Crazy, Crazy, Crazy.... but great!








Well, I guess the holidays are coming to an end around here. I must say it has been a very fun holiday season for us, but as the title states its been crazy. Good crazy though. Let's see.... my kids were super sick for two weeks. Yes, both kids super sick. Luke got his first antibiotic ever, I was sad because for some reason I saw my sons incredible health as an accomplishment. Ella was sniffly, then stopped, then Luke got a horrible cough and fever, then Ella followed with the same thing, only one day behind. I ended up taking both kids back the next week, and Ella's turned into a double ear infection! My poor munchkins.
So they were sick for two weeks, then just as they got better, we had a Christmas party at our house. It was a blast. We had a bunch of our friends and their kiddos there. We really enjoyed it and feel truly blessed to have such a great group around us.
The party was Saturday, then on Monday Jay's grandmother, "Granny Kay" came to visit. This was a surprise and we were very excited for her to come!! She made the kids some adorable Christmas gifts. For Ella she made this awesome rag doll and an outfit to match complete with red shoes. It was the cutest! For Luke she made him a cowboy outfit. Chaps, a vest, she bought boots and even a stick horse. He loved it, and looked absolutely adorable. We really enjoyed having Granny Kay in our home and look forward to more visits from her.

Here goes....

Ok, so I have been viewing all of the blogs of my friends and others and thought they were adorable! I decided I would take a crack at it for myself. I am not so sure how to do this, so I am just going to do it. I really enjoy sharing fun things about my family with others, and I love reading about their adventures too. My family is my number one priority these days, so I just thought I would share some of what goes on with us. We are so blessed to have two beautiful children, and a happy home.
With the beginning of this new year we have Luke at school two days a week, at St. Laurence Catholic church. He loves going, and enjoys playing with his friends there (mommy enjoys the time off too). Luke also has soccer practice once a week and games on Saturday mornings. This is hilarious! Luke loves soccer, just not the games. He is doing great though, and we love going.
Jay is well into his "civilian" job, and loves it. He is really doing wonderful, which is why he works a lot! The traveling is crazy, with places like Dubai, Aberdeen, and Singapore, but it is a heck of a lot better than year long deployments! We are very proud of him, and I am grateful to be allowed to stay at home with the kiddos.
Ella is fabulous! She is getting so big, which I am in denial of because I keep buying her clothes to small (we went to the zoo when she was 8months old and I bought her a 6month size tshirt). I guess I am just not ready to have two big kids. She is crawling all over the place, and loves standing. When she stands up, she is so happy until she realizes she doesn't know how to get down. Check out her new stand up toy! On a side note, you will never catch Ella with out a bow on top. I took her out at St. Patricks day when she was only a few months old, and she was called a boy. I vowed it would never happen again, so she has been a "bowhead" ever since.
Well, I have babbled enough for the first one of these. Let's see how long until I actually do another. :)
