Brockie was not thrilled that we had to wake him up Christmas morning at 9:00 AM are you kidding me my kids never sleep that good! What are the chances?.JPG)

The only cute one we could get! Why is it so hard to just stand there and smile?
I cannot believe that I really have been so behind on my blogging life? What is wrong with me? I want to assure you that we are doing alright!
As many of you already know.. Brock did FINALLY get his tubes put in on the 18th. It was a great day for us! He was seriously a perfect angel child that day! We took him in early in the morning and it went so fast. The surgery was done in like 15 minutes. The nurses and everyone had warned me that when he woke up he would be GROUCHY.... but to my and everyone elses surprise he was as happy as ever! The nurses could not believe it, they said that they hadn't ever seen a baby so happy. He was sitting up and when he saw me he said" Mama" and reached out towards me! Cute boy!
In all the rush of Christmas the next week was really a blur! I couldn't really pick out any defining moments to talk to you all about!Oh there is one funny thing to write about. So you know how you give out neighborhood presents. Well I thought this year I was going to be creative and come up with something new and improved to give out.. BACKFIRED! Trent and I spent a night hand dipping Strawberries in chocolate for our lovely neighbors to wish them a berry Merry Christmas. We went to deliver them the very next night and to our surprise ALL 12 pounds of strawberries had gone MOLDY. Luckily Trent thought to look at them as we were packing them into the car to deliver... or really you all would have thought I hated you or something! I tried! So if you didn't get a gift from us sorry! It is the thought that counts right? We had to just laugh at that point ... what do you do?
On Sunday the 21st we celebrated Christmas with my family at Guy and Cathy's house. Yummy food and good company! What could be better. This night as we are all gathered around the table chatting and eating, I hear my little Pierce's distinctive whistle from the top of the stairs. I run to see what he is trying to get my attention for and he yells down to me" Mama I have poop all over my hands!" I panic. My aunt and uncle house is new and I cannot believe my ears I scream for Trent's help and figure out that he had tried to go potty by himself. He was trying to be a big boy so I cannot punish him at this point. Luckily there was no poop anywhere else but his hands and toilet. HE simply forgot to use toilet paper!Needless to say we have had a discussion on the proper way to wipe!
IN a flash we were of to Boise, Idaho for Christmas. The roads were terrible. In fact as we are reaching Snowville we are informed that the roads are actually closed... Great ..just Great! Now what? We find a trucker to ask what to do. They know the roads better than anyone else right? We found the nicest, sweetest guy who offered to lead us out of the mess on a "secret back road". Turns out he was right and lead us straight though and was such a great person. we were a few hours late but made it there safely. Thank you! We really need more kind people in our world!How Thankful we were to that nice trucker. He gave us his card and said that anytime we were up that way to stop in and say hi!
We had a great trip there seeing so many family. Pierce was in absolute heaven. He loves his cousins.. in fact every night as they left to go home, he cried. He cried for all of them. It was cute. Brock had turned into the little show star and had every one in LOVE with him by the time we left. He really is so cute! We had a toy story Christmas filled with Buzz, Woody and Mr. Potato Head( Mrs. Matato head... that is how pierce says it.. funny!)They also got a tag reader, soccer goal( Brock loves to kick balls..he is very good at it, he also expects after each goal a little celebration from who ever is watching!), clothes, leapfrog toys... and games, movies and a whole lot more I am sure I am forgetting! needless to say we had a great Christmas!
While we were gone I also turned 26! I cannot believe that I am 26 what is going on! Trent tried really hard to make my day special I really have such a great husband. We had a cake and ice cream with all his family Saturday night and then polished it off with my favorite thing in Boise.. The Treat movie! I love that place!We drove home on my real birthday, which was fine.. Birthdays just aren't the same when you are getting older! When we were coming into town we stopped off at my cousins house who also celebrates the same day.. my grandparents were there. My cute Granny and Butch came and put a Happy Birthday Sign on my garage door! Everyone was so great! So funny that I also share my Birthday with 2 of my best friends Jamie and Tereasa. What are the chances of that? I hope they had as good as a day as me.Thanks for always being such great friends to me!
Sorry this is so long and no pictures.. I will have to do that later as it is late and I haven't figured out how to put them on yet with my new camera. I will I promise!

I'm so glad his little ears are feeling better. That is funny about the strawberries. I think it would have been really funny if you had delivered them :0)
Miss you already. It was so good to see you. You and T-bird are the funnest. Your kids are soooo cute. I can't wait to see Brock "jump" again. Glad you had an ok birthday. Yea for Treat Movie!!
So good to hear things went well for little Brockie. I was worried about how things would be. What a great Xmas. I don't know if you got my e-mail, but if you didn't I wished you a VERY HAPPY B-DAY. It sounds like your man took care of you.
you are not a slacker...we all are! I hadn't posted in forever too! I love the jammies your mom made! That turned out to be a cute picture! You had an eventful december! Good for you!
Wow! Sounds like you guys had a great Christmas! Happy Birthday-as always you looked so cute!
I'm glad his surgery went good. And Happy Birthday! I didn't know we were the same age. Not that it makes any difference after about 20ish
I'm so glad Block has his tubes in. They are wonderful things. I'm also glad you guys had a nice Christmas. Your boys look soooo handsome in their new church clothes!!!
