Buddy!

I had this small reminder come across my Instagram feed the other day. 

It was the day we learned that Buddy probably has cancer.... It was a very crushing day, devastating doesn't even begin to touch how we felt. I know most people do not consider their family pet a member of their family like we do. Buddy goes with us on most vacations, he is included in our family like a grand child, and if you don't like our dog we probably don't like you;)

He has had a tumor growing for the last 2.5 months on his eye lid that just kept getting bigger and bigger. I took him into get his hair done(and its at the vet clinic) and the vet was called in to check it out. The clinic had taken a close up picture of Buddy last appointment(2 months ago) and the tumor was not there. Because the growth had grown so rapidly they called us in and said he should have surgery to remove it as soon as possible. That is also why they think its cancer,  in the last 4 days its almost doubled! We are really hoping and praying that its just a random growth and once removed it will be taken care of. 

Buddy goes in for surgery tomorrow morning.

I love this little guy more than words...I hope this storm is a short easy storm and nothing that is to long!

Christmas and Baby Boy!

We will start with Christmas! What a day! this year Khloe fully understood what was going on! Santa was going to bring her LOTS of presents...:-) And that he did...This year with a new baby coming we needed bunk beds to stuff Dax and Khloe in a room! So we called Santa and asked him for a set...He brought them along with lots of toys. The kids were super spoiled by all grandparents! Khloes favorite toy was Daxton race car track...Daxtons favorite toy is also the race car track! The one toy I was worried about giving!

 We had our first Christmas in our new house and our first Christmas AT our house. My parents, Chris and his friend came over after we had opened stockings! It was fun making memories at our own house.

 On Christmas we got ALOT of snow...that snow has lasted until today! A couple days ago I got dressed to shovel the driveway(by the way shoveling a 3 car driveway SUCKS!! Steve has permission to buy a snow blower before next year!!) This is how Khloe got dressed.  Shoes on the wrong feet, mismatched socks, a skirt, Daxtons Jacket(no joke they share clothes!) and mittens that I had no idea we had!

 She has also had to sit through many hair appointments last month...She is always wanting to "paint" my hair...I guess it is pay back for making her sit nicely while I work!

 Thats our little boy:-) isn't he cute?! I remember with Daxton the ultra sound tech was shocked by his size but this time, they actually looked at dates to see if we needed to push up the due date! This baby measured 4 weeks ahead of schedule with the length of his legs, arms and feet! This little boy is MUCH longer than Daxton was. It scares me to death...Daxton is already is 4t shirts...he will be 18 months on the 17th! We have a couple names picked out but Steve likes one and I like the other...the top contender is Logan Hansen Cobbley. I guess we have a couple more months to figure things out:-)

 Sharing Ice cream... I love when they are not fighting...

 Ill be the first to say, Ive totally slacked on Sacrament meetings...if there is the smallest excuse to get out of it..we will leave, or just not go. I hate going by myself with two kids who just DO NOT GET SITTING QUIET! But one of my resolutions was to start going. Naturally when Sunday rolled around I mustered up the courage to go. It ended really bad...Like really really bad. Daxton flipped over the back of the bench hitting two other kids on his way down..they screamed...he screamed all during the quiet and reverent sacrament...Once we had recovered from that I felt like, I got this, I can do this...But then Daxton peed. all. over. It wet both sides of his pants, puddles in his shoes, puddles of the floor and the bench...No idea how he peed so much...Needless to say..we went home! 15 minutes is all we lasted...next week we will try again:-) Oh and by the way I had many emails asking if Dax was ok after his fall and the man who cussed(rather loudly....) apologized! I wish nursery was all 3 hours!

 Still running! 24 weeks and still going! Im not running high miles or even fast miles but a mile is a mile! I also have to stay close to my house or run on the treadmill because I end up having to pee every 10 mins...the other day was beautiful, and I felt pretty awesome running on snow packed roads!

 ok one last thing... I had a potato catch on fire!!! No joke...like my oven was a full on flame! luckily Steve was at work and didn't have to witness my screaming! felt like a big girl putting it out all by myself!
