Not A Seizure...

This post is just more of an F.Y.I. for Clint's family. However, I will explain the story for the rest of you!
At the Ferguson Christmas Party the kids were eating at the kid table, Clint and I were over at another table. Then suddenly Clint's brother started yelling for us. Preston had fallen off of his chair and they believed he had a seizure. After Preston was alert enough to talk to me we discussed what had happened. I wasn't convinced he had a seizure, but wasn't convinced he hadn't. We ended up making an appointment with the Doctor this week. He listened to Preston's story of what had happened. He thinks that Preston just coughed, loosing his breathe, which made him pass out. (That's what I thought had happened, too.) He also informed us that after you pass out it is normal to twitch sometimes. Preston is fine and seems to be in great health. If he has more episodes of passing out the Doctor said he would do further testing.
I am thankful once again that there are so many Priesthood leaders in and around our home. That when we need, we can call upon them for help. Preston received a blessing right after this incident, I felt immediate comfort for him. Thank you everyone who was concerned for him and the love you show to Preston.

11 Days 'til Christmas...

Today we went to Addyson's Christmas Program! It was super cute!! She did a great job, you could hear her singing above everyone else! I love her little voice and I am so glad we share a love of music.

12 Days 'til Christmas

To start off our 12 Days of Christmas celebration we decided to make and decorate sugar cookies! My Mom and Nila came over to help, because it's a messy job! The kids were HYPER beyond belief. Then we delivered them to some of our new neighbors.






Santa Pictures!

We have already seen Santa twice this holiday season. Once at a family party and once at Breakfast with Santa! The kids love it!!







Hmmm, Where did we leave off??

I kind of fell off the blogging wagon! :/ So here is a brief catch up!!

I guess the last time I posted was right before our big move. We closed on our home in mid-October, and as quickly as we signed, we moved in. Again, thank you to everyone who has helped with the move! We are loving the home and still adjusting to the changes... our new ward, schools, commuting, etc... I really do feel like I couldn't have found a better home for my family. And I promise to post pictures soon. (I am waiting for all the rooms to be clean first--hahah!) My favorite part about moving to a new home is, it's a blank canvas, ready to be decorated. I have had several afternoons cutting vinyl, painting frames, and trying to ad a little extra to the house. Here are just a couple things I have done so far.















Halloween was fun! We live in a great neighborhood! Lots of spirited Halloweeners!! It made Trick-or-Treating super exciting! The kids got PLENTY of candy and I gained PLENTY of pounds!

Next thing on the list, we finally celebrated Preston and Tyson's birthdays! We were planning on Harry Potter and at the last minute I changed it to Angry Birds. It was perfect. We had fun launching birds at balloon pigs. Decorating Angry Bird cake pops. And making Angry Bird Masks. It was a lot of fun to catch up with old friends and some family members.




Right after the birthday celebrating, my brother David returned home!! He has been serving a full time mission for our church in Seattle, Washington. It's great to have him back!

Thanksgiving was right around the corner at this point. We were lucky enough to have my Dad, Mary, and step siblings come and stay with us. We shopped, played a VIOLENT game of spoons, watched football, played the wii, ATE, and just enjoyed one another's company!



Following Thanksgiving, Addyson turned 4!! Hopefully soon we can give her the Pinkalicious Party she so desires! In the meantime, we enjoyed some funfetti cake and birthday presents with my family and cousins!

Since then we have been BUSY!! Finals week, 2 Christmas Parties, Christmas shopping, school projects, The Forgotten Carols, and normal life stuff. I have joined the choir at church. I was forced, I tell ya! (lol) And I am loving decorating for the holidays. Right now I have an easier time posting pictures on facebook. I have been super busy with school and next semester will only be a bigger load for me.
And some good news, I passed my final with a perfect score!! I got 100%. My professor was extremely nice in her final comments to me. She said, "Excellent work.... I rarely give a perfect score for anything...I didn't find a single error in your paper...You should be proud of your progress." I can't lie, that makes me feel awesome! I only missed 17 points out of the whole class. So for my first college class, in over 10 years, I passed with an A!
I will try and keep up with blogging this time!!
