A long overdue update!

Kaylee with Jordan's train hat on

Kelsey with Jordan's train hat on

first i wanted to say sorry for not updating sooner. it seems that every time i get a minute, updateing the blog goes on the back burner. secondly i want to apologize for not getting a good picture of toya's haircut again. i have some pictures and you can see her haircut, but not good. anyway, onto the news portion.

the girls finally got their tubes in. of course they were the hit of the hospital, mainly because people were amazed that they truly do everything together, and of course because they are just soooo cute!!! it was not all roses though, we did have some thorns. first, we went down sunday night as the girls had to be at the hospital for 6:30 am and we live an hour away. the hotel wasn't the greatest, but i didn't see any roaches. the girls slept on a double bed. they had cribs, but wanted me to pay $10 extra per crib!!!! so i said no thanks! i now realize that i should have paid the extra. the girls did not go to sleep till 1 am. yes, you read that right. then, i finally got to go to sleep only to be woken up at 3:30 by kaylee screaming because she had fallen off the bed. she went right back to sleep, but of course it was a lost cause for me. anyway, the surgery itself went well. the dr. said it was a good thing they did the tubes because kaylee had lots of fluid behind both ears, and kelsey had puss fluid behind her ears. they both handled the anesthesia well, of course they were a little cranky when waking up from it, but have had no problems since. they have acted alot better i think, that could be just me noticing because that is what i expected. anyway, another hurdle overcome.

we also went to a christmas party at the firestation on sunday. the kids loved it and i have some pictures. my kids are near the front in the pictures. kelsey's present was first and she was so excited. she got a baby doll. kaylee was hilarious as her present was almost last and after kelsey got hers, she just stood there looking back and forth as everyone else got theirs. it was soo cute. you can see her just standing there in the pictures. i felt soo bad for her, but she handled it much better than i thought she would. she of course got a baby as well. had kaylee gotten her doll first, you better beleive kelsey would have been stealing it from her, so i'm glad it was kaylee waiting and not kelsey. jordan was more than excited to find that santa brought him trains! latoys loved her hand held tetris game. it really was alot of fun for them. here are some pictures:

Kelsey gets her presentNotice Kaylee looking around :(
Jordan gets his and Kaylee is still looking :(
Toya gets hers (notice the haircut), and Kaylee still waits!
Finally, notice the shock on her face that she finally has one!!! :)

on to some sad news. we had a teenage kid in our church pass away on saturday afternoon in a car accident. i didn't know him all that well, but he was not like any other teenager i have met, myself including. he was so committed to his family, and especially church. he didn't care what others thought and stood his ground on what he beleived and was very open about it. he was a popular kid. he wanted to be a youth pastor. his myspace page says alot about him. his idols were our pastor and our youth pastor. i am going to include some links for those that are interested. the first two were in our local paper, followed by a link to his obituary. the last two will be a link to a news story on our local tv station and a link to his myspace. i normally would not pass on things like this as i really didn't know him that well, but i think his testimony needs to be told. here are the links:

anyway, that is all for tonight. have a great evening.

I am glad you updated, I have been waiting to hear about your tubes. I am sure you are relieved its over! What a ordeal to go through with twins! I wanted to add I think its unforgiveable to not give your girls cribs without charging some silly extra charge! They could be sued for a baby rolling out of a bed on to some hard, dirty hospital floor. If it were me, I would be calling to complain! Its makes no sense to me why they would have the right to charge you extra, its taking advantage of you during a difficult time. Wouldn't the insurance have paid? Anyway I just can't imagine my girls sleeping a wink like that, not to mention me. I would have gone and gotten port a cribs, although I guess it was too far. Regardless the important thing is it went very well.

Looks like a fun party. Our Santa gave out gifts too, but my Sydney got so ill we had to run (literally) out before he came. Oh well the twins don't like Santa anyways!

Anyway, my week has slowed down. I have still piles to do and I am way behind but I have no deadlines to meet with all my children dressed to impress, I hate doing all three girls hair and clothing alone, and then struggling to get somewhere in time! UGH!
