I am truly blessed to have such an amazing family. 

Warning: Photo explosion! :)  Enjoy! 

I had my needle biopsy today, that went pretty well. It went better than I expected, I was a little nervous as I didn't know what to expect. Grandma and Grandpa were watching the kids and Dan took the morning off so he could be with me. Won't get the results back until Friday, but the doctor didn't sound too worried. The nurses said I cannot lift anything over 10 pounds for a couple days, that goes for Aden and Keira :) Keira doesn't really understand that mommy has an owy and can't pick her up, it kind of breaks her heart when I can't pick her up (she hardly ever hears no from mommy).

I am all done with finals and this semester. I have all my grades in one class and found out I got an A. My other professor is being a butt head and waiting until the last day the class closes (which is Friday) to post the grades. It feels strange to be done with school for a while and just relax. Both kids are sleeping and I feel lost because I don't have homework to do. Tonight will be a good night to just relax and get caught up on some DVR while Dan is playing pool. Should probably get caught up on wii fit and guitar hero also:)

We are done Christmas shopping. Dan and I have allready opened some of our Christmas presents to each other, but we each have one gift that we are opening on Christmas Day with the kids. We went shopping with the kids for a couple hours but didn't get everything. Grandma and Grandpa watched them the second time we went Christmas shopping. I love going places with the kids, but it is a lot faster if you go by your self.

One semester down one more to go. I only have 4 more classes left till I graduate. This semester I am struggling for some reason. I have only had 2 classes this last 8 weeks but one of my classes is kicking my butt! I am getting a C in one of my Pscyh. classes, which is very rare for me since I am used to getting As & Bs. Next Spring is going to be tough with my classes, I have 4 classes at the same time, 2 of them are 16 week and 2 of them are 8 week. The first 8 weeks with all 4 classes are going to be tough, but the last 8 weeks with only 2 classes should be pretty good. I am almost done with my finals for this semester, didn't really have any finals just a lot of 8-10 page papers. I have one 3 page paper and I will be done for this semester.

We went Christmas shopping this week and I think we are done. We are going to take Keira and Aden to see Santa some time this week, probably the weekend. It is time for Keira to know who Santa is and start getting excited about Santa coming. Dan is taking 2 weeks off between Christmas and New Years, looking forward to that :) I am thinking about making Christmas cookies with Keira as a start of a tradition each year, we will see how that goes... wish me luck :)
She is usually good about helping mommy, but she always wants to taste everything.

Our team had a pretty good night Sunday for leagues. We won all 6 and each of us shot in the upper 40s out of 50. I shot pretty good and beat Dan for the night, Dan shot a 42 and I shot a 43.

Pretty relaxing morning. Keira is sitting on her pillow on the couch watching toons and Aden is still sleeping in his crib. Aden did wake up at 4:30 this morning, he goes back to sleep pretty easily after he eats. Not much planned for today just probably play on the floor with the kiddos.

I know Dan feels bad each night he plays pool and I appreciate everything he does. I got out a couple times by myself these last couple weeks. We didn't play our pool leagues because of Thanksgiving so I went to a pool tournament here in Lincoln at Drifter's. I am usually pretty nervous when it comes to pool tournaments because I am not as good as most of the people I play but I try. This was a nine ball tourny and they go by your ranking. I am rated a 3 (the lowest you can go), everyone else was rated at least a 4, the highest rating was a 9. I got a bye my first match, won my second, then lost and went into the loser's bracket. I won my first match in the losers bracket then ran into a 9 and lost. That week I got 7th out of 18 ,that is pretty good for me. I went to the pool tourny again last week because it was my turn to be off of leagues for the week. I went to the same place. This time I lost right away so I was in the loser's bracket. I won my second, third, and fourth match, so by then I was in the money. I finally met my match with a 9 player again and lost. I got 5th out of 22 that day, cashing out $15 for the day only making $2.

I really enjoy the time with the kids, but I enjoy the time to myself as well. I really appreciate everything Dan does for me. I know I don't show it enough or tell him enough. I don't know how he does it, going to work everyday then coming home and caring for the kids while I do my homework.

Well, better go for now and spend some time with the kids.

Well, this is my first time doing a blog so we will see how it goes. Since both kids are asleep and I am done with my homework for this week I decided to splurge a little and play on the computer because I never do that :).

The kids are growing fast. Keira is so smart, but she just keeps amazing me everyday. Aden is getting big and keeps getting cuter every day. He is smiling a lot now. He is spending more time on his tummy so he can lift his head and neck up pretty good.

Aden is sleeping through the night now which is a plus since he is pretty fussy between 8 p.m and 11p.m. Keira was like that for a couple months, the doctors said she had reflux. Since night time is Aden's "tough" hours it has been pretty rough at night since Dan plays pool 2 or 3 times a week, but I wouldn't change staying home with them all day for the world.

And in other news..... While I was pregnant with Aden I found a lump in my breast, my doctor said it could be due to hormones while pregnant. I went back for my 6 week check up after Aden was born and it was still there. My doctor recommended that I wait 6 more months before I do anything about it. It has been bugging me so I went back to my doctor and got an ultrasound of that area, they suggested that I have a surgical consult with a doctor from Bryan LGH. I had that consult today and he suggested that I get it removed right away. So after all that said, my surgery is set up for Wednesday December 17th.
