Well here we are all these months later and we are still struggling to lead normal lives. The kids are super resilient, they are doing much better than we are that's for sure. Well I should say that they are doing better than me. I think Ricky is fine, although he misses stuff his schedule is more so the same work, work and more work. He has taken time off from time to time, but maintains his schedule. I have been home with the kids doing a horrible job at playing teacher. I can not for the life of me get that part together, just kidding I can't get anything together. Okay well here goes the information on my boys. Thanksgiving was nice we spent it with my family at my Moms house. She cooked and I was still recovering from surgery so I took a charcuterie board which everyone loved. Spending time with family is the best, even if there are differences in opinions or what not coming together and being together is soothing to the soul. Christmas was kind of funny, we were at home just Ricky the kids and I eating dinner when my Mom called and was super bummed we were not there once we hung up Ricky said "Let's just go" and so we did. We literally finished dinner, opened up gifts packed and headed out. we barely made it before midnight on Christmas day. New years we spent two days in the snow with my brother and two days in the desert with family and friends. Although I missed ringing in the new year with my whole family the desert is my second favorite place to be. There were fireworks, food, friends and a big old fire. We took our Christmas tree and man did that thing burn quick. The kids had fun climbing the rocks and running around. It was nice to come home and relax, the holidays are usually pretty busy and crazy. Being home to rest and recover is also one of my favorite things to do. I'll post pics at a later time of our adventures. For now, I hope and pray that we get through this time and somehow that it makes us better people.
Sorry for the back to back posts but I have so much to catch up with that I don't want to miss a single thing. We decided to have a joint party for the boys because it just made sense, the weather would be great and it would be one big party instead of three smaller ones, and it worked out perfectly. We had the party on 9/8/12 Jacob's actual 2nd bday (worked out nicely). We put lots of work into making this party a hit for the boys. I painted some of the stuff and even Jackie (Ricky's sister) helped out! She was the one to give me the idea on the centerpieces and they turned out adorable. There was even a car painting station that the kids enjoyed. So here are some of the pictures.
