On The Twenty-Fourth Day Of Advent We Celebrated Christmas Eve with Scott's Family

By
Even though Meadow had already had breakfast she wanted in on our French toast for second breakfast. What a little hobbit.

She is a short stack after all.

I didn't even bring any of Meadow's toys along because I knew she wouldn't play with them.

Most of the day we prepped Christmas Eve dinner. First task was whipping together some rolls.

The girls got dressed up for Christmas.


Even baby Cameron was festive.

Newborns always scared me. I thought that would have changed after having Meadow, but seeing one again, nope. 

I felt so certain holding Meadow, but I have to agree with Brooke. Now I know why my dad seemed hesitant to hold Meadow when she was a month old.

Grandma Tuska had a blast snapping pics of her grandbabies.

Simone found a new seat.


I love this little gal.

Ham, roasted brussels, homemade rolls and sweet potatoes. Oh and spinach and roasted beet salad.

Meadow's eating habits go in strange patterns. Last week she was on a hunger strike and this week she is eating everything. Well except for the sweet potatoes. She wouldn't eat those until her cousin started stealing them off her plate, then she realized they must be okay.

Simone pretty much only ate the sweet potatoes.

Cameron stuck to napping. No solids for a while.

After dinner the kids opened their gifts. We got Simone a pounding bench and Cameron a new book.


Meadow got some new clothes.

All the grandbabies got blankets and PJs from grandma and grandpa.


Meadow was all like, "Let me show you how this is done", while nearly missing Simone's fingers.

 I can't wait until Cameron is running around.


We all had spiked egg nog after Simone went to bed. Well not mom. My dad went straight to bed after drinking his. The booze must've gotten to him.

Meadow's new word is "Ew". After Cameron spit up Meadow kept saying ew to him.

Broken Bones and Labor Day

By
As you can see I am wearing a sling. Why you ask? Well it all started Thursday morning when I being the nice person that I am decided to help out Scottie and his roomates move into their new house. Everyone had gone back to their old house to get more stuff and I stayed behind to finish unpacking things out of my car. I was walking back to my car and thought it would be faster if I went in between a trailer and a van. Being the clumsy person that I am I somehow tripped in the process, ripping my jeans as well. Not thinking I had broken my arm I continued to carry things into to the house. My arm did hurt a little, but I thought it was no big deal. I had to leave for work. When I got home I noticed a huge bump on my elbow, I became worried at this point and called my mom. She said it was probably just bruised. I put ice on it as I was driving, when I got to the mall I saw the bump had gotten bigger. I was really concerned now so I thought I would go to first aid and see if someone the

Sushi Sunday Returns

By
Today I woke up before Scott and surprised him by making big pancakes. I was so excited, but I had to take a quick shower first. He didn't know I was making breakfast and woke up too late. He had to scarf it down before heading to work. I'm not going to complain that Scott had to work on a Sunday again. Yea it sucks, but I need to be more thankful that he has a job. It may not be the best he's had or the worst and the pay isn't phenomenal, but life isn't always fair. Instead of dwelling on the things I don't like I need to be more happy about the things in life that are great.  After he left I spent time on-and-off working on this puzzle. It's a lot easier to see the many colors when the suns out. I think I found about 3 more pieces.  Then I ordered more seeds online . Last year we figured we had enough, but then we realized we really want to grow kale and chard and popcorn. I know it's a little early to be getting excited abo

Mexico 2020 - Guanajuato

By
While planning our Mexico trip Scott discovered a city "nearby" that he said looked cool. He originally told me it was like an hour away.  I think I said a few hours away, but maybe. Except when we got our bus tickets it was actually 6 hours.  Sometimes you need to take a journey for a good adventure. Or something. We picked up this model bus for Theo at the bus station. Also he's claimed the Frida backpack.
