Ketchup, mustard and more

Last week, we lost our power for 3 days! :( We had to throw away all of our food that was in our refridgerator. It also damaged our floor because of the water from our icemaker.





We are dealing with insurance claims because of the food and our floor. Patiently waiting.....

Life is exhausting!

January has been a super exhausting month so far!

*My mom had her surgery at the end of December, which kept her in the hospital until January. She has been doing really well with getting around and learning how to do things. The hospital taught her many things to do, including playing on the Wii. :)









* Then we had snow days! We were out of work and played in the snow. But after awhile, we were definitely ready for it to go away. :)

An update since 2011 is closing in

I know that i have been an absolute slacker on the blog lately. Most of you that read this already know how much I have been dealing with. But for those of you that do not know, my mom has been having health issues with her foot since August 2010. She has been home and dealing since September. The doctors scheduled an MRI in November just to check on her foot(kind of routine like) and saw that the infection has been in her bone for sometime. :( It has eaten away at parts of her foot and ankle to where she can no longer walk on it. For her health and safety, they have decided to have surgery to have an amputation done below the knee. This will happen on December 28th.

3rd Birthday!

Kyra's 3rd Birthday was on November 6th. (boo on me for being behind) She had a great time at Chuck E Cheese until Chuck E Cheese came out to greet the other birthday kids. (Kyra was not having her party here, just a special trip with mommy and daddy) Once Chuck E Cheese came out, it was all over. Kyra was terrified! She does NOT like him at all!

She had a birthday party the next weekend. :) Almost all of her friends came. Kyra had a great time and loved all of her presents. Especially her bicycle from Grandma and Grandpa and her Belle doll from Aunt Connie! :)

Shutterfly Rocks!

I LOVE Shutterfly! They have fantastic products that I love to use. I have yet to find something on there that I do not like. I have had several great experience from Shutterfly! I purchased my husband a photo book for his birthday. He thought it was wonderful to have all of those pictures of himself and our daughter all in one place. I also used the photo cards last year and loved the designs! This years designs are just as great! I plan on sending them out to as many friends and family as I can. I love to send cards so this promotion is great for me! I also just purchased my daughters birthday invites from them this year. I love them and have gotten so many compliments on them! Now, they are posting a great promotion to recieve 50 free holiday photo cards! All you have to do is blog about it! I can definitely do that!

Pumpkin Patch 2010

We went to the pumpkin patch again this year. Kyra enjoyed it this year, since she was older and understood it more than last. We fed the animals, face painting, played on the playground and corn pit and looked at pumpkins. We had a great time!

I'm a slacker.....on the blog

I haven't updated this in almost a month.

My mom has been home from the hospital for about 2 weeks now. She seems to be doing ok. It will be a slow recovery with her foot and heart problems. Thank you all for your prayers. :) They mean everything!

Kyra will be 3, a month from tomorrow. :( Time has flown by! Where has baby Kyra gone???
