New Year's 2011

Our NYE was pretty low key this year (as it starts to be once you have a baby..lol..well at least for us). We just went out to eat with our friends Blake, Erica and Steve at La Fiesta and then went home to our little buddy. I wouldn't have had it any other way!! I am looking forward to what the New Year has in store for our family. God is already opening up new doors for us and I am very excited and thankful for that. Caleb is going to start a new job with Superior that will mean more money but also mean him being gone alot so Im kinda nervous about that. I just hope it is the right decision for our family. I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband though that works so hard to make a better life for us. I am so thankful to have a happy, healthy little boy who is the light of my life! I am very blessed and I thank God for everything he's given me and for loving me. I pray for those who need healing at this time. I know he is bigger than what we are going through right now and can work miracles. On another note, I have totally gone off the deep end with my diet. The holidays really screwed me up. So starting Monday its back to the diet. This weekend we are going to the Thunder game and staying in Bricktown so I thought I better wait until after that so I could have one last hoorah without having to be on a diet...lol. We got our shop built on our land and we are in the process of getting everything set up in it now. Hopefully we will be able to start building a house sooner than we thought since Caleb got this new job. Like I said, I'm looking forward to seeing what the New Year brings!!

Christmas 2010

I definitely got everything I wanted and more this Christmas!! I think everyone did! Christmas Eve we all got together at my parent's house for our annual Christmas Eve party. We all had a great time! The next morning we had our very own Christmas morning with Brandt and his Santa presents for the first time. He got a Diego tricycle, Woody Doll, Magna Doddle, Firetruck, movies, hat and clothes. He definitely like his Diego tricycle the best and would not get off of it for days not even to eat! Then we headed over to my parent's house for Christmas morning over there. He got a new Red Flyer tricycle and when he saw it he said "WHOA!" It was priceless. He wouldn't get off that one either..lol. I got a new Coach purse from Caleb which I love!! This Christmas was kind of bittersweet because of certain family member's illnesses (which I won't go into detail) but I'm just glad we could spend it all together!

Thanksgiving 2010

Brandt and Aiden in Missouri

Lynda with her boys on Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was wonderful because Caleb's whole family got to come for lunch at my parent's house. His brother that had been in Iraq and we never get to see even was there. It was great to have everyone together. The day after Thanksgiving we headed up to Missouri to see our best friends The Zettler's. Brandt had been sick a few days before Thanksgiving but I thought surely he was over it by that time so we went ahead and went. Well he definitely wasn't over it and it got way worse. He threw up all over their floor as soon as we got there. I felt so bad!! Then he proceeded to throw up everyday while we were there. I ended up getting the stomach bug as well and was sick for a whole day. It was absolutely awful especially to have to be sick in someone elses house--I was just thankful it was there house and not someone I barely knew. It was bad enough as it was!! They were so nice and understanding about it but i still felt awful. We had a long drive back but thankfully no one got sick in the car. When we got home Brandt was so lethargic it was starting to get scary so we ended up having to take him to the E.R. He had a stomach virus, ear infection and sore throat but thankfully he was not dehydrated. He was fine after a few days but I felt so sorry for him!! My mom was sick over Thanksgiving too so needless to say it wasn't the best Thanksgiving when it came to all the sickness!! But we still had lots of fun getting to spend time with Lauren, Nate and Aiden as always!! She is pregnant so I can't wait to go back and this time to get to see the new little addition!!

Halloween 2010

Brandt was a hamburger for Halloween this year. He actually wore his costume so I was pleasantly surprised. We took him to the mall in town for some trick or treating. He went up to all the people and held out his bucket like he had been doing it for years. It was hilarious. He got lots of candy (most of which his daddy ate..lol). Of course we had to take him by to see Bubby and Grandpa and then we went to show Grandma Lynda. The next afternoon we took him to the Boo Review on Mainstreet in Duncan. There was a costume contest which he didn't win :( but still had a good time. That was about it for our Halloween this year. He was the cutest little hamburger Ive ever seen!!
