A sledding we will go......

Argorn was invited to his friend Noble's birthday party today, and he had a blast!! He got to go sledding for the 1st time ever, and didn't have a single problem with it at all. He's a natural!! After coming in from all the fun, he enjoyed hot cocoa and cake. We had a very good time helping Nobel celebrate!! I just wish i could have gone sledding too!!

We hope you are all well

Aragorn sledding for the 1st time

It is with a heavy heart.....

That I share this news with you......

Nikki has been diagnosed with metastic breast cancer. There is no cure, it can only be treated. I have no speech for how i am feeling at this time. I can only hope she knows I love her and i am here if she needs me.

Happy Birthday Rohan!!!

WOW, it's been 2 years since our pudge joined us on this crazy adventure we call life, and I have to say it has certainly been more fun with him!! Rohan helped mend our little family, and learn to truly appreciate each other. He has grown so much this past year. He is so much fun to watch, and talk to, I know Salli is with us every time i look at Rohan. His facial expressions and lack of fear show me that she has a sense of humor!! He will talk your ear off if you let him, and his favorite phrase "Know how?" which means, he doesn't know how, and needs help. He loves to climb, and play with trucks and dance!! Just some things about Rohan

• Elmo is the coolest EVER!!


• Mickey comes in a close 2nd


• Cereal eaten from a zip lock baggie is better than anything else, well, maybe not


• Hot dogs


• If it is a high surface he can jump from, he will try


• He loves to be outside


• Prefers clothes (unlike his brother)


• Eating his is favorite pass time, followed closely by tormenting his brother.


• For now he is his momma's baby, preferring me over Eric (which is just fine with me, as Aragorn prefers Eric right now)


• Everyday is a new adventure with him, he learns something new, and keeps us on our toes

So here's to new discoveries, new adventures and all kinds of fun in 2010. Happy Birthday Baby bug!!!

Pink Ribbons.....

As i stated in a previous post. My sister Nikki has been diagnosed with breast cancer. It is my understanding that the cancer has spread to the bones in her back, so now she must also battle bone cancer. She was supposed to have total lymphoid removal, unfortunately that never happened as she developed a staph infection and had to be rushed back to the hospital. She is back at home now. I understand they did a bone biopsy on her back, and we hope the cancer hasn't spread. Breast cancer is curable, bone cancer is not. They should have results in a week. I ask you to keep sending prayers up. She needs all you can give her.

Happy 2010

Wow so much has happened this year it seems impossible to keep up. We begin a new decade tonight. I look back and see how much things have changed this year. The kids i knew when i was just a kid myself will graduate this year making them 17 & 18. Aragorn celebrated his 4th birthday this year, and Rohan will be 2 tomorrow.

So much to look back on.....1st trips to the zoo, meeting up with my dancing teacher and her daughter for lunch (it's been a year again), Pink eye high fevers, blizzards in April, Easter clubhouses, The loss of dear friends (RIP Bill & Mr. Miles) perfect fathers day, fun camping, tornado's in June, 1st Bar Mitvah, 1st time at the reservoir, getting Aragorn 100% potty trained, saying goodbye to pets that completed our lives, joining the Edge church and allowing god into our lives, new tattoos, living dinosaurs, new grills, and car accidents, 5 year anniversary celebrations, long lost friends found again, museum trips, more zoo trips, fencing try outs, cancer showing it's ugly head once again in our family, getting laid off, gingerbread houses, indoor fireplace, Christmas eve party's, new jobs.......and Squeals of happiness!!!

Really, 2009 wasn't that bad, but i say SO LONG 2009.......Bring it on 2010!!
