I was getting out the Christmas decorations and Memphis found this hat and wanted his picture taken.
Kayzee's hair is so beautifully curly after a bath but once her hair dries it goes straight so I had to get a picture with her curly locks.
Playing peek-a-boo...where's Kayzee?
I got this dress at Kid to Kid for $2! She got a lot of compliments at church. Love my pretty girl:)
DANNY: Still working hard (there is a hint of more hours at work) and doing side jobs. We went to his work's Christmas work party and they always have raffle drawings for prizes and we have never really won anything. Well this year we would have won a 37 inch TV but the guy who cut in line in front of us won. The next prize was an iPad and I told Danny I would rather win that and then they called his number! We were both in shock at first but now we have a really nice iPad and we LOVE it! I have always wanted one but never had the money for it so getting one for FREE is even better:)
ALEENA: So I went to the specialist to finally get my crazy root canal finished. The shots all wore off 1/2 way through the procedure and nothing he gave me worked after that so he tried to hurry and finish and I just cried. Worst pain I have ever felt (even worse than giving birth to Kayzee a naturale!) And he tried to do the root canal through the temporary crown so it fell off and he couldn't get it back on and my dentist couldn't see me till the next day so I couldn't eat anything for 24 hours. Finally today I am pain free and have permanent crowns. Hopefully that is the end of it all and now we just owe the two dentists thousands of dollars. UGH!
I also went to my doctor for my first month of weight loss weigh-in. I got on the scale and I had lost 20 lbs!!! The doctor said I had lost the most weight he had ever seen out of all his patients in one month. I didn't even exercise I just ate better! The doctor had told me to not change what I was eating just eat less so that is what I did. But I also stopped soda and fast food. I didn't really count calories I just ate fewer snacks and watched my portion sizes. I also only ate half of what I used to eat for dinner and ate the other half for lunch the next day. Now I am having trouble losing more so obviously I need to add in exercise. I have done really well maintaining my weight though this month. Now the exercising begins! So my total weight loss for 2011 is 30 lbs and I want to try and lose 50 more!
I don't have the gym to teach PE in for the month of December (because of all the activities going on) so I teach Health. I have a trailer to teach it in and let's just say it is the worst part of the year. The kids would rather be doing PE and it's the holidays so it is just a hard few weeks. Oh well, it is over with and I actually kept up on my grading and got all 5,000 assignments graded before my Christmas break! Now I can enjoy my time off with my kids. I teach a certain health program that the school district recommends and I have to report what lessons I teach to the state of Utah for funding. I just found out that I was chosen as the best rep for the program in the district so I won a free concert for our school! It's nice to have all my hard work recognized!
Memphis is also very funny and likes to laugh (even fake laugh). The other day he was eating fruit snacks. He bit one in half, stuck the other half to his nose and said, "Look mommy, I'm a clown!" Then he started laughing hysterically at himself. I have no idea where he learned about clowns but it was really funny. Today he was eating lucky charms and he grabbed the green hat shaped marshmallow that has a clover on it, put it on his head and sang, "Yo Ho, Yo Ho a pirate's life for me, mommy I'm a pirate!" Seriously where does he get these ideas? He can actually have a conversation on the phone and has answered questions; it is amazing to see him grow up. I LOVE MEMPHIS!
KAYZEE: Is still not sleeping through the night except for the past week. She is up every 4 hours screaming and the dr. said just let her scream because we have tried everything. This past week has been nice so hopefully she is FINALLY outgrowing this whole not sleeping thing. She is also still on a laxative. The dr. said she might be on it for the rest of her life but he hopes she grows out of it too. Her belly button hernia is still there but it is slowly going away but if it is still there by September than we might be contemplating surgery to fix it. My mom said that is what happened to me so hopefully it goes away on its own.
Kayzee had her 15 month well-baby check-up. Her weight and height were exactly the same as Memphis at 15 months (crazy!) 25 lbs and 32 inches (75%). She also got her shots and this time she didn't even cry! Go girl:) She LOVES books. She always has a book in her hand or is always saying book! She also is very friendly and will try to cuddle with anyone. She loves to laugh and fake laugh like her brother. I LOVE KAYZEE:)
***We are going to be having Christmas twice this year. We are having a Thorpe Christmas on Thursday and opening all the presents from my side of the family. Then we will be having a Royer Christmas on Christmas because we will be in Blanding. I didn't want to lug all the presents down to Blanding just to lug them all back so that is why we are doing it all twice. We will be in Blanding for 10 days so hopefully that is enough time for Danny and his dad to get an elk!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
