Just some catching up
So I haven't posted anything in a while because of just the craziness that is life. The kids both got really sick with super high fever that reached the max of 106.2 for Caden and 105.6 for Casey so I was a very nevervous mommy for awhile. Caden's fever was also joined by him throwing up because undoubtedly that is how his body deals with extremely high fevers. After numerous trips to the Dr. Wilson's office and a trip to DSI for some blood work for poor Caden we still are unsure what it was that made them so sick but frankly I don't care because God was so good! He had Casey have an ear infection along with all the other junk so she had to be put on meds for that and amazingly they cleared up the throat, fever, and everything else even though she actually had a virus not whatever they other thing is. So we put Caden on them too and it was all better YEA!!! Another God thing is that because they worked on our kids they gave the meds to another little kid that was sick with the same stuff and it cleared him up too so I am sure his mom was very happy too. : )
Now that they are better we took them to Disney for the day and had a great this week. Animal Kingdom was the park we went to and it was really fun. Both kids had a great time and they really liked the animals but they definetly like Magic Kingdom better I think because it is more Mickey Mouse. It was a long day Mom and I left at 5:30 a.m. and we got home around 6:30 p.m. but it saved us lots of money doing it that way and we are already planning on doing it again!
Caden and Casey have been enjoying playing outside whenever they get the chance and Caden loves his bike though he still won't use the pedals! Casey is walking so well and running everywhere. She is talking really good now too she can repeat just about anything you want her too. She still gets confused though sometimes and will call a cow a dog or cock-a-dodado when she should bark but we are working on it and it provides a lot of entertainment!
Joe has been very busy with work and he had to take care of the kids last saturday afternoon when he got off work because I had to take my "super dooper pills" that pretty much knock me out for the day for my head. He was great and even cooked dinner the next day when we had friends over! He made his awesome hamburgers and some new recipe that he saw on the food network for nachos that was made with potatos...it was so AMAZING! He has to make it again for Super Bowl Sunday but other than that he is hopefully going to be able to relax this weekend after work.
Well this is long so I am going to end this I will post again another day : )

Christmas 08
Christmas is my favorite holiday and one of the main reason (aside from the whole reason we celebrate which is Jesus) is that everyother year the whole family gets together. This year was that year!! My sister, Heidi, and her family can down and the best part of that was Heidi and Anna stayed for a whole extra week! Aunt Janet, Uncle Larry and Ty came down for a whole week and that made my little boy so happy since Ty is his hero.
We kicked it off with our annual gingerbread party the Sunday before Christmas and everyone had such a great time. It is even better this year as the kids were able to participate. Caden of course had to help Ty because that is just they way it has to be : )
In the week that followed it was full of fun. Uncle Larry took Dave and Joe fishing twice while the girls all went shopping. Joe caught his first Bass and another fish which I have forgotten the name of but it was yummy! Caden got to go fishing in Uncle Larry's bait bucket which made U. Larry an all time favorite person. Ty pretended to eat the little shiners and Caden gave them kisses (we got it all in the pictures I am posting)
Christmas Eve was at the Krouts as always and was a very fun time for everyone the kids had a great time but were very tired by the end of it. Casey got to show off a little bit of her walking skills but she was extremely shy that night so didn't want to be the center of attention. Anna shined though as she usually does. She is such a star!
Christmas Morning was awesome. The kids had so much under the tree. Anna and Caden got Tricycles and Casey and Anna got kitchens so the play time was never ending. Casey loves to play cook and Caden just rides the tric all over the house though he still doesn't want to work the pedals correctly he finds them annoying. Anna had to pack up her toys because her daddy was driving home the next day and all the toys wouldn't fit on the plane when it was her turn to go home. She shared Casey and Caden's toys though which worked out as they got mostly matching gifts. Caden also got a fishing pole which Ty showed him how to use.
The rest of the time together was really nice we let the kids play in the sandbox, swim, and just run around and I got some great sister time with Heidi which was much needed. Oh Dad got Mom a Wii so of course Joe has throughly enjoyed that and went out and got Tiger Woods Golf for it and he has been a very happy boy.
My biggest present from my husband was that I thought he was going to work all two weeks that he had off at UPS to make extra money but that meant I wouldn't see him from 8 in the morning till 9 or so at night and I was a little upset about it. Well Joe called his boss and talked to him and his boss agreed that he needed to spend the time with his family and that there would be plenty of opportunites for him to make more hours another time. Joe didn't tell me he called though so when he hung up and came out of the room he told me he was off! He only had to work his normal shift at night! I was so excited and if I didn't get anything else for Christmas it would have been okay by me. My husband is the greatest!
So this was a very long post and I still know I didn't put all the fun stuff in there that we did but I will stop now. Enjoy the pictures. We actually didn't get as many as we usually do because everyone was so wrapped up in just enjoying eachother.

| Disney |
Here are the pictures of Disney. We had such a wonderful time. The kids really loved it and are so excited to go again. Meeting Mickey and Minnie was the highlight for both of them and getting to see where they live : ) We only did the one park this time but when we go back in Jan or Feb we are going to go to the others. Can't wait!! Caden keeps asking when he can go visit Mickey again.
