Post Holidays
Holly mother. That was one BUSY holiday! Gah!
It was a whole lot of fun.... well mostly. The visiting with the cousins was great, seeing the fam was awsome... new years rocked... but sometime between xmas and new years danny hit a moose and wrote the car off... Rowan went into a sleep regression, and stoped nursing... not so fun!!!! Everything is mostly straightened out for now. We got a new car, I got Rowan nursing again, he is sleeping better, and we have a whole lot of awsome new memories.
My kids got utterly spoiled this Christmas. They got a HUGE play house (yes a life sized playhouse now resides in my basement playroom), a kitchen centre, a wagon, numorous books, dools, blocks, cars, trucks, and trinket toys. I think its time to empty the toy bin, and go through ashlyn's room and the play room. The kids have taken over the house!
New years was a blast! We played a murder mystery game. Danny and I were the only ones who guessed who the murder was, which turned out to be our cousin Nathan. The most exciting thing about new years for me was actually the fact that ashlyn went to sleep in some one else's house with no crying!!! I know thats such a mom thing to say, but seriously!!! Shes never done that before!
That brings us to the year 2010, which Danny and I have decided is our year of change. It starts today, with the for sale sign out relator put on out front law today! Stay tuned to see what happens, and where we end up! :)
Later Dayz...

Christmas
Christmas will be summed up in one word for my kidlets this year. SPOILED!!! They are deffinately not lacking in gifts this year. The tree is already stuffed full of presents, and there are more to come. We will have a lot of people here on Christmas morning. I am very excited to see how Ashlyn reacts to the opening of gifts :) I am also excited to see our neice Zoe, who is only 5 weeks older than Rowan! Last time I seen her, she was only 6 weeks old, now she will be 4.5 months! Also, all dannys cousins will be up, As well as Marina. Not very often everyone is together like that!
We had a rather big even here today. My nephew Ayeden James turned the big 1! He is getting to be such a big boy. I can't beleive he is already a year old. I had the pleasure of being in the delivery room when he was born, as well as now babysitting him since the begining of November when his mom went back to work, so I am pretty close with this little guy. I know him inside out, as well as I know my own children. I can't believe he is already a year old. Ayeden's stats are: 22lbs, 6 teeth, and not yet walking. It was just a few days after he was home from the hospital that I requested my pregnancy books back from his mom, as I had just found out I was preggo with Rowan... geesh that seems like it was just yesterday!
Well we got lots of snow here now :) the doggies and kiddies are enjoying romping around in it. Ashlyn loves nothing more than to get all bundled up and play in the snow or go for a sled ride. Rowan would prefer not to get his snow suit on, but he always has a big sleep afterwards, so I think its worth it! He He He. Sometimes I even get a nap in after! A rarety!
I am not enjoying this weather. Makes driving miserable. By the time I pack 3 kids in carseats, 2 diaperbags, 3 kids snowsuits, hats mits and sets of boots, extra blankets, and my own snow gear, there isnt much room for anything else.
1 huges batch of Bananna bread, 3 pans of better than chocolate bar squres, 1 pan of matramony cake, 1 pan of reece squares, 1 batch or maccaroons (that didnt turn out so great), 2 batches of snowballs, 2 batches of melting moments. 4 batches of chocolate chip cookies, and 8 batches of butter tart squares later, I am finally finish our Christmas Holiday baking. I have to thank my mom, who spent 5 full days cleaning up her kitchen behind me, as I baked, as well as my kids who were amazing during the whole process. Of course, the weather had to hit -40 c for 3 of my 5 baking days. My poor kids got drug out in that weather, traveled an hr, spent all day at gramma's, and traveled an hr back to Dawson. They were such troopers. All 3 of them! :)
Well I think that is all for now. I will try and update and let you all know how Christmas was! I will have pictures next time too!
Much love:

10 long weeks
This saturday will make 10 weeks since Rowan joined our family! I can't beleive time went by so fast!!! He is a pretty good baby, usually pretty content. He usually sleeps a good 7hr chunk at night before getting up to nurse. The last few nights he has been nursing non-stop. He must be going through a growth spurt; it makes for one tierd mommy!!
Recently, I have started daycare with my 11 month old nephew. He is here most week days. I am ejoying having all the time in the world to spend with him. He gets along really well with my other daycare boy (Kalyb) and Ashlyn loves having Ayeden around. She is very helpful when everyone is here too. She loves to fetch diapers, unload the dishwasher (well pass me the clean dishes), and throw stuff in the garbage. She also takes toys to the Ayeden and Rowan, who aren't mobile enough to get their own!
I am getting very excited for the up comming holiday!!! Christmas truely is my favorite time of the year. Next weekend I am going to be pulling out the decorations, and getting a tree! I've already started shopping, and am about half done. Mom and I have made out baking list, and figured out how much ingredience we will need. We will be starting the bake sessions soon! :) :) This year Christmas morning and supper are at my house! This is a big change from usually having it on the farm, but we decided with everyone being in Dawson, it was easier to get Mom and Dad and Linc to come to Dawson. No travelling on crappy roads for us. That's good becuase that means we are able to spend Christmas evening with Daniels family :) Last year it was a big rush and Ashlyn was soooo cranky. We didn't enjoy it at all.
Well not really anything else to talk about...

Quick Update
Just a quick update... I currently dont have a computer. :( My desktop is at a friends house. He is trying to get it a wee bit more functional, and isnt having much success. My sisters home for the weekend, so I have access to her laptop! Well we had halloween, a first bath together, and our first snowfall/sled ride. Ashlyns good, and Rowan is growing up so fast. He is 7 weeks today, and weights a whopping 15lbs! Mommy makes good milk! I did want to add a couple pics to show what we have been up to lately, and those of you on facebook can check out my video.
