{Happy New Year Christmas}

We went to Mimi and Papa's for New Year's breakfast and to finally open our Christmas presents. Dillon was very interested in the boxes this year

He opened all his boxes, some of brother's and some of mommies
Cooper opened a box
but he did not care to open any more after he found the JD tractors. I love this picture of Dillon standing on the box trying to get the paper off. C did not let go of the tractors and he did not want D to touch them




D was super excited to show us how to turn the tree on and off

Merry Christmas



and



here's to a



happy



healthy



2012!!

{Cooper's Christmas}

Cooper woke up from his nap Christmas Eve just not feeling good. He had a fever and seemed to be breathing hard, so he spent the afternoon laying on the couch watching Wall-E. Mommie and Daddy were worried so we called our doctor who gave us some instructions to try and help him feel better. In the middle of the night when he did not seem to be getting better Mommie drove C to the hospital. After they took some pictures of C's chest they told us he had Pneumonia. The doctor decided to let C stay at the hospital to make sure he gets better. C slept and slept and slept
Aunti Rara brought him some of his Christmas presents when he woke up and I think this made him feel better

C was getting special medicine and it was slowly making him feel strong again.

When he slept he had to have help getting oxygen, so the nurse put a special tube in his nose, he hated this tube! Lovie or "woof" did not leave his side.

Aunti Jules sent special feel better balloons and they worked too

Rara came everyday to make sure C was getting better and to help take care of Mommie and Daddy

C had special breathing treatments where he wore this vest that helped him feel better and helped him breath easier, he liked it!

Mommie stayed by Coops side but C was the brave one getting stronger and stronger every day

C was feeling much better by the fourth day, smiling, playing and asking to go home. The doctors made us stay one more night to make sure he could breath all night long without the help of the oxygen tube.

Once C slept all night with out help from the oxygen they let us lead up our wagon and go home!
Although this was not where any of us wanted to be this Christmas, it was the best place to help C feel better. We are so thankful for all our family and friends that offered to help and most importantly prayed for Cooper during this time. It was very scary, but God healed Coop and made him strong and happy again. C was so brave.


It is times like this we truely remember the true meaning of Christmas.

{Christmas Train}

I wanted to start a new Christmas Tradition, riding the Polar Express. So we put on our pj's and headed to the train depot. First there was a show of Christmas music
then we got to ride the train! The boy's loved it!!

"wooooooo..."


then Santa came by

and gave all the kids their own Christmas bell

their were carolers on the car too and Mrs. Clause came by to wish us a Merry Christmas





It was so fun, but I think C had more fun pushing and pulling the big wagon with Papa...

{Thanksgiving Part II}

I am thankful for Dillon's perfect smile
I am thankful for the sound of kiddos in my house

I am thankful for family, friends and football

I am thankful for a husband who is a kid at heart and the best father to our children I could have ever prayed for.

I AM THANKFUL.

{Thanksgiving Part I}

To show our thanks for Aunti Rara we went to the Turkey Trot this morning to support her. She did the 10 mile race and we were there to cheer her to the finish line! (that's Rara in the pink)
Cooper played in his first bounce house, he choose the BiG one, not the small one.


He climbed all the way up on his own and loved the BiG slide

they got to ride the ponys

and talk to the animals at the petting zoo

Dillon was not happy to know this was his dinner tonight.

We love you Aunti Rara and can't wait to cheer you on at your next race!! We are very thankful for all your help and love through out the year.
