Sorry it took so long but.....

I am still trying to find a place for everything and since i still have a job to do I can only do it at a certain pace so here we go.. Our christmas started Sat. when my Aunt and uncle came down to exchange gifts with us the kids had fun playing with them and i think they had fun playing with them.

Then sunday we always go to Honey's family. We had a good time. We ate a big dinner and then the kids opened gifts and then the adults did an elephant gift. I got movie passes that I had to steal. Then we took taylor home and Emmy was already with her dad. They always do christmas morning with them and we start about 1 or 2pm. I like it better like that!
So home we went to put these monsters to Bed so santa could come. HO HO HO! And sure enough when we woke up here is what he left. I loved the paper he chose.


Because we had to wait till 2pm I wanted the boys to enjoy a couple of gifts till the girls got home. and they did. Thanks santa for the noisey toys AARRGGHH!! but the Big Spideman was a hit.Hey guess what we?-9+6*-96+ recorded it on my Brand new digital video camera that i got.



Here are some of all the kids digging in after the girls arrived.



Hey do you think that they like spiderman :)




And Then the girls opened their big gift from Us not santa and look at the shock on their face in pic one and then look at the hug i loved it I cried to see them so excited. They got Phantom of the Opera tickets with new fancy dresses to go to the theater in :)


Then off to Dawn and Jasons for more gift exchange look how cute they got a kitchen and Emmy got a build a bear kit and chearleader stuff. It was fun we then had dessert. yummy Cheesecake !

Here the kids are testing out the toys the next day Emmy figured the skates out in like 10 minutes so proud!


I also got a sewing machine and a steamcleaner and radio that mounts under the cabinets. and lots more but those were the exciting stuff. I hope all of you had a wonderful X-mas we did sorry it is short and to the point but need to finish cleaning.
Oh a big thank you to So Shoik! I recieved a lovly package with a cook book and card and lots of goodies for the kids we love you and apprictate your kindness.

A few llittle things to say!

Well I made one more candy bouquet for my Honey's work and guess what they informed me to get ready for Valentines day.SIL already said she would help and we would split the profits. there are so many things you can so with the valentines ones and we could make kids ones as well this one went 360degrees it cost about 40 to make and the 2nd pic is the side view.I was very proud of this one and I think BFF will be proud too since she taught me how to make them to begin with.:)



Quentin has to have money in his pocket so maybe he will be a saver not a spender huh? he was showing me he found money and was going to put it in his pocket you should hear the way he says pocket it is too cute.

I was dooing dishes the other night after my house clear out and this is what I found. Mind you I just had finished cleaning this room the joys of have not only kids but twins right :)


Now for the hard part. Last night we got a package from my BIL and SIL in Idaho. In this package was 2 ornaments the same and on them they had the most beautiful saying and the backs were ingraved one for Evan and One for My Honey's mom who passed of cancer 3 months before Evan the same Year.In the box there was a poem and i would love to share it with you .
I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
on cold wintery nights
I still share your hopes
and all of your cares
I'll even remind you
to please say your prayers
I just want to tell you
you still make me proud
you stand head and shoulders
above all the crowd
Keep trying each moment
to stay in his grace
I came here before you
to help set your place
You don't have to be
perfect all of the time
he forgives you the slip
if you continue to climb
To my family and friends
please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you
in a new special way
I love you all dearly
now don't shed a tear
Cause I'm spending my
Christmas with Jesus this year
By John Wm. Mooney Jr.

I needed this bad and so did Steve. I personally am having a very hard time with my Sons death this year. I am grateful for such a precious gift I litterally felt like I got the hug I needed from him this year. That might sound dumb but ever since i got it my Pain is different i have been struggling daily with my emotions and I still am sad and fight tears but it is a differnt feeling now. I felt like he hugged me and told me don't worry I am here mommy and we love you. Me and Grandma. So Jason and Crystal thank you for sending me and Steve these ornaments. And thank you for a gift i needed so badly his reminder and his love in a more physical form THis has been a priceless gift to us both. We love you guys and our Turkey.

My Weekend!

Well First thing Saturday Morning This Beautiful Baby Girl Carlee Jean was Born. She is the daughter to our very good friends. I have yet to see her but my Honey went on Sunday while I was at work. Guess what I forgot my camera for the Christmas party at Honey's work but it was fun and Taylor won a box of 24 large cupcakes and they were YUMMY! and the Girls had a blast I am so mad that I forgot my camera. I was just so rushed.


Then Saturday night we had our Christmas with my dad. Emmy was able to give Ti Ti and my dad the presents she bought them as well as we gave our dad his gifts and then the rest are for Christmas. Here is TI Ti opening hers from Emmy.

My dad got chocolates from Emmy and a MP3 player from all of us I think he was happy!

Oh this is just a picture of what happens when I turn my back for litterally 3 minutes.Look behind him at the tape on the floor Quentin did that and Zachary did the floor and that is Q. just telling on him he was saying oohhhh trouble! bubba did it. funny but not at the same time thank goodness it was Emmys washable crayola markers and it wiped right up.

Then as much as I wanted to go to the Candle lighting last night I could not go this year. I got off work early enough but every time I thought about it I broke down. For some reason this year I am struggling with Evan's Death. Daily I well up and think about him. I miss him more then ever. I wonder if it is seeing the boys doing some of the stuff he did. Yes he was five when he died but he mentally was where the boys are now when he died. Sometimes when the twins say certain things I hear him I see him and I feel him. I litterally ached all over last night with the thought of lighting the candle and hearing his name read. So i tried to remain strong and thanks to my Honey I was able to.He held my hand and said whatever you want to do I am there to help you through it.We decided to go downtown to the outdoor ice rink that has been opened for Christmas only and that way if I was able to go then I would still be able to cause it was a block away form the rink but that did not happen and yes I cried some more watching emmy and Taylor skate and laugh and watching the boys be excited over the lights and Bells and everytime I let my mind relax I cried. I also was so thankful for the family I have been blessed with. Yes a huge part is missing but I feel like Evan has helped us find each other. His mommy is Happier now then ever and My children might be one less but I still strive daily to be the best mom That I Can be. I am going to His grave next week to decorate and that is our tradition. If you lit a candle Thank you. I thankful for my blogging friends and Family. Maybe next year I can go. This is the first year in 4 years that i missed going.So here are some pics of the girls Ice skating and the boys playing with their Daddy. Thanks to Taylor Emmy got he hang of it quick.She only fell 10 time LOL!


Do yo usee the bells around their necks well thanks to Polar Express (the choo choo movie) they love bells and will not take them off.
