Owen's surgery

Leaving the hospital

before his goofy medicine

checking in

Owen had his tonsils and adnoids out on Monday. The precedure went well but coming out he was very sleepy so they kept him in post recovery longer than expected. On top of that he kept holding his breath so they had to keep waking him up to remind him to breathe. When he finally made it to his room he was awake and kind of lippy. He informed me that if I die before he is 30 he wants my car. He had bad gas and tried to blame it on his dad :) When we finally got to go home he fell asleep in the car and slept for most of the day. Then tuesday night he spiked a fever which worried us but tylenol and a bath brought it down. So it has been a long couple of days. We have been making him sit up and move around but he still acts like he doesn't feel good :) Hopefully he feels better tomorrow!

Wright State Game with the kids

Meegan and I took the kids to the WSU "Black Out" Game so they could use their free tickets that they received for Christmas. We had a wonderful time and it was a great game. Just for going to the game the first 5000 people received free black WSU T-Shirts. Then during the game Ashton caught a yellow T-shirt that they cheerleaders were throwing out! He was super excited and couldn't wait for Justin to come home so he could show him :) I took some wonderful pictures and the kids enjoyed getting to eat the kids hot dog meal box @ the game! So a big thanks to our neighbor Jane for the tickets! It was a wonderful night out for the kids.

Christmas with Aunt Amanda & Uncle Trent

Ashton and Owen love it when we go see Aunt Amanda and Uncle Trent because they let them rock out on all their guitars. They spend hours in there rocking out with Uncle Trent. They have even discussed starting a band :) It is always nice to spend time with them!

Me opening up my scrapbooking kit! I love it! Thank you Amanda and Trent. They know me all too well :)

The boys and Justin opening up their presents. The boys got some awesome coloring posters and activity books. Plus star wars reading books. Ashton got an axe gift set and Owen got a wooden train to put together. They were stoked to open up more gifts! Justin got an awesome Bengals T-shirt and a new pocket knife. He was excited as well seeing as he needed a new knife! Thanks again to Amanda & Trent for having over friday night for dinner and for our presents! Love you guys!

We headed to Cincy to have dinner with Justin's family before Aunt Diane had surgery! It was a great dinner and we enjoyed spending time with everyone especially Aunt Diane :) Her surgery went well and they had to remove more than expected but she is in recovery at the hospital at the moment. It is going to be a long recovery for her and we wish her all the best!

New Years Eve

Ashton, Riley, & Owen
These 3 rocked out until 2 am and even then they did not want to go to bed. They were having a blast just playing video games and snacking. They were really well behaved and got along with no arguments :)

Here are the 3 stooges before they grabbed something to eat and headed back downstairs to play video games :0)

Meegan and I in our awesome party hats and party glasses :) Lori also came over but she was a little late and I didn't get any pictures with her. Us ladies had a blast hanging out playing different card games while the men went to the basement with the kids and played on the arcade games. I have to say it was the most relaxed New Years Eve ever. We had fun just drinking and hanging out with each other.
