Christmas!

Sorry, it has taken me forever to document Christmas. This baby is wearing on me and I can't wait till he is out, 30 more days!!!. Anyways, we had a great Christmas. We went up to Mom and Dad Divis' house for Christmas Eve, we made candy trains which are my favorite Divis tradition. We also, went up for Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Divis', which I think is a wonderful tradition, and we love going. We were convinced to stay Christmas Eve night, because the roads were terrible and it was snowing like crazy. We were happy we stayed till morning, and got to spend the morning, watching Dustin and William, get very excited over their new Wii, which is pretty awesome. We got some great presents for the kids from Aunt Laura and Uncle Craig. Thanks again you guys, for the nerf ball shooter, for my very crazy little boy, luckily he isn't strong enough to pull the handle yet, so he just asks you all day if you will help him shoot you. We went home Christmas morning early, and James got to talk to his brother Jordan who is in the mission field right now in Brazil. It was a lot of fun to hear his voice. We then went home and had Christmas morning at our house, James Micheal was surprised that Santa knew to go to both homes, amazing how that guy works. Later that day, we had Christmas dinner with my family. My mom and dad brought the fried turkey, yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy!!!!! I have a deep love of fried turkey, it is so good, and not Christmas without it. Liam and James Micheal had a lot of fun together,and we had a fun time playing a game of, "Would you rather!" Which is a lot of fun. I only have pictures of Christmas morning at our house unfortunately, but we really had a great time and made a lot of fun memories. Oh yes, another fun highlight that I don't want to forget so I am writing down is James Micheal puking Christmas Eve at 2:30 in the morning. He ate way too many M&M's. Luckily he wasn't sleeping with us, but with William and Dustin. William was kind enough to clean it up and Dustin was kind enough to tell us what it looked like. What else can you think of that is brown and in a pile. James and I had a good laugh and went back to bed, and James Micheal was all better afterwards. We love are family and are thankful for the time we get to spend with you guys. Enjoy the pictures and Merry Christmas.Getting excited unwrapping a present.

Snow, Snow, Snow!!!

Well, we haven't been able to have a lot of fun in the snow, but James had fun shoveling the snow,well not really, but he did pose for some funny pictures.We got a total of about 2 feet, a record breaker. James Micheal then proceeded to follow him and try to strike a pose too. What a funny little guy. Enjoy the pics.

Finally Moved In!

Well James and I are finally feeling a little more comfortable in our house. We possibly moved on the worst day possible. But, James and I both had a lot of family and people from church come and help. I can't believe our 3 bedroom apartment, had enough stuff to fill a 5 bedroom house. The kids rooms are done, the kitchen, living room, TV Room,Guest Room, and Upstairs Bathroom, are all done. By done, I mean there are no boxes in them. The only rooms left are the downstairs bathroom, our room, and the nursery. The nursery is literally piled to the ceiling with boxes, which is driving me crazy, cause by now I usually have the baby's room absolutely clean sanitized, and ready to go if I had the baby tomorrow. All I can say is I am happy that we have a house, but man is there a lot to do! I had no idea how much work it is, and being eight months pregnant with two small kids, and moving in the middle of December was not the best plan, but it is the way the Lord blessed us to be able to have a home so we are grateful. Hopefully, all my stress will be gone soon, yeah right, that is all I am a ball of stress. Oh well, there is always retirement right?

Rocking and Movin'

Well, James and I are starting to pack everything in our apartment. Who knew a family of four could have so much stuff. Anyways, James Micheal really wanted a dog house, so his daddy built him one out of boxes. He sure had a fun time, putting all of his toys in there. He even ate his lunch in there. Makayla has also had a great time moving, but not boxes, on her rocking horse. Well, it is actually James Micheal's Winnie the Pooh rocker, but she loves it. She goes so far forward and back, I am afraid she will fall off, but she always self corrects, which is a great way for her to get some back and hip strength. We move next Saturday into our house, and there is still so much to do, but the kids are having a great time and making us laugh. Enjoy the pictures.

NINE POUNDS!!

So, I went to the Doctor yesterday, for my monthly baby appointment. And as he was measuring my stomach, he told me I was measuring about 2 weeks ahead. So, they are going to do another ultrasound, just to make sure they got the dates right. I told him I always measured ahead with James Micheal, so we will see. And then my doctor told me he doesn't forsee the baby weighing any less than nine pounds!!! I just looked at him, and said, "What, are you kidding me." So now, I must give birth to a giant baby. It kind of makes sense though. It explains why I can barely breath, can barely put my socks on, and why I feel like he is going to explode out of my belly button at any second. Oh the joys of being pregnant. Thank Heaven for EPIDURALS!!!

Our New House

Well, it is almost official, so I thought I probably couldn't jinx it. James and I are buying a house. We should be closing on December 9th, and hope to be moved in before Christmas. James and I are really excited to be able to have our own space, and I am excited for my children to have a backyard finally! The house has five bedrooms, two baths, and a great kitchen, and backyard. The outside really needs a little work, well, a lot of work, it is just a really ugly color, but the inside is newly remodeled and decorated well.
