Chritmas morning

Nativity Play. We had Joseph, Mary, Baby Jesus, shephards, an angel, dogs, bears, and a rabbit. They were there too right?

Wow- we were in Utah for Christmas this year and it was action packed and a blast. The kids LOVE being with all their cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. Dave and Patti,(Jon's parents) were nice enough to let us stay with them. They always make things so nice for us. The kids are entertained plus some the whole time, which makes it extra nice for me!! The snow was amazing. It pretty much snowed the whole time we were there. The kids were in heaven. They could sled everyday. Patti and Dave have this great hill in back that went into the woods, so the boys would get on their helmets and cruise down way fast and bash into the trees. They thought it was hilarious. All the Redd cousins were there except for Drew and Erica's new addition, Olivia. We missed them. My side of the family were not in town this year, just good old Babs and Charlie who we hung out with a lot too. Chuck was around a bit too with his friend Cami who we got to meet. We went to movies, lunches, dinners, an awesome Jazz vs. Mavericks game that Dave treated Jon's whole family to. He got a suite with amazing food and ice cream bar. Andrew thought that he had died and gone to heaven. He was so into the game and seeing all the players he watches on t.v. It was cute to see how excited he was. We also got to bless Cash at the Redd's house. I'm so glad we did it up there because we had most of our families there. It was so nice. We has four generations on Jon's side, Grandpa Jack, Dave, Jon and Cash. On my side we had Granny Goose,(Carol), my dad, myself, and Cash. Thanks everyone for being there and making it such a memorable blessing for Cash and Christmas!!!!!

Best Gift Ever

Cash had his one month check up yesterday and he is a healthy 10lbs. 2oz! Yep, he likes to eat, a lot. He is truly like his shirt says "The Best Gift Ever." I told Jon I already have my Christmas present. I am so in love with this baby! We are having so much fun with him. Mollie and Charlie just finished up with their soccer season. They had fun. After it was all over Charlie announced that he likes Halloween better than soccer. Shocker.

Our New Addition

Some of these pictures are from this summer of the kids. (When I wasn't "blogging" and now I'm catching up slowly) One is of Mollie and all the new Redd girl cousins. While the other picture is of all the Redd cousins (Cash now makes 10 grandchildren for the Redd's). And then we have more of Cash, of course!!! With plenty more to come. Hope everyone is well... We really appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers and well-wishes. Thank You

Sick of Being Sick

Have you ever had the feeling of having no control over your life? My life consists of trying to function around my constant feeling of extreme nausea and or puking. Pretty picture isn't it? GOOD TIMES!! Obviously I am prego as most of you know. About 3 months now. I hope I start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel soon, or my family is going to ask me to move out. The other day Mollie informed me that I had been in bed for days and she is sick of it. So am I. I have canker sores on my tongue from taking so many dissolving Zofran tablets. Trying to gag down pills doesn't work so good. Thanks for letting me vent. I have a good friend from Chi Omega and her sister, who I know well, her husband has a brain tumor. He has a website I have been following since he was diagnosed last September. It puts my situation in perspective. You should all take a look if you think you are having a bad day or are feeling sorry for yourself. It makes you realize how small your problems really are. He is amazing. His name is Rich Lloyd. He has the one of the best attitudes and insights to life I have ever heard of. The link is http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/richlloyd

Anywho, I had to post some of Charlie's t-ball pictures. It is hilarious to watch the kids play. He loves it.

Easter

The Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Sunday

Back From Hiatus

Wow, time flies when you having fun. I could give you about 10 excuses for taking a little blogging break, but I won't bore you with the details. I just got done reading some blogs I haven't seen for a while, Linde tagged me. Usually I think these things are a little goofy, but it motivated me to blog without having to load pictures. I'm a little lazy if you can't tell. So here it goes.....I really will do pictures again soon, hopefully.......

If money, time, and babysitting were no object, where would you go and with who?

Probably anywhere warm, with a beach and an ocean. I would of course go with Jon and kids, and a nanny.

When was the last time you cried?

5 minutes ago while reading Linde's blog about her kids crying because of the move.
