Update

Thursday we took Emma and Sophia to the dentist. They both did GREAT!! Sophia actually sat there with her mouth open. So cute! The dentist said they both look great. NO CAVITIES and they are both brushing GOOD! Yipeee that is what we like to hear. BUT he would like Emma to get BRACES before she is 10 years old. (she is 9 1/2 now) so we will have to see with our insurance and stuff. With Shaun not working and going to school full time there is no way it is going to happen if our insurance does not cover it. Braces cost $4,000.00 now a days. Well we will see how that goes I will keep you posted.

Friday I went to my moms to let Sophia play with the kids and then we went to Emma's school. Shaun dressed up like Santa and handed out 500 candy canes!!! (he did it last year also) He is such an amazing guy, I hope he knows how much we love him. He is such a loving husband and a hands on daddy.

Then we went to Anita's pinning ceremony. She graduated from Nursing school at Kent State. We are so proud of her, she has worked very hard to get this done. The girls were a little wild by then! (I guess they always are LOL) She had her graduation ceremony also. I took a couple pictures not sure how they turned out but I will post them later. Gavin looked very cute in his little sweater!

Well today we are off to make Christmas cookies at my moms. I also need to finish wrapping the girls presents and they are all over at my moms. We are giving Shaun a day to himself!! Does not happen very often. I hope everyone has a great weekend. We miss and love all of you.

Leigha Bell

Just a fast little update. (I will post more pictures later)
Leigha is officially a CRAWLER! She is getting her top 2 teeth and at least 1 bottom all at the same time also! She is into EVERYTHING.......Let the FUN begin. Now I will be very busy. LOL Emma and Sophia have dentist Appointments today, Shaun is dressing up to be Santa at school tomorrow, and the girls and I are making cookies at my moms Saturday so I will post pictures............

HERE comes SANTA Claus!!!!!

COUSIN NIGHT!!!

When things get scary you need a little love, so we needed an emergency cousin night just to feel the love. My Uncle is having some health problems and he will find out the results on Tuesday. So Katie and Dan wanted to have all of us hang out to feel the love. We are all stronger together than we are on our own. My Grandmother died of Lung Cancer and that is what they think my Uncle Chuck has. So we thought we needed some laughs!!! (We missed you Kevin and Adam)

I promised Katie I would bring a surprise that would make her pee her pants!!!! So here come SANTA!!!

Half way through the visit Shaun went to the bathroom and Santa came out!! Everyone lost it!! LOL I wish we would of video taped it.

Jason was showing Emma and Sophia the Wii. They loved it and now they want one really bad. ha ha (they are going to be so surprised!) It was our first time seeing the Wii. It was so funny!!!!

Katie and Sophia. Sophia was a wild women all night long!!

Mikey loves taking pictures with my kids. I swear he uses the pictures to attract the ladies!!! LOL J/K

Christmas Party

My dad is a member of the Legend in Madison and he signed my girls up for the Christmas Party. We had a great time. Santa showed up on the FIRE TRUCK!!! He sat and called each child up and had a present for them. The girls LOVED it. They had snacks and pizza.

This is Leigha on Santa's lap. She was not sure what to think. She got a Winnie the Pooh toy. She really liked it.

Sophia is hilarious!!! (Shaun has a Santa outfit) So before she went to get on Santa's lap she looked at me and said "Is Santa my daddy" and I said no that is not daddy. She said "oh, is that Santa real?" Well I was not sure what to say so I said "Yes of course" and then it was her turn to sit on Santa's lap, she went up and as soon as she got on his lap she pulled his beard down!!!!!! Santa just laughed!! I really thought my dad was going to fall over he thought it was so funny!
Sophia got a singing tea pot set. She really loved it.

Emma on Santa's lap. She got a Bakugan set. She was not sure what it was but after she opened it she was very excited. We are still not 100% what they are. But she wants more. (they are little balls and when they go on the special cards they spring open into little dinosaur creatures)

Sophia, Grandma Linda, Leigha, and Emma

We had a really great time!

Gavin and Anita (sorry Anita this picture was too great to not post)

UPDATE on the family.

Sophia had a small scratch on her nose and she went up stairs and put a band aid over her nose! LOL

We put the tree up a week ago and just decorated it TODAY ha ha

We went to the mall to see Santa and Arthur was there! Sophia was so excited. Both girls did get to talk to Santa and they were very excited! We did not get any pictures though. The cheapest package was $17 - 40! Wow Good think Shaun has a suit we can get FREE pictures, LOL.

Sophia was helping clean and the sweeper was too loud so she put on Emma's ear muffs. LOL

Our life is still crazy but we are all healthy and doing great. Shaun is almost done with his semester. I think he has 1 more exam. I will be very busy next week with PTO it is SANTA SHOP. It is so fun to help out at school. I am also very busy with Primary at church. I am trying to get everything ready for January!!!!! The girls keep me very busy, they are all so cute! I love them so much. They are so excited it SNOWED today! They are very excited about Christmas also.

Emma is doing GREAT in school. She has been on the Merit roll for 2 six weeks. She loves school especially her SLE classes and recess! She is very excited about Christmas coming up but does not know what to ask Santa for.

Sophia is wild as ever! LOL She is very excited about Christmas she has asked Santa for Uno Moo and a Dora mermaid. She can not wait to find them under the tree. She is still working on the potty it has been crazy.

Leigha is doing great. She has mastered Da Da, Clapping, Rolling all over the house (LOL), and she scoots everywhere. She is almost crawling!!! Baby gates are going to have to come out soon! She is not too excited about her baby food but I am working on it really hard. She is starting to like it a little better. She is a very happy girl. She has her 2 front teeth peeking through!!!! So by next week she should have 2 teeth!!!! Yikes......

Sophia trying on Leigha's snowsuit! She is so funny.

Santa Express

We went on a train ride in Jefferson, Ohio to see Santa. We had about a 30 minute ride and then we picked up Santa and Mrs. Claus. Santa gave the kids a present and went around and talked with each one of them! Then we had a 30 minute ride back. We had a lot of fun. Shaun, myself, the 3 girls and my parents Grandma Linda and Papa went.
