December happenings.....

December was a crazy fun time.  This post doesn't even include Christmas!  Warning....lots and lots of pics!

We have had so much fun getting to know baby Hudson. We love cuddling him.  He is such a sweet baby!

Callie and Hank get along pretty well for the most part.  Hank loves to do anything that Connor does.  He was having so much fun "playing" the Xbox!

Connor had crazy sweater day at school!  I love how his sweater turned out.

We had fun going to the Dewolf family Christmas party.  We loved getting to see sweet baby Hadley!

Having fun posing!

The girlies in their new Elsa dresses!

Alot of things have been going on with the house.  In December they finally finished the shingles on the roof.  They also got the wiring done on the inside and got exterior doors put on.  The most exciting thing is that they started bricking.  It looks so good!  I am so excited to see how its going to look all finished!

Ty and my dad dug a huge trench to run the water line.  They also did the septic system this month.  They have been busy with lots of pipe and dirt!  Its been an exciting and busy month!

Dance recital

Macie decided to do dance this year.  She had a dance recital in mid-December.  It was so much fun to watch.  She did great!  I was so proud of her.  She really is a great dancer.  I am so happy she decided to do dance.  Fun night!

Jr. Jazz

I am far behind in blogging.  Connor's jr. Jazz season ended mid-December.  It is always to fun to watch and see how much he has improved.  This year it was the real deal and so there was more focus on dribbling and not double dribbling.  It was a fun quick season!

Happy 4th Birthday Mckenna!!

On the 3rd Mckenna turned 4 years old!  She was so very excited for her birthday.  She kept asking me how many days until her birthday.  The Sunday before her birthday she received a card from her primary teacher.  She was so happy with that card.  The day before her birthday she received a card from granny in the mail.  She was so proud of her two birthday cards.

On her birthday she kept asking me when her party was.  She was singing happy birthday to herself all day long.  For lunch we met her daddy out at work and had lunch with him.  Finally it was time for her grandparents to come over for a party.

Everything seemed to be Barbie themed this year!  She got 2 barbies, barbie jeep, and a huge barbie house!  She also got a doctors set and some little dolls and ponies.  She was one happy girl and has played non-stop with her Barbie stuff.

For her cake she wanted Frozen (yes we have made 3 frozen cakes this year!).  She chose pink cake and pink frosting.  It turned out cute and she was very happy.

I love this sweet girl so very much.  She is a great big sister to Callie.  Callie tries to do everything she does.  She is smart, mischievous, sassy, and oh so lovable.  I am so happy that she is my little girl.  I love you Mckenna!!

5th Birthday in Heaven.....

On the 22nd of November we celebrated Collin's 5th birthday in Heaven.  I am always pretty much a mess on this day, but I tried to preoccupy myself so I wasn't a complete mess.  When Ty got home from work we took our balloons down to Meadow to let them go at our new house.  Callie was asleep in the car so that is why she is not in the pic with the other kids.  It was a super windy day.  We let the balloons go and mine floated slowly and low and the balloon got popped on a fence.  I was disappointed and it kind of ruined the day for me.  Not the way I had planned things to go.

I can't believe that after 5 years this day is still so incredibly hard.  I miss my baby so so much.  I would give anything in the world to have him back with me or to even be able to change the day that he was born and make it more special.  Obviously I still have huge issues with how things were handled that day and the lack of memorabilia I received.  I am pretty bitter about it as a matter of fact.  I have to really focus and try not to think about it often or it drives me crazy.

I am so blessed to have been given such a special little boy.  I know that the Lord needed him for something big and he must be an amazing spirit.  I miss him every single day.  This year I was a little jealous that he got to have grandma Frampton with him this year.  But I am so glad that he has my sweet grandma up there with him.  I love you sweet baby boy!!!!
