Thanksgiving!!!

I LOVE THANKGIVING!! I love the food, the people, the football, I love it all. It is the only Holiday that is completely dedicated to food, what more could you ask for. And I think that we have a lot to be thankful for!! I have a beautiful family and a nice home. My sister and her husband and my nephew are coming to visit, which is always tons of fun! Everyone is healthy and happy! What more could I ask for.
I hope that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and that you eat lots and have a good time with your families!

Farewell Willis!

Our beagle boy Willis died this morning! It was pretty tragic and very sad. I watched it and there was nothing that I could do. So Willis has gone to doggie heaven and we will miss him greatly!
Willis was my first baby, I got him when my husband and I first got married and we spent lots of time together. When we moved to LA and I was unemployed and very lonely, Willis was my companion. And when we had Reagan he was great with her. He let her crawl on him and hug him, and he just sat there. So, Willis my boy, you were the best dog and friend anyone could ask for and we will miss you terribly!

Christmas!

This year I decided I was going to be ahead of the game. I already have our Christmas picture done and the cards have already arrived. I have at least a general idea of what I am going to get people, and I have even bought a few gifts. I am very busy thinking of new Christmas traditions that our family will start doing every year. I am sooo into the Christmas spirit this year! Before we had kids, I enjoyed Christmas for sure, but not like this. I am so excited! My oldest daughter is old enough to really enjoy it this year. And I want her to start to understand now, that Christmas is not all about presents. I want her to understand the real meaning of Christmas! When I think back to Christmas when I was kid I can only tell you very presents that I got, but the real memories are the traditions and the experiences that we had.
Just a little thought to get you all excited about the upcoming season!

Date Night!!

My hubby and I are going on a date today! YAY! We are going to see a movie and go to dinner, and boy can I use the break. I have had a rough week and I need an attitude adjustment. I can see myself losing it with the girls, and I feel bad about it, however, it still happens. So I think that a few hours with my hubby is just what I need!

SLEEP!!

I am exhausted!! Between Morgan not sleeping at night, and Reagan not napping, I am dying. Is that possible?? Anyway, I am tired of being tired. I hate being that mom that cannot wait until naptime, only to have Reagan not nap. And she needs to nap, she is miserable too, but the kid will not sleep unless it is on her terms. Then there is sweet little Morgan who is not sleeping through the night. She is 7 months old and she should be sleeping, in my humble opinion. But then when I go in there she is so happy to see me, I can't be mad.
So, all that being said, it is 8:15 and I am going to bed and I am going to think happy thoughts!

Halloween

Here are some pictures of my girls from Halloween. Reagan really had fun trick or treating this year. Every morning she wakes up and asks if she can have some Halloween treats. Reagan was a princess and Morgan was a duck.

Terrible 2's

I think that God sent my 2 year old here to test me. She is on a tear and I am at the end of my rope. I am frustrated and tired all the time. I feel like I fight with her all day!! She just pushes to see how far she can push. And I know that my husband feels like I let her get away with too much, but at some point I feel like I have to pick my battles. AUGH!! I am hoping that when she turns 3 this will get better. She has the ability to be the sweetest and most loving little girl, and then sometimes I think that she is possesed by the devil himself!
God give me strength and patience so that we both survive!
