OK...OK! I'll Blog!!!

OK Hayley....Here's a new post! :) Just so everyone understands why my blogs are so far and few between....I have not yet joined the 21st Century and do not have the internet at home! Hopefully this will be the year we get with the times! So, the only chance I get to blog is at work (shhh, don't tell anyone!). Well, as you know Christmas isn't exactly the most relaxing time in retail so needless to say I haven't had time to do any posts. I have some pictures at home on my thumb drive (is that what they call those things) but it's missing, so I am stuck pictureless! Hopefully tomorrow I will find it and I'll bombard you all with millions of pictures cause if you know me at all you know I have a camera stuck in my hands 24/7.
Anyway, we survived the holidays and had a wonderful time! Simon loved opening presents. We only wish Santa would have realized that all Simon wanted was the three mini chocolate bars that were in his stocking! That kid is truely a chocolate freak! I'm not sure who he gets it from...Cody or my mom! Both enjoy their chocolate! I promise Tuesday to get some pics posted on my blog and will tell you more about Christmas (you have to have pics)!

We Love Kelsie!

OK Ashley... I'm updating my blog- now it's your turn!
I don't really have any new cute pictures (If you know me at all I hope you were sitting down for that shocking news!). The holidays have been crazy, but I'm eagerly awaiting Sunday! I actually get to have Sunday, Monday, and of course Tuesday off of work! I didn't even request it! So, that is my favorite surprise so far for Christmas! So, Simon started at his new babysitters yesterday. No, we didn't quit Hayley (although she is too stubborn to realize she has enough on her plate right now to let me quit!):) but the girl I was using for Wed is having her baby today! (Yeah Merrilee!). So, Kelsie is Simons new Wednesday babysitter! She is amazing and I love her so much. She works with me at Best Buy so I know her really well. When I dropped Simon off I was anticipating lots of tears (yes, some from me as well). But Simon was just fine with me leaving! Not a single tear was shed the entire day (including me!). He had so much fun at Kelsies house and he is best buddies with her husband now! All of you who have kids understand the stress involved with leaving your kids in the care of someone else! I can not thank Kelsie enough for being so good to Simon and for helping me out! What a life saver!!!

We Need a Hero!

So, I was going to put some other pics up for my blog, but everything else in the world seems so trivial right now. We are havig some family stress. Some of you know that Travis (my brother-in-law) just found out his cancer is back. I won't go into details, but it's definatly not a good thing! So, needless to say we are all a little down at the moment. But, I thought this picture was cute cause we sure could use a Hero right now to save us all from this crappy stuff! Hayley, I love you so much and wish I could help some how. All I know is God knows what we can and cannot handle and He will never give us more than what we can handle. You are one of the strongest people I know and you and Travis will both get through this!

Getting His First Tooth Pulled!

So, when I took Simon to the dentist when he turned 18 months old they found out he had an extra tooth. The dentist said it's a pretty rare thing, but he recommended getting it pulled. So, last Monday we took Simon in and they sedated him (which was pretty comical...I wish I had video taped it!) and pulled out the tooth. I'm sure it was a bigger ordeal for me than it was for him (but I did pretty good). Anyway, here are some before and after pics. The tooth they pulled is on his left side next to his two front teeth. He was a trooper!
