Catching Up....

I am truly sorry to all of you who read my blog. I have done a terrible job of keeping up.

First things first, school is over for the semester. YEAH! There were days I wondered if myself as well as my family were going to make it through. Well, it is over and Mrs. Watkins first grade class HERE I COME!!! I am sooo excited. I have had the opportunity to meet my class and I think that we are going to have a great time and learn alot from each other.

While this semester seemed to take a toll on me, my husband, my kids, and my home we all seemed to survive, but now I am trying to catch up. My husband is so glad I am taking over house duties again. I have been doing laundry for 3 days and every 45 min. I put in a new load. That's how many dirty clothes we had. My girls have wanted my attention 24/7, but that's OK with me. I missed spending good quality time with them.

Josie recently turned 1!! I can't believe my baby is one! She has grown up so fast and I feel like I have missed out on alot while being in school. I feel guilty, but she knows I love her very, very much. I will post pictures of Josie's birthday very soon. I broke my camera while on vacation in Utah and I have to get the pictures off my dad's camera in order to post them.

Emma is doing very well and is still making us laugh all the time. She has been a little mischevious lately. Mom and Dad have threatned to have a talk with santa a few times. Emma has asked santa for a bra on numerous occasions and she keeps begging us, "Don't take the bra!"

Our little peanut seems to be doing well. I go to the doctor tomorrow and then I think I will get to find out what I am having on the next visit. YEAH! Scott told Emma previously that we were not going to discuss girls names only boys. Now, when someone asks her if mommy is going to have a baby she tells them that daddy said we are not allowed to talk about it. That's what happens when you try to talk to a 3 1/2 year old about babies.

Last Saturday we attended Scott's work's Christmas party at French Lick. Considering we had 4 pregnant women sitting at our table and might I add one that delivered that following Monday we were pretty patient with our husbands. :) I had a good time getting reaquainted with some girlfriends that I haven't got to sit down and talk to for awhile.

I will post pictures later when my girls are not screaming and trying to kill each other. But for now...

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and our family wishes each of you a very Merry Christmas!

I've been threatening my girls that presents were going to start be taken away from under the tree and they would have to earn them back! ha ha...I wish I had the back bone to do it! It's a good thing there isn't a real naughty or nice list because I am afraid the Graber girls names would be on it! This month they have added an extra dose of fighting with each other over piddly things! Maybe they are getting hormonal??? Or maybe it's me! ha ha. But they are about to drive their daddy over the edge! ha ha..maybe they are just ready for Christmas Break! I know I am! Hope your family has a nice Christmas!

lol- i don't know what the secret is! he has always been a good sleeper. he is just really NOT a morning person! on normal days when i have to get him up he whines and cries around about how he doesn't want to get up and he is too tired! we tried moving his bedtime to earlier and that didn't help- he's really just NOT a morning person! lol. ryan is the same way even though he has to get up early, he's a big fan of the snooze button. me on the hand, i'm a huge morning person. i feel the most productive in the morning.
