This Week

Randy started a new job.
Randy spent most of his week away on business.
It rained ALOT!
Rhett and I stayed home ALOT!
We read ALOT of books!!!
We made cookies.
We had to get out so we went to the mall play place.
Turned out that was a bad idea.
Rhett ended up with pink eye!
We stayed home some more.
After coming home from his business trip Randy took off for a previously planned boys weekend.
He went to Big Bear.
There was TONS of snow!
He tried snowboarding for the first time since he "broke" his ankle.
It has been 3 years.
Randy made 4 runs down the mountain.
It hurt bad!
He called it quits for the day.
His favorite hobbie, perfect conditions, watching others and sitting it out.
My heart broke for him.
Rhett's pink eye is no longer contagious.
I am taking antibiotics with him.
I SOOO don't want pink eye.
This week wasn't horrible.
But could have been better.
Hoping next week is better.

Rainy Days and Warm Cookies

Growing up I remember making cookies with my mom on rainy days. The last few days it has been raining like crazy here so I decided Rhett and I needed to carry on the tradition. We made cookies together today after lunchtime. He really enjoyed it! He poured all the ingredients in and would pretend to keep pouring after I put the caps back on. He helped stir as well but preferred the ingredients instead.

29th Birthday

My 29th Birthday . . . I can't believe it, only one more year until 30! It was a great day! Randy didn't have to go into work until the afternoon so he and Rhett went and got me a bagel for breakfast. My mom treated Rhett and I to lunch and we did some fabric shopping. Lastly, Randy's mom watched Rhett that evening while Randy and I went on a date to dinner and a movie. It was such a nice day. Here's to another year!

Happy New Year 2010!

Although 2010 didn't start off all that great, (Rhett and I both came down with the flu New Year's Eve), I am hopeful for the new year. 2009 was a rough year for our family. We had a number of challenges and even our blessings seemed like challenges, stretching us to our limits forcing us to grow. Good but so hard to endure at times!! Although difficult we are grateful for the events of the year all the things we learned and the blessings we were given. That being said I am not sad to say goodbye to 2009 with all the surgeries, injuries, recoveries etc. Here's to 2010! A new year, with new possibilities and fun memories to be created!
Happy New Year to all our friends and family! We hope that 2010 is a wonderful year for all.

Christmas 2009

Christmas was so much fun this year! Rhett was so excited to see all his presents and had so much fun playing with them all day.
Mom and Dad gave him his Cozy Coupe Car that he LOVES! He sat in it all morning waving "bye" to us.
Later we went to Noni and Papa's (my parent's) where he got a train. You push the pedal and it goes around the track. He hasn't quite got the hang of the pedal so we put a piece of duct tape on it to hold it down and he was thrilled! I think he got a little dizzy from going around so many times!
Lastly was Nana and Grandpa's house (Randy's parents). He got a lawnmower!! Rhett LOVES lawnmowers. Ever since he could sit up he would sit in his stroller and watch Randy mow the lawn. Randy can't wait to mow the lawn now so Rhett can follow behind with his own mower. He will love it!
The whole day was so enjoyable. Watching Rhett's excitement and being with all of our family.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is at our house. We ate homemade soups, bread and salad. After dinner the Dads took the kids to look at Christmas lights while the Moms cleaned up the kitchen. When they got home the kids put on their matching jammies and we ate warm cookies while we read a Christmas story. It was such a nice evening.

Tongue Tied No More

Rhett's surgery went well. He was out for a total of 10 minutes. The doctor said everything went well. The only struggle was coming out of the anesthesia! He was a bit grumpy! Can't blame him, that is such a weird feeling, especially when you don't understand what is going on. He screamed! And screamed some more, and some more! He would scream that he wanted something. We would give it to him, he would scream. Once we got home, he was a little calmer, ate a bowl of oatmeal and then went down for a long winter's nap. He has been fine ever since.
The doctor said it would be about a month before he gets the hang of what to do with his tongue but he doesn't anticipate any issues.
