I will be having the Essure procedure done tomorrow. It's an in-office permanent birth control procedure. It's new and 99.8% affective. I am pretty nervous about it and not sure why. I have endured 2 pregnancies, deliveries and surgeries in the past 20 months! John is staying home tomorrow and the rest of the weekend to take care of me, Ellie and Brody. Please keep us in your prayers over the weekend ! We have our family pictures on Saturday so hopefully I'm feeling well enough to go. I didn't think before I made our appointment. I am really excited for our Christmas pictures. Ellie and Brody's Christmas outfits are ADORABLE!

It seems like we all pile on mine and John's bed every night and have some family time being silly!

Raye is feeling much better after getting an antibiotic today. We went back to the doctor today and she had a double ear infection.

Pickles for Dinner

We are trying to get her to eat. She wanted a pickle so that's what she's eating. She's saying PawPaw as she eats it bc her and PawPaw eat pickles all the time!

Waiting at the Dr

She's being such a big girl and waiting so patiently! She's enjoying watching the fishies in the fish tank!

Ellie & Brody get a day home with Daddy

John stayed home with Ellie and Brody today. Ellie was running a fever and not feeling well all night. She was still warm when she woke up and clingy and crabby. Today was daycare day so we didn't want to send her not feeling well. She had a three hour nap today. She only has an hour and a half nap now if we are lucky so we knew she didn't feel well still. When I got home from work she seemed to be feeling much better and up to speed! She showed me her new kitchen "GG" got her and Daddy put it together today. She loves her kitchen and food set. She does get mad at it though. When she gets mad she tends to throw things and scream. She couldn't get all the pans to fit in the microwave so she threw them. It was funny but not the behavior we want her to have. It's very hard to not laugh when you really want to. She has a dynamic personality that's for sure! Brody's doing great. He adjusted well to the time change. He just goes to bed at 7 now instead of 8. I'm not arguing with that. He likes his sleep and does very well. After he has his bottle he will lay in his pack n play until he falls asleep. Ellie wasn't that easy!

Mr. Brody last night, he loves laying on the floor and taking everything in.

 Ellie loves her new kitchen "GG" got her!

 She's making Daddy some food.

 Ellie still cooking!

Ellie made Daddy her favorite Hotdog and Chicken!

 She had to get Daddy a POP to go with his Hotdog and Chicken she took him.

 Showing Bubby Elmo. We love how she says Elmo its adorable!

 Daddy and his lil Brod Man!

Ellie and I showed Daddy what we did to Bubby the other day. The funny thing is Brody actually enjoys being in it!

Here we are being silly this past weekend!

Kitchen from GG!

Bubbies cooing in this picture and a little cross eyed from focusing on me, lol.

 Silly girl chewing on her pony and sitting in her stroller as she watches cartoons.

 She decided she wanted to get in Brodys swing.

 Look what Ellie and I did to Bubby. We were having a little to much fun on Saturday morning.

 Raye and Bubby

 Yes Brody has Raye's pink necklace on. When I told John about what we did to Brody I got the death look!

She adores her little brother, it's so precious! His girlfriends better watch out when he's older his sister is going to be very protective of him!

 Raye and I before we went shopping with "GG" on Sunday! We went and got Christmas outfits for our family pictures and did a little Christmast shopping after eating lunch at Panera Bread. Raye and I had a great time with "GG!" Daddy and Bubby stayed home and enjoyed a day full of football!

 "GG" brought Raye alphabet and number magnets over for the fridge. She loves them! Thanks "GG!"

 Daddy is on Bubby's Pooh Bear train that "GG" got him for Christmas.

 Ellie thinks that she will keep Brody's train working and in good shape until he's big enough to play with it! It's really neat and has tons of things to do on it! Thanks "GG!"

I'm pretty sure most of you know that our best friends Brooke and Jason are expecting their first baby in January. A baby girl Miley Sha. I am very excited for Miley to arrive. Brooke's shower was on Saturday. I'm very excited for Ellie and Brody to have Miley to grow up and play with thru the years.

 Brooke with her Miley belly!

 Brooke and I at her shower!
