Pictures-

Here's a lot of pictures that I took a couple months ago to put on my blog so here you go:





This is the entrance into our neighborhood and a pic of our house:

There's a whole bunch of trains here in Denver and lots of coal trains!!

Phoebe got her nails painted bright pink and had some new sexy sandals!

Our Rec Center

Here's the buffalo on the way to Georgetown






I've learned how to knit hats and scarfs on a loom and I love it! It's so awesome and here's a hat that I made for Phoebe. Cait, our neighbor, taught me how to make them and she made the scarf to match this hat.

I've also created a family picture site on shutterfly but still have a lot of work to do on it. The link is on the right. I also have a bunch of our new pics on my facebook account.

Well it's been a long time since I've updated this but I've got to get to bed!!

Finish Strong!

I showed it to Phoebe and she wanted to watch it again, it was pretty cute!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Wow, I so can't believe that it's already 2009!! This is the first New Years Eve we've done something in the last 3 years, since Phoebe was born. I remember New Years Eve Dec 31 of 2005, I took a picture at midnight of Phoebe sleeping on top of Denzil on the sofa!! Jeff and Cait, our awesome friends and great neighbors, invited us over and we ate and had fun at their house until we went home and put the kids to bed and then they came over and we played games until midnight. It was lots of fun!! Thanks guys for having fun with us!!

My Wish for 2009

May peace break into our homes and may thieves come to steal our debts. May the pockets of our jeans become a magnet of $100 bills. May love stick to our faces like Vaseline and may laughter assault our lips! May our clothes smell of success like smoking tyres and may happiness slap us across the face and may our tears be that of joy. May the problems we had forget our home address! In simple words ............
May 2009 be the best year ever!!

Fin is almost fully recovered from his surgery and he did great!! Was a little grumpy while we were in Oklahoma the week after his surgery but that's expected.

I'm finally putting Phoebe in ballet here. She's been asking me for awhile to go to ballet so we'll see how she does. Since she's 3 1/2 she gets to go into the room with all the other little girls by herself, without me so hopefully she'll do a great job!

Eliott is talking a whole bunch more and his newest thing is "it's broke, mommy, it's broke" and he says it over and over. Yes Eliott I know it's broke, thank you for telling me!

We're going to go visit another church this Sunday, so pray we find a great one!!

I have also found another friend here in Colorado, her name is also Rachel and she has 2 kids around the same ages of Phoebe and Eliott and thought you'd enjoy this pic:

Finally Fin had his surgery

Well little Fin had his surgery yesterday morning and he's doing great so far. He is on 4 different medicines twice a day, some of them more than that, I'm having to change his diaper once an hour and we have to go back to the doctors office on Thursday morning at 7:30 am, which is about 45 minutes away so we'll have to leave at about 6:45 but other than that we're all doing fine. Before today he never crawled or even tried to move but today, the day after surgery he has started crawling and moving all around the living room. It's crazy how good he's doing after what he went through yesterday. I am so very thankful for that!!

Please Read:

Well I typed up a post that has lots of updates, etc. in it and it posted it under September 29...so scroll down a little and see new pictures and new stories. (I actually started it on September 29 but I just finished typing it on November 24)

Hope everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving!! I can't wait to eat all this delicious food...some of it I'm making for the first time...yummy!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Update...

Well no surgery for Fin today. All day yesterday he was totally fine and ate good and never threw up. Last night when he woke up at about 11:45 he was screaming his head off like something hurt really bad. He just kept screaming for at least 45 minutes, maybe more and there was nothing we could do to make him stop. Finally he started to nurse and then a couple minutes later threw up everywhere. Then did it again when he woke up at 3:15 am. Wow, so not much sleep for me last night and I'm really tired!!
We have gone threw the state of Colorado and are getting a speech thearpist for Eliott. She comes to our house once a week for an hour and works with him and she is so good with Eliott and has gotten him to say soooo much!! It's awesome how much he says now but he still has a long way to go to stop the whining and crying that he does. He'll now say "up" when he wants us to pick him up or when we're sitting down and he wants us to get up while pushing us. He says milk, more, dog, cat, you know all the generic easy things and just said for the first time yesterday Phoebe. It's so cute to finally hear him say her name. Two weeks ago he told Denzil for the first time "I love you" and that awesome to hear him say that. He's been saying "I want that" also. He's doing great. The speech thearpist said he wasn't saying anything because he's a perfectionist and wants to say everything just perfect...WOW-he is just like his father!! But there's absolutely nothing wrong with that!

Fin's surgery

Well on Sunday Fin got the same bug as Eliott and was throwing up. Projectile, out of his nose and everything...it was nasty. That's one thing I've never had to deal with is a throwing up baby. I took him to the doctor on Monday morning and they just pretty much said the "it's a virus, let it run it's course" talk.
I was afraid he wasn't going to be able to have his surgery tomorrow but turns out he was much better today. So the surgery is a go ahead for tomorrow morning...please pray that the surgery goes great and it's quick and painless.
I'll update tomorrow-
