Insomnia

I have suffered from insomnia every now and again, but being pregnant, it has been at an all time high. It is so frustrating to lay in bed and feel so tired, but not be able to sleep. So I get up, check email, clean bathrooms, call Jeremy (thankfully he works nights!), listen to my kids talking in their sleep and so much more!

Last night was real bad so when the kids woke up this morning and I felt CRANKY, Dunkin' Donuts to the rescue! We headed to the gas station/donut shop before 7:00 so we could make it to the bus stop by 7:30 am. I admit, I hid my head when I saw a man from our neighborhood walk in... I mean, what mother in her right mind hauls her 3.5 kids to Dunkin' Donuts at that hour of the day?! Only one who is 9 months pregnant - less than a month to go!

Partners in Crime

Kenyon has searched and found a new partner in crime...

These 2 are often found raiding the pantry, pulling stuff out of cupboards, and splashing water all over the bathroom floor.

Bad news is the baby on the way doesn't stand a chance of not getting into trouble... he has two very good examples of naughtiness!

Those sweet faces could never be naughty!

Christmas 2010

We started off Christmas Eve by making Cookies for Santa

Kenyon was chuggin' the sprinkles

That evening we headed to Grandma Bev and Grandpa Gary's

Are they going after the pinata or Devin?!

The group shot (minus Grandma Bev the photographer)

Santa (or one of his helpers) delivered PJs to Grandma's front porch which meant it was time to get them on and get home to bed!

Christmas Morning

Later that night Nana, Grandpa and Aunt Tiffany came into town. I never take out my camera when they are here because Tiff is always snapping shots. I will have to get some from her to post!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Jer had a birthday and turned 32 last week. Since he is now working in Flagstaff, AZ during the weekdays, the kids and I loaded up the van and went to celebrate his big day with him.

First, they opened presents (Maya showing dad how to work his new harmonica she picked out for him)

Devin loved looking out the window at all of the snow

Then we headed outside to play in the snow

Had many snowball fights

Made snow angels

Went sledding

Got back in the car to warm up and watched him make his many cute faces for the camera



Lots of fun memories made! We sure miss having daddy around all week, but it was fun to take a mini-vacation to go see him.

Snow, Snow, Snow

Can't believe it snowed in Mesa, AZ. It was short-lived so I am just happy we noticed it and ran outside to enjoy it.

Devin did not appreciate the snow... or maybe it was because his parents didn't put shoes and socks on him.

These pics were also stolen from Aunt Tiff's Facebook. I might have some more to add if I ever get around to downloading...

Update

So much bloggin to do... Christmas, New Year's, snow in AZ, etc. Until I download pics, here are some I stole off of Aunt Tiff's facebook page showing me and my belly.

Yes, I am getting bigger... 32 weeks now and going strong!
