Olivia's MRI - Dec 27, 2013

Olivia's MRI went really well. 

Nyah was my helper and did wonderful - I love seeing my older kids taking care of Olivia. We should hear back from NCI and the genetic specialist sometime in the next month or so. 

Christmas Day

I didn't take many pictures on Christmas day. All the other adults had their fancy cameras going while I was busy helping kids and enjoying the day, but here are a few: 

Sophie loves her rocking horse and wouldn't even get off to open the rest of her presents. One night this week, she came into our bed in the middle of the night and when I woke up enough to take her back to her bed, I tripped over her rocking horse which she'd placed next to my bed. I don't know why I didn't wake up when she was dragging the horse through the house to get to our room in the first place.

New video games

and new toys!

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Christmas Fun

We were thrilled to have Kurt's family visiting for Christmas. We hung out at their house, played pool, played with their dogs, went to Temple Square, saw Frozen, eating delicious food, and had a wonderful time hanging out and visiting.

Ice Skating

Merry Christmas from Grandma & Papa!

My parents sent us some money for Christmas and I decided to use it towards a family ice skating pass. We went this past weekend - well, Kurt had hockey practice & I skated with the kids, which is why most of my pictures ended up blurry. And we all had a great time- if I tell myself this enough it must be true, right? The kids have been asking to go back every day this week, so they must have had a good time- even if they did whine and complain the entire time we were there.

Yes, this is a dirty look just for me. Awesome.

School Days
