Kruz's Gingerbread house

So on Saturday Dec. 18th my family had our annual Christmas party... it was a little different this year because my aunt Tina and mom threw the party because my grandpa was in Arizona with my aunt julie who just had a double mastectomy(she has breast cancer and had them removed). The party was a blast, we ate yummy food, played lots of fun games, and Santa came to give the little ones a toy. Kassidy was great with her first Santa experience, and Kruz was ecstatic he was there. Then on Dec. 19th my mom had her gingerbread house making party. Before we went to my mom's house we decided to stop by the mall to get the kids picture taken with Santa... we stood in line for 20 mins and of course Santa decided to take his hour long lunch right then, so we are going back on Thursday. Kruz wasn't feeling too great, but he still had fun making his gingerbread house.... which turned out awesome!!!!

At 4:00 AM on Monday morning Kruz woke me up with a sore throat and a fever of 103.9, so we waited for his doc office to open and got him right in. Guess what he has.... INFLUENZA A. Guess what else... it is HIGHLY contagious AND they cannot give Kassidy the shot because she is too young. They did however make me get the shot... but I think it was too late because I am really sick this morning and Kassidy has a fever and a cough so I think all of us have influenza now. Since it is a virus there is nothing they can do for it... so please, keep your fingers crossed that all of us get better for the holidays. The docs did say that it is not contagious though if you don't have a fever.

We bought a house!!!!

Well as of last Thursday Dec. 9th, we are home owner's :). We have been looking for house since September and found a few that we put offers in on, but they either denied the offer or they took to long to long to let us know. We found this amazing deal on a house that was not a short sale and looked at it back in the middle of November. We loved it and so did Kruz, so we put an offer in on it and they accepted it. It is located around 2700 W. 5600 S. It was owned by old people so there is wall paper over EVERYTHING!!! It is in pretty good condition... just needs to be updated. We started peeling off wall paper over the weekend, and luckily we bought a steamer to do it, because that thing is AMAZING!!! We still have to build 2 walls, put in new floors and carpets, paint and then it will look how we want it to look :). I am soooo excited. oh and the best part about it..... it is sitting on a quarter acre, so the backyard is huge!!Kruz is sooo excited to have a yard that he can play in and not worry about dog poop(we are going to build them a dog run). We still have lots of work to do.... but it is sooo exciting!!!!

Thanksgiving and more.....

Kassidy's first Thanksgiving

WOW!!! It's been awhile since I posted. Well Kassidy is now 3 1/2 months old and is growing sooo much. She is such a good baby. We got her ears pierced on November 24th and she did sooo good and they look soo cute!!! She had her first Thanksgiving, I wish it was our holiday with Kruz so we could have gotten a family pic of all of us on her first Thanksgiving, but my ex had him. This year we went to Dave's families Thanksgiving since we went to my mom's last year. We are trading every year because it is too hard to go to 2 places that day. Kruz was bummed he didn't get to spend the holiday with us, but he had fun at his dad's.

Kruz is such a good big brother!! He loves to hold her and help feed her. He loves seeing her everyday and is amazed and how much she is learning. She is already trying to sit up on her own, she laughs all the time and just has the cutest personality. We had to take her to the doctor's because her eye was stuck shut 2 mornings in a row and she was sooo congested she was having a hard time breathing. Turns out she had pink eye and a severe cold, they had to do a deep suction in her nose, and if any of you have had your kids do that you know how sad and awful that is.

Well I don't have that many pics, because my camera was lost for awhile.... I have lots on my phone, but have no clue how to put them on here. When I figure it out I will hav a blog post on just the pics from my phone :). Hope everyone is doing well and getting ready for Christmas
