are the kind of things I think about!! But while the scale continues to go up I will continue to do my best at doing some form of working out everyday and watch what I put in my mouth! So on a happy note I played the kinect for and hour today while the kids napped and when Tyler gets home I am going to go on a nice walk ALL BY MYSELF!!!
Not sure if I dig being pregnant around the holidays with all the yummy food! Sad news tho this baby gives me heart burn all the time but especially when I have any soda which really sucks but even worse when I eat cookies and chocolate! Not sure I am digging any of that but maybe it is trying to help me from eating to much and gaining even more then I already am destined to! lol

But I really do love the thought of a wiggly little baby inside me and it worth being fat! I just cant wait to be done having kids and getting some nice work done on my belly! POOR TYLER!

Fun Weekend

Friday night we watch the Adam’s girls so the parents could enjoy a date night. Ronnee loves when they come over! They stayed busy playing doctor on Tyler and decorating cookies and to finish the night we watched “The Grinch” and had candy. It was pretty cute to see all 4 girls sitting and watching the movie.

Alma and Callie are such sweet girls and really help the little girls so much!  Thanks girls for the fun night!

Saturday Morning we woke up and got ready and the Adams family came over for breakfast then we all loaded up in the car and drove to Virginia City to go for a train ride on the Candy Cane Express!  Ronnee and I had never been on a train ride so we were pretty excited!  It was an hour long ride and they served us Hot Chocolate or Cider and Cookies! They also had one of Santa’s elves come around and get our Christmas wish so he could tell Santa! The girls had a lot of fun singing songs and playing along with the entertainment. Overall it was  a really fun time! I hope to get to take Ronnee on the Polar Express one of these years!!
