thanks giving









I am thankful for so many things!!!! My family helps me out with our house and these boys on a daily basis and without that help I'm sure I would be in a very large pile of laundry mixed with dirty diapers not showered probably sobbing............Kim always knows when I need a Tim's!!!! Nana and Dode come and help me get organized and Mahka can take over the yard work like crazy and help with the heavy stuff!! Max & Grady's Pa's are there to let them escape this sometimes crazy house and Grama Pink stops by to let me escape from this sometimes crazy house. I'm thankful for our whole family I can not imagine living anywhere else!!!!! We are thankful for our friends!!! We have so many!!! They are always up for reminding me I'm still "me" even when I'm deep in mommy ville........it usually ends with Jenny 2 many coming out but its great to know I'm still me, I will never grow up!!! I will always have a good time no matter where I am (yes I have had fun at the National Hotel!) as long as I'm with my friends and family it doesn't matter. I am so thankful for my beautiful friend Lindsay she has changed many people this last while with her outstanding attitude and her outlook on life once you read her most heart melting words you will know what I mean!! http://www.lindsay&phay.blogspot.com/ . I am so crazy thankful for my boys!!! They are the most amazing human beings in the world I am not just saying this as their mom anyone that has spent time with them knows this!!!! There has been so many days where I've gotten overwhelmed and been in a horrible mood (hiding in that laundry, dirty diaper pile not showered) and Max & Grady can look at me a certain way or say something and I'm all better they can make my worst days the greatest in a single second!!! (I still think I need to read Lindsay's blog each Monday morning just to start things off on the right foot!!) I am thankful for my best friend (last but not least), my husband he has a way of reminding me daily why I'm so in love with him even when I can start the day off with him driving me totally nuts!!!!!!! Me wanting to scream and all of a sudden he does something so "Mark" and all that goes away, little bugger is very hard to be mad at!! I miss him like crazy, I can't wait till the day when he is working in PA and with us every single night!!!! We are so thankful that he is working so hard for us!!!!

nanny 911






My beautiful niece was here from Ottawa for 2 weeks she helped me sooooooo much!! She helped fold laundry, change diapers, she even put Max down for his naps. It was so great having her here it was so very heart breaking to say good bye!!!!! Auntie Cory helped out a bit too...........Since Bianca's birthday was before they got here we thought we would throw her a little party while they were here, we sent B off to go get some clothes and when she came back we were in our pj's and the whole living room was one big bed and beside the bed was our pedicure station. She loved it we had a slumber party!!!! It was great we ate lots of junk food watched an extremely cheezie movie ("Another Cinderella Movie") and we had pedicures and we giggled!! AHHHHH I miss them so much!!!!!

Grady is 1






My little prince is already one I can't believe a year has flown by Im pretty sure we just brought him home from the hospital last week!!!!! He is a monkey!!! He weighed about 20lbs last month Im thinking if he was weighed today hes got to be at least 30lbs!!! He crawls EVERYWHERE if you turn your head for 3 seconds he will be on the stairs, he has already fallen down 4 stairs he cried for about a minute and then went right back I on the other hand didn't have a normal heart rate for about an hour!!!!!! He has to stand up all of the time but not on his own yet as soon as he realized I wasn't holding him today he sat right down...........I still think he is going to be running by the time Santa gets here!!! He has 6 teeth now and by the sounds of his cries last night I think 6 more are on their way. His smile and nose crunch is enough to drop you to your knees!!! His giggle melts your heart and you will wish for having eye lashes half as beautiful as his!!!!! Happy Happy Birthday my love!!!!!!

The Wedding

















We had so much fun at the wedding!!!! Max and Grady did good they both got into their pj's and hung out with the fam. Bianca got Grady to sleep (not even around for a full 24 hours and she had already taken over!!) The program was so fantastic I can't believe how quiet the boys stayed (we brought movies, toys crayons, more toys, snacks...............)and I still can't believe how much I cried!!!!! All of the speeches were very very sweet!!!! Kobe is a very lucky little boy he has the greatest mom & dad ever!!! Then when I thought all of the cries were finished Camey got up and sang to David..........She is so amazing!! Great Score Dave!!! Pa & Mahka took the babies back to the hotel and we stayed and helped David and Camey celebrate!! After the wedding we took a shuttle to our hotel (so much fun) then we had a pizza party...................I had my family together all of them even Cory and Bianca I could not have asked for a better day!!!!!!
We finally got to have "cousin" pictures taken, our Nan had us go to Sears EVERY Christmas and we realized its been about 12 years since the last one was taken.....sorry Nan
