Well she has been taking a few steps here and there this past week and just about 1/2 hour ago I stood her up and she took at least a dozen steps. WOOHOO!!! Now we just have to go and get her her first pair of shoes this weekend. Dave did call it and said she would be walking by the end of the week. I am so proud of her, even though it took until she was 14 months old :)
Yay for Keira!! As soon as I get some video clip of it I will post it.

Christmas
As usual Christmas Day came and was over super quick. The kids made out really well with gifts from Santa; they must have all been super nice kids this year (yeah, I don't think so). We told them that we are going to tell Santa that next year he has to restrain himself a bit more.
Shhh, don't tell anyone but I woke up during the night and saw that Santa had come so I took this picture
Once again this year Christmas was at our house and it was really nice. It was a little sad with it being the first Christmas without GG, but I know she was there in spirit. I am hoping that next year the boys will be more aware that Christmas isn't all about getting, getting, getting; but I do remind myself that they are only kids. I just wish they wouldn't expect gifts from everyone that walked through the door that day, lol.
As we have done in the past, before kids, the adults played a game at the end of the day. Uncle Robby and Joan came over and we played Quelf and had a great time. If you have never played the game I highly recommend it and recommend some adult drinks to go along with it :).
It has been a nice week so far as Dave had off Monday and yesterday and will be off Friday. We finally have plans for New Year's Eve (with the kids though). We are going over a friends house where we will celebrate various New Year's at different times during the night. This way the kids can celebrate before they get all tuckered out and doze off. I will be amazed if my kids want to make it to 12:00; I sure know that I will have a difficult time doing that as I am always in bed by 9:30/10:00.
Well I hope that the few of you that read this have a wonderful New Year!!!

Busy day today
Today after Dylan gets out of school we are heading to have family pictures taken. We haven't had one taken (besides the one Kevin took in California) since before I got pregnant with Keira. Hoping to get some nice ones of just the kids as well.
After pictures we will come home and get the kids in for naps and Grandma and Grandpa will come over to babysit while Dave and I head out to do our Christmas shopping. Of course we will enjoy a nice gingerbread latte while out and about :)
After shopping back home so that I can put Keira to bed and then out for a sushi dinner with Jaime and Craig.
Looking forward to a fun and festive day. Just pray that the kids all do well for pictures.

No more morning naps???
Well that is what I was thinking this morning at 9:40 when I could hear Keira whining and playing in her crib. She is only 13 months old and I am thinking it is still too early. Well now it is 10:05 and all is quiet up there and has been for the past 10 minutes. So now I think she might have finally fallen asleep. Of course I will only let her sleep until 10:30 so she doesn't ruin her afternoon nap.
I did notice yesterday that her upper gum cut for a tooth to come in so maybe that is why she had a hard time going to sleep this morning. There are days I wish she didn't take the morning nap so I can get errands done and then there are days like today when I am glad she takes one because we are just sitting around the house and while she is in there I can get some house chores done without worrying about her.
So for now I guess she still needs them; just hope she takes a decent afternoon nap.

Less than 3 weeks
I cannot believe that there are less than 3 weeks until Christmas. Dave and I haven't done any real shopping (a few things here and there but nothing major). Luckily he has off on Friday so after Dylan is done with school we are going to have family pictures done and then home for the kids to take naps when Grandma and Grandpa will be coming over to babysit so we can go and get some shopping done. I am looking forward to it and hope we have fun :)
We still have some more touching up to do to the house that I want to get done before Christmas so I will be back to priming and painting at nap times to get it done as our next two weekends are pretty busy.

Turkey Day
Wow, I can't believe it has been a month since I last wrote. Probably due to the fact that we were in California for a week where Aidan came down with the flu and then had it a bit when we got home and then I had the worst cold of my life. That led to me having, for the past week, having a rally bad pain in my left rib area. Unfortunately yesterday, on Thanksgiving, the pain was the worse it has been.
Other than the pain I was in yesterday the day was nice. My mom and dad did a great job hosting their first Thanksgiving. Yes that is right, after all these years we have never had Thanksgiving over there.
Now that Turkey Day is over we have to get up in the attic and get all the Christmas decorations down. But also at the same time we need to clean off the patio of the boxes that are still out there from moving back into the house so we have room for the Christmas boxes. In hindsight I probably should have had Dave get down some of the boxes for me last night so I could do some decorating today. Oh well, probably for the best so I can rest my side more today and not overdo it.
Hard to believe Christmas is 4 weeks away from today. We have only bought a couple of gifts and really need to get moving. The one big gift Dylan wants, Devastator Transformer, is hard to come by this week. We saw a bunch in different stores before Wednesday but didn't pick any up because Dylan was either with one of us or we didn't have the money at the time and figured we would get it in December. Now we just have to hope the store restock them. Wish us luck.

It's been awhile
I cannot believe how long it has been since I last wrote. I think it is because I just haven't had the time. I have been so busy thinking and doing things with the house and for Keira's first birthday party. That's right, in less than 1 week my little girl is turning 1. I just can't believe it; it is bittersweet that my baby is growing. Why can't they stay this way forever and not learn to talk back and be disobedient and not listen?
Can you tell that I have been having issues with her two older brothers lately? I don't know what the problem is but they have been pretty bad this past month. Lately it has been more Aidan and I just don't know what to do. He can be so disobedient at times that I get really angry. I try time-outs and they dont' seem to be helping. Today he took a blue crayon and drew a 6 inch line on 4 walls going down the hall and then scribbled all over their little table. I asked him why he did it and he said he was pretending to be a race car. I put him in a timeout and then tried to put him in for a nap without a story and he just screamed and screamed and kept coming out of his room. I ended up having to put a gate up in front of his door.
I now kids go through phases and I just hope this one passes very quickly.
