Pussy Cat

We have a new addition to the Hose house! She is small, cute, furry and pretty vocal! Her name is Moxie and Willis dis-likes her very much! I have never ever seen Willis hiss or swat at any other cat. We had Galaxy, Mickey and Pepper when he was brought into our home. They all treated him like poo. He still followed them and got in there faces and licked/sniffed them. This went on forever, it just became a little more tolerable to them. Ever since we put Mickey and Pepper to sleep we thought Willis might like a friend since he was always so playful. Guess I was wrong. He is just pissed off that we brought her into this house. I guess now he thinks it is HIS territory.

FYI...In case you were wondering, we had to get rid of Galaxy b/c she was shitting on everything after we got Willis. She cost us a new couch, crib mattress and changing table pads. So right before I had Laney we took her to a shelter. I know, so mean, but she was such a bizzzznatch!! :D

Christmas

We had a pretty busy X-mas this year. On Wed. (Dec 23) we went to my Aunt and Uncles house to celebrate w/ them. My cousin, Erik and his wife Jerusha were there w/ all of there children. It was a wonderful time for all of us. The kids all played very well together. It is always fun spending time w/ them. Cant wait until the next time we get to see them!

On Xmas Eve. We headed up to my parents house. The girls opened their awesome gifts that nanny and pop bought for them and we had lasagna for dinner. It wasnt a long celebration because the girls were getting cranky and needed to go home to get ready for the fat guy in the red suit to arrive! Needless to say, Matt and I had some gift wrapping to do after the kids were in bed.

Finally, on Xmas after we opened gifts and got ready. We went to Matt's mom/dads house for breakfast. It was so good! Both kids ate really well. Pappy Cappie and Joan got them some really cute gifts and the girls love them. It is always good to see them! I am so happy they live closer to us this year!

Victory Club Xmas

I know how jealous you all are going to be (not) when I tell you that we went to the Xmas breakfast at the Victory Club this past Sat. The girls really like it there. They love Eydie, the bar tender and Mary, our usual waitress. But on this day Santa and Mrs. Clause were going to be there. Incase you didnt know, Santa and Mrs. Clause are way cooler than Edyie and Mary! And what child doesnt want the chance to tell Santa what they want for Xmas?


santa gave her an orange!


Kayli looks like she had 1 too many beers! lol

So happy...

My blogger friend, Michelle and her husband Nick just found out that they are able to adopt again. What is really exciting, is the baby they are adopting is the brother to Kayla (the little girl they adopted about 17 months ago). They live in Guam because Nick is in the Air Force and that is where they will live until 2012. I am so excited for them and I wanted to share it with all of my readers...you know, all 6 of you!! LOL if you get time, check out her blog. <---- Just click there.

My Dad

I just wanted to put this on here for some of you who read this. My dad had surgery last Thursday, Dec. 10th to reverse his colostomy. He had no complications during or after the surgery. His Dr. was very pleased all went as planned. He was able to come home Wed. Dec. 16th after he passed gas and had a poo! Who would have ever thought farting and pooing would be such an exciting thing!!?? Sorry, dad...hope this doesnt embarrass you! haha He is doing well and is very happy this crazy stuff is all behind him. He still has a pretty long recovery but that is a lot better than what we thought it was going to be like. It is weird to think just 4-5 months ago we were told he had cancer and he was going to have to get chemo./radiation. Back in this post is where we all found out is wasnt cancer. Before that we all were 100% sure this was going to be a long, hard journey for my dad. Now that this is all over for him we all need to be grateful for the things we have. HE needs to realize that he has been given a second chance at life, pretty much. And my mom needs to see just how sexalicious my dad is! hahah!!! :D God is good for providing us w/ this miracle, for seeing my dad had the strength to go through this and for keeping the complications away! I hope my dad sees that too!!!

Christmas Magic

Matt and I took the girls to Rocky Ridge to see some Christmas lights. This is only the second time we have been there. We took Kayli 3 years ago when she was 3 and she was scared of everything. She wouldnt even let us take her picture with any of the little snowmen and I had to carry her half the time. Needless to say, we didnt go back again until this year. Now Kayli is 6 and Laney is 3. This time Kayli loved it and Laney did too. They wanted me to take their picture standing next to everything! I would recomend this place to anyone. With kids, w/out kids, young or old. It is fun and it is a great way to spend quality time w/ the ones you love the most! :D I took quite a few pics. but most of them did not turn out at all. Hope you enjoy the crap-tastic pictures I did keep!


Laney had a mini camera santa gave her...
