Well, Christmas has come and gone in a blur of family, food, fun, and lots and lots of snow. It was fun and the girls had a blast. Christmas eve was kind of hard for us though, I had to work so Danny was a good sport and took the girls to Aberdeen with his family, they had dinner and sang Christmas carols, Kylee even had to lead the music for everyone just like mommy dose at church. After they got back to Blackfoot they came by and visited me before they went home. My family also spoiled me, since we weren't able to be at Grandpa Sandau's for our traditional Danish dinner my Grandpa made me a special plate and had Heidi and Sam bring it to me, it was delicious!! Christmas morning I got home from work at 7 and slept till the girls woke up at 8:30. We had breakfast at home then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Sandau's for lunch and then out to my mom and dads to open gifts. We went home for a break and naps and then went to the Georges for dinner and more presents.
Friday we cleaned up the after math and then Danny and I had the opportunity to go with his family to Mountain River Ranch for a sleigh ride dinner and music, it was so much fun, cold but fun. Thanks to mom and dad George for making it possible for us all to go and go kid free. It was a great evening. We even got to see somebody famous, the actor Gary Senise, (CSI New York, Forest Gump) was there having dinner with his family. We got a few pictures and Leslie even went up and got his autograph. I will post the pictures as soon as I get them on our computer but we had a great Holiday. The next few days are going to be a little rough I some how got scheduled to work 3 nights in a row which I have never done so we will see how we fair after Tuesday. Hopefully I will be recouped for the new year and our anniversary.

Wrapped Up

So we finally got our Christmas all wrapped Wednesday night. It has been sitting all bought in the basement now for two weeks and I finally brought myself to get it done with a little help from a complaining elf who took off to play basketball after about 6 packages. Oh well at least he helped right. I think we are just about ready we just need to get his parents gift card and my dads
gift but other than that everything is done, yippee. Well all I can say is this past week has been busy, Monday we had a doctors appointment with Dr. Larson, the baby's heart sounded great and he said everything looks good we go in today for our big ultrasound at the hospital. Danny also had a soccer game that night they won 5 to 3. Tuesday I had a dentist appointment then mutual we went caroling and I froze my but off. Wednesday we watched Kaylynn's kids why she went in for her first ultra sound, then we delivered our Christmas treats and then I went visiting teaching, then wrapped presents. Thursday/last night I worked. Today Friday we have our ultra sound and then the Christmas party for my work. I just hope the weekend will bring a little less business. The girls can't wait to go outside and play in the snow I just hope it will be warm enough that they will get the chance this weekend. Merry Christmas to you all!

Holy cow I am losing track of time!

So any way it has been over two weeks which is craziness.I have tried a couple of times to get on at work at get this thing up dated but every time I tried the internet was down here at work. So her we go for a quick recap. Thanksgiving was great we were with the Georges this year I made the contribution of pies, I made six of them from scratch, I used some apples and cherries that I canned and they turned out pretty darn tasty. We did our annual day after shopping trip we got some great deals and spent way to much money as always. We did however pick a little 2 year old girl off of our giving tree at church and got her some things also. We took the girls out later that day to help us get the finishing things for her gift and they had fun. The last few weeks have been busy going to Danny's soccer games and mutual and working. We did how ever manage to get the tree up the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Here are a few pic from this fall and from the tree decorating. The girls love being outside and they had tons of fun decorating the tree, it will be a miracle if it is still standing by the time Christmas gets here.

Playing catch up again

Well, it has been a little while since we posted to the blog, (sorry.) Anyways we have had some exciting news we had an ultrasound on Monday and we found out that we are going to finally be blessed with a beautiful baby BOY!!!!! Yeah!! We are excited, when we first found out Kylee was pretty mad, she told the doctor before he did the ultra sound that she wanted a Dora the explorer baby and when he saw it was a boy he told her we were going to have a Bob the builder baby, she just sat in the chair and glared at him. It was so funny. Danny didn't really say much but you could tell he was playing the very proud papa part. She is starting to come around, she is just excited that we are growing a baby. She can't wait to have someone to help take care of.

As for the rest of the month we have been staying busy with work and church and Danny has also started an indoor soccer league, so hopefully soon I will get some fun pic posted. I can't believe that Thanksgiving is this next week this year has gone by way to fast for me!!

Kay I also have a request I need tips on how to use your food storage for meals at home and also quick easy and meals. I have this great food storage but we struggle with ways and meals to cook at home. More often that not we end up eating out when we really don't need to because we can't come up with stuff to make that is fast and easy and edible. Please help us out any ideas are welcome!!

So I guess it is finally time to get things up dated again we carved pumpkins a few days before Halloween, and here are there costumes that I kind of made.(I made he skirts.) The girls were so excited to help clean out there pumpkins.







The girls both had to be the same thing for the costumes, fairy princesses.



These pictures are from election day, after we got home from voting kylee decided we needed to come pare baby bellies. My poor little girl looks like a little Ethiopian child that is starved she has me by a little bit but I am sure not for long. My belly is growing so fast already it is crazy.

Family pictures 2008

So here are some of the better family picture that we got for this year. Thanks to my mom for doing them for us for free. It is amazing the more people you add the harder it is to get a picture with everyone looking at the camera and everyone looking half decent. The girls had a fun time going down by the river and throwing in rocks. We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful place.
Thank you so much mom for sharing your talents with us!!!

Well its that crazy time between Sunday and Monday when I am sitting at work trying to stay awake and pass the time. I am not really sure what to blog about tonight other than give a few updates on what we have been up to.
Lets see I must have jinxed myself when I wrote on Thursday morning. I little while after I had posted to my blog I started feeling crappy and ended up losing my dinner. The rest of the night at work didn't get much better, despite the medication that I was given I continued to get sick. I received a shot before I went home to go to bed but as the morning progressed it got worse. Each time I got up to do something for the girls I ended up in the bathroom with the dry heaves. I toughed it out till about lunch time and stuff was not looking good so I ended up calling my doctor and had to go in to his office for IV fluids and more zofran. Thankfully after that things started to get better for me, but on that same evening Shylo ended up miscarrying again for the 4th time. Which really sucks, but evidently heavenly father has something else planned for her and marcus. After seeing the specialist on Tuesday she found out that with her complications and medical issues she has an 80% chance of miscarrying any pregnancy she has, which is not the best odds. So at this point in time I think they are going to see what they can do to pursue the adoption ave. I just hope that everything turns out for them in the end.

Needless to say I didn't end up working Thursday night and most of Friday was spent recouping. We did however go out to the Georges and canned apple sauce for our food storage.

Saturday Danny and I had the opportunity to sing at a baptism, then that afternoon we had my mom do our family pictures. It gets hard the more kids you add, kylee did pretty good but trying to keep Alexis' attention and get her to look at the camera was next to impossible. I hope we had a few turn out, Danny may have to work his photo shop magic. I will post them as soon as I go through and look at them more closely.

Today, Sunday I had the opportunity to start my new calling as Miamaid advisor in the young women's, while still doing my old calling as ward chorister until they find a replacement. Which provides plenty of business during church. I hope I can fit into this new calling and help the young women of our ward.
