The rest of December

I thought we were going to have a Christmas miracle and get an offer on our house. I guess it was a miracle just to have an actual showing. The guy that looked at our house had supposedly narrowed his choices down to our house or next doors'. Well, apparently he decided against both and is looking at more houses. DAG. I really thought we might get an offer and get to move on with our lives, but I guess not yet. It's okay- we'll keep praying it sells when it's supposed to.

I know you're all wondering about that crazy mole that appeared overnight. Well, I put vitamin E oil on it everyday and after about 3 days it just shrank and disappeared. I guess it probably wasn't a mole- some kind of hormonal thing or skin weirdness. That is my highly educated medical opinion- ha! It was weird though.

Jeebs and I cleaned all day on our 8 year anniversary- so it was a very romantic day, filled with greatness and romance. Can you sense the sarcasm?

For New Years we went shopping in Raleigh. We hit 3 different malls. I miss malls. The smells, the displays, the orange juliuses- ahhhhh oh well. We ate at PF Changs and it was GOOD. Sadly, we didn't find much, but I guess we saved our money right?

And last but not least- Ezra has so much hair! He probably doesn't have much on most kids, but for one of our kids he has a lot. I love it- he is driving me crazy, but he is so dang sweet and smiles at everybody. I could just eat him! I love watching Tates and Cagey with him too- it is the sweetest thing ever.

Merry Cristmas Eve

We all got BYU sweatshirts from Grandma and Grandpa Wagley for Christmas. This is as good as it gets as far as a family picture goes :) The kids sleep in our bedroom- so they can't peek before we're up- they love it, but I think we need a bigger bedroom.

Christmas was great, but crazy. We got a call on Christmas Eve that someone wanted to see our house on Sunday- so I immediately wanted everything to be perfect. I started cleaning our closet on Christmas day and then we worked like maniacs all day the day after Christmas- which is our anniversary. 8 years woohoo. It was awful- we worked until we were dead and I had Ezra screaming after me all day. He's screaming in his crib right now. I have no idea what to do with that baby. He is thinking it's the cool thing to sleep for only 2 hours at a time all night long and he thinks it's AWESOME to wakeup and scream after I get him asleep and put him in his crib. AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's driving me crazy today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm getting sick- trying to zicam it away and it's working, but I still don't feel great. I need some consecutive hours of sleep.

This was supposed to be my Christmas post, so here's a few more pics of Christmas- Happy Flippin' Christmas!!!!!


This was Ezra's first Christmas- he enjoyed his fake hotdog.

What a day...

I had to dance a jig today in sacrament meeting. I was asked to turn pages for the pianist and it was very interesting to say the least. Then we were supposed to show our house- the first showing in...well...ever. The first one that gave us 2 days notice and didn't call and cancel 30 min before. We thought we were good. We leave- come back- find out the lockbox wouldn't open. They couldn't get inside!!!!!!!!!!!! We have to clean again tomorrow!!!!! Do they realize what it's like having to clean up after 3 kids? and a baby who just wants to be held on your hip all the time? Ezra was crawling after me crying all day as I cleaned. The guy wants to see the house though. I doubt we'll get an offer- but you never can tell. Everybody say a little prayer :) I can not stay up anymore. Too much adrenaline for one day. OH- I didn't even go into sing time. It was alright- but a little stressful. I think I know the words to songs and then I get up in front of people and I forget them :) And it was so hot in the primary room- I had sweat running down my back- sexy. I know. must.... go.... to......... bed.................................

He's pulling up...

He did this all by himself on Sunday night. What a booger. He pulled up on his basket a few weeks ago when we were in Banner Elk, NC, but this is the first time he's done it on the couch. Now he's gonna be trouble!

These are a couple of pics that Jeebs snapped righ before church yesterday. It was about 7:45 in the morning. I had to be at church at 8 to practice for a musical number and then had to stay after church to play for a baptism. 5 hours of church- exhausted...no nap after...couldn't go to sleep until almost 12:30...Ezra woke up at 12:50...and again around 3...again around 6...and up for good a 7:20- this is pretty much my nights. I can usually handle it if I get my workouts in, but I hadn't worked out since Wednesday. Got my workout in today though woohoo.

Yay for Christmas break!!!!

I can now be nice to my daughter again :) We are BOTH so excited to have some time off of school. She just got back from her art class downtown and I am so excited to see what she made next week. I think she'll be starting a drawing class next year. This little art store and art class has to be my favorite thing about New Bern. Mr. Chris is the owner and teacher of her class. He is the most patient person- he helps the younger ones so they don't get frustrated, but still let's them do their own thing. Taylor really likes him.

My baby bug is snotty again! What is the dealio? I still haven't finished Christmas shopping and Ezra still needs a stocking! OH well- I still have a week right? There was a point to this post, but I forgot it :)

Freakin' Out a little

While I know to most of you this isn't a shock, I am freaking out a little. I woke up this morning and I have a new mole that I think formed overnight! It's weird and I've never seen a mole form overnight! What the heck? I don't want to go to the doctor, but this may force me to it. I am the worst kind of hypochondriac- I think I'm dying all the time and yet I will NOT go to the doctor. Just ask Jeebs, I'm making his hair turn gray.

You ever have those moments when you think you look pretty nice and then you get a view of a certain angle of yourself and realize you ain't lookin' as hot as you thought? Well, I got a new skirt at the Banana Republic outlet (paid 10$ for it, what up?? so happy) and I thought it looked pretty nice. Then I went to the bathroom at Church today and they have the mirrors set just right in there so you can see your backside :) I always have to give it a check. BLAGh- blaggedy blagh and don't even get me started on the back of my hair. I've been working out for several months and dieting pretty hardcore- as hardcore as I can while still nursing which is supposed to help you lose weight right? right? -since the last week of October. I've lost 10-11 pounds which I am excited about. But, then I think about the peeps on Biggest Loser- they lose like 80 lbs in 5 weeks. I realize this is all they do- they have trainers and they have much more weight to lose, but dag YO!! Anyway- I'll do it eventually, it'll just take time- unless this mole kills me first.

My computer died

So I'm using Tater's mini computer. I don't like this tiny screen and I can't check my dang email. arrrrgh. But- today it was so dang cold- I loved it! I didn't get to get out in it though which was kind of stinky. OH well- maybe tomorrow.

We went to see Santa last night at the mall just so the kids could have the experience- and even though Cagey thinks that since he's told Grandma what he wants- he's covered. Santa asked Taylor if she was a good girl this year and if she was doing good in school- both to which she replied with a confident "yes." But, then he asked her if she was keeping her room clean and LOL she studdered "well.... well....we...." I wanted to hear what she was going to say, poor child I had just gotten onto her last night for her messy room, but Santa quickly just told her to work on it. HA! It was funny.
