MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I thought I should hurry up and get a blog up before Christmas cuz We'll have a lot to write about and we don't want another super duper long blog. Life has still been crazy! We're all done with crafts except for on ebay if I ever get any time to list them. I have my next building to clean but can't seem to find time or sitters so I can get started We'll see if it happens. I start school January 11th so life's going to get even more crazy. That's all for current.

December 9th my Grandma Hovik passed. She had four Hearth Attacks and was taken off Life Support and died a couple hours after. We had her funeral December 12th. It was a very very spiritual event for me. We see birth, and all the things that happen after, blessings, baptisms, missions, marriages, sealings, endowments etc. It was amazing to see the end of a life and all that it brings. In a sense it brought closure to my life. I was able to help dress my Grandmother in her Temple Clothes Friday. I was terrified about seeing a dead body. I didn't think about touching her. I got there and my Aunt grabbed my hand and said touch her! My stomache exploided! But I got through it and it was one of the top five best days of my life. Though the week events had me completely drained and very very tired. I didn't get much sleep cuz I got kicked to the couch by my own child. He refused to let me sleep in the same room as him. Not fun!

During the week in Utah I was able to get a lot of errands done and see some friends that We've missed a ton and even got to eat at IN and OUT! Yum.

After a week away from my husband and around a lot of family I was very happy to come home to Wyoming. And so was Emry! We walked in and if you were here you would have heard me scream. I completely forgot what my house looked like! CHRISTMAS! So happy. And I put Emry down and he squealed as he adventured into every nook and cranny of the apartment. He was so happy but no daddy was found for a few hours. We love to come home and hate to leave.

I think that's all the news we have. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Emry With Grandma Ready to go Walking Christmas Lights.

Emry with My favortie cousin Brian and his wife Amanda in the background.

I got several boxes of clothes for Emry and I was in his room going through them and stuff and I turned around to find this. My son LOVES to take things out of boxes and laundry baskets. I have never seen him get into one himself. I can say now that he's done it Twice!!! He's hilarious.

YAY DECEMBER!!

My Heavens it has been a very long month. Emry has grown up a lot this month. He started really crawling. At the moment I'm very mad at him. He's become what I call the Terror. He's broken three keys on my laptop now including the backspace and spacebar. Two keys I use most often. So now I have to hit the key in the exact right spot in order to make it work. LOVE IT! Everything takes twelve times as long to write now. He's also broken the Curtains in our living room. The vinyl kind that came with the apartment. He pulled down the decorative piece that the curtains were laying on top of and then tried to pull the individual blinds down one by one. LOVE IT! I'm going to blame this one thing on him too. He broke my phone. Really I did it with my elbow(Devin tells me daily that they are dangerous and now he's correct). I was getting out of bed and didn't want to step on Emry so I was manuevering awkwardly around him so I wouldn't step on him and ended up using my phone as an elbow support to hoist myself up. LOVE IT! He's also broken several other things around the place and in constantly into EVERYTHING! I do truly love this part. He's so big now and so grown up. He's a brand new kid that has A LOT of opinions.

We had a couple dr visits this month. The first he had an ear infection but went in for a cough that he had for more than three weeks. Never found out what that was but cleared up with the antibiotics for the ear infection. Then about a week later we returned for his well check/sick visit because he once again was broken out bad on his face. He's very allergic to many things and were having a fun time trying to figure out what the many things are. So far its pretty much any and all fruit, and dogs. He also had thresh. Which he in turn gave to me. So many pharmacy visits later we are all better. Except Emry is supposedly teething but I'll never know because he refuses to let me put my finger in his mouth to feel, not to mention attempting to look at it. I think I'll figure it out when he bites me but so far it always feels like he's biting me so once he draws blood i'll know.

We also had a craft fair that we participate in on the 21st. It was fun and definately an experience. We evened out so overall it was an okay day though the three previous nights of no sleep was totally not worth it. Did I mention that during this time I was also doing construction cleaning. I had twelve units at about 7 hours a piece. After it was over I literally had blisters on my palms, every inch of my hands were cracked and bleeding, and my body was the most sore it's ever ever ever been including child birth. I had to saran wrap my hands after putting mounds of lotion on them and stick them in socks for three days before they finally started to heal. Man the check better be worth it!

Devin helped me out a lot during this time and Emry spent a lot of time with Grandma Anderson. Devin has hit what they call 'peak' season so Emry and I won't be seeing too much of him. He'll leave for work around 6 and won't be home until around 7 or 8 if he's lucky. And the bad weather hasn't even hit yet.

Thanksgiving was spent here in Wyoming at the Anderson's trailer. It was a good day. Devin spent most of it cutting wood for more craft projects. I'll be posting a blog devoted to the crafts. I still have a bit left that I need to sell if anyone is interested in taking it off my hands.

I honestly didn't even take many pictures during the last month because I have been so dang busy but Ill put on a few.

That's it for now.

Emry's Awesome hairdo that daddy perfected with shampoo. He's starting to get some more hair!

Emry saying 'ello! He's been chewing on his fingers this last week. That's his christmas present from mommy(blue table). He loves it so much. and yes this is our living room/bedroom now. We moved Emry into the one bedroom to see if it helped when he was sick and it did. He sleeps 11-12 hours again. So he's king of the house now:)
