Santa Santa He He He

Even though everything kept telling us no don't take Chase to see Santa Claus this year we ignored it and took the kids. I even asked Chase "do you want to see Santa?" He'd nod his head and say He, He, He instead of Ho Ho Ho. That is how Chase says Santa. So the time has come it was our turn and I am holding his hand as we are walking towards Santa. As Jaren places Kamryn on Santa's lap, just then Chase changes his mind and decides to make a run for it. The exit was blocked by people in line so instead he tried to jump the display fence and make a run for it. I was able to catch him and drag him to Santa where he sat on his lap and pouted. We did get him to look up once and catch that picture. It was over no crying and no screaming but just as I was going to pick him up off of Santa's lap Chase stuck his finger up his nose. The first time I have ever seen him do that and it had to be on santa. OMG that poor Santa. So as we walk away with things going better than we expected Chase saw some remote control cars he wanted to play with and thats when the screaming and crying kicked in and brought the looks of every holiday onlooker our direction as I drag him away. Oh joy to the world when you have a two year old. What happened to my sweet innocent little boy and when did he turn into a terror if he doesn't get his way. Don't get me wrong I am in love with that little man the way he smiles at me and pats me on the back when he is trying to make me feel better. He has one of the kindest of hearts. To my little man and may you grow up strong and healthy and look back at this and know why your mother has grey hairs. Ha

Thanksgiving 2009

Ok so it has been awhile since I have updated my blog. We are officially into the holiday season with only 14 days left till Christmas. And this week I was struck down by the flu. Ugh. So now I have a lot of catching up to do. Jaren has been gone a lot lately with his new work schedule. And we miss his terribly. Because of the time difference I don't get to talk to him much. It seems as if I only get to know what is going on with him on Face book. Bah humbug. Chase is definitely a two year old and is trying to learn independence. Unfortunately for him he is only two. Kamryn is an angel. I cant believe how blessed I am to have such a great girl. I have to make sure I spend time with her because she is so easy to overlook sometime when Chase is an attention hog. But for the most part he is a great kid too. He is so gentle with Kamryn and plays with her. He has such a kind heart. She had two fist fulls of his hair and he just screamed for help instead of knocking her over and hurting her. So I am at ease when they are playing knowing he wont get too rough. Thanksgiving this year went over great again I must say. And we were very blessed with having Jaren here for it and some great pictures. I would say I am looking forward to Christmas, but this will be the first Christmas without Jaren since we have been married. We knew it was coming one day, but is still sad to know that we will be one short this year when we wake up Christmas morning.

Kamryn 9 months

My baby girl is already nine months old and is crawling all over the place. It just seemed like yesterday that she was this tiny baby in my arms and now she just wants to go go go. She follows Chase around and mimicking things he does. I keep saying her Christmas present to us is going to be her walking. Lets hope not and keep her a baby a little more longer.
