The Merriest Christmas!!!

So here's our Busy Christmas FUN all wrapped up in some cute picture collages!! :)

The top collage is from my Dad ans Janeen's Christmas dinner! Its tradition to always get together the Sunday before Christmas! We always have a great time eating, laughing, opening presents and taking pics!! The grand babies are filling up! Everyone had a baby this year except my brother and my sister! That's crazy! All of Janeen's kids had babies and me and Eryka!! It's been a busy 2013!! So fun to get the cousins together! I do have to say the highlight of the night was when Penny opened her present from Grandma Janeen! It was a Princess Microphone! We couldn't get her off the mic from singing!! She hasn't stopped either! She LOVES to sing and now she said she's a "Rock Star!!!" The perfect gift for her Grandma!! Great job!!!

Just couldn't resist this pic collage! I snapped these on Christmas Eve! I love getting these candids of Penny holding Cash!! She loves holding him!! Its so fun to catch their faces!!! Love these two so much!!!

On Christmas Eve we headed to Chad's dad for dinner! He took us to Lucille's BBQ at the Red Rock! Such yummy food!! If you haven't been...You better! You won't be disappointed!! :) We had such a great time! We have gotten together with his dad for the last few years on Christmas Eve and it's just nice and relaxed! No rushing around trying squeeze time in on Christmas! We will continue doing this! :)

Then it was Christmas morning!! Oh my!! The BEST Christmas yet with Penny!! She was hyped all morning long!! Santa found her and Cash and she was so excited!! She finally is really getting it!! She loved everything! She kept thanking Santa over and over saying "Santa loves me...he got me everything I really wanted...Thank you Santa where ever you are!!!!!" haha! She's the best! and at every present she opened she would say "Oh my gosh!"... "shut up!"..."no way!"..."stop it!" haha! She totally kills us with her big sassy words! She loved her Stocking too! Little Cash stayed awake for just about 1 picture and he was off to bed! He loves his little schedule! :) He truly is the best baby! We all got spoiled! Chad got his first Coach Wallet and I got my first high end camera lens that I have been wanting for a long time!! We are so grateful! The Best Christmas ever!!

Then it was off to Deedee's (Chad's mom) for her traditional Christmas Breakfast! We Love going over to her house every year for her homemade scones and all the fixings! We stuffed our bellies and opened fun presents!! but the highlight of the morning was when Drew proposed to Tara!!! I'm getting a new brother-n-law! Little Auntie Linn is getting Married!! We are so excited for the both of them! It was such a special morning!!

We ended our busy amazing day at my brother's house! We always end our Christmas here every year! It was the best because Eryn was there!!! We love that Eryn! All we were missing was little Eryka and her sweet family! My brother requested a white chicken chili soup for dinner and I volunteered to make it! What...me!!! Yes me and it turned out perfect! It was the best yummy soup! I was quite impressed with my self since I never cook!!! haha! So we filled our bellies up and opened more presents!! Such a FUN day!! We love being with our families on Christmas! It's always such a busy day for us going form house to house but so worth every year! We Love Christmas time!!

When it was all over Penny went up to each little old person and gave them a hug! So cute!They were just loving her!

Her 2nd performance was at a church and they performed for their family and friends! She was loving her family out in the crowd! She didn't get shy at all seeing them out there....she was really putting on a show for them! It was awesome! In both performances she gave the opening line to start the show and sang the best little solo!! We were so proud of her!! It reminded me of when I used to perform on stage!! I loved it!! At the end daddy gave her some flowers and man was that the highlight of her night! Her face was priceless when he gave them to her! She hasn't stop talking about those flowers either! I am so happy to have found this amazing singing/dancing class! We love Miss Brittney! She truly is the best teacher!

Our Golden Boy Has Arrived!

Cash Eric has arrived! Our golden boy!! Cash was born on Sunday August 11, 2013 @ 10:26am! He came in weighing 6lbs and 19 1/2 inches long! The C-section went so fast! So here's the story! Those of you that have read my blog prior know that I have had a pretty long difficult pregnancy! I have been in and out of the hospital a few times for surgery on my cervix to low amniotic fluid. My Dr just wanted to get me to 36-37wks! My C-section was sched for Monday Aug 12th. (I would have just started my 37wk) So on Sunday Aug 11th she wanted to do the anmio fluid lung test on the baby! So I reported to the hospital! If the lungs were good we were going to proceed with the C-section in the morning! If they weren't then my Dr. was going to seeing if I could hold out for 1 more wk. (38wks) They did the fluid check 1st to see where they could extract the amniotic fluid to test the babies lungs. Well I didn't even have a 2cmm pocket of fluid in my whole belly! Poor baby Cash had no fluid to live in so my Dr. said "We are having a baby today...in 1 hour!" Chad and I got hyped! We couldn't believe we were finally going to have our little boy! So Chad took off to meet my brother on the road to drop Penny to him! Penny stayed with my brother's family all wk while we were in the hospital. (thank you so much Ry and Em) Chad barley made it back before they walked us down to the surgery room! They got me all numbed up removed my stitch in my cervix. (I was dilated to a 4...thank goodness I had my stitch in and thank goodness I was having my C-section then. My Dr. did not want me to go into labor because of what happened with my cervix last time delivering Penny). And out came our Baby Cash just a Peeing and Screaming! His lungs were just fine! What a fast procedure having a C-section! Literally with in 10mins of being numb Cash was out! WOW! Then is was time to sew me up! and of course my uterus stops working and it was like jelly trying to stitch me back up! Every time they put the stitch in to close it the stitch would pull thru so they had to stitch me deeper in the uterus to keep it shut! Like it did with Penny...I started to bleed out but this time my Dr's were prepared to stay on top of things! She had a feeling my body was going to do this again like last time! But all is good now and she said I could even have another BABY! What? Really? 3 kids! Not so sure about that!! haha! I would be on bed rest as soon as I found out I was pregnant! and you know I wasn't so good at that bed rest sort a thing! haha 

This is a collage of most of our visitors that came down to the hospital! We have felt so much LOVE from everyone! Even the ones that didn't make to the hospital! We can't believe all the dinners and visits from family and friends! Thank you all so much! We are so excited to be a family of 4! It's been a little adjustment but wouldn't change it for anything! I LOVE being mom! Its the best blessing and miracle ever! We are truly blessed to have Baby Cash as ours! He's just Perfect! The best little baby ever...our Golden Boy!
