Well I just went through my blog list and got mad at "some people" who haven't posted in a few weeks, then realized I am one of those people. There really isn't a whole lot to brag about lately, but I've always got interesting stories don't I? I'll share a few about each of us.

• ROB- you know that handsome guy that I am married to is a champ. He puts up with a whole lot from me, and mind you it doesn't go unappreciated. Well recently a friend of mine had a big screen TV GIVEN to them. Yeah, the picture was pretty shaky and her husband can fix just about anything so they took it. Well her husband is crazy busy right now, and the TV was in her kitchen so she asked if we wanted it. Um, yeah, let me think about that. So we took it off their hands, took it to the TV repair shop, and $65 later we are the proud owners of a 50" big screen. We are very excited, and just in time for bowl season too!
• KRISTEN: One of the things that Rob puts up with is my beautiful voice. You know you sound pretty good when the radio is up real loud, but in the privacy of your own home you can really belt it and it doesn't matter how you sound. Mind you, I am one who loves the holidays, so lately it has been Christmas music filling our home. Sometimes from the radio, but usually from my own set of pipes. Two nights ago Rob informed me that he thought I should quit my career and join the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Did I catch some sarcasm in his voice? I think so. You know it's bad when Coop comes up to me and says in his cute little boy voice, "No, no, Mommy. No singin'." If I don't stop he actually starts to cry.
• ABBY: Well as much as I love this little girl, she might actually be the death of me. I haven't played the role of Cassey lately (or Casey, as some of you refer to me as). Although her new idea is wanting to move downstairs. We'll just see about that.
• COOPER: This little guy thinks he is hilarious, and to be honest so do I. However, this is one for the books. I am one that loves velcro on diapers, but I think Coopy is sometimes a little to active for his own good. A couple of weeks ago, one morning when I had Andra's kids as a matter of fact, Cooper came into the kitchen and I could "smell him" if you will. Mind you I change poopy diapers multiple times a day so, as much as it isn't the highlight, it isn't to big a deal. This time however, as I was following him back to his room I saw that there was poop all over his jammies and his right leg looked extra thick. That's right folks, his diaper had fallen off just in time for him to poop in his jammies. That was a fun one to clean up. Put that my list of things that will make me literally dry heave. The funniest part about this story is that I innocently asked Rob to get Coop dressed and ready for the day this morning, and the same thing happened again. It's a lot funnier when it doesn't happen to you.
• SHELBY: This little girl, I'm sorry, but is the cutest thing you've ever seen. If she is hungry or tired she gets cranky (a little like myself), other than that she's such a trooper. Abby sometimes thinks that she is a little more durable that she really is. In fact as I type this I have had to stop multiple times to get Abby to ease up. She likes to pull Shelby's legs out from under her while she crawls. Yeah, she's likes to test me to my limits.

Well those are all I have for now, hopefully these will make up for my lack of keeping up with my regular postings. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
