Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year! Here is to a great 2009!

Happy Birthday Thomas!

My ability to write holds me back from expressing how much I love you Thomas. You mean the world to us....I love you so much. Happy Birthday!

*Kaden isn't so happy because his present wasn't opened first...lol*

Sad News

Our cat Cupid died today. We had her for 10 years. Thomas and I adopted her 10 years ago this month. She was such a sweet cat. She loved attention.

She liked to run into the garage when we shut it...this time she was a little too late. We found her this morning. Thomas had to go outside and buried her in the cold wind and snow. Even with all the vomit and the cat passing, we have had a good Christmas.

A Sneak Peak of our Christmas Morning

Here you see Kaden about to throw up. Notice the orange bowl? Yeah, that one is Kinley's. We woke up at 4 a.m. and it wasn't to open presents...both Kinley and Kaden are yaking. FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Zaugg Family Party

We had our Zaugg family Christmas party on Sunday. I love this party! Every year the kids make gingerbread houses, santa comes and we have a white elephant gift exchange. Its not as fun when mom and dad are gone (no one plays santa like grandpa!) but we had a lot of fun. We even got to talk to my parents on skype...so it felt like they were there! (Sorry mom and dad...I have issues talking on the phone when I am not alone...ask Thomas...if he walks in the room and I am on the phone, I will leave the room...he likes to follow me...it bugs!)I love being around my family...thanks for the great party guys!

Duffy Family Party

We had Aaron and Amy come over for our super huge Duffy family party. We had chili and breadsticks and we made gingerbread houses. Hailey was sick, so she stayed in our room all night sleeping. She was so sad to miss out

Rookie Mistake

Today I told Kinley to go clean her room. She went away (should have been my first hint something was up...) shut the door (second hint) and was quiet (third hint) for 10 minutes. She finally came in and told me, "Mom, I need help getting a blanket". Wow, I thought, it was AMAZING that a KID listened to what I asked her to do!! She needed help making her bed!!

I go into her room...

Wrong. So dead wrong.

How am I ever going to keep a clean house if this is how my children think you are spost to clean a room??

She had all her tupperware bins that we keep her toys in under her bed out....DUMPED OUT! She had all her books from her closet, her underwear, tumbling clothes, kitchen toys, tiny toys, all the bedding off her bed...in the pile! Dress up clothes, shoes...and to top it off? SHE TOOK ALL THE CLOTHES HANGING IN HER CLOSET AND THREW IT IN THE PILE!! I was so mad! (keep in mind, she has been on my last nerve for the past 5 months or so....) I called Thomas at work (haha) and had him come up to talk to her.

This, my friends, was a Rookie mistake. You don't ask a 4 year old to go clean her room and don't even poke your head in to check on her.
