Christmas !!

Christams was a little crazy this year!! Tuesday night my mom called to tell me that her step mom (my grandma) Wasn't doing so good. It seem like every other week she tells me that and when I go to visit her she is doing better, but this time I knew she wouldn't make it past Christmas day. So Wednesday Marcos was going to work only half a day so we could meet in Salt Lake to go visit my grandma for the last time. Just as I had the girls all packed in the car ready to leave I ran in side because I forgot my cell phone. As I entered the house the phone was ringing. It was my cousin calling to tell me Grandma had just died. I called Marcos and he was out doing some secret last minute shopping and was just a block from where my grandma lived. He convinced me to come and say my last goodbyes while I could. So I met him in sandy and he took Kenadie. Yasmin seemed to know what was going on and wanted to say goodbye too. I am Not sure if the whole thing scared her or if she understood. After they took her her body away my mom suggested that we spend Christmas eve together so we could be close during this hard time. So after packing up all the gifts and the clothes we spent Christmas eve and Christmas at my parents house. And with all the snow we stayed another night as well and did some after Christmas shopping on Friday. As you can see by the pictures Kenadie wasn't too interested in opening presents but Yasmin had fun. One thing I learned this Christmas is that we never know how short or long our time is on this earth so we better enjoy the moments we do have and not live with regrets!!!

Kenadie 18 Months

It's so hard to think that Kenadie really is almost 18 months in a few weeks. Last Thursday I gave Marcos Biggest welcome home gift...taking Kenadie to the doctor all by himself !! I had to work so I thought it would be great for Marcos to jump right in now that he was home. So He being the great dad that he is, he was excited for this chance . He said he can't remember her height due to all the screaming going on by our cute daughter but now her weight is 18 lbs and 14 oz . Yes, that forward facing car seat might not be to far off in the future after all. But on the down side he sent us to a ENT specialist to see about putting tubes in her ears. So Friday I got the joy of taking both Kenadie and Yasmin to the ENT to have them checked. After having 5 ear infections in 6 months the doctor thinks it's best to do tubes. And I had Yasmin checked as well for her adenoids and sure enough they are huge. SO in January we will take them the same day and have them both worked on. How fun !! Well I hope the tubes will help Kenadie. I remember having ear infections not fun !!

Welcome Home

Yes we made It!!! Marcos came home Friday Night at 10:38 p.m. We didn't even know the flight time until the day before. I guess that is military for you! So I had this great idea ... I took the girls to my parents house and got them ready for bed and put them in bed. Then I picked Marcos up from the airport and we went home. I told the girls that daddy would be home early Saturday morning. So by 8:30 Saturday morning we were at my parents house and Yasmin's first words out of her mouth as I entered the house was "were is daddy?" Marcos came out from behind me and scared her. She was so happy!! Kenadie on the hand was wondering who this stranger was. She still cries sometime when he tries to hold her but I think in a week she will be daddy's little girl again.!!!
