Thanksgiving...one BUSY week!!

Last weekend we celebrated John's 6th birthday!!!

Hanging out in swimsuits the week of Thanksgiving....that's Arizona!!

Special potato flour cupcakes just for him!

Presents included hundreds of Legos, Magnet gears, Cartoons, Telescope, K'Nex, Coloring books, Dollars from the Great Grandmas! If that wasn't enough, we took John to Toys R Us to pick out a toy. He was WAY overstimulated with all the blessings. He almost fainted in the store and we had to carry him out. We picked a Spongebob WII game for him.

Thanksgiving came so soon. We celebrated with over 40 people around noon at Brian and Scottee's. Drove the quads, played volleyball, cousins had a blast!!

After hanging out with all of Adam's side, we went over to my Mom's for dinner. (Sorry, no photos...) We crashed on the couch after dinner, watching the Cardinals get slaughtered and reading the black Friday ads.

Of course, I had to go out on black Friday with my mom!! This is me at 5:15am...ready for the deals! Good time, Mom!!!

That night, Rich and Treslee's wedding dinner came...complete with singing and a delicious dinner from Famous Dave's!!





Saturday was the wedding (I'll get photos soon!). I managed to hobble pretty good on my sore toe all week. I also got a bit of bronchitis.

Did I mention I had finals for school on Wednesday too?


Here's a photo of darling baby Sam! Allison has been sick this week, but she's been doing a good job mommying while everyone is running around like crazy!

PDD-NOS Awareness

Here's the new blog I have been working on.

I hope for it to grow and become a helpful source for PDD-NOS.

Europe 2002

Adam and I went to Europe when we first got married. We spent a day in Paris. Sorry, I just took pictures of these photos...I'll have to scan them later.

I remember our day in Paris. I was newly pregnant with John and exhausted from all the walking around. After walking around the Louvre, Adam let me lay down on the grass to take a nap. He even slept too! Best nap of my life...best memory of Paris. BEST HUSBAND.

While walking through the Louvre we were able to see the Mona Lisa...hence the name of our dog.

Mona's Boyfriend

Mona has a boyfriend but she's a little mean to him.

She tore his head off the other night.

Last night she ripped his arms apart.

She also ripped all the stuffing out of him.

Talk about tearing some one's heart out....

Poor boyfriend.

Ever stub your toe?

Sorry for the gross foot shots. Time for a home pedicure! I jammed my toe on the vacuum last night. After dancing around the room screaming at Adam for leaving the vacuum out, I sat on the floor and cried. Something was therapeutic about crying like a little kid. I woke up with some bruising...but it hurts worse than it looks. The toenail is chipped up a little too. Poor Adam...he's been babying me all day.
