Sick of being sick!
Jack got it back. He was running a fever of 102.5 last night! Will it ever end???
Ella is feeling better though, still cranky but better. Taylor isn't complaining as much about her ear, so I think she is feeling better as well.
Hoping tomorrow is a feel better day for everyone over here!!!

What is going on in the Chomas house you ask?
Well just ear infections! Another trip to the docs for us. Jack was 2 weeks ago, now Taylor and Ella this week. They know us by name there. So the girls are on antibiotics for that, hoping they get to feeling better quick. Jamie is fighting something as well, so we are the sick household!
All I can say is bring on spring! I'm ready to get everyone better and trips outside sound good as well!

Not feeling so hot...

This is NOT something you see often from Ella, her falling asleep just because? She was so quiet downstairs, so I went to check on her, and there she was, all snuggled up on the couch with her blanket. Poor thing ended up with the same cold Jack had...

Addi is the big 1!!! But she is a little 1, hehe! I love that little peanut! So sweet and tiny! She has the biggest bluest eyes, and such beautiful blonde hair, I could just eat her up! Addi's wasn't feeling too hot for her party, or her photo shoot, poor little thing.















Leah turned the big 6 months on the 21st! I can't believe it, time sure flies. I love her big brown eyes and all that long dark hair! She is sooo snuggly, nuzzles right into your shoulder when you hold her. And oooh the smiles that Leah gives, I could get lost in them!















Here is Aubrey at 4 (going on 16). I love how she poses for me, giving me those sly smiles, she is a super model! So into her clothing, I love the way she dresses! No hot clothes, in the middle of winter she is in capris and a short sleeved shirt! So much like her cousin Taylor!

Messy little man!

That is Jack, can't hit his mouth for anything. Each meal is like this, a lot of clean up! Apparently Spaghetti-o's stain to, did not know that! Even with clean finger foods there is a mess, cause he is a dipper. EVerything has to be dipped in order for Jack to eat it! Oh and the one of him looking away is cause he does not like when I tell him he is messy!

I can for I want...

Yes I've used that title before, but this time it is for me! Yes we had to clean out the old house for the next renter, but why not bring my camera and use some of my fav back drops and take pics of the kids, hehe! It will be awhile before I can do it againg, so I had fun and got a few! I miss my old house... Ok, not the size of it, but the cuteness of it!
So here are Ella and Jack in all their nuttiness!

I can for I want!!!
This is what Ella says instead of I can if I want, it just cracks me up! It is usually accompanied by pooty lips and crossed arms as well!!!

Watch them learn, in this case, listen to them learn! Jack is starting to put together sentences! THey are cave man like, but hey, they are a start! He started saying "no thanks" when he doesn't want something. Yesterday I asked him if he wanted to go bye bye, he told me, "shoes coat hat bye bye" then he pointed to me and said "mommy shoes coat hat bye bye", just a reminder in case I forgot to put mine on hehe!
Today I was tickling his belly and he told me "mommy stop belly". It is also amazing the rate he is picking up words! His vocabulary multiplies daily! Of course I can't quite understand some of the words, but most of them are quite recognizable!

Poor Cameron...
I'll start out by saying he is a good kid, a really good kid. He does have a serious problem with remembering things though, typical for a 9 year old boy. Like leaving coats, hats, gloves, boots at school or on the bus. Forgetting where he put his video games! Lucky his head is permantly attached to those shoulders!
So this morning he is all upset because he forgot to do his homework, he had 10 extra minutes this morning so I told him to get it out and work on it. He tells me what did he do in 2007 that needs improving on in 2008... Well let's see, perhaps FORGETTING??? So he writes it down.
Fast forward 6 hours, I run into the bathroom to wash my hands and stumble upon this...







Guess he has a lot more work to do in 2008!

How could I forget to mention cutting down the biggest Christmas tree ever to make it into our home!!!! I'm so bad sometimes, but these pics are too funny not to post! Another frigid day for getting a tree, we bundled up and headed to the tree farm. Jack was not happy to be wearing a hat and gloves! Jamie had his dorky hat as usual! We circled the lot, found our tree, Cam got to work cutting it down and helped drag it to the mini van. Well I had to help lift it as Cam is too short. And that was not an easy task! Look at it up there! IT was sticking straight up 6 feet! We got some crazy looks driving down the road with our hazzards on! Getting it in the big doorwall was not easy either, that was a BIG tree!

All dressed up...
And some place to go!!! I decided this New Years me and Jamie were doing something fun! No more sitting on our butts, we are too old for that! We found a fund raiser through the school, appetizers, dinner and drinks, so we got tickets! Corey and Anna were going to go with us! The newlyweds! Anna wanted to know what I was wearing and I was already for jeans. Well then we started talking and decided to call and see if there was a dress code. Lucky we did!!! Turns out our jeans turned into dresses and the men were supposed to wear jackets! Corey wore his tux and kept getting mistaken for the wait staff!!! We made it past midnight, heck till after 1 am, and had a great time!

Rose Petal College!
One of Ella's fav Christmas gifts, she asked for it for months, every time we saw it on tv, or when I was looking it up on the computer! The hard to get item this Christmas, mommy was smart and ordered it months ahead of time! Just days after I ordred it I was going to order more pieces and noticed everything was out of stock! I got lucky! Well Ella got lucky! It is actually the Rose Petal Cottage, but I so love what Ella calls it more!
