Mish Mash
My cute Ben...but I think the safety goggles are a little tight.
Happy Birthday Karat
I can't believe he's 8 already. It seems he was just a puppy. A troublesome puppy at that. I vividly recall the day I got home from work and discovered he'd eaten the linoleum kitchen floor. And the morning I awoke to find he decided he wanted to be IN the couch instead of ON the couch and chewed into the interior. And how could I forget the day I found a 2 feet hole in my sheetrock. But for all that, he is the absolute BEST dog. I couldn't ask for a better companion for my kids. Then and now...
I left a message for the doctor's office this morning. All the tests were negative 'for his age'. Not sure what that last section means but that's what they said. A huge part of me is relieved, but at the same time it's one more dead end. The geneticist WILL NOT test Connor unless Jeff had positive results. I don't want there to be something wrong with Jeff or Austin or even Connor, but I just want to put all the pieces together. I still feel his mutation MUST mean something.
Sick Boys
My twins are sick. Aunt Karen has called me three times at work already and poor Connor was just SCREAMING in the background. His ear hurts. I feel like a bad mommy for being at work. Yet another trip to the ped.
Over the Hill?
A lot of people say that turning 30 is the worst. It's that time when you feel you need to actually be an adult. I felt that way. My entire 20's I tried to pretend I was a kid playing adult. I had a hard time when my 30th rolled around. But, in the year or so since, I realize not much has actually changed. For better or worse I have settled in...that is, until I got my mail yesterday. I opened my mailbox expecting to find the usual assortment of bills, credit card offers and fliers, but this time there was something else. I saw the return address and time stopped. My first thought was the mailman had given me someone else's mail, but no indeed, my name was listed as addressee. I can only hope someone found some way to get me on their mailing list as a joke. Personally I am NOT laughing. I am much to young for this...right? Someone tell me that time hasn't shifted.

Happy Birthday Ben & Connor
I can't believe my babies are three. I still remember the day we found out I was pregnant with twins. We were shocked, but overjoyed and we knew life would never quite be the same.
Mommy and Daddy love you boys so much. Here is our birthday tribute to you!

Finally
I think I finally found some free time to post. It's been a long few weeks around here.
Jeff and I at dinner; the whole gang...Dean & Judy, in laws, Jeff & I and Kelli & Eric
Nadene & Jason; Becca, Cindy, Lindsay & Barbara
My kids had a GI bug the weekend before Christmas. I thought I escaped unscathed. I was VERY wrong. The stomach upset started on Friday. I managed to make it through Saturday and most of Sunday. New Year's Eve is our Anniversary and we always make dinner plans. I mustered up the energy to get dressed. I survived dinner and made it to the neighbor's for the Midnight toast. I was in bed by 1am when the GI bug hit full force. Thank God for family because I didn't move again for over 36 full hours. Not sure what I would have done if I had to take care of the kids also. By Tuesday afternoon, I felt semi-human and on Wednesday I made it to work. The only positive is that I managed to lose 8 lbs. Not a recommended weight loss program, but at least something good resulted from all that sick!
Despite this, I had a great Anniversary. Jeff and I have made it to 8 years. They have been long and sometimes rough with all the kids' troubles, but I thank Jeff for being so strong. No matter who was down, the other was there to bring them up. We made it through this together and the kids are doing pretty darn good. And although we said we weren't exchanging gifts, he bought me a beautiful pair of princess cut diamond studs....because I am a Princess! Hey, I have to get some perk for all the testosterone I deal with on a daily basis :)
So, although I am a few days late...I hope you all have a Happy, Healthy 2007!
Connor on New Year's Eve Day. I just don't understand what happens to my kids' hair while they sleep! Kids Stuff on Sirius has a song called 'My Hair had a Party Last Night". That is TRULY the only way to describe Ben & Connor's hair!

What in the world is this...see what happens when I leave my camera unattended at a party? I had a picture of someone's feet and this? I suppose it's better than the pictures of the urinals that people took with the table cameras at our wedding?!?

Too much to do and too little time
I had a nice post all writeen on Wednesday and then my server crashed. Let me get a quick update on here for all my faithful visitors.
Saturday we had Christmas with the Rems, then we had dinner at Kelli's. Sunday we had Christmas with my dad's family. Monday we had Christmas morning with the in-laws then off to my mom's house. Needless to say it was a hectic few days. The kids got way too many toys, and had to de-tox, but they seem to be doing better now.
I hope you all had great holidays. Here are some pictures from the weekend.
Connor, Carli, Allison, Ben & Austin
Cowboy Connor and Cheerleader Austin...glad I passed something onto my boy!
They had fun playing with Carli and Allison's dress up stuff...all except Ben who wanted NOTHING to do with it! Yet he thought the tea set we got for Ashely was 'cute'. Actually his exact phrasing was 'that's so cute!", but he refused to have tea with her.
Ben with Big Papa and my three boys with their new hats...Jimmie Johnson, Bob the Builder and Thomas the Tank Engine.
My BIL Eric with our very full Christmas tree and reindeer Elmo.
