Good help is so hard to find...

So over the weekend we had our first official snow storm. Very late this year coming but it did and the kids loved it...then the next morning, after the plows were all done plowing the sidewalks, we woke to this...

Hopefully it won't take too long to get fixed...our kids need to feel safe while playing in their own backyard and not have to worry about the fence falling on top of them :( Happy New Year indeed.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY

So behind in time

So it seems like ages since I've last posted anything. Part of me feels like just stopping the blog but then I think about my amazing friend Sarah, someone who I don't get to talk to much other than through facebook and I think about how this is such an awesome way of keeping in touch...so alas...I shall keep blogging..lol.

IN WITH THE OLD....OUT WITH THE NEW.

It's now 2011 and I can't believe my little man will be 6 this year and my little girl will be 4. 2010 was good to us though, Fox started big boy school, Nevada became..and is becoming more and more independant, I returned to work and we get to spend a lot more time with Phil. Not all things were great though, Fox broke his colar bone in school (he was pushed by another little boy) and we've recently found out that Nevada is going to need surgery on her eyes..something we're not looking forward to but if it helps her, then bring it on. She's a fighter, just like Fox is so we're sure she'll pull through it with flying colors.

Do I have any resolutions for 2011...NOPE. I've tried and tried many times to keep any resolutions I made in the past and they never worked out so this year I'm gonna do something new...I'm gonna just take things one day at a time. I'm gonna get healthy...one day at a time, I'm gonna become a better mom..one day at a time, I'm gonna become a better wife..one day at a time and I'm gonna become a better person..one day at a time.

Christmas was awesome. The kids were very excited and happy that Santa came...after all, there's nothing more precious then seeing the smiles on my childrens faces. Making them happy is something I'll never stop working at doing. Phil and I also had a few surprises for one another so that was nice. We had family over as well and we also got to spend Christmas Eve with a long lost friend whom we've not seen in probably 7 years or so..so needless to say, our Christmas Eve and the following days were perfect. I love my family!

Back to the grind

So...last week I started back to work...and I love it. I'm back at the clinic I was at before/during/after my munchkins were born. It's nice to be out and around adults all day, thinking about stuff other than the everyday stuff I was use to being a stay at home mom. I'm only part time but that's enough for me.

My big boy

Well, Fox had his official first full week of grade primary and he loves it. I couldn't be prouder to be his mom.

Crabs and starfish for my little man

Fox has been spending the summer at his Nanny & Papa's house. During this time, we've taken Nevada to the beach and both times were lucky to go when tide is out and because of this, we've been able to catch a few crabs and starfish for pictures for Fox. Here are a few pictures of what we got.

Better late than never....sort of.

So....July 20th was an extremely special day in our household. Our son Fox turned 5 years old. I can't believe how quickly these past 5 years have gone. I'm holding it together pretty good, believe it or not..however sitting here thinking about him is making me tear up. He's my baby boy who will be starting school this September. Daddy and I are so incredibly proud of you Fox and we love you more than life itself.
